2.  That  this  standard  be  raised  as  rapidly  as  practicable  to  the 
preliminary  requirement  of  four  years  of  college  work,  i.  e.,  gra- 
duation in  a  college,  for  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Pharmacy,  and

preparatory  school  of  equal  grade,  for  the  degree  of  Pharmaceutical 
Chemist  or  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy. 
Discussion  on  this  resolution  was  postponed  until  after  the  report 
of  the  Committee  on  President's  Address,  which  report  recommended 
that  this  subject  be  given  more  time  for  the  framing  of  restrictions, 
and  therefore  advised  that  final  action  be  postponed  until  the  next 
annual  meeting. 
Professor  Remington  made  a  short  report  of  the  visit  of  the  dele- 
gates to  the  meeting  of  the  N.A.R.D.,  and  urged  that  it  was  very 
important  that  another  committee  of  delegates  be  sent  to  the  next 
annual  meeting.  The  report  was  accepted  and  the  committee  dis- 
charged. 
At  the  second  meeting  of  the  Conference,  there  not  being  a  suffi- 
cient number  of  members  present  to  transact  business,  action  upon

taken  by  mail  vote.
