were  delinquent  in  paying  the  annual  dues  and  were  liable  to  have 
their  membership  forfeited.  The  matter  was  continued  to  the  com- 
mittee  for  further  effort  to  secure  payment. 
A  member  called  attention  to  the  fact  that  a  corresponding  mem- 
ber elected  some  years  ago  had  since  removed  to  the  United  States. 
The  by-laws  of  the  college  provide  that  no  corresponding  mem- 
ber shall  continue  as  such  after  removing  to  the  United  States,  but 
may  be  elected  to  active  or  associate  membership.  The  subject  was 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  further  correspond- 
ence. 
A  report  of  the  delegates  to  the  meeting  of  the  New  Jersey 
Pharmaceutical  Association  was  made  by  the  chairman,  George  M. 
Beringer,  who  stated  that  the  program  was  replete  with  entertain- 
ments, papers,  committee  reports,  etc. 
The  subject  of  legislation  received  considerable  attention,  as  dur- 
ing the  year  there  had  been  passed  by  the  legislature  a  modification 
of  the  State  Food  and  Drug  Law  enacted  last  year,  and  likewise  a  bill 
aimed  to  prevent  the  sale  of  narcotic  drugs.  The  latter  bill  is  not 
satisfactory  to  the  drug  interests,  and  at  the  next  session  of  the 
legislature,  it  is  hoped  that  a  general  anti-narcotic  bill  will  be  passed 
that  will  properly  control  the  sales  of  all  narcotic  drugs.  Professors 
La  Wall  and  Cook,  of  the  college,  contributed  interesting  papers, 
and  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer  was  elected  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Association.  The  next  meeting  of  the  Association  will  be  held 
at  Lake  Hopatcong. 
The  delegates  to  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
through  the  chairman,  Prof.  C.  B.  Lowe,  made  an  interesting  verbal 
report. 
Prof.  Henry  Kraemer,  who  had  been  appointed  to  represent  the 
college  at  the  commencement  and  installation  of  the  new  president 
of  Pennsylvania  State  College,  reported  as  follows  :  He  stated  that 
the  universities  and  colleges  of  the  State  were  well  represented,  and 
that  the  commencement  exercises  were  very  interesting.  The 
address  by  Dr.  Edwin  E.  Sparks,  the  newly  elected  president,  on 
"  The  Economic  Obligation  of  Public  Education,"  showed  the  value 
of  technical  education,  not  only  to  the  manufacturer,  but  to  the  State 
and  the  nation.  Addresses  were  also  made  by  Dr.  A.  C. 
Humphreys,  president  of  Stevens  Institute  of  Technology,  and 
Dr.  Paul  Shorey,  head  of  the'department  of  Greek,  the  University
