MINUTES  OF  THE 
forward  the  subjects  suggested  in  the  President's  address,  stated 
that  they  had  prepared  a  series  of  resolutions,  which  could  be 
read  and  acted  on  separately,  as  the  most  direct  way. 
1.  Resolved,  That  in  view  of  the  arduous  labors  involved,  the  salary  of  the 
Permanent  Secretary  for  the  ensuing  year  be  increased  to  $400,  and  that 
of  the  Treasurer  to  $200. 
Prof.  Maisch  wished  to  know  where  the  money  was  to  come 
from. 
Mr.  Colcord  seconded  the  resolution,  and  expressed  great  plea- 
sure that  it  had  been  brought  forward. 
Dr.  Squibb  heartily  approved  of  the  resolution,  and  hoped  it 
would  be  made  permanent  instead  of  for  the  ensuing  year  only. 
After  several  motions  to  render  the  resolution  continuous  and 
to  increase  the  amount  of  salary  were  lost,  the  original  reso- 
lution was  adopted. 
Mr.  Shinn  read  the  second  resolution  : 
2.  i^esoZi'ed.That  the  Secretary  be  directed  to  forward  to  the  President 
of  the  Decennial  Pharmacopoeial  Convention,  in  May  next,  a  printed 
copy  of  the  Proceedings  of  this  Convention. 
Dr.  Squibb  seconded  the  resolution  in  order  to  bring  it  under 
dissussion  ;  he  was  opposed  to  it,  because  the  report  on  the 
Pharmacopoeia  of  this  year  is  only  one  of  a  series  by  the  Pharm- 
acopoeia Committee,  and  hence  the  proceedings  of  this  year 
would  not  represent  the  action  of  the  Association  ;  he  also 
considered  it  unnecessary,  as  at  best  it  is  only  an  act  of  courtesy, 
we  having  no  right  of  representation. 
The  motion  was  then  put  and  negatived. 
Mr.  Shinn  then  offered  the  third  : 
3,  Resolved,  That  this  Association  earnestly  recommend  every  incorpo- 
rated College  of  Pharmacy  in  the  United  States  to  send  delegates  to  the 
next  Decennial  Convention,  prepared  to  present  the  views  of  their  re- 
spective Colleges  on  the  revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia. 
Which  was  adopted. 
Mr.  Shinn's,  next  resolution  regretted  that  the  Committee  on 
the  Drug  Market  had  failed  to  prepare  a  report,  and  asked  that 
the  rules  be  suspended  to  permit  the  Committee  to  prepare  sta- 
tistical tables  in  time  for  the  Proceedings. 
After  some  discussion  the  resolution  was  rejected.
