MINUTES  OF  THE 
Resolved,  That  the  Committee  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy  shall  con- 
sist of  three  members,  who  shall  be  elected  every  third  year,  to  serve  for 
the  period  of  three  years,  and  that  the  subjects  upon  which  they  report 
shall  be  divided  into  three  parts,  one  part  of  which  shall  be  reported  on 
by  each  member  of  the  Committee. 
Resolved,  That  the  report  of  this  Committee,  in  addition  to  being 
printed  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Association,  shall  be  published  sepa- 
rately in  book  form. 
The  President.  If  there  is  no  objection  they  will  lay  over 
until  next  year. 
Mr.  Haviland,  on  behalf  of  the  Committee  on  the  time  and 
place  for  the  next  annual  meeting,  reported  that  they  recom- 
mend Saratoga  Springs,  New  York,  on  the  second  Tuesday  of 
September,  1870. 
Mr.  Maisch  desired  to  know  the  reasons  that  induced  the  Com- 
mittee to  depart  from  the  usual  course  of  meeting  in  large  cities. 
Mr.  Haviland  replied  that  it  was  to  break  up  the  habit  of 
causing  expensive  entertainments  to  be  given  by  the  members  of 
*  the  place  visited,  and  that  of  electing  the  President  from  the 
place  of  meeting  when  another  member  might  be  more  desirable. 
Mr.  Procter  asked  whether  the  report  of  the  Committee  was 
final  or  subject  to  the  decision  of  the  meeting  ? 
Mr.  Haviland.    The  meeting  has  the  decision. 
Mr.  Tufts  had  just  received  a  letter  from  Baltimore  reiterat- 
ing its  invitation  to  meet  there  next  year. 
Mr.  Colcord  moved  that  when  we  adjourn  we  adjourn  to  meet 
at  Saratoga  Springs,  and  advocated  the  measure  for  the  reasons 
given  by  Mr.  Haviland. 
Mr.  Procter  opposed  the  motion,  and  hoped  we  would  meet 
somewhere  South.  We  had  an  invitation  from  Baltimore  last 
year  and  this  ;  he  thought  the  argument  against  large  cities  not 
sound,  and  would  rather  meet  in  Richmond,  Va.,  than  at  Sara- 
toga Springs. 
Mr.  Menninger,  of  N.  Carolina,  advocated  Saratoga  for  the 
same  reasons  given  by  Mr.  Colcord,  and  doubted  the  propriety 
of  going  South  next  year. 
Mr.  Brown,  of  Kansas,  advocated  Saratoga  on  presidential 
grounds,  that  that  officer  should  be  taken  from  the  Association 
at  large.
