M.  Searby,  the  vice-president,  E.  H.  La  Pierre,  presided  at  the 
meetings. 
The  vice-president  in  his  address  called  particular  attention  to 
the  growth  of  the  Conference  from  seventeen  schools  at  its  organ- 
ization in  1900  at  Richmond,  Va.,  to  thirty-three  schools  now 
holding  membership. 
The  report  of  the  chairman  of  the  executive  committee  showed 
that  the  Conference  was  doing  much  toward  assisting  in  raising 
the  standards  of  pharmaceutical  education. 
The  pharmaceutical  syllabus  was  carefully  considered  and  the 
Conference  voted  to  approve  its  general  scope  and  purposes.  The 
following  were  elected  to  represent  the  Conference  on  the  general 
syllabus  committee:  J.  H.  Beal,  H.  H.  Rusby,  J.  O.  Schlotterbeck, 
J.  A.  Koch,  W.  C.  Anderson,  C.  B.  Lowe,  and  H.  V.  Amy. 
The  by-laws  of  the  constitution  were  amended  so  as  to  provide 
that  one  year  of  high-school  shall  be  the  minimum  requirement 
for  entrance  to  all  schools  holding  membership  in  the  Conference. 
Prof.  J.  T.  McGill,  of  Vanderbilt  University,  read  a  paper  on 
"  The  High  School  in  the  Southern  States."  The  aim  of  Professor 
McGill's  paper  was  to  show  that  the  southern  states  had  ample 
high-school  facilities  to  prepare  students  to  meet  the  minimum 
requirement  of  one  year's  high-school  work. 
The  following  persons  were  elected  as  officers  of  the  Conference 
for  the  year  1910-1911:  President,  J.  O.  Schlotterbeck,  University 
of  Michigan,  Ann  Arbor;  Vice-President,  W.  J.  Teeters,  State
