placing  on  it  the  task  of  continuing  the  work  and  of  issuing  a  revised 
edition. 
To  conserve  the  truest  interests  of  pharmacy  and  thus  to  deserve 
the  support  of  those  national  organizations  most  closely  representing 
those  interests,  it  was  felt  that  the  Committee  should  be  reorganized 
so  as  to  have  a  vital  relation  and  be  directly  representative  of  the 
three  great  national  bodies  most  deeply  interested  in  the  progress 
of  pharmacy.    On  formal  motion,  it  was 
Voted  to  recommend  that  this  responsibility  be  assumed  by  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  through  its  Section  on  Edu- 
cation and  Legislation,  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties,  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy. 
These  recommendations  were  made  by  the  Chairman  of  the  sub- 
committees at  the  Richmond  meeting.  As  a  result  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  amended  its  By-Laws  by  increasing  the 
number  of  Committees  by  one — "  a  committee  on  the  Pharmaceutical 
Syllabus  of  seven  members  " — and  provided  for  the  appointing  of 
members  to  the  same  by  the  President  of  the  Association  as  follows : 
"  One  member  shall  be  appointed  for  seven  years  and  one  for  six, 
five,  four,  three,  two  and  one  years  respectively ;  each  vacancy 
occurring  from  the  expiration  of  term  shall  be  filled  for  a  term  of 
seven  years ;  other  vacancies  shall  be  filled  at  the  annual  meetings 
of  the  Association  for  the  unexpired  terms.  This  committee  shall 
report  to  the  Association  through  the  Section  on  Education  and 
Legislation;  shall  be  members  of  the  National  Committee  on  the 
Pharmaceutical  Syllabus,  and  shall  recommend  to  the  Association 
its  proportionate  share  of  the  current  expenses." 
The  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties  provided 
a  new  By-Law  to  the  same  effect  and  provided  for  its  proportionate 
share  of  the  current  expenses. 
The  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  amended  its 
By-Laws  in  harmony  with  the  same  action  of  the  other  associations 
and  provided  for  its  proportion  of  the  expenses. 
Both  the  Conference  of  Faculties  and  the  Boards'  Association 
formally  adopted  the  syllabus  as  a  guide  for  future  examinations, 
during  the  syllabus  period. 
Representatives  were  nominated  and  elected  from  the  three 
associations  pursuant  to  the  amended  By-Laws,  and  on  Thursday 
evening,  May  5,  1910,  on  formal  call,  the  National  Committee  was
