MAY    PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING. 
The  last  of  the  series  of  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  for  1909-' 10 
was  held  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  May  24,  at  3  o'clock.  Mr.  M.  T. 
Wilbert,  of  the  Hygienic  Laboratory,  Washington,  D.  C,  presided. 
The  meeting  was  devoted  entirely  to  the  presentation  of  abstracts 
of  their  theses  by  some  of  the  members  of  the  graduating  class  of 
1910.  Specimens  illustrating  the  results  of  their  work  were  also 
shown.  There  was  considerable  discussion  and  the  meeting  proved 
to  be  of  interest  to  all  who  attended. 
The  following  students  participated  in  the  meeting:  Peter  Am- 
sterdam, Samuel  H.  Bartholomew,  Vastine  A.  Keister,  Wallace  E. 
Klopp,  S.  D.  Lamb,  Charles  N.  Lang,  Donald  A.  McMillen,  P.  C. 
H.  Webb. 
As  Professor  Kraemer  had  previously  stated  that  he  desired  to 
be  relieved  of  the  details  and  responsibilities  of  the  work  connected 
with  the  meetings  (see  this  Journal,  May,  1910,  p.  246)  and  as  the 
By-Laws  provide  for  the  election  annually  of  a  secretary  or  recorder 
at  the  meeting  in  May,  he  accordingly  recommended  that  Mr. 
Mitchell  Bernstein,  P.D.,  Acting  Librarian,  be  elected  to  the  office, 
stating  that  as  Librarian  he  would  be  in  a  position  to  verify  state- 
ments brought  up  in  the  discussion  and  prepare  accurate  accounts 
of  the  meetings  for  publication.  Mr.  Bernstein  was  then  elected 
to  the  position  of  Recorder  for  the  year  1910-1911. 
Henry  Kraemer, 
Secretary.
