At  a  stated  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  held  Third 
Month  March  27th,  1854.  In  the  absence  of  the  presiding  officer 
Professor  Bridges  was  called  to  the  chair.  The  minutes  of  the  last 
stated  meeting  were  read  and  approved.  The  minutes  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  were  then  read  by  their  Secretary.  Since  the  last  meeting  of  the 
College,  they  have  elected  William  Taylor,  Graduate  in  Pharmacy,  a  resident 
member.  They  also  recommended  to  the  College,  E.  H.  Heinitsh,  of  Co. 
lumbia,  S.  C,  as  an  associate  member. 
The  minutes  of  the  Board  further  informed  that  the  Examining  Committee 
and  Professors  had  reported  the  names  of  26  gentlemen,  as  having  passed  a 
satisfactory  examination,  and  complied  with  the  requirments  of  the  College, 
and  worthy  the  Degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy.  (See  page  285.) 
In  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the  Committee  and  Professors, 
the  Board  proceeded  to  an  election,  and  the  Degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy 
was  unanimously  conferred  on  each  of  them. 
A  written  report  was  received  from  the  Committee  on  Latin  Labels,  which 
was  satisfactory,  and  the  Committee  was  continued. 
The  Committee  on  a  modification  of  the  By-Laws  regulating  the  admission 
of  members  was  further  continued. 
On  motion,  the  College  proceeded  to  the  election  cf  E.  H.  Heinisth,  as  an 
Associate  Member,  as  recommended  by  the  Board  of  Trustees.  E.  T.  Ellis 
was  appointed  Teller,  upon  whose  report  the  Chairman  declared  him  un- 
animously elected. 
On  motion  of  Edward  Parrish,  it  was  resolved  that  the  Board  of  Trustees 
have  authority  to  dispense  with  the  present  seal,  now  in  use  on  the  diplomas, 
and  have  a  new  one  made  for  use  on  the  diplomas  and  certificates  of  member- 
ship, in  accordance  with  the  suggestion  of  a  Committee  of  the  Board,  as 
detailed  in  their  minutes. 
The  Committee  appointed  to  inquire  into  the  reputed  abuse  of  the  name 
of  the  College,  in  connection  with  business  advertisements,  made  a  report 
absolving  the  member  complained  of,  from  any  intentional  impropriety  of 
conduct.  The  report  was  satisfactory,  and  the  Committee  were  discharged 
from  further  attention  to  the  subject. 
Considerable  discussion  ensued  as  to  the  propriety  of  using  the  certificate 
of  membership,  or  the  diploma  of  the  College,  as  a  passport  to  public  favor 
through,  the  medium  of  the  press,  and  the  following  resolution  being  offered, 
was  adopted. 
Kesolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  College,  that  the  publication  of  the 
certificate  of  membership  and  the  diploma,  as  a  business  advertisement, 
is  anti- professional  and  inconsistent  with  the  spirit  of  our  code  of  ethics.
