Boston,  Sept.,  15th,  1859.  Committee. 
The  subject  of  altering  the  Constitution,  so  as  to  allow  chem- 
ists to  become  members  of  the  Association,  was  postponed  till 
next  year. 
William  Procter,  Jr.,  offered  the  following  resolution,  which 
was  adopted : 
«  Resolved,  That  in  future  meetings  of  the  Association  it  will 
greatly  keep  up  the  interest  of  the  sessions  if  it  be  determined 
to  make  the  reading  of  scientific  papers  proceed  parallel  with 
the  other  business,"  after  the  second  session,  so  as  not  to  delay 
till  the  last,  when  many  members  have  left,  many  valuable  and 
interesting  communications. 
Mr.  Carney,  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee,  asked 
for  instructions  in  reference  to  publishing  reports  of  Proceed- 
ings and  papers.  He  was  in  favor  of  publishing  very  full  reports. 
Dr.  Squibb,  Mr.  Parrish,  Mr.  Procter,  Mr.  Hegeman  and 
others  were  also  in  favor  of  full  reports. 
The  President  suggested  that  the  funds  of  the  Association 
were  not  sufficient  to  publish  the  Proceedings  in  full,  and  the 
Executive  Committee  would  find  themselves  on  difficulty  on  seek- 
ing a  publisher. 
A  motion  of  Dr.  Squibb,  to  assess  the  members  for  funds  to 
publish  the  Proceedings,  was  voted  down  ;  and  a  resolution  of 
Mr.  Hegeman,  to  ask  for  contributions  for  that  purpose,  was 
adopted. 
Dr.  Battey,  of  Rome,  Georgia,  offered  a  resolution  thanking 
the  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy  for  the  hospitalities  re- 
ceived at  their  hands. 
Edward  Parrish  moved  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  offered  to  the 
proprietors  of  the  newspapers  who  had  published  reports  of  the 
Proceedings  for  their  courtesy,  and  to  the  reporters  for  their 
careful  reports,  which  was  unanimously  adopted. 
Mr.  Kiersted,  of  New  York,  offered  resolutions  of  thanks  to 
the  President  and  Recording  Secretary,  which  were  adopted.
