582 
MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
York.  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  Washington  and  Chicago,  and  by  numerous 
other  members.  One  gentleman  was  in  attendance  from  Tennessee,  one 
from  St.  Paul,  Minnesota,  and  the  3d  Vice  President,  Dr.  Battey,  from 
Georgia. 
A  large  number  of  members  were  in  attendance  from  the  New  England 
States,  and  much  interest  in  the  affairs  of  the  Association  seemed  to  be 
awakened  in  that  section. 
During  the  past  year  over  one  hundred  and  thirty  new  members  have 
been  added  to  the  Association.  A  number  of  papers  of  great  interest  were 
read,  which  will  duly  appear  in  the  transactions. 
The  Massachusets  College  of  Pharmacy  placed  ample  conveniences  at 
the  disposal  of  the  Association  to  transact  their  business  in  a  satisfactory 
and  comfortable  manner.  The  members  from  a  distance  were  treated  with 
great  courtesy  and  attention,  and  the  delegates  from  this  College  will  long 
remember  the  attention  received  at  the  hands  of  their  Boston  friends. 
Signed  on  behalf  of  the  Delegates,  Charles  Bullock. 
The  subject  of  subscribing  toward  the  publication  of  the  Proceedings 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  being  introduced,  the  College 
was  informed  that  the  income  of  the  Association,  arising  from  the  annual 
subscriptions  of  its  members,  was  likely  to  prove  insufficient  to  publish  a 
sufficient  edition  of  the  voluminous  Proceedings  in  extenso,  and  to  give  them 
the  circulation  which  their  interest  and  importance  demand,  and  on 
motion  the  subject  was  referred  to  the  attention  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
The  Committee  on  Obituary  Notices  introduced  the  following,  which 
were  directed  to  be  entered  on  the  Minutes : 
Departed  this  life  on  the  12th  of  June  last,  aged  49  years,  Hon.  Jacob 
Bell,  of  London,  one  of  the  honorary  members  of  this  College,  and  for 
many  years  President  of  the  London  Pharmaceutical  Society.  The  name 
of  Jacob  Bell  has  been  so  long  connected  with  the  history  of  Pharmaceutical 
progress  in  Great  Britain,  and  his  death  has  been  the  subject  of  so  much 
comment  in  the  London  Pharmaceutical  Journal,  of  which  he  was  editor, 
and  in  our  own  and  other  scientific  journals,  that  we  have  felt  any  notice 
beyond  an  official  record  of  the  loss  sustained  by  our  profession  to  be 
uncalled  for  in  this  place; 
Frederick  Klett,  one  of  the  original  members  of  this  College,  and  a 
member  from  its  foundation  till  his  decease,  died  on  the  26th  of  July,  1859, 
aged  64  years.  He  commenced  business  in  December,  1818,  at  the  corner 
of  Second  and  Callowhill  streets,  and  continued  in  the  same  location  till 
January,  1855,  when  he  sold  out  his  interest  and  retired  from  business. 
Since  1845  he  was  American  Consul  for  the  kingdom  of  Wurtemburg  in 
Germany.  He  was  an  active  and  enterprising  business  man,  and  was  much 
respected  in  this  community  during  his  long  business  career. 
In  accordance  with  resolutions  adopted  at  the  last  Annual  Meeting,  the 
College  balloted  for  Delegates  to  the  Pharmacopceial  Convention  of  1860. 
William  Procter,  Jr.,  Edward  Parrish  and  A.  B.  Taylor  were  duly  elected.
