ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION   OF  THE  PHILADELPHIA 
COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  Thirty -third  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  convened  in  the  Auditorium  of  the  College  Build- 
ing, 145  North  Tenth  Street,  on  Monday  afternoon,  April  12,  1897. 
President  Dr.  J.  Louis  D.  Morison,  '88,  presided,  and  called  the  meeting  to 
order  at  2.30  p.m.,  22  members  being  present. 
The  President  read  his  address,  in  which  he  said  :  "With  the  close  of  the 
exercises  attending  the  reception  to  the  seventy-sixth  graduating  class  to-night, 
we  shall  have  rounded  out  nearly  a  third  of  a  century  of  existence  as  an  active 
organization  ;  and  while  the  past  year  has  not  shown  any  very  conspicuous  evi- 
dences of  activity  beyond  that  of  mere  routine  work,  yet  I  am  happ}'  to  say  we 
are  still  quite  healthy.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  there  has  been  observed 
at  times  slight  symptoms  of  inertia  of  the  interest  in  the  work  of  the  Association 
which,  during  the  past  year  has,  at  times, seemed  to  flag,  I  am  by  no  means  con- 
vinced that  she  is,  therefore,  losing  her  vitality  as  an  organization. "  He  advised 
the  infusion  of  more  new  blood  into  her  veins  by  every  member  giving  to  the 
Association  a  more  lively  interest,  and  he  did  not  share  with  some  the  opinion 
that  because  the  Association  has  relinquished  its  interests  in  the  Quizzes  it  has, 
therefore,  no  important  work  to  do.  On  the  contrary,  he  felt  there  never  was 
a  time  in  its  history  when  its  field  for  work  was  larger  and  more  full  of  promise
