MINUTES  OF  MEETING  OF  MEMBERS  OF  THE 
COLLEGE. 
The  stated  quarterly  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  College  was  held  Septem- 
ber 27th,  at  4  o'clock  p.m.,  Vice-president  Jenks  presiding.  Minute  of  previous 
stated  meeting  read  and  adopted.  Minutes  of  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
for  July  and  September  presented  and  approved.  The  secretary  referred  to  the 
subject  of  a  proposed  uniform  pharmacy  law  for  the  States,  concerning  which 
this  College  was  requested  to  send  a  form  or  draft  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Sec- 
tion on  Kducation  and  Legislation  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
The  consideration  of  the  subject  having  been  postponed  for  the  want  of  suffi- 
cient time,  it  was  again  resolved  to  defer  action  until  some  more  definite  pro- 
gress or  report  should  be  made  by  the  Committee  of  the  Association.  In 
obedience  to  the  direction  given  the  secretary,  there  was  presented  and  read 
the  opinion  of  the  legal  counsellors  of  the  College,  upon  the  purpose  contained 
in  the  interrogatories  submitted  by  Mr.  Boring  at  the  June  meeting.  These 
questions  involved  the  constitutionality  of  certain  proposed  by-laws  which  were 
contemplated  as  an  amendment  to  the  existing  code.  On  motion,  it  was 
resolved  to  receive  and  file  this  report.  Mr.  Boring  objected  to  this  method  of 
disposing  of  the  subject  of  this  report,  and  desired  that  the  matter  should  be 
discussed  at  the  present  meeting.  Whereupon  Mr.  Beringer  moved,  and  the 
motion  was  carried,  that  the  chairman  should  appoint  a  committee  of  five  mem- 
bers who  should  consider  the  propositions,  and  report  upon  the  same  at  the 
next  stated  meeting.  The  chairman  named  Messrs.  Beringer,  Boring,  Stedem, 
Weidemann  and  Cliffe  as  members  of  this  committee.  Prof.  Sadtler  reported, 
verbally,  at  length,  on  behalf  of  the  delegates  of  the  college  to  the  sessions  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  upon  the  proceedings  of  that  body  at 
the  recent  meeting  in  August.  The  terms  of  Messrs.  Krewson,  Weidemann 
and  Kline,  as  trustees,  expiring  with  this  date,  and  these  gentlemen  being 
re-nominated  without  opposition,  the  secretary  was  instructed  to  cast  an  affirma- 
tive ballot,  which,  being  done,  all  were  declared  to  be  elected.  The  decease  of 
Prof.  Bastin  creating  a  vacancy  in  the  Board  of  Trustees,  nominations  for  this 
position  were  called  for.  Upon  the  nominations  being  made,  and  the  votes  of 
candidates  recorded,  the  tellers  announced  that  Mr.  C.  Carroll  Meyer  had 
received  the  highest  number  and  was  therefore  duly  elected. 
The  meeting,  on  motion,  adjourned. 
Wiujam  B.  Thompson,  Secretary.
