sion  during  the  last  fifty  years  or  more.  Manufacturers,  pharma- 
cists and  members  of  some  of  the  colleges  have  contributed  much 
interesting  material,  and  the  committee  has  taken  care  to  exclude 
all  exhibits  that  might  lead  to  fault-finding  by  the  most  critical 
visitor.  The  chairman  of  this  committee  is  Thomas  P.  Cook,  114 
William  Street,  New  York  City. 
At  the  St.  Louis  meeting,  Professor  Caspari  offered  a  resolution : 
"  that  at  the  next  annual  meeting  of  this  Association,  in  1902,  a 
special  jubilee  session  be  held  to  commemorate  the  fiftieth  anni- 
versary of  its  organization,  and  that  Dr.  Frederick  Hoffmann,  of 
Berlin,  Germany,  be  invited  to  preside  over  this  session  and  to 
deliver  the  address  of  the  occasion."  A  special  committee  has  been 
appointed  to  look  after  this  jubilee  session  and  is  arranging  for  an 
interesting  program  on  Thursday  afternoon,  September  10th.  The 
committee  also  proposes  to  have  a  special  commemorative  exhibit, 
and  it  is  proposed  to  make  this  of  a  dual  character — one  section 
to  illustrate  the  advance  in  the  practice  of  pharmacy  and  pharmaceu- 
tical manufactures.  And  in  this  connection  will  be  exhibited  inter- 
esting relics,  old  apparatus,  obsolete  or  old  drugs  and  methods  of 
manipulation.  The  other  section  will  exhibit  the  advances  made  in 
pharmaceutical  literature  and  education,  the  pharmaceutical  and 
allied  works  of  members  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion, books  relating  to  pharmacy,  certificates,  medals,  diplomas, 
portraits  of  officers  and  illustrious  pharmacists,  etc. 
Materials  donated  or  loaned  should  be  sent  to  the  Committee  on 
Semi-Centennial  Celebration,  George  M.  Beringer,  Chairman,  in  care 
of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  not  later  than  August  20th, 
that  they  may  properly  arrange  and  catalogue  this  exhibit.
