PROCEEDINGS OF THE N. Y. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. 247 
remarks on the character of the deceased, after which he 
offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously 
adopted: 
Resolved, That in the death of our late President, Con- 
stantine Adamson, a great public calamity has been sus- 
tained, which has fallen with especial weight upon this Col- 
lege, and that we, so lately his associates, have been stricken 
with deep sorrow at his removal, as by the loss of one of 
our first members, eleven years our President, always con- 
spicuous for his faithfulness, devoted zeal and efficiency, 
and yet more because of the profound respect we entertain- 
ed for his counsel, the admiration, and warm personal 
regard in which we held his high integrity and his estima- 
ble social qualities. 
Resolved, That his loss, great as it is to us, must be to his 
family a much deeper and more painful affliction ; that we 
offer our sympathy, not merely in form andcompliance with 
custom, but as sincere mourners with them, under a blow 
which, from their privilege of closer connexion, it is their 
greater affliction to feel. 
Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to col- 
lect materials for, and prepare a memorial of his life and 
services, to be read before the College at its stated meeting 
in November. 
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, duly signed 
by the officers of the meeting, be presented by the commit- 
tee above mentioned, to the family of Mr. Adamson. 
It was, on motion, 
Resolved, That a copy of the chairman's address be also 
presented to the family.
