MINUTES OF BOARD OP TRUSTEES. 
EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF 
TRUSTEES. 
At a stated meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Phi- 
ladelphia College of Pharmacy, held 12th month 21st, 1846, 
the chairman announced the death of A. J. L. Duhamel, a 
member of this Board, who died of a pulmonary disease, 
this morning at about 6 o'clock, in the 33rd year of his age 
The following minute, which was prepared by the Secre- 
tary on the occasion, was approved, and ordered to be re- 
corded. 
The Board of Trustees having been called to mourn the 
death of their late esteemed fellow member, Augustine J. L 
Duhamel, have regarded an expression of their sorrow on 
the occasion, and their respect for his memory, as called for 
at their hands. 
He became a graduate of our College in 1834, and a 
member in 1840, and during the last five years has beeji 
one of the most zealous and useful members of this Board 
His talent for scientific research, and thorough acquaintance 
with Pharmacy and its kindred sciences, have been exhibit- 
ed in numerous contributions to the American Journal of 
Pharmacy, and in the discussions of our pharmaceutical 
meetings. 
Though possessed of a retiring disposition, his talents 
were not the less appreciated by his associates, and he was 
not without frequent evidences of their confidence and re- 
gard. His early death has terminated a career of usefulness 
and honour, and thrown over his survivors in this Board a 
feeling of unfeigned sorrow. He will long be remembered 
by them as an accomplished apothecary, and an amiable 
and esteemed associate in their labours. 
Extracted from the minutes, 
Edward Parrish, Secretary.
