Aroctober,Pi904^m'}    American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  481 
After  receiving  the  credentials  of  delegates  from  a  number  of 
national  as  well  as  State  and  local  associations,  the  President,  Lewis 
C.  Hopp,  Cleveland,  O.,  read  his  address.  This  address  was  subse- 
quently referred  to  a  committee  composed  of  F.  W.  Meissner,  La- 
porte,  Ind.;  Fabius  C.  Godbold,  New  Orleans,  La.;  Chas  A.  Rapelye, 
Hartford,  Conn. 
Reports  of  committees  were  asked  for.  The  Association  then 
adjourned  to  select  the  several  members  of  the  Nominating  Com- 
mittee. In  the  subsequent  report  of  the  several  States  it  developed 
that  no  less  than  twenty-eight  States  and  Territories  were  repre- 
sented by  members  present. 
The  reading  of  the  minutes  of  Council  precipitated  considerable 
discussion  as  to  the  desirability  of  changing  the  official  program. 
The  amended  program,  recommended  by  W.  C.  Wescott,  of  Atlantic 
City,  and  seconded  by  Chas.  Holzhauer,  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  finally 
prevailed.  This  recommendation  provided  for  two  extra  evening 
sessions,  so  as  to  conclude  the  business  of  the  Association  on  Friday 
evening  in  place  of  Saturday  afternoon,  and  in  this  way  secure  an 
extra  day  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair  for  such  of  the  members  as  were  in- 
terested in  that  exhibition.
