MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
Philadelphia,  March  27,  1882. 
The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  held 
this  day  at  the  Hall  of  the  College,  No.  145  North  Tenth  street.  Dillwyn 
Parrish,  President,  occupied  the  chair,  and  17  members  were  in  attendance. 
The  minutes  of  the  last  meeting  were  read  and,  on  motion,  adopted. 
In  the  absence  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  Thomas  S. 
Wiegand  read  the  minutes  of  the  Board  during  the  last  six  months  which 
were,  on  motion,  approved. 
These  minutes  inform  the  College  that,  at  the  recent  commencement,. 
117  students  had  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  conferred  i*pon  them, 
and  that  two  of  their  number,  Messrs.  Virgil  Coblentz,  of  Springfield, 
Ohio,  and  Jonas  G.  Clemmer,  of  Philadelphia,  were  each  awarded  a  gold, 
medal  known  as  the  "  Procter  Prize,"  for  obtaining  the  highest  average  in 
all  branches  taught  in  tlie  College. 
Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  Librarian,  reported  that  "  the  theses  and  thirty 
volumes  are  in  the  hands  of  the  binder.  There  have  been  added  by  pur- 
chase, since  last  report,  20  volumes." 
The  Curator's  report  was  then  read  and,  on  motion,  adopted. 
"  The  Curator  would  respectfully  rejDort  that  several  additions  to  the 
Cabinet  have  been  made  during  the  last  year,  probably  the  most  valuable 
being  the  electrical  apparatus  presented  by  a  graduate  of  this  College — 
Frederick  Gutekunst,  Esq.  The  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  have  been  fre- 
quent occasions  when  additions  have  been  made,  and  have  undoubtedly 
been  the  cause  of  increasing  the  number  of  specimens  to  a  very  useful 
degree.  With  the  enlarged  space  now  afforded,  it  is  hoped  that  during  the 
coming  summer  cases  may  be  furnished  to  comj^lete  the  further  arrange- 
ment of  the  accumulated  specimens.      Respectfully  submitted, 
"Joseph  P.  Remington."
