The  Nominating  Committee  was  then  appointed  by  the  selection  of  one 
member  of  each  delegation  from  colleges  of  pharmacy  and  state  associa- 
tions, and  the  committee  was  authorized  to  receive  the  representatives  of 
other  delegations  from  such  bodies  who  may  arrive  in  time  for  participating 
in  the  labors  of  the  committee.  The  following  non-delegates  were  appointed 
by  the  chair;  J.  P.  Remington,  of  Pennsylvania,  Leo  Eliel,  of  Indiana,  John 
Weir,  of  Ohio,  G.  H.  Schafer,  of  Iowa,  and  D.  S.  Carraway,  of  Tennessee. 
The  minutes  of  the  Council  since  the  last  annual  meeting  were  read  by 
the  secretary,  and  were  on  motion  approved.  In  this  connection  the  various 
reports  spread  upon  the  Council  minutes  were  read,  among  them  a  very 
thorough  one  by  the  Auditing  Committee  Jos.  L.  Lemberger,  Henry  Canning 
and  Linus  D.  Drury,  who  had  closed  the  books  of  the  former  treasurer  pre- 
ceding their  being  turned  over  to  the  new  treasurer.  The  committee  had 
found  numerous  discrepancies  in  the  accounts,  leaving  a  balance  of  $2195 
due  to  the  Association  from  the  former  treasurer.  The  present  treasurer 
subsequently  reported  that  this  balance  had  been  paid  over  to  him  in  full- 
The  committee's  report  had  been  printed  by  order  of  the  Council,  and  copies 
of  it  were  distributed  to  the  members  present. 
The  three  members  of  the  Auditing  Committee,  having  performed  the 
tedious  labor  assigned  to  them,  without  asking  any  recompense  therefor 
were  elected  life  members  by  the  Council,  who  ordered  that  the  requisite 
sum  for  this  purpose,  $120,  be  transferred  from  the  general  to  the  perma- 
nent fund. 
The  Council  had  also  instructed  the  treasurer  to  arrange  with  a  reliable 
insurance  company  for  a  bond  by  $5000 — which  sum  was  subsequently  in- 
creased to  $10,000  by  the  association.  It  had  also  been  decided  to  publish 
annually  in  the  Proceedings  a  complete  list  of  all  dues  received  by  the  treas- 
urer during  the  preceding  year.  Three  members,  who  had  waved  their  right 
to  life  membership  under  the  old  constitution,  were  made  life  members,  old 
style,  without  claim  to  the  Proceedings. 
The  last  Auditing  Committee's  report  showed  the  total  receipts  of  the 
treasurer  up  to  July  1st,  to  have  been  $13,276.14,  and  the  expenditures 
$8,556  70,  leaving  a  balance  in  bank  at  the  date  named  of  $4,719.44.  The  invest-
