localities  and  to  establishments,  and  that  occasional  impromptu  meetings 
for  social  intercourse  were  arranged  and  successfully  carried  out,  need 
scarcely  be  stated  in  view  of  the  well-known  generous  hospitality  of  the 
citizens  of  Cincinnati  in  general,  and  of  the  Cincinnati  pharmacists  in  par-

MINUTES  OF  COLLEGE  MEETING. 
Philadelphia,  September  26th,  1887. 
A  stated  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  College  was  held  in  the  hall  this 
•day,  Robert  Shoemaker,  presiding.  Seventeen  members  present.  The  min- 
ute of  the  last  stated  meeting  was  read,  and  on  motion  adopted.  The  minute 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  September  was  presented,  and  on  motion  ap- 
proved. The  terms  of  three  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  expiring  with 
this  date,  as  also  the  yearly  terms  of  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members? 
it  was  on  motion  resolved  to  hold  an  election.  The  names  of  the  following 
gentlemen  (the  present  incumbents),  were  placed  in  nomination  for  Trus-

Charles  Bullock,  Gustavus  Pile,  and  Wallace  Proctor,  (also  present  iucum-

all  the  candidates,  which  being  done  they  were  declared  duly  elected  to

The  report  of  the  delegates  to  the  recent  session  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  held  at  Cincinnati  being  called  for,  the  Chairman, 
Henry  Trimble,  presented  the  same  which  was  on  motion  accepted,  and 
directed  to  be  placed  upon  the  minutes.  The  following  are  condensed 
prominent  statements  in  the  report : — 
"The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Ee-organization  was  adopted  with  slight 
modification — this  report  changes  radically  the  method  of  business  pro- 
cedure, and  assigns  the  work  to  four  sections  as  follows.  Commercial 
Interests,  Scientific  Papers,  Pharmaceutical  Education,  and  Legislation  ; 
each  section  elects  its  own  officers.  Prominent  among  the  amend- 
ments made  to  the  by-laws  is  that  which  admits  to  membership  without 
payment  of  the  initial  fee.  The  newly  elected  officers  of  the  Association 
are  to  be  installed  in  future  at  the  closing  session.  An  exhibit  of  products 
is  to  be  held  annually  under  the  auspices  of  the  Association,  and  the  Asso- 
ciation is  to  become,  if  possible,  an  incorporated  body.  There,  are  about 
1400  active  members  now  on  the  roll,  seventy  having  been  elected  at  the  last 
session.  Of  cash  on  hand  $4,000  was  assigned  to  the  permanent  fund.  Three 
prizes  are  to  be  competed  for  annually  for  the  best  original  papers :  first, 
$75;  second,  $50;  third,  $25  ;  and  a  prize  for  the  best  exhibit.  The  meeting, 
is  on  all  sides  acknowledged  to  have  been  both  practically,  and  in  a  pro- 
fessional sense  a  success.    Much  credit  for  personal  enjoyment  is  accredited
