Am^ur. Fbarm.j    Americaii  Pharmaceutical  Association.  191 
Resolved,  That  we,  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  meeting  assembled, 
record  our  sorrow  at  this  loss.    Be  it  further 
Resolved,  That  we  deplore  his  death  as  friends  and  as  fellow 
workers  in  the  field  of  pharmacy.    Be  it  further 
Resolved,  That  we  heartily  endorse  the  proposed  monument  to 
perpetuate  the  memory  of  Albert  E.  Ebert  and  urge  that  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  contribute  toward  the  fund  which  is  now  being  raised  to 
erect  a  monument  to  his  memory. 
Dr.  H.  C.  Wood,  Jr.,  as  chairman  of  the  committee  on  exhibitions, 
made  an  exhaustive  report,  detailing  what  had  been  accomplished 
to  date,  and  outlining,  in  a  general  way,  the  exhibition  that  it  was 
proposed  to  make  in  connection  with  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
American  Medical  Association  in  Atlantic  City  during  the  coming 
summer. 
Dr.  Wood  said,  in  part  :  "  The  authorities  of  the  American  Medi- 
cal Association,  through  the  Section  on  Pharmacology  and  Thera- 
peutics, have  given  permission  for  an  exhibit  of  pharmaceuticals  to 
be  held  in  connection  with  the  regular  scientific  exhibit  of  the  asso- 
ciation, in  which  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  of  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  has  also  promised  to  co-operate. 
"  Your  committee  desires  in  the  first  place  to  express  its  convic- 
tion that  a  most  extraordinary  opportunity  is  offered  to  this  asso- 
ciation, or  branch,  to  render  an  inestimable  service  to  the  professions 
of  pharmacy  and  medicine — a  service  which  would  inure  not  only  to 
the  benefit  of  humanity  but  also  to  the  credit  of  the  Philadelphia 
Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association." 
Dr.  Wood  then  detailed  the  plans  for  this  proposed  exhibition  and 
concluded  with  the  statement  that  the  committee  "  believe  it  much 
better  not  to  exhibit  too  large  a  number  of  preparations,  as  a  mass 
of  material  would  likely  lead  to  confusion,  but  to  show  a  compara- 
tively few  types  that  would  tend  to  have  a  permanent  educational 
effect  on  the  visiting  medical  men." 
The  election  of  officers  for  the  coming  year  resulted  in  the  selec- 
tion of  the  following:  President,  Joseph  P.  Remington  ;  First  Vice- 
President,  William  Mclntyre ;  Second  Vice-President,  William  L. 
Cliffe  ;  Secretary-Treasurer,  Martin  I.  Wilbert. 
M.  I.  Wilbert,  Secretary.
