portrait  of  Professor  Remington  was  then  presented  on  behalf  of  the 
Class  of  1906  by  Harvey  J.  Sunday,  and  was  accepted  on  behalf  of  the 
College  by  President  Howard  B.  French. 
In  presenting  the  portrait  Dr.  Sunday  spoke  as  follows : 
This  event  of  Alumni  Reunion  being  held  once  a  year,  recalls  to  our  mem- 
ories fond  and  sacred  duties  performed  at  college  while  endeavoring  to  master 
the  arts  of  pharmacy. 
These  duties,  though  happening  many  years  ago  to  some  of  you,  also  recall 
the  men  who  labored  hard  and  long,  spending  wearisome  hours  endeavoring  to 
raise  pharmacy  to  the  standard  it  has  reached  to-day. 
We,  as  the  Class  of  '06,  being  ushered  out  just  one  year  ago,  have  deep-rooted 
in  our  memories  cherished  fancies  of  the  instructors  who  so  nobly  and  will- 
ingly guided  us  through  our  college  years.  These  fancies,  originating  as  they 
did  through  the  ardent  efforts  of  our  instructors,  developed  into  appreciation, 
and  then  into  a  desire  for  an  opportunity  to  show  and  prove  this  appreciation. 
Several  ways  were  suggested,  but  none  satisfactorily  until  Professor  Kraemer, 
who  always  proves  "  the  man  of  the  hour,"  came  to  the  rescue,  his  suggestion 
being  an  "  oil  painting  "  of  our  noble  Dean,  Joseph  P.  Remington. 
The  opportunity  was  grasped  at  once,  and  before  twenty-four  hours  had 
passed  the  suggestion  had  been  presented  to  the  Class  Society,  acted  upon 
favorably,  and  a  committee  appointed  to  make  the  necessary  arrangements. 
To-night  we  are  here  to  bring  before  you  the  results  of  our  efforts  ;  although 
one  year  has  gone  by  and  has  brought  with  it  its  reverses  and  discouragements 
both  in  business  and  home  life  ;  our  effort  has  been  crowned  with  a  remem- 
brance which  shall  be  handed  down  from  generation  to  generation  and  shall 
adorn  the  walls  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  until  its  last  color 
shall  fade  from  view. 
Our  purpose  seemed  to  us  from  the  beginning  like  a  huge  mountain  efull  of 
rocks  and  narrow  passage-ways  and  thronged  with  difficulties  which  at  times 
seemed  almost  impossible  to  overcome  ;  but  determined  efforts  and  encouraging 
aids  of  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer  guided  us  on  and  accomplished  for  us  the  painting 
which  is  before  you  now. 
This  painting  is  by  one  of  Philadelphia's  foremost  artists,  Mr.  Henry  R. 
Rittenberg,  whose  work  is  known  the  Union  over,  and  whose  name  is  used  by 
every  lover  of  art. 
As  the  representative  of  the  '06  Class  I  wish  to  present  to  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmac}-  through  its  President,  Mr.  Howard  B.  French,  this  oil 
painting  of  Prof.  Joseph  Price  Remington  as  a  token  of  esteem  and  friendship. 
May  its  beauty  and  artistic  value,  as  it  hangs  upon  the  college  wall,  beam 
forth  with  enthusiasm  and  impress  upon  its  admirers  the  true  value  of  perse- 
verance in  accomplishing  a  purpose  ;  this  is  found  in  the  life  of  Joseph  P. 
Remington.  May  it  also  impress  upon  the  coming  Alumni  the  true  college  spirit 
in  which  it  had  its  origin  and  to  which  end  it  was  so  gloriously  and  bravely 
completed. 
And  now  in  behalf  of  the  '06  Class  I  wish  to  extend  to  you,  Professor 
Remington,  our  most  hearty  congratulations  on  your  thirty-fifth  year  as  a  mem-
