was  350,  making  a  total  membership  of  2,200;  J.  H.  Beal  and  H. 
M.  Whelpley  were  respectively  chosen  president  and  secretary  of 
the  Council  for  the  ensuing  year. 
The  Procter  Monument  Committee,  through  its  chairman,  Dr. 
John  F.  Hancock,  of  Baltimore,  reported  progress  in  the  work. 
He  said  that  the  work  would  require  time  and  the  co-operation  of 
all  the  various  pharmaceutical  bodies,  and  spoke  of  the  educational 
influence  on  the  younger  element  in  pharmacy  by  keeping  before 
them  the  work  of  such  a  man  as  Procter.  In  concluding  his  remarks, 
Dr.  Hancock  said  we  build  monuments  to  our  soldiers,  to  those 
who  were  prominent  in  war,  and  should  also  build  monuments  to 
those  whose  business  it  is  to  save  the  lives  of  the  people.  He  then 
called  upon  the  secretary  of  the  committee,  Henry  Kraemer,  of 
Philadelphia,  who  presented  a  formal  report  of  the  work.  Professor 
Kraemer  prefaced  his  remarks  by  the  statement  that  the  movement 
originated  several  years  ago  as  the  sequel  of  a  suggestion  made  by 
their  late  fellow-member,  Albert  E.  Ebert,  and  that  the  work  had 
been  carried  on  by  the  association.  The  report  showed  that  about 
$3,5CO  has  been  collected  by  the  committee,  and  contained  the  pro- 
posal to  turn  over  the  funds  collected  each  year  by  the  committee 
to  the  association  at  the  time  of  the  annual  meeting.  The  request 
was  also  made  to  have  the  committee  enlarged,  and  this  was  granted, 
upon  motion  of  Dr.  Hancock.  A  motion  made  by  S.  A.  D.  Shep- 
pard  to  accept  the  funds  from  the  committee  each  year  and  to  in- 
struct the  Financial  Committee  as  to  their  proper  care,  was  adopted. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Reorganization  was  submitted 
by  the  chairman,  and  by  vote  of  the  association  placed  upon  the 
records  for  action  next  year.
