PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
SEMI-ANNUAL  MEETING. 
The  semi-annual  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
was  held  September  30,  1907.  The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at 
4  p.m.  by  the  president,  Howard  B.  French.  The  minutes  of  the 
meeting  of  the  college,  held  June  24,  1 907,  were  read  and  approved. 
The  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  were  read  by  the  acting  se- 
cretary of  the  Board,  F.  P.  Stroup,  and  approved. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominations,  proposing  nominees 
for  the  Board  of  Trustees,  was  received  and  filed.  William  Mcln- 
tyre  requested  that  his  name  be  dropped  from  the  list  of  nominees, 
as  it  would  be  impossible  for  him  to  serve,  and  on  motion,  duly 
seconded,  his  request  was  complied  with. 
Professor  Kraemer,  in  the-  absence  of  the  chairman,  Professor 
Remington,  made  a  verbal  report  for  the  delegates  to  the  meeting 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  in  New  York 
City.  He  stated  that  the  college  was  well  represented,  all  of  the 
Faculty  being  in  attendance  and  many  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and 
other  members.  Pharmaceutical  education  was  largely  discussed, 
as  also  the  relations  of  the  American  Medical  Association  and  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  thus  making  clear  to  the 
medical  fraternity  the  work  of  the  pharmacists.  There  is  also  good 
reason  to  believe  that  some  of  the  problems  now  confronting  the 
two  organizations  will  be  solved  in  a  satisfactory  manner.  Doctor 
Cohen,  in  his  address,  urged  that  recrimination  be  not  indulged  in, 
but  that  the  members  get  together  in  a  spirit  of  harmony,  when, 
he  predicted,  many  of  the  evils  now  complained  of  will  disappear. 
The  remarks  of  Doctor  McCormack  were  along  the  same  lines  and 
had  a  good  effect.  The  subject  of  degrees  came  in  for  a  large  share 
of  the  discussion,  and  it  was  thought  that  in  the  future  the  degree 
of  Doctor  in  Pharmacy  would  be  generally  adopted.  The  papers 
and  discussions  of  the  several  sections  were  to  say  the  least,  up  to 
the  usual  standard  of  merit,  and  the  meeting  as  a  whole  marked  in 
a  definite  way  another  milestone  in  the  progress  of  American  phar- 
macy. 
The  President  appointed  the  following  as  the  Committee  on  Mem- 
bership: C.  B.  Lowe,  M.  I.  Wilbert,  E.  M.  Boring,  James  T.  Shinn 
(since  deceased),  and  C.  A.  Weidemann.
