death  of  our  late  fellow-member,  Dr.  Robert  P.  Thomas,  Professor  of 
Materia  Medica  in  the  School  of  Pharmacy  ;  therefore, 
Resolved,  That  the  connection  of  Dr.  Thomas  with  this  College  has 
been  such  as  to  secure  the  esteem  and  regard  of  all  connected  with  it. 
His  loss  will  be  especially  felt  by  the  numerous  graduates  and  students 
of  the  School,  who,  while  profiting  by  his  instructions,  have  learned  to 
respect  and  esteem  him.  By  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and 
of  the  College  at  large,  he  will  be  lamented  as  a  talented  and  warm- 
hearted associate,  cut  off  in  the  midst  of  a  career  of  usefulness  and 
promise. 
Resolved,  That  the  members  of  the  College  will  attend  his  funeral  at 
the  time  and  place  appointed ;  that  the  appropriate  Committee  be 
directed  to  prepare  a  suitable  memorial  of  Dr.  Thomas,  to  be  read  at  the 
approaching  Annual  Meeting,  and  published  in  the  Journal,  and  that  a 
copy  of  these  Resolutions  be  furnished  his  family,  with  an  expression  of 
our  sympathy  for  them  in  their  bereavement, 
On  motion,  the  College  adjourned.
