graduates  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  of  the  de- 
partment of  pharmacy  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  to  unite 
with  the  college  and  participate  in  its  transactions,  when,  on  motion, 
it  was  voted  that  the  matter  be  referred  to  the  committee  on  mem- 
bership. 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer  donated  to  the  college  an  opium  pipe. 
The  thanks  of  the  college  were  tendered  the  donor. 
Professor  Kraemer  on  behalf  of  Mr.  George  L.  Carnan  of  the 
class  of  1885  presented  a  very  old  lignum  vitse  mortar.  The  thanks 
of  the  college  was  tendered  the  donor. 
Professor  Kraemer  on  behalf  of  Mr.  Henry  C.  Blair  presented 
a  large  reproduction  of  the  historic  drug  store  at  800  Walnut 
street.  The  painting  was  made  in  1835  before  the  days  of  photog- 
raphy. In  a  descriptive  letter  accompanying  the  picture  it  is  stated 
the  building  was  erected  in  181 2  and  with  the  exception  of  a  change 
in  the  bulk  windows  the  building  is  practically  the  same  now  as  it 
was  when  first  built.  The  outside  sign  of  "  Pharmaceutist "  is 
believed  to  be  the  first  of  its  kind  in  this  country.  There  were  also 
presented  on  behalf  of  Mr.  Blair  the  matriculation  tickets  of  three 
generations  of  Blairs.  These  interesting  historic  relics  were  ac- 
cepted and  the  thanks  of  the  college  tendered  our  fellow  member, 
Mr.  H.  C.  Blair.
