July,  1917. 
It  is  as  if  the  Master  Pharmacist  had  emptied  a  vial  of  sorrow 
into  the  graduate  of  their  lives. 
Dr.  Schlotterbeck  possessed  faith  and  vision — the  work  which  he 
accomplished  will  live  long  years  after  dust  has  returned  to  dust. 
Ability,  loyalty,  faith  and  vision,  these  were  the  outstanding 
traits  of  his  character.  These  he  defined  in  his  daily  work,  he  lived 
them  and  inspired  others  to  live  them.  Through  his  loyalty,  vision 
and  ability  he  made  better  men  and  women  and  better  pharmacists 
by  his  faith  in  man  and  in  pharmacy. 
The  work  of  Dr.  Schlotterbeck  is  bequeathed  as  a  rich  heritage 
to  those  wherever  they  may  be,  who  have  worked  with  him  and 
learned  to  know  and  therefore  to  admire  him. 
PHARMACEUTICAL  MILITARY  ASSOCIATION 
ORGANIZED.  . 
The  first  step  in  what  promises  to  be  the  most  active  campaign 
yet  undertaken  for  obtaining  recognition  for  pharmacists  in  the 
Army  and  other  branches  of  the  government  service  was  taken  at  a 
meeting  of  the  allied  pharmaceutical  bodies  of  Philadelphia  held  at 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  Monday  evening,  June  26th, 
1917.  A  permanent  organization  was  formed  with  Mr.  George  M. 
Beringer  president,  and  Robert  P.  Fischelis  secretary-treasurer. 
The  Association  will  be  known  as  the  Pharmaceutical  Military  Asso- 
ciation. An  Executive  Committee  consisting  of  the  following  mem- 
bers of  the  various  associations  represented  was  appointed  by  the 
president :  J.  W.  England  and  Walter  B.  Smith  of  the  Philadelphia 
Drug  Exchange;  Ambrose  Hunsberger  and  Eugene  G.  Eberle  of 
the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion ;  Samuel  C.  Henry  and  J.  C.  Peacock  of  the  Philadelphia  Asso- 
ciation of  Retail  Druggists,  Henry  Kraemer  and  Robert  P.  Fischelis 
of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy ;  Dr.  W.  D.  Robinson  and 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  ex  officio.  This  committee  is  to  co- 
operate with  the  Committee  on  War  Defense  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  consisting  of  Dr.  F.  E.  Stewart,  chair- 
man, Professor  J.  A.  Koch,  Louis  Frank,  J.  W.  England  and  John 
K.  Thum.  Future  meetings  of  the  association  will  be  held  at  regular 
intervals  and  immediate  steps  will  be  taken  to  get  in  touch  with  the 
proper  government  authorities  to  further  the  objects  of  the  asso- 
ciation.
