I  am  directed  by  the  committee  to  express  to  you  their  appre- 
ciation for  such  assistance  as  you  can  give  us  in  this  connection. 
Very  truly  yours, 
E.  F.  Kelly. 
The  Charles  Caspari,  Jr.,  Memorial  Committee. 
Baltimore,  Md.,  November  15,  191 7. 
At  a  meeting  in  memory  of  the  late  Prof.  Charles  Caspari,  Jr., 
held  at  the  University  of  Maryland  on  October  23,  several  sug- 
gestions were  offered  that  some  permanent  memorial  of  his  life  be 
established.  Following  these  suggestions,  Dr.  J.  F.  Hancock,  chair- 
man, asked  the  officers  and  those  gentlemen  who  at  the  meeting 
represented  the  College  of  Pharmacy  and  the  manufacturing,  whole- 
sale and  retail  pharmacists,  to  act  as  a  committee  to  consider  these 
suggestions  and  suggest  some  suitable  plan  of  action.  The  com- 
mittee on  November  8  organized  and  elected  Dr.  J.  F.  Hancock 
chairman  and  E.  F.  Kelly  secretary-treasurer.  After  careful  con- 
sideration and  general  discussion  of  the  matter,  the  committee  has 
decided  to  ask  contributions  from  former  students,  friends  and  ad- 
mirers, to  provide  an  oil  portrait  of  Prof.  Caspari,  to  be  hung  on 
the  walls  of  the  department  of  pharmacy,  University  of  Maryland, 
and  a  scholarship,  or  scholarships,  for  senior  students  in  the  depart- 
ment of  pharmacy,  to  be  awarded  annually  by  the  faculty  of  phar- 
macy, and  to  be  known  as  The  Charles  Caspari,  Jr.,  Scholarship, 
or  Scholarships. 
The  fund  collected,  after  the  cost  of  the  portrait  and  necessary 
expenses  are  deducted,  will  be  invested  in  stable,  interest-bearing 
securities,  preferably  government  bonds,  and  these  will  be  trusteed 
to  the  faculty  of  pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Maryland,  the  in- 
terest only  to  be  used  in  providing  the  scholarship,  or  scholarships, 
which  are  to  cover  the  annual  tuition  fee  only. 
It  is  confidently  believed  by  the  committee  that  a  memorial  of 
such  practical  value  would  have  most  appealed  to  him  whom  we 
honor,  and  who  gave  his  best  efforts  to  the  instruction  of  students. 
It  is  impossible  to  address  personally  all  who  may  wish  to  take  part 
in  this  memorial,  but  the  committee  will  give  the  movement  the 
widest  publicity  and  hope  that  all  who  may  desire  to  do  so  will  con- 
sider themselves  invited  to  contribute  to  the  fund. 
It  is  requested  that  all  contributions  be  made  payable  to  E.  F
