Philadelphia,  Ninth  mo.  24,  1877.  Chairman  of  Committee. 
The  members  of  the  committee  were  all  present,  and  accepted  the  trust  confided 
to  them. 
Professor  Remington  moved  that  the  name  of  Charles  Bullock,  be  added  to  the 
committee,  which,  meeting  with  the  approval  of  the  meeting,  he  was  unanimously- 
appointed  to  the  service. 
In  the  absence  of  Dr.  Pile,  Dr.  A.  W.  Miller,  on  behalf  of  the  delegates  to  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  which  met  in  Toronto,  in  September  last, 
made  the  following  report : 
To  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
The  delegates  appointed  to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  at 
Toronto,  Ontario,  respectfnlly  report  that  they  were  present  on  that  occasion,  and  participated  in  the 
interesting  discussions.  The  sessions  were  held  in  the  City  Council  Chamber  of  Toronto  at  the  appointed 
time,  this  being  the  first  occasion  on  which  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  stepped 
beyond  the  boundaries  of  the  United  States.  There  was  even  more  than  the  ordinary  degree  of  interest 
attached  to  the  meeting. 
We  can  all  bear  testimony  to  the  generous  hospitality  and  uniform  courtesy  of  our  Canadian  mem- 
bers and  friends.  We  were  invited  to  and  shown  through  the  Toronto  University,  which  is  said  to  be  the 
finest  specimen  of  Norman  Gothic  architecture  on  this  continent.  A  very  enjoyable  conversazione  was 
also  provided  for  the  visitors  and  their  ladies  at  the  rooms  of  the  Educational  Department,  during  which 
choice  songs  were  interspersed  with  impromptu  addresses,  with  the  inspection  of  the  rich  storehouses 
of  the  appliances  for  teaching,  and  with  the  partaking  of  refreshments.  In  accordance  with  good  old 
English  custom,  we  united,  at  the  conclusion,  in  hearty  cheers  "  for  a  most  estimable  lady,  Queen 
Victoria."  The  ceremonies  were  efficiently  conducted  by  William  Elliot,  President  of  the  Ontario 
College  of  Pharmacy. 
A  majority  of  the  members  visited  many  places  of  interest  on  the  journey  to  Toronto,  as  well  as  on  the 
return  trip,  embracing  Watkins'  and  Havana  Glens,  Rochester,  Niagara  Falls,  Montreal,  Quebec,  Lake 
George,  Saratoga  and  Albany.  The  journeys  over  Lake  Ontario  will  be  memorable  events  with  most  of 
our  companions,  on  account  of  the  peculiar  associations  connected  therewith. 
The  meetings  were  graced  by  the  presence  of  several  of  our  elder  and  most  highly  esteemed  mem- 
bers, among  them  Dr.  Squibb,  Prof.  Israel,  J.  Grahame  and  others.  There  was  a  very  fair  attendance 
throughout,  though  there  were,  perhaps,  not  as  many  new  members  elected  from  the  immediate  vicinity 
of  the  place  of  meeting  as  usual.  Quite  a  number  of  interesting  and  valuable  papers  were  read  and 
discussed  during  the  various  sessions. 
The  following  new  officers  were  elected  to  serve  during  the  ensuing  year:  William  Saunders,  of 
London,  Ontario,  as  President;  Ewen  Mclntyre,  of  New  York,  as  First  Vice  President;  John  Ingalls, 
of  Macon,  Ga  ,  as  Second  Vice  President.  Aflanta,  Georgia,  was  chosen  as  the  locality  for  the  next 
annual  meeting. 
In  conclusion,  we  are  grieved  to  report  the  very  sad  misfortune  which  befel  our  honored  Chairman, 
Dr.  Wilson  H.  Pile  After  having  actively  participated  in  the  session  on  Thursday  afternoon,  he  was 
suddenly  affected  by  hemiplegia,  shortly  after  midnight,  the  paralysis  extending  to  the  entire  left  side  of 
his  body.  At  the  latest  accounts  he  is  very  slowly  improving,  so  that  he  will  probably  soon  be  able  to 
endure  the  fatigues  of  the  homeward  journey.  Respectfully  submitted, 
ADOLPH  W.  MILLER, 
September  24th,  1877.  on  behalf  of  the  delegates 
Prof.  Maisch,  Chairman  of  the  delegation  to  attend  the  conference  of  the  various 
Schools  of  Pharmacy,  held  at  the  some  time  and  place,  made  the  following  report:
