from  each  of  the  colleges  and  schools  of  pharmacy  of  this  country,  represented 
by  members  in  this  society,  with  three  members  of  the  Association,  neither  of 
whom  are  teachers  in  any  pharmaceutical  college  or  school.  The  duty  of  said

ceutical education  in  this  country,  make  recommendations  relative  thereto,  arid
