Institution. 
The  delegates  to  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association  re- 
ported through  the  chairman,  George  M.  Beringer.  The  44th  annual 
meeting  was  held  at  Hotel  Breslin,  Lake  Hopatcong,  June  16th  to 
19th.  The  absence  of  other  members  of  the  delegation,  owing  to  the 
commencement  exercises  of  the  College  occurring  at  the  same  time, 
was  very  much  regretted.  The  meeting  was  one  of  the  largest 
attended  and  most  interesting  sessions  ever  held.  The  sessions  were 
well  attended,  and  under  the  able  executive  the  business  was  thor- 
oughly yet  expeditiously  considered.  Legislative  matters  were  again 
one  of  the  principal  topics  considered  and  the  incoming  Legislative 
Committee  was  instructed  to  have  the  proposed  new  pharmacy 
law,  with  a  prerequisite  clause,  again  presented  to  the  next 
Legislature,  and  to  use  their  best  endeavors  to  have  this  bill 
enacted.  The  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries  presented  an 
unusually  interesting  report.  About  twenty  papers  were  read  and 
discussed.  A  number  of  these  were  contributions  from  the  members 
of  this  College.  The  subjects  covered  a  wide  range:  commercial, 
educational,  legal,  scientific,  and  practical  pharmaceutical  questions 
were  treated  in  these  papers.  Of  no  less  interest  were  the  discus- 
sions they  provoked.  The  internal  alfairs  and  finances  of  the  Asso- 
ciation were  subjects  for  earnest  consideration.  The  President,  in 
his  annual  address,  advocated  an  increase  in  the  dues  in  order  to 
avoid  a  deficiency.  Mr.  John  C.  Gallagher,  of  Jersey  City,  was 
elected  president,  and  Mr.  G.  M.  Hays  Deemer,  of  Atlantic  City, 
was  elected  vice-president.  The  entertainments  provided  by  the 
Local  Committee  and  Travelling  Men's  Auxiliary  were  good  and 
sufficient  for  the  occasion  without  infracting  upon  the  time  needed 
for  business. 
Professor  Kraemer  presented  the  following  resolution  referring 
to  a  celebration  of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
Alumni  Association : 
"As  the  session  of  1914-15  will  mark  fifty  years  since  the 
Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was 
established,  and  as  the  founders  rendered  yeoman  service  in  the 
development  of  the  educational  facilities  of  the  College,  Resolved, 
That  the  College  recognize  this  interest  in  her  former  students 
and  arrange  for  a  fitting  celebration  to  commemorate  this  mile- 
stone in  the  history  of  the  Association." 
The  reading  of  the  paper  caused  considerable  discussion.  Mr.
