470  62nd  Annual  Meeting  of  the  A.  P.  A.  { ^jggg-  fgF+ 
A  resolution  designed  to  develop  the  production  of  botanical 
drugs  in  the  United  States ;  and 
A  resolution  commending  the  present  scope  of  the  Hygienic  Labo- 
ratory Bulletins  embodying  a  Digest  of  Comments  on  the  Pharma- 
copoeia of  the  United  States  of  America  and  on  the  National  For- 
mulary, and  asking  that,  if  practicable,  these  bulletins  be  published 
more  promptly. 
Following  the  usual  vote  of  thanks  to  the  local  committees,  and  a 
special  vote  for  the  local  secretary,  the  officers  for  the  ensuing  year 
were  installed  and  the  62nd  annual  meeting  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  was  declared  adjourned. 
Any  account  of  this  meeting  without  some  reference  to  the 
elaborately  planned  and  carefully  carried  out  social  features  would 
be  incomplete  at  best.  The  local  secretary  and  his  efficient  assistants 
had  for  the  nonce  devised  a  program  in  which  the  social  features  did 
not  conflict  with  the  business  meetings  of  the  Association  or  any  of 
its  sections,  and,  despite  the  very  liberal  duplication  of  section  ses- 
sions during  the  day,  the  evenings  were  free  to  all  but  Council  mem- 
bers and  delegates,  to  enjoy  as  they  saw  fit. 
The  program  as  arranged  served  not  alone  to  provide  large  and 
interested  audiences  at  all  of  the  sessions  of  the  Association,  but 
also  insured  ample  time  to  permit  members  of  the  Association  to 
take  part  in  the  several  outings  and  informal  gatherings  that  had 
been  provided. 
The  supper  and  smoker  on  Wednesday  evening  and  the  river 
excursion  on  Thursday  afternoon  were  attended  by  upwards  of  1000 
members  and  friends,  and  will  long  be  remembered  as  being  among 
the  most  unique  of  the  functions  heldi  in  connection  with  meetings  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 
The  graduates  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  present 
at  the  meeting  were  entertained  at  luncheon  on  Wednesday  at  noon 
by  Frank  G.  Ryan,  a  graduate  and  for  some  years  one  of  the  assistant 
professors  of  the  college.  A  total  of  53  graduates,  representing  21 
States,  was  present,  and  the  occasion  offered  an  unusual  opportunity 
to  make  and  to  renew  acquaintances  among  graduates  of  the  college. 
The  officers  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  the 
coming  year  are :  Honorary  president,  G.  H.  Schaefer,  Fort  Madi- 
son, Iowa ;  president,  Caswell  A.  Mayo,  New  York ;  vice-presidents, 
L.  D.  Havenhill,  Lawrence,  Kan.,  C.  H.  Packard,  Boston,  Mass., 
Chas.  Gietner,  St.  Louis,  Mo. ;  permanent  secretary,  W.  B.  Day,
