While  the  tellers  were  counting  the  ballots  Professor  Remington 
reported  verbally  for  the  delegates  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  meeting  recently  held  at  Detroit,  Michigan.  A  full 
report  of  the  meeting  by  M.  I.  Wilbert  was  published  in  the  Ameri- 
can Journal  of  Pharmacy,  September  number,  pages  464  to  471. 
The  tellers  reported  the  results  of  the  ballot  for  Trustees,  that 
George  M.  Beringer,  Joseph  W.  England,  and  C.  Mahlon  Kline  had 
been  elected  for  three  years,  and  Samuel  C.  Henry  for  one  year, 
whereupon  the  President  declared  the  gentlemen  named  as  duly 
elected. 
The  President  appointed  the  Committee  on  Membership  as  fol- 
lows :  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  O.  W.  Osterlund,  Richard  H.  Lackey, 
with  the  Treasurer  and  Secretary  ex-ofdcio. 
Mr.  Jacob  S.  Beetem  reported  that  Mr.  Frederick  Gutekunst, 
a  graduate  of  the  College,  had  reached  the  age  of  eighty- three  years, 
and  he  would  suggest  that  the  congratulations  of  the  College  be 
tendered  Mr.  Gutekunst.  The  suggestion  was  approved  and  the 
President  appointed  Professor  La  Wall  to  prepare  a  suitable  minute, 
when  the  following  was  presented  and  unanimously  adopted :  "  We, 
the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  semi-annual 
meeting  assembled,  do  hereby  extend  the  congratulations  of  the 
College  to  Mr.  Frederick  Gutekunst  upon  having  successfully 
reached  his  eighty-third  birthday.  We  are  proud  to  feel  that  the 
great  measure  of  his  success  has  been  partly  due  at  least  to  the 
training  which  he  received  many  years  ago  in  our  institution,  and 
we  hope  that  he  may  be  spared  to  add  many  more  laurels  to  his 
wreath  of  achievements." 
It  was  also  voted  that  the  thanks  of  the  College*  be  tendered  Mr. 
Gutekunst  for  the  donation  of  photographs  of  some  of  the  present 
and  past  officers  and  faculty  of  the  College. 
It  was  also  voted  that  the  thanks  of  the  College  be  tendered  Mr. 
George  B.  Evans  for  the  gift  of  a  number  of  bronze  mortars  and 
pestles  and  several  other  ornaments  of  value,  collected  by  him  in 
Europe.

Recording  Secretary.
