to  express  our  deep  sense  of  the  great  loss  which  has  fallen  upon  us  by  the 
death  of  our  President,  who  has  left  behind  him  an  enduring  record  of  labor 
and  self-sacrifice  in  the  discharge  of  his  various  duties,  whether  as  student, 
graduate,  trustee,  secretary,  vice-president  or  president.  Pharmaceutical 
literature  has  been  enriched  by  his  scientific  researches,  and  the  full  value  of
