testifying  to  his  love  and  zeal  in  laboring  for  the  education  and  advancement 
of  the  younger  members  of  our  profession,  can  never  be  fully  realized  by  the 
present  membership  of  this  College. 
"  Resolved,  That  this  College  will  always  hold  in  grateful  remembrance  the 
persistent  labors  of  our  deceased  President,  and  endeavor  to  emulate  his 
example  ;  the  unobtrusive,  consistent,  conscientious  effort  to  fulfil  all  of  his 
duties  will  ever  be  an  incentive  to  his  colleagues,  who  deplore  most  deeply  his 
removal  from  our  midst. 
c  'Resolved,  That  we  tender  to  his  family  our  sincere  sympathy  in  their  sorrow, 
and  that  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  forwarded  to  them,  and  also  be  placed 
permanently  upon  the  records  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  as  a 
memorial  of  the  high  esteem  and  affectionate  regard  in  which  he  was  univer- 
sally held  by  all  of  its  members." 
It  was  ordered  that  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members,  with  Mr.  Beringer 
added  to  it,  prepare  a  memorial  for  publication  in  the  American  Journal  OF 
Pharmacy. 
It  was  also  ordered  that  the  engrossed  resolutions  be  signed  by  the  officers 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  as  well  as  by  the  officers  of  the  College, 
On  motion,  the  meeting  adjourned.

The  Michigan  University  School  of  Pharmacy  is  about  to  adopt  a  new 
plan  for  the  benefit  of  its  classes  in  pharmacognosy.  Several  acres  of  ground 
have  been  secured  for  the  purpose  of  growing  all  medicinal  plants  necessary 
for  class  or  research  work. 
School  of  Pharmacy,  University  of  Kansas. — One  of  the  most  import- 
ant matters  in  connection  with  the  history  of  this  school  is  that  which  relates 
to  the  act  of  the  legislature  of  1899,  which  appropriated  $55,000  for  the  erection 
of  a  new  building  suitable  for  the  purposes  of  chemistry  and  pharmacy.  This 
new  building  has  been  located  on  "Mount  Oread,"  the  location  of  the  Uni- 
versity buildings,  and  within  a  stone's-throw  of  the  natural  history  build- 
ing. The  foundation  rests  upon  solid  rock.  The  money  which  has  been  used 
for  the  structure  has  been  put  mainly  into  walls,  and  such  equipment  as  will 
furnish  each  room,  wherever  desired,  water,  gas,  compressed  air,  exhausts, 
high-pressure  steam,  and  all  of  the  appliances  for  the  latest  equipment  of 
such  buildings.  The  equipment  of  the  rooms  with  lecture  tables,  etc.,  is  an 
added  expense  which  is  to  be  provided  for  outside  the  $55,000.  The  new 
quarters  will  furnish  to  the  pharmacy  school  an  important  addition  to  what  it 
now  has,  namely,  a  room  especially  devoted  to  the  art  of  dispensing,  where 
every  student  will  be  required  to  take  up  this  subject  in  a  practical  way  under 
proper  instruction.  A  special  laboratory  for  pharmacognosy,  in  connection 
with  a  museum  for  the  display  of  crude  drugs,  will  be  another  feature  of  the 
new  building.  In  this  room,  it  is  to  be  hoped,  there  will  be  some  inspiration 
for  original  work  by  advanced  students.
