a  good  deal  to  say.  He  recommended  that  after  1905  no  candidate 
be  examined  for  board  license  who  was  not  a  graduate  of  a  college 
of  pharmacy.  He  estimated  that  95  per  cent,  of  physicians  supplied 
90  per  cent,  of  their  patients  with  medicines.  This  should  not  be 
so.  It  was  the  natural  right  of  pharmacists  to  supply  medicines  and 
this  right  should  be  guaranteed  by  law. 
The  President  recognized  in  travelling  men  a  means  of  extend- 
ing the  membership  of  the  Association.  He  suggested  that  in 
each  town  where  there  were  five  or  more  members,  one  of  that 
number  be  appointed  a  collector  of  dues,  and  have  an  allowance 
of  10  per  cent,  for  his  trouble. 
He  recommended  that  the  proceedings  be  made  less  elaborate 
and  that  the  expense  of  publishing  them  be  paid  by  the  Board  of 
Pharmacy. 
It  was  a  violation  of  the  constitution  for  the  time  and  place  of 
meeting  to  be  selected  by  anybody  other  than  the  Association  itself, 
and  Mr.  Muench  recommended  that  in  future  the  Association  fix  its 
own  time  and  place  of  meeting. 
The  Secretary  is  an  ex-officio  member  of  the  Executive  Committee, 
and  had  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  such,  but  the  President 
recommended  that  as  four  members  might  be  equally  divided  on  a 
question,  the  constitution  be  amended  so  as  to  state  that  the  Secretary 
shall  not  have  a  vote  as  a  member  of  the  Committee. 
In  his  peroration  President  Muench  urged  all  the  members  to 
stand  shoulder  to  shoulder  and  work  unselfishly  for  the  upbuild- 
ing of  pharmacy. 
The  Committee  on  President's  Address  approved  of  the  Presi- 
dent's recommendations  and  remarks  relative  to  the  N.A.R.D., 
stamp  tax,  All-State  Pharmacy  Law,  work  of  the  old  board,  and 
that  the  President  and  Secretary  be  ex-officio  members  of  the 
Executive  Committee.  The  President's  suggestion  in  the  diploma 
prerequisite  matter  was  also  approved,  save  that  the  time  when  this 
should  become  operative  should  be  made  1903  instead  of  1905. 
The  proposition  that  the  newly-created  State  Board  of  Pharmacy 
pay  for  printing  the  proceedings  of  the  Association  was  not 
favored. 
Mr.  Smither  offered  a  resolution  providing  that  the  new  Legis- 
lative Committee  shall  prepare  for  presentation  at  the  next  annual 
meeting  the  draft  of  a  bill  which  shall  include  the  diploma  pre-
