AFebma?y.P?9a^' }      Letter  from  John  Uri  Lloyd.  75 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  Philadelphia,  but  feels  that  he  is  a  close 
friend  of  sympathetic  Professor  Remington.  It  has  been  my  privi- 
lege to  meet  many  hundreds  of  these  graduates  of  that  long-estab- 
lished institution,  and  never,  so  far  as  I  can  recall,  did  a  discussion 
connected  with  pharmacy  occur  but  that  the  name  of  Professor 
Remington  came  in  as  that  of  one  of  whom  the  speaker  knew  per- 
sonally. This,  I  will  say,  is  literally  true,  because  every  member 
of  the  class  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  for  decades 
has  been  to  Professor  Remington  a  personal  charge,  and  Remington 
being  in  the  department  of  pharmacy  is  naturally  very  close  to  any 
student  whose  life  work  is  to  be  pharmacy. 
But  what  of  other  companions?  To  my  mind's  eye  they  arise, 
everywhere. 
Wherever  there  was  to  be  an  event  in  pharmacy  that  would 
bring  together  men  imbued  with  the  cause  of  pharmacy,  Remington 
was  sure  to  be  present,  and  not  alone  was  he  present,  but  actively 
so.  A  leader  among  them  all  was  he.  If  an  address  was  to  be 
made,  Remington  was  the  one  selected  for  the  purpose,  in  whatever 
direction  it  may  have  been  necessary.  And,  Remington  never  failed. 
At  alumni  meetings  and  college  reunions  held  by  pharmaceutical 
organizations  Remington  was  considered  one  of  the  members,  as 
much  so  as  though  his  college  course  had  been  in  their  college.  Be 
it  known,  to  Professor  Remington  the  cause  of  pharmacy  was 
cosmopolitan,  and  he  considered  himself  to  be  concerned  in  every 
phase  of  pharmaceutical  effort.  Whoever  was  teaching,  whoever 
was  studying,  whoever  was  contributing  in  any  direction,  and  from 
any  direction,  was  in  his  circle. 
Perhaps  the  most  enjoyable  of  all  occasions  at  the  various  meet- 
ings of  pharmaceutical  associations  that  it  came  my  privilege  to 
attend  were  those  of  the  alumni  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  and  in  these  always  Professor  Remington  was  not  only 
an  integral  part,  but  a  cherished  guest;  a  representative  of  the 
world-at-large,  as  well  as  of  the  college  to  which  he  devoted  his 
special  time. 
And  not  alone  with  those  concerned  in  manipulative  pharmacy 
such  as  becomes  the  charge  of  the  apothecary,  but  of  men  engaged 
in  pharmaceutical  activities  on  a  very  large  scale,  such  as  came  into 
the  field  with  the  entrance  of  the  factory  manufacturer,  "  the  manu-
