Afebruar  ^igi? "}  Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  79 
pall-bearers.  The  burial  took  place  in  the  Friends'  Burying  Ground 
just  across  Cobb's  Creek,  a  short  distance  south  of  Market  Street. 
No  services  were  held  at  the  grave  but  just  as  the  body  was  being 
lowered  into  its  last  resting  place,  his  son,  Rev.  Wm.  P.  Remington, 
stepped  to  the  head  of  the  grave  and  offered  a  beautiful  prayer. 
The  only  flowers  accompanying  the  body  to  the  grave  were  those 
presented  by  the  Faculty  of  the  College.  All  of  the  others  were  sent 
to  various  hospitals  in  the  city,  to  bring  joy  to  the  sick  and  suffering. 
This  was  in  recognition  of  a  practice  which  he  was  known  to  favor. 
THE  MEMORIAL  MEETING  TO  PROFESSOR 
REMINGTON.1 
A  very  impressive  memorial  meeting  to  Professor  Joseph  Price 
Remington,  dean  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  who 
died  January  I,  1918,  was  held  January  4,  immediately  after  the 
funeral  services,  in  the  library  of  the  college  he  loved  so  well  and 
in  whose  service  he  spent  so  many  years  of  his  life.  The  room  was 
filled  with  the  Philadelphia  friends,  associates  and  former  students 
of  the  dean,  and  a  surprisingly  large  number  of  men  from  other 
cities,  considering  the  weather  and  the  condition  of  the  train  service. 
Men  prominent  in  all  pharmaceutical  activities  paid  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  this  international  figure  in  pharmacy,  either  personally 
or  by  telegram  and  letter.  These  tributes  were  sincere  and  came 
from  the  heart,  as  the  emotion  of  the  speakers  testified. 
The  meeting  was  called  to  order  promptly  at  3  o'clock  by  Presi- 
dent Howard  B.  French,  who  said : 
This  meeting  has  been  called  as  a  memorial  meeting  to  the 
late  Professor  Joseph  Price  Remington.  The  college  held  a  special 
meeting  on  Tuesday,  January  2,  and  adjourned  until  to-day,  so  that 
due  and  proper  honor  could  be  paid  to  the  memory  of  one  of  the 
greatest  pharmacists  that  ever  lived."  He  then  asked  the  secretary 
of  the  college,  Dr.  C.  A.  Weidemann,  to  read  a  letter  received  from 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  chairman  of  the  board  of  trustees,  who 
was  prevented  from  being  present  by  a  broken  ankle,  the  result  of 
an  accident.    Mr.  Beringer's  letter  was  as  follows : 
In  the  midst  of  the  overshadowing  sorrow  at  the  passing  away
