86      Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  {A™e'bJ°arry  ^[J1, 
Philadelphia,  January  4,  1918. 
At  a  meeting  of  the  faculty  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  held  this  day,  the  following  resolutions  were  unanimously 
adopted : 
Whereas,  Providence  has  seen  fit  to  end  the  earthly  career 
of  one  of  our  number  and  has  taken  from  our  midst  our  beloved 
associate,  Professor  Joseph  P.  Remington,  our  senior  member,  and 
one  endeared  to  us  all  by  years  of  association,  we  would 
Resolve  that  we  hereby  express  our  sense  of  the  loss  which  is 
brought  home  to  us  personally  as  his  associates,  assistants,  and 
colleagues  of  many  years,  during  which  his  friendship,  counsel  and 
kindly  help  were  constantly  at  our  command. 
We  would  also  express  our  sense  of  the  great  loss  which  the 
College  has  suffered  in  the  death  of  one  who  was  not  only  its  most 
distinguished  alumnus,  but  who  stood  for  years  as  a  tower  of 
strength,  as  its  most  eminent  representative  among  the  educational 
forces  of  the  pharmaceutical  profession. 
Not  only  did  he,  as  a  pharmaceutical  author  and  writer,  do 
credit  to  our  institution  throughout  the  world  by  the  international 
reputation  he  developed,  but  he  worked  incessantly  as  official  and 
unofficial  delegate  and  visitor  to  further  the  interests  of  pharma- 
ceutical education  and  advancement,  as  illustrated  in  the  work  of 
our  College. 
We  would  also  call  to  mind  the  sense  of  loss  which  will  be 
felt  by  hundreds  of  his  former  students  to  whom  he  was  not  merely 
a  memory  but  had  continued  a  personal  friend  and  frequent  helper 
and  advisor. 
Resolved  that  we  tender  to  his  family  our  deep  sympathy  in 
their  hour  of  bereavement  and  express  the  hope  that  they  be  com- 
forted by  the  belief  that  he  has  gone  to  his  eternal  reward. 
(Signed)    Samuel  P.  Sadtler,

Committee. 
President  French  then  called  on  various  friends  and  associates 
to  give  expression  to  their  appreciation  of  and  esteem  for  Professor 
Remington,  the  first  being  Professor  Emeritus  Samuel  P.  Sadtler, 
who  has  been  connected  with  the  college  for  many  years  and  asso- 
ciated with  Professor  Remington  in  many  activities.  He  spoke  as
