AFebruary  ^ig  is'  }  Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  93 
in  being  able,  in  1913,  to  spend  seven  weeks  with  him  when  we  were 
together  as  delegates  to  the  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress 
from  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  I  then  learned 
to  know  him  as  I  never  would  have  learned  to  know  him  in  any 
other  way.  I  felt  very  much  pleased  to  think  that  he  liked  me  and 
liked  to  have  me  with  him;  that  was  what  he  told  me.  I  feel  very 
proud  of  that.  I  have  simply  come  to  pay  tribute  to  his  memory 
and  to  mourn  with  you  your  loss. 
Mr.  J.  L.  Lemberger,  Lebanon,  vice-president  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy: 
I  have  had  in  my  heart  the  last  few  days  a  feeling  of  the 
greatest  sadness  of  my  life,  the  parting  with  my  dear  friend,  Pro- 
fessor Remington.  We  had  known  each  other  intimately  for 
perhaps  thirty  years  or  more.  We  were  as  intimate  as  two  brothers 
almost.  I  had  his  confidence  in  many  things ;  he  had  my  confidence 
in  many  things.  There  was  but  one  side  to  Professor  Remington — 
he  was  all  around  right.  He  was  moved  to  do  right  by  a  con- 
scientious desire  to  do  so.  Can  I  say  anything  better  of  our  de- 
parted friend?  I  knew  him  well  enough  to  know  that  it  was  a 
principle  of  his  life. 
In  the  many  things  we  had  in  common,  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  this 
dear  old  college,  our  alma  mater,  when  we  came  to  sift  down  to 
what  we  would  call  the  bottom  facts  of  the  thing  (his  name  is 
Joseph  and  my  name  is  Joseph;  we  knew  each  other  as  'Joe'),  our 
conclusion  always  was,  '  Joe,  we  must  do  right  in  this  matter.'  Can 
we  have  a  pleasanter  memory  of  a  good  man  than  to  think  of  him 
as  having  been  conscientious  in  all  matters  of  life,  moved  by  a  desire 
to  do  right? 
"  I  went  out  to  the  cemetery  and  looked  into  the  open  grave  and 
said  1  Farewell ' ;  not  good-bye  forever,  but '  Farewell.'  The  memory 
of  his  life  will  come  to  me  every  time  I  enter  this  college  and  every 
time  I  go  to  an  association  meeting,  and  we  shall  think  of  Reming- 
ton; what  a  great  delight  it  will  be  to  have  such  a  memory  of  a 
friend.  He  lived  a  good  life,  a  useful  life,  and  he  had  a  joyous 
disposition,  a  magnetic  disposition.  He  filled  the  room  with  his 
presence,  whether  in  the  college  or  in  the  circle  of  that  dear  home 
of  his.    His  end  came  peacefully  indeed,  very  peacefully.    His  end
