activities,  his  relations  with  others,  his  leadership  in  pharmaceutical 
endeavor,  which  will  give  us  a  more  unbiased  judgment  of  the  man 
than  personal  expressions  that  may  be  influenced  by  our  deep  sorrow. 
For  half  a  century  Professor  Remington  was  identified  with  the  de- 
velopment of  pharmacy  and  during  many  years  of  this  time,  on 
account  of  his  prominence,  he  was  subject  to  the  most  critical  judg- 
ment of  his  confreres  and  collaborators,  and  he  stood  the  qualify- 
ing test  of  a  competent  leader  and  great  man,  which  speaks  more 
than  an)-  encomium  possibly  could. 
Professor  Remington  was  genial,  most  hospitable,  amiable,  for- 
giving. His  happy  humor,  his  kind  and  loving  sentiments  added 
charm  to  his  wise,  practical  thoughts.  A  great  American  pharma- 
cist has  left  our  ranks ;  we  have  profited  by  his  works  and  endured 
a  loss  by  his  death  which  will  be  more  deeply  recognized  as  time 
passes. 
Dr.  F.  E.  Stewart,  chairman  of  the  committee  appointed  from 
the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion, read  the  resolutions  from  that  body,  as  follows : 
In  Memoriam 
Whereas,  Almighty  God,  in  his  eternal  wisdom,  has  taken 
from  our  midst  our  beloved  brother,  Professor  Joseph  Price  Rem- 
ington, we,  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  Ameri- 
can Pharmaceutical  Association,  express  our  deep  sorrow  at  his  loss. 
Professor  Remington,  whose  death  we  mourn,  was  an  inter- 
national figure  in  the  pharmaceutical  circles  of  the  world;  in  his 
death,  pharmacy  has  lost  its  most  prominent  chieftain.  As  presi- 
dent of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Philadelphia  Branch;  as  president  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Pharmaceutical  Association;  as  chairman  of  many  im- 
portant delegations ;  as  a  member  of  numerous  scientific  bodies  in 
this  country  and  abroad;  as  professor  of  pharmacy  in  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  and  for  many  years  its  dean;  as 
author  of  '  Remington's  Pharmacy,'  a  textbook  wherever  pharmacy 
is  taught  ;  as  chairman  of  the  committee  of  revision  of  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia;  as  joint  author  with  Professors  Sadtler  and 
Wood  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory,  he  occupied  a  position  of 
unique  distinction  and  influence.    Xo  man  left  a  more  helpful  im-
