AFebruaryPih9iT'^  Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  103 
fessor  Remington  and  later  Professor  Sadtler,  the  lecturers  of  the 
evening.  A  few  months  later,  a  prescription  was  brought  to  the 
store  in  which  I  was  employed,  calling  for  an  ointment  of  unknown 
formula,  and  I  was  sent  to  Professor  Remington's  store  at  13th  and 
Walnut  Streets,  for  information  regarding  the  same.  While  walk- 
ing along  13th  Street,  my  attention  was  drawn  to  a  gentleman 
coming  toward  me,  who  I  thought  might  be  Professor  Remington, 
if  he  had  had  a  full  beard.  I  addressed  the  gentleman  and  sure 
enough  it  was  he.  Upon  explaining  my  errand,  he  stated  that  Mr. 
Charles  Frederick  Zeller,  his  assistant,  would  be  pleased  to  give  me 
the  desired  information. 
In  the  fall  of  1881,  I  entered  the  college  and  during  my  student 
career  frequently  consulted  Professor  Remington  at  the  college  and 
at  the  store  and  felt  that  he  always  took  an  interest  in  me.  Since 
graduation,  I  have  continuously  held  some  position  in  the  college, 
but  during  the  past  few  years,  since  my  appointment  as  assistant 
dean,  I  have  been  in  close  touch  with  Professor  Remington,  and 
during  the  many,  many  conferences  which  were  necessary,  not  a 
harsh  or  cross  word  was  uttered.  I  gladly  join  the  other  speakers 
in  paying  tribute  to  one  who  always  upheld  the  interest  of  the 
college. 
After  the  telegrams  given  below,  which  had  been  received  by  the 
College  and  Mrs.  Remington,  were  read,  the  meeting  adjourned,  with 
sad  hearts  and  a  feeling  that  there  was  a  vacancy  in  the  scheme  of 
things  pharmaceutical  that  will  be  felt  for  many  many  years  to  come. 
Telegrams  Received  by  the  College  and  Mrs.  J.  P.  Remington. 
The  Secretary  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy:  The 
President  and  members  of  the  Nova  Scotia  Pharmaceutical  Society 
desire  you  to  convey  their  sympathy  to  Professor  Remington's 
family  and  friends.  We  have  pleasant  recollections  of  the  Pro- 
fessor's visit  to  Halifax  a  few  years  ago,  when  we  learned  to  esteem 
his  personal  qualities  as  highly  as  his  professional.  We  unite  with 
you  in  mourning  his  loss. 
G.  A.  Barbridge,  Secretary. 
President  Hozuard  B.  French:  For  the  American  Conference  of 
Pharmaceutical  Faculties,  I  express  the  sympathy  of  the  colleges  of 
pharmacy  in  the  United  States  to  you  and  the  members  of  the  P.  C.
