CONFERENCE. 
In  Memoriam 
Professor  Joseph  Price  Remington. 
The  funeral  of  the  late  Professor  Joseph  Price  Remington  oc- 
curred at  Philadelphia,  Friday,  January  4,  1918,  at  one  o'clock  p.m. 
The  National  Drug  Trade  Conference,  then  in  session  at  Baltimore, 
adjourned  for  two  hours,  out  of  respect  to  the  eminent  deceased; 
and  upon  reconvening  at  three  o'clock  adopted  the  following  reso- 
lutions reported  by  the  committee  named  by  a  standing  vote. 
Whereas,  In  His  wisdom  it  has  pleased  Almighty  God  to  take 
from  our  midst  our  distinguished  and  highly  esteemed  friend  and 
fellow  pharmacist,  Joseph  Price  Remington,  and

the  entire  drug  trade  and  the  many  thousands  of  young  men  who 
have  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  being  his  pupils  have  been  of  unusual

years,  and  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  has  enjoyed 
his  wise  counsel  and  sincere  help  and  support  as  member,  councillor 
and  president,  and 
Whereas,  The  International  Pharmaceutical  Conference  has 
for  many  years  enjoyed  the  advantage  and  benefit  of  his  varied  ex- 
perience and  advice,  and 
Whereas,  All  the  many  interests  and  branches  of  pharmacy  and 
the  drug  trade  have  by  his  demise  suffered  a  great  and  irreparable 
loss,  and  his  many  thousands  of  friends  in  this  country  and  abroad 
have  lost  and  will  sadly  miss  that  ever-present  and  always  encour- 
aging smile  and  pleasant  word  which  was  so  characteristic  of  Pro- 
fessor Remington  and  has  smoothed  over  so  many  rough  and  stony 
spots  in  the  life  and  career  of  his  pupils  and  friends,  and 
Whereas,  It  seems  incredible  and  difficult  to  conceive  that  his
