of  the  institution.  The  memorial  meeting  held  in  this  room  on 
January  4,  1918,  was  a  most  notable  occasion,  and  seldom,  if  ever, 
has  it  been  the  privilege  of  your  President  to  have  heard  such 
eulogistic  comments  made  regarding  the  results  of  a  most  useful 
life's  work.  He  truly  has  left  a  name  in  the  pharmaceutical  and 
scientific  world  at  large  which  places  him  in  the  list  of  those  world- 
renowned  pharmacists  who  have  passed  beyond — Proctor,  Parrish 
and  Maisch. 
Professor  Remington  left  a  legacy  to  the  College — not  only  a 
legacy  of  fame  which  he  himself  had  built  up,  but  a  material  legacy 
for  which  he  provided  in  the  eighth  item  of  his  will,  which  reads 
as  follows: 
I  give  and  bequeath  unto  The  Provident  Life  and  Trust  Company  of 
Philadelphia,  and  my  son  Joseph  Percy  Remington,  their  Heirs,  Executors, 
Administrators,  Successors  and  Assigns,  Ten  Thousand  Dollars,  In  Trust, 
nevertheless,  to  invest,  re-invest  and  keep  the  same  invested,  under  the 
powers  and  authorities  by  this  my  Will  upon  my  Trustees  conferred,  and  to 
collect  and  receive  the  income,  issues,  dividends  and  profits  thereof,  and 
after  paying  out  of  said  income  all  lawful  costs,  charges,  taxes,  commissions 
and  expenses  incident  to  the  care  and  management  of  said  Trust,  then  to 
pay  over  said  net  income,  half-yearly,  beginning  with  and  disbursing  the 
same  from  the  time  of  my  decease,  unto  the  Treasurer  for  the  time  being  of 
said  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  for  application  by  said  College  in 
assistance  of  worthy  and  deserving  students  at  said  College,  in  payment  of 
their  tuition  fees.  Said  College  shall,  in  the  exercise  of  its  sole  and  unre- 
stricted judgment,  choose  the  students  who  may  be  worthy  and  deserving 
of  such  assistance,  and  said  Trustees  are  hereby  exonerated  and  released 
from  any  responsibility  to  see  to  the  application  of  the  income  from  said 
Trust  after  said  Trustees  shall  have  paid  the  same  to  the  person  who  may 
be  for  the  time  being  Treasurer  of  said  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
If  said  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  should  cease  to  exist  as  an  inde- 
pendent and  separately  conducted  College  for  the  instruction  of  students  in 
the  art  and  practice  of  Pharmacy,  then  and  in  such  case  said  Trust  for  the 
use  and  benefit  of  said  College  shall  cease  and  determine,  and  the  money, 
investments  and  securities  which  may  then  comprise  the  capital  or  principal 
of  said  Trust,  shall  be  distributed  among  the  persons  who  would  have  been 
entitled  to  take  and  receive  the  same  under  the  Intestate  Laws  of  Pennsyl- 
vania if  I  had  died  possessed  thereof  at  the  time  of  the  cessation  of  said 
Trust  as  aforesaid." 
We  have  all  lost  an  active  associate  and  friend  and  it  now 
becomes  our  duty  to  strive  to  live  up  to  and  maintain  the  standard 
which  he  had  attained. 
A  further  clause  in  his  will  provides  that  his  apparatus,  speci-
