mens  and  illustrative  material  of  every  kind  owned  by  him  and  used 
in  connection  with  his  course  in  theory  and  practice  of  pharmacy  be 
bequeathed  to  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  and  it  is  with  pleasure  that  your 
President  quotes  in  full  a  letter  received  from  Professor  La  Wall  on 
the  13th  of  March,  1918: 
Philadelphia,  Pa., 
March  12,  1918. 
Mr.  Howard  B.  French, 
York  Avenue  and  Callowhill  St., 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 
My  dear  Mr.  French:  As  you  doubtless  know  Professor  Remington  be- 
queathed to  me  all  of  the  apparatus,  specimens  and  illustrative  material  of 
every  kind  owned  by  him  and  used  in  connection  with  his  course  in  the 
Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy. 
I  feel  sure  that  the  proper  ownership  of  all  of  this  material  should  be 
vested  in  the  College  and  I  hereby  transfer  the  entire  collection,  as  received 
by  me  from  Professor  Remington,  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
through  you  as  its  principal  officer. 
This  does  not  include  Professor  Remington's  scientific  library  which 
was  bequeathed  to  Professor  Cook  and  me  jointly  and  which  we  expect  to 
place  in  the  Pharmacy  department  of  the  College  as  a  separate  library  for 
that  Department. 
When  the  time  comes  for  me  to  lay  down  my  duties,  however,  I  shall 
take  care  to  provide  that  my  share  of  this  library,  too,  shall  go  to  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy. 
Very  truly  yours, 
(Signed)    Charles  H.  La  Wall, 
Dean. 
Again  your  President  desires  to  call  attention  to  the  approaching 
centenary  of  your  institution.  Year  after  year  is  passing  by  and 
yet  we  have  no  site  for  new  buildings  but  he  still  hopes  that  the  city 
of  Philadelphia  or  the  Park  Commission  will  be  able  to  arrange  to 
place  your  College  upon  the  Parkway.  He  can  but  regret  that  up 
to  the  present  no  tangible  result  has  been  obtained  by  those  who  have 
worked  to  secure  such  a  site. 
Your  President  wishes  to  extend  his  appreciation  and  heartfelt 
thanks  to  all  those  who  have  so  zealously  cooperated  with  him  during 
the  past  year  in  which  many  trials  and  difficulties  had  to  be  over- 
come, and  he  asks  that  the  same  loyal  support,  cooperation  and  ac- 
tivity will  be  extended  to  your  executive  during  the  coming  year.
