New  York  College  of  Pharmacy. — We  stated  in  our  last  number  that  a 
Committee  of  Conference  had  been  appointed  to  confer  with  the  Board  for 
licensing  druggists,  &c.  Two  members  of  this  committee,  Messrs.  Hegeman 
and  Balluff,  had  an  interview  with  Prof.  Doremus,  the  President  of  the  Licens- 
ing Board,  which,  however,  did  not  lead  to  any  practical  results.  At  the  spe- 
cial meeting  of  the  College  held  Nov.  25th,  a  committee  was  appointed,  con- 
sisting of  Messrs.  Wright,  Peixotto,  Weissmann,  Jr.,  Cassebeer,  and  Rice, 
to  confer  with  a  similar  committee  appointed  by  the  Apothecaries'  Union,  and 
consisting  of  Messrs.  Robbins,  Ramsperger,  BallufF,  Amend,  and  Dr.  Fr.  Hoff- 
mann. This  Conference  Committee  was  joined  by  delegates  from  the  two  Ger- 
man pharmaceutical  societies  of  New  York  and  adjoining  cities,  to  revise  the 
draft  of  a  law  proposed  by  the  Apothecaries'  Union,  to  which  we  alluded  on 
page  479  of  our  last  volume.  This  draft  was  remodelled  by  the  joint  commit- 
tee, and  considered  at  a  special  meeting  of  the  New  York  College  of  Phar- 
macy held  Dec.  19th,  at  which  the  draft  was  amended  so  as  to  empower  this 
College  to  elect  the  Pharmaceutical  Board  oat  of  the  most  competent  phar- 
macists of  the  city  of  New  York,  for  which  city  alone  this  law  is  applicable. 
The  College  appointed  Messrs.  Hegeman,  Balluff  and  Peixotto  a  committee 
to  present  this  draft  to  the  State  Legislature,  at  its  approaching  session,  through 
Senator  Weissmann,  who  is  a  member  of  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy. 
Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy. — We  learn  from  the  "  Richmond  and 
Louisville  Medical  Journal,"  of  December,  that  this  College  has  opened  its 
course  of  lectures,  with  a  class  of  2L  students.
