The  Committee  appointed  to  nominate  officers  made  the  fol- 
lowing report,  which  was  accepted. 
The  Committee  to  nominate  officers  for  the  ensuing  year, 
being  embarrassed  by  former  precedents  and  what  may  be  con- 
sidered an  independent  course,  have  deviated  so  far  from  the 
usual  practice  as  to  offer  for  your  suffrages  three  candidates  for 
the  presidency  instead  of  one.  Our  reason  for  so  doing  is  be- 
cause this  is  the  first  instance  of  our  meeting  twice  in  the  same 
city.  By  following  former  precedents  we  should  select  our 
presiding  officer  from  the  place  of  our  meeting,  and  if  this  course 
is  still  pursued  it  is  evident  that  a  president  cannot  be  selected 
from  the  rural  districts.  Although  the  Association  never  has 
and  never  should  sacrifice  merit  to  locality,  yet  the  committee 
deem  the  present  time  a  suitable  one  to  make  a  change  in  the 
mode  of  nomination,  and  would  offer  three  names,  all  well  quali- 
fied ;  one  a  resident^of  Philadelphia,  one  of  a  sister  city,  and  a 
third  from  a  locality  having  no  organized  body  of  pharmaceutists.
