RESOLUTIONS. 
Having  been  called  to  mourn  the  loss  by  death  of  our  beloved  fellow  mem- 
ber, Professor  William  Procter,  Jr.,  we  desire  to  express  our  deep  sorrow 
and  bear  testimony  to  the  high  attainments  and  commanding  worth  of  the  de- 
ceased. 
"Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  Professor  Procter,  we  feel  this  College  has 
sustained  a  loss  deeply  to  be  deplored,  the  School  of  Pharmacy  an  able  in- 
structor, and  our  profession  one  of  the  most  ardent  and  distinguished  exponents 
of  that  science  he  so  ably  illustrated,  and  to  which  he  devoted  his  life. 
"  Resolved,  That  we  will  ever  cherish  the  memory  of  his  bright  example,  his 
excellence  of  character  in  all  the  relations  of  life,  his  perfect  integrity,  sincerity 
and  lofty  purpose,  his  conscientious  devotion  to  duty,  and  his  faithfulness  as  a 
friend. 
"  Resolved,  That  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members  be  instructed  to  pre- 
pare a  memoir  of  Professor  Procter  for  publication,  that  the  history  of  his  use- 
ful life,  example  aud  eminent  services  may  be  preserved  and  placed  among  the 
records  of  our  College. 
"  Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  transmitted  to  the  family  of 
the  deceased,  with  the  assurance  of  our  heartfelt  sympathy  in  this  time  of  their 
great  and  sudden  bereavement."

The  reading  of  these  papers  was  listened  to  with  profound  attention,  caus-» 
ing  a  deep  feeling  of  sorrow  and  sympathy  to  pervade  the  meeting,  which  was 
heightened  by  the  solemnity  of  silence.  A  general  feeling  of  sadness  rested  on 
all  as  the  fact  manifested  itself  that  henceforth  memory  must  be  the  only  link 
between  us  and  our  ever-faithful  and  honored  colleague. 
Charles  Ellis  bore  testimony  to  his  worth  and  excellence  of  character,  in  a 
few  appropriate  remarks,  and  moved  that  the  resolutions  be  signed  by  the  offi- 
cers of  the  College,  and  published  in  the  daily  papers  ;  and  also  that  a  copy  of 
them  be  engrossed,  and  sent  by  the  Committee  who  prepared  them  to  the 
family  of  the  deceased. 
Charles  Bullock  moved  that  a  copy  of  the  resolutions  be  sent  by  the  Corres- 
ponding Secretary  to  the  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  and  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tions in  the  United  States.    These  resolutions  were  both  adopted. 
A  letter  was  received  and  read  from  Joseph  L.  Lemberger,  of  Lebanon,  Pa., 
regretting  bis  inability  to  attend  the  meeting,  and  expressive  of  his  sympathy 
in  our  great  bereavement. 
Professor  Maisch  suggested  that  it  would  be  necessary  to  elect  some  one  to 
fill  the  office  of  1st  Vice  President,  now  vacant,  until  the  annual  election  in 
March  next,  in  order  that  all  the  signatures  of  the  officers  may  be  affixed  to 
i,he  diplomas  of  the  College  soon  to  be  issued  to  the  graduates. 
On  motion  of  Charles  Bullock,  the  President  of  the  College  was  directed  to 
-cast  a  ballot  for  Peter  Williamson  as  1st  Yice-President,  which,  being  done, 
Mr.  Wihiamson  was  declared  unanimously  elected  to  that  office  until  the  an_ 
*nual  meeting  in  March  next. 
On  motion,  then  adjourned.  William  J.  Jenks,  Secretary.
