New  York  ColleOxE  of  Pharmacy. — At  a  regular  meeting  of  the  trustees  of 
this  College,  held  March  5th,  1874,  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions  were 
unanimously  adopted  : 
Whereas,  It  has  pleased  Almighty  God,  in  his  infinite  wisdom,  to  remove 
from  this  transitory  existence  our  friend  Prof.  Wm.  Procter,  Jr.,  and,  whilst 
mingling  our  sympathy  with  that  of  his  bereaved  family,  let  us  not  be  unmind- 
ful that  -'in  the  midst  of  life  we  are  in  death,"  and,  although  possessed  of  all 
the  enjoyments  and  comforts  of  this  world,  how  short  the  time  we  may  be  per- 
mitted to  partake  of  them. 
Our  deceased  friend  was  in  the  prime  of  life,  enjoying  the  success  of  his 
varied  labors  in  the  cause  of  science  and  pharmacy,  happy  and  contented,  ever 
ready  and  willing  to  diffuse  his  knowledge  to  others  ;  his  amiability,  modesty 
and  spotless  integrity,  united  to  a  cheerful  temperament,  endeared  him  to  all 
who  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  knowing  him. 
Alas!  in  the  vigor  of  manhood,  and  from  off  a  career  of  usefulness  to  his 
fellow-beings,  he  was  taken  away,  after  a  brief  illness,  and  his  spirit  returned 
to  the  God  who  gave  it,  but  his  memory  will  ever  remain  among  his  professional 
brethren  as  one  who  ranked  foremost  amongst  those  who  labored  for  the 
advancement  of  their  profession.    Be  it  therefore 
Resolved,  That  this  College  deeply  deplore  the  loss  they  have  sustained  by 
the  death  of  Wm.  Procter,  Jr. 
Resolved,  That  this  College  tender  to  the  bereaved  widow  and  immediate 
relatives  their  sincere  condolence  in  their  affliction. 
Resolved,  That  a  page  in  our  record  book  be  dedicated  to  his  memory  with 
his  name  thereon  inscribed. 
Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions,  duly  signed  by  the  President  and 
Secretary,  be  forwarded  to  the  widow  of  our  deceased  friend,  and  the  same  be 
published  in  the  '•Journal  of  Pharmacy"  aud  "Druggists'  Circular."

were  elected  :  Paul  Balluff.  President;  Wm.  Neergaard,  Bernard  H.  Reinold
