Whereas,  The  loss  of  his  valuable  services  for  the  advancement  of  pharma- 
ceutical knowledge  will  be  felt  and  lamented  throughout  the  whole  land  ;  be  it 
therefore 
Resolved,  That  the  members  of  the  Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy  deeply 
mourn  the  loss  of  one  who  stood  highest  and  foremost  in  his  profession  as 
pharmacist,  instructor  and  journalist,  ever  faithful,  thorough  and  persevering 
in  the  cause  which  he  represented. 
Resolved,  That  we  tender  to  his  bereaved  family  our  deepest  sympathy  and 
condolence  in  this  their  hour  of  sorrow;  but,  while  we  lament  with  them  the 
irreparable  loss,  we  know  that  his  name  and  his  deeds  of  merit  will  live  after 
him  among  us. 
Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  spread  on  the  journal  of  our  College,  and 
a  copy  of  the  same  be  forwarded  by  the  Corresponding  Secretary,  to  the  family 
of  the  deceased,  and  also  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  with  the 
request  of  its  publication  in  the  next  number  of  the  ''Americau  Journal  of 
Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  — At  the  commencement,  held  March  10th,. 
the  President  conferred  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  upon  the  follow- 
ing gentlemen:  Chas.  M.  Ford  (lacto-phosphates),  Littleton  Thompson  (dilute 
phosphoric  acid),  L.  C.  Hogan  (pink  root),  and  E.  L.  Stahl,  Jr.  (wild  cherry)] 
The  valedictory  address  was  delivered  by  Professor  D.  B.  Trimble. 
At  the  special  meeting  held  February  19th,  1874,  the  President,  Mr.  Thos. 
Whitfield,  in  a  few  feelin£  remarks,  announced  the  death  of  Professor  William 
Procter,  Jr.  On  motion,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  draft  resolutions  expres- 
sive of  the  sentiments  of  the  College.  Messrs.  Sargent,  Ebert  and  Trimble 
were  appointed,  and  subsequently  reported  as  follows  : 
Whereas,  The  members  of  this  College  have  learned,  with  profound  sorrow, 
that  Professor  William  Procter,  Jr.,  departed  this  life  on  the  10th  instant, 
and 
Whereas,  We,  in  common  with  all  pharmacists,  mourn  the  loss  of  our  friend, 
who  has  so  long  maintained  the  honorable  and  well-deserved  title  of  the 
"  Father  of  American  Pharmacy,"  and  who  has  in  a  busy  and  eminently  useful 
life  done  so  much  to  enrich  the  profession  in  its  literature  and  in  its  practice  \ 
it  is  therefore 
Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  Prof.  Procter  a  material  loss  has  been  sus- 
tained, and  the  cause  of  education  loses  one  of  its  most  experienced  and  ablest 
champions. 
1  hat  we  deplore  the  loss  of  so  valuable  a  life  and  example  to  our  sister  in- 
stil ution  and  to  the  whole  pharmaceutical  body. 
That  we  respectfully  offer  to  the  sorrow-stricken  family  our  warmest  sympa- 
thy in  their  great  bereavement,  and  will  cherish  with  them  the  memory  of  one 
who  has  endeared  himself  to  our  hearts  as  a  generous  friend,  a  wise  counsellor, 
and  a  benefactor  of  his  race. 
That  we  extend  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  our  earnest  sym- 
pathy in  their  affliction  in  the  loss  of  one  who  has  so  long  and  ably  filled  the 
position  of  Professor  of  Pharmacy  and  editor  of  their  journal,  causing  the 
name  of  their  College  to  be  honored  wherever  pharmacy  is  recognized.
