of  invitations  from  local  organizations,  to  judge  by  the  results  of  Ihe  last  two  meet- 
ings, is  a  success,  and  promises  greater  usefulness  to  the  Association  in  the  future, 
by  relieving  local  members  from  any  obligation  to  give  unnecessary  attention  to 
visiting  members.  The  good  influence  of  last  year's  meeting  in  the  South  ;  the 
large  increase  of  Southern  members  ;  the  very  hospitable  manner  in  which  the  As- 
sociation was  received  and  entertained  by  the  pharmacists,  druggists  and  municipal 
authorities  of  Richmond  ;  the  subsequent  organization  of  the  Richmond  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  which,  doubtless,  to  some  extent,  was  influenced  by  this  Asso- 
ciation, are  pleasant  remembrances  to  those  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  pre- 
sent. 
I  sincerely  hope  that  equally  good  results  may  attend  the  meeting  this  year  in 
the  Southwest. 
All  who  are  interested  in  the  advancement  of  pharmacy  are  hereby  invited  to 
attend,  and  to  place  on  exhibition  any  article  of  interest  relating  to  the  objects  of 
the  meeiing.  In  short,  the  meetings  are  pleasant  and  profitable  to  the  overworked 
pharmacists,  socially  and  intellectually,  while  they  promote  the  general  health,  and 
extend  professional  and  business  enterprise.

Philadelphia,  Sixth  month  29,  1874. 
A  seated  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  held  this 
afternoon  in  the  College  Hall.  Fourteen  members  present.  Dillwyn  Parrish, 
President,  in  the  chair. 
The  minutes  of  the  annual  meeting  in  March  last  were  read  and  adopted. 
The  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  were  also  read  by  Thos.  S.  Wiegand, 
in  the  absence  of  William  C.  Bakes,  Secretary  of  the  Board,  By  these  minutes 
we  are  informed  that  the  titles  to  the  houses  recently  purchased  on  Tenth 
street,  have  been  passed,  and  the  College  is  now  in  full  possession  of  the  pro- 
perties. 
The  donation  of  Peter  Williamson,  referred  to  the  Board,  has  been  desig- 
nated the  "  Peter  Williamson  Scholarship  Fund,"  and  the  interest  accruing 
from  it  was  directed  to  be  applied  annually  to  the  education  in  the  College  of 
such  persons  as  the  Board  shall  select. 
The  laudable  example  thus  set  by  the  generosity  of  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
College  has  baen  favorably  spoken  of  by  many  of  the  members,  and  the  hope 
has  been  expressed  that  others  interested  in  the  institution  may  see  their  way 
clear  to  do  likewise. 
This  being  the  time  for  an  election  of  delegates  to  attend  the  meeting  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  to  be  held  in  Louisville,  in  September 
next,  a  ballot  was  ordered.  William  B.  Webb  and  Samuel  S.  Bunting,  acting 
as  tellers,  reported  the  following  gentlemen  elected:  James  T.  Shinn,  Prof. 
Jos.  P.  Remington,  Alonzo  Robbins,  Jos.  L.  Lemberger,  Edward  C.  Jones.  At 
the  same  time  an  election  for  delegates  to  attend  the  Convention  of  teaching 
Colleges  of  Pharmacy,  resulted  in  the  choice  of  James  T.  Shinn,  Prof.  John 
M.  Maisch,  Prof.  Jos.  P.  Remington. 
On  motion  it  was  resolved,  that  each  of  the  above  delegations  be  author- 
ized to  fill  any  vacancies  that  may  occur  in  their  respective  bodies.
