AM^vUiB;  Minutes  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy.  539 
ject  of  titles,  which  had  been  deferred  at  the  previous  meeting  held  in  Rich- 
mond, came  up  for  consideration.  All  the  Colleges  represented,  with  one 
exception,  reported  through  their  delegates  in  favor  of  the  time-honored 
degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy,  "and  against  the  conferring  of  the  title  of 
'  Doctor  in  Pharmacy  '  upon  the  curriculum  of  our  Colleges  of  Pharmacy, 
under  the  pretence  of  raising  the  standard  of  graduation.  The  reasons 
assigned  for  this  course  were  similar  or  identical  with  those  advanced  by  a 
Committee  appointed  some  time  ago  by  our  Board  of  Trustees,  in  a  report 
published  on  page  391  of  the  August  number,  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy. 
The  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  adhering  to  this  course  are  those  of  Massachusetts, 
New  York,  Philadelphia,  Maryland,  Cincinnati,  Louisville,  St.  Louis  and 
Chicago.  The  delegate  from  the  Tennessee  College  withdrew  from  the  Con- 
ference. The  National  College  of  Pharmacy  at  Washington  and  the  California 
College  of  Pharmacy  were  the  only  Schools  not  represented  at  the  Conference  , 
A  resolution  was  adopted  that  at  each  Conference,  two  Colleges  be  appointed, 
each  to  propose  for  discussion  at  the  next  Conference,  one  question,  which  is 
to  be  communicated  to  the  other  Colleges  as  early  as  possible  ;  the  Philadel- 
phia and  Louisville  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  were  appointed  under  this  resolu- 
tion. 
A  motion  to  print  the  Proceedings  of  the  five  Conferences  was  laid  upon  the 
table.  The  officers  for  the  present  year  are  :  President,  Charles  A.  Tufts,  of 
the  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  Prof.  Jos.  P.  Remington  of  this 
College,  Secretary. 
John  M.  Maisch, 
Joseph  P.  Remington. 
Prof.  Maisch  called  the  attention  of  members  to  the  importance  of  speedily 
fitting  up  the  cabinet  of  the  College,  in  order  that  we  may  make  a  creditable 
display  during  the  forthcoming  Centennial  Celebration  in  1876. 
He  stated  that  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
will  be  held  here  in  that  year,  and  that  there  was  reason  to  hope  that  the 
Fifth  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress  would  be  held  here  also  at  that 
time. 
He  solicited  the  co-operation  of  all  the  members,  which  may  be  interpreted 
to  mean  u  contribution  of  the  finest  specimens  of  chemicals,  pharmaceutical 
preparations,  and  all  articles  of  Materia  Medica,  that  can  be  obtained,  and  the 
arrangement  of  the  same  in  the  cabinet  of  the  College. 
On  motion  of  Prof.  Remington,  it  was  resolved  that  the  Publication  Com- 
mittee be  authorized  to  forward  the  Journal  of  the  College  to  all  our  honorary 
members  from  this  date  forward. 
This  being  the  Semi  Annual  Meeting,  an  election  for  eight  Trustees  and  the 
Committee  on  Deceased  Members  was  ordered.
