Resolved,  That  it  is  the  sense  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  that

the  United  States  is  very  desirable,  and  would  prove  of  great  benefit  to  the

On  Wednesday  evening,  April  22,  1896,  the  College  celebrated  her  seventy- 
fifth  anniversary  by  a  banquet  in  the  Museum,  and  a  display  in  the  Library  of 
the  literature  thus  far  contributed  by  members  and  Faculty.  About  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  guests  assembled  in  the  Library,  where  the  above-mentioned 
exhibit  was  inspected,  as  well  as  one  of  selections  from  the  Martindale 
herbarium.  About  8  o'clock  the  company  proceeded  to  the  Museum,  which 
had  been  temporarily  fitted  up  as  a  banquet  hall,  where  dinner  was  served, 
after  which  addresses  were  made  by  some  of  the  invited  guests  and  members  of 
the  College.
