Annual  Meeting. 
Am.  Jour.  Pharm. 
April,  1920. 
Dr.  Stewart  also  approved  of  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Robinson. 
It  would  give  us  a  good  deal  of  backing  from  our  medical  graduates. 
Mr.  McNeary  thought  it  desirable  for  the  officers  and  trustees 
of  the  College  to  enlist  the  cooperation  of  and  secure  contributions 
from  those  who  are  among  our  graduates  who  have  become  mil- 
lionaires because  of  the  influence  on  their  lives  and  their  great  success 
in  life  their  connection  with  the  College  has  had. 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer  was  glad  we  had  gotten  down  to  a 
definite  plan  of  work.  We  had  talked  much  previously,  but  from 
to-day  we  are  going  to  get  down  to  hard  work.  This  celebration 
was  not  a  local  affair,  it  was  a  national,  yes,  even  an  international 
event.    Let  us  make  a  big  function  of  it. 
Prof.  La  Wall  suggested  to  get  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  to  meet  here  next  year.  This  was  very  favorably 
received,  and,  on  motion,  it  was 
"Resolved  to  formally  extend  an  invitation  to  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  to  meet  in  Philadelphia  in  192 1  and 
join  with  us  in  celebrating  the  Centenary  of  the  College." 
Mr.  Beringer,  Jr.,  said  this  would  practically  be  a  celebration 
of  the  centenary  of  pharmaceutical  education  in  this  country,  and 
he  thought  that  the  beginning  of  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia  had 
not  been  as  well  understood  as  it  should  be. 
Mr.  French  suggested  that  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation should  also  meet  in  Philadelphia  in  1921. 
Mr.  Beringer  had  often  hoped  for  a  joint  meeting  with  the  Penn- 
sylvania Pharmaceutical  Association — he  thought  it  would  be  ap- 
propriate to  ask  the  New  Jersey  Association  to  meet  about  the  time 
of  the  Centenary  celebration  and  hold  at  least  one  of  their  meetings 
in  the  College.  The  suggestion  was  favorably  received,  and,  on 
motion,  was  adopted. 
Mr.  R.  T.  Blackwood  proposed  extending  an  invitation  to  the 
National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  to  meet  in  Philadelphia 
in  192 1. 
Prof.  LaWall  proposed  inviting  the  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties,  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy. 
A  member  proposed  inviting  the  Philadelphia  Association  of 
Retail  Druggists  to  actively  participate  in  the  centennial  events. 
All  of  these  propositions  were  adopted. 
Prof.  LaWall  mov^d  that  a  Publicity  Committee  be  appointed. 
Seconded,  approved  and  so  ordered.
