■^°jui^^92o: }    Commencement  of  Philadelphia  College.  499 
The  lecturer  had  prepared  at  considerable  expense  and  trouble 
a  large  number  of  lantern  slides  of  past  and  present  members  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  who  had  been  active 
in  the  conduct  of  its  affairs.  These  slides  were  taken  from  portraits 
and  also  from  snapshot  photographs,  and  the  remarks  of  the  speaker 
regarding  the  various  personalities  shown  combined  with  the  slides 
themselves  made  a  very  entertaining  address. 
After  the  installation  of  the  officers  the  meeting  adjourned  to 
reconvene  for  the  forty-fourth  annual  convention  in  Philadelphia 
next  year,  at  the  time  of  the  Centennial  Celebration  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy. 
COMMENCEMENT   OF  THE   PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE 
OF  PHARMACY  AND  SCIENCE. 
The  Ninety-Eighth  Annual  Commencement  Week  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  began  with  the  Bac- 
calaureate services  held  in  the  Church  of  St.  Luke  and  the  Epiphany, 
Sunday,  May  30th,  at  4  o'clock.  The  Rev.  David  M.  Steele  was 
the  Baccalaureate  preacher. 
On  Monday  afternoon,  May  31st,  the  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Alumni  Association  was  held  in  the  College  building  and  was  un- 
usually well  attended.  President  Robert  P.  Fischelis  in  his  annual 
report  sounded  the  keynote  of  the  campaign  for  a  greater  College  of 
Pharmacy.  He  pointed  out  that  the  charter  of  the  College  had  been 
changed,  so  as  to  permit  the  granting  of  degrees  in  the  various 
sciences,  and  that-  the  name  of  the  institution  had  been  changed 
from  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  to  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  and  Science. 
He  referred  to  the  work  of  the  Alumni  Association  during  the 
year  and  pointed  out  that  arrangements  had  been  made  to  secure 
a  memorial  tablet  in  honor  of  the  graduates  and  students  of  the 
College  who  served  in  the  World  War  and  in  special  recognition  of 
those  who  made  the  supreme  sacrifice. 
He  announced  that  the  Alumni  Association  was  on  a  better 
financial  footing  than  it  had  ever  been  before,  and  that  the  nucleus 
of  an  endowment  fund  for  the  work  of  the  Alumni  Association  alone 
had  been  started  by  the  purchase  of  a  $100  Liberty  Bond.  He 
urged  the  Alumni  of  the  College  everywhere  to  lend  their  aid  in  the
