(6)  The  officers  of  the  Congress  shall  consist  of  a  President,  Vice-President,

shall  act  as  a  nominating  Committee,  and  shall  nominate  the  officers  by  ballot. 
The  number  of  Vice-Presidents  to  be  nominated  shall  be  determined  by  the 
Nominating  Committee. 
(7)  The  first  session  of  the  Congress  will  be  opened  at  9  o'clock  A.M.,  on 
Monday,  the  21st  day  of  August,  1893,  in  the  Memorial  Art  Palace,  Chicago, 
in  which  commodious  halls  and  accommodations  have  been  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  Congress  through  the  courtesy  of  the  World's  Congress  Auxiliary 
of  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition. 
The  Congress  will  be  opened  with  appropriate  ceremonies,  official  addresses 
of  welcome,  and  a  report  of  the  Committee  on  Arrangements.  A  temporary 
organization  will  then  be  effected  and  a  Committee  on  Credentials  appointed. 
Following  this  will  come  the  adoption  of  regulations  for  the  government  of 
the  Congress  and  its  proceedings,  and  the  reception  of  official  communications 
and  invitations. 
The  Nominating  Committee  will  then  report  the  nominations  for  officers, 
after  which  the  election  of  officers  will  follow. 
(8)  The  proceedings  of  the  Congress  will  be  conducted  in  the  English 
language  ;  but,  when  participants  in  discussions  speak  in  German,  French, 
Spanish  or  Swedish,  interpreters  will  translate  these  languages  into  English. 
Addresses,  papers,  or  communications  printed  or  published  by  the  Congress 
will  be  published  in  English,  German,  French  and  Spanish. 
The  publication  of  the  Proceedings  will  be  intrusted  to  a  special  committee, 
to  be  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  Congress. 
To  defray  the  expenses  attendant  upon  such  publication,  each  member  from 
the  United  States  or  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  who 
may  take  part  in  the  Congress  will  be  required  to  pay  the  sum  of  five  dollars  ; 
no  assessment  to  be  made  upon  other  members  or  visitors. 
(9)  To  facilitate  the  conduct  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Congress,  the  Com- 
mittee on  Arrangements  will  classify  the  business  according  to  the  subjects,  and 
the  Congress  will  for  that  purpose  be  arranged  into  four  sections,  as  follows  : 
Section  I.      Historical  and  Ethical  Pharmacy. 
Section  II.    Pharmaceutical  Education  and  Legislation. 
Section  III.  Pharmacopceial  Matters. 
Section  IV.  General  Section,  embracing  pharmaceutical  questions  and  sub- 
jects not  assignable  to  any  of  the  three  preceding  sections. 
The  order  of  business  after  the  election  of  officers  will  be  in  conformity  with 
this  classification.
