Am  NSv.MSf rm" } Minutes  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Meeting.  5  5 7 
"As  Editor  of  the  Journal  of  the  College  for  22  years,  he  discarded  all  matter 
not  relevant  to  the  true  interests  of  Pharmaceutical  Science  ;  while  his  ready 
discrimination  enabled  him  to  sift  rapidly  the  literature  of  his  profession. 
When  occasion  required  criticism,  it  was  done  in  the  kindly  spirit  characteristic 
of  a  mind  in  pursuit  of  facts,  and  not  for  antagonism. 
"The  amount  of  labor  which  he  performed  as  Author,  Editor,  Permanent 
Secretary  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  a  long  course  of 
years,  attest  the  activity  and  ability  of  his  well-balanced  mind. 
"His  character  in  private  life  is  well  known  to  all  of  us,  and  requires  no 
eulogy  from  me. 
"  It  is  not  the  purpose  of  your  Committee  to  sketch  at  this  time  a  general  out- 
line of  the  life  of  our  departed  Associate  ;  a  suitable  memoir  will  be  prepared 
hereafter  for  publication  in  the  Journal  of  the  College.  A  strong  man  has 
been  taken  from  us  ;  let  us  endeavor  to  honor  the  memory  of  Prof.  Maisch  by 
a  renewal  of  our  interest  in  this  Institution  to  which  he  was  devotedly  attached, 
and  seek  to  maintain  the  high  character  of  the  chair  left  vacant  by  his 
decease." 
The  Secretary  stated  that  the  terms  of  Henry  Trimble  and  of  Jos.  W.  Eng- 
land as  trustees  expired  with  this  date,  and  also  that  of  Daniel  S.  Jones, 
deceased,  and  that  an  election  would  be  necessary.  Tellers  being  appointed, 
announced  the  election  of  the  following  gentlemen  as  Trustees  for  the  ensuing 
three  years  :    Henry  Trimble,  Jos.  W.  England  and  George  M.  Beringer. 
Prof.  Sadtler  moved  to  proceed  to  an  election,  also  to  supply  the  place  in  the 
Board  of  Trustees  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Prof.  John  M.  Maisch.  Mr. 
Beringer  offered  a  motion  to  postpone,  and  Mr.  Ross  a  motion  to  lay  on  the 
table,  alleging  that  undue  haste  might  indicate  a  want  of  respect  for  the 
memory  of  Prof.  Maisch,  both  these  motions,  being  negatived,  however,  an 
election  proceeded,  the  tellers  finally  announcing  the  selection  of  Jos.  L,.  L,em- 
berger,  of  Lebanon,  Pa.,  for  the  position  made  vacant. 
Upon  a  question  arising  whether  in  the  event  of  a  number  of  candidates  being 
presented  for  choice,  a  plurality,  or  a  majority  of  votes  shall  govern  it  was  the 
expressed  sense  of  the  members  that  a  majority  of  all  votes  cast  should  deter- 
mine the  result. 
On  motion,  adjourned.  Wiwjam  B.  Thompson, 
Secretary. 
MINUTES  OF  THE  PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING. 
October  17,  1893. 
On  motion,  Dr.  A.  W.  Miller  was  called  to  the  chair. 
The  reading  of  the  minutes  was  dispensed  with,  as  they  had  been  printed  so 
long  since  that  the  members  were  doubtless  familiar  with  them. 
Professor  Sadtler  presented  to  the  library  a  copy  of  the  German  edition  of 
Wagner's  hand-book  of  Chemical  technology,  two  volumes  of  Geological 
Survey  of  Pennsylvania  for  1891,  and  two  for  1892  ;  also  a  copy  of  Koenig's 
Nahrungsmittel  and  several  Bulletins  of  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture. 
Professor  Trimble  presented  to  the  cabinet  of  the  College  a  number  of 
specimens  of  Oak  Bark,  eight  or  ten  in  number.  Mr.  Parker,  of  Connecticut, 
some  specimens  of  the  wood  from  which  Connecticut  nutmegs  were  made.
