MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE  MEETING. 
The  semi-annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  was  held  at  the  College,  145  North  Tenth  Street,  on  Monday,  Sep- 
tember 25,  1899.  Twenty-three  members  were  present,  Wm.  J.  Jcnks  presid- 
ing. The  minutes  of  the  meeting  of  June  26th  were  read,  and  approved  as 
read.  The  minutes  of  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  September 
were  read,  and  approved  as  read. 
Mr.  F.  W.  E.  Stedem  read  the  report  of  the  delegates  to  the  meeting  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  at  Put-in-Bay,  and,  on  motion,  the  report 
was  received  and  ordered  to  take  the  usual  course.  (A  full  report  of  the  pro- 
ceedings of  the  meeting  of  the  Association  was  published  in  the  October  num- 
ber of  this  Journae.) 
Professor  Remington  called  attention  to  the  meeting  of  the  International 
Pharmaceutical  Congress,  to  be  held  in  Paris  in  the  summer  of  1900 ; 
and  also  to  the  Pharmacopceial  Convention,  to  be  held  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
in  May,  1900,  which  will  have  a  larger  number  of  pharmacists  in  attendance 
than  ever  before,  due  to  a  more  liberal  recognition  of  the  claims  of  pharmacists 
for  representation  in  this  convention.  He  also  stated  that  in  view  of  this  fact 
it  was  the  sense  of  the  Put-in-Bay  meeting  that  it  was  desirable  to  hold  the 
next  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  an  Eastern  city 
convenient  of  access  to  Washington,  immediately  after  the  close  of  the  Phar- 
macopoeial  Convention,  and,  as  the  Association  had  not  met  in  Richmond,  Va., 
for  many  years,  that  city  had  been  selected  as  the  place  of  meeting,  the  exact 
date  being  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  officers  of  the  Association. 
Professor  Remington  spoke  of  the  feeling  of  sorrow  and  sympathy  for  Pro- 
fessor H.  Vin  Arny  that  was  manifested  when  his  serious  illness  became  known 
to  the  meeting  at  Put-in-Bay. 
An  election  of  Trustees  being  in  order,  Messrs.  Harry  L.  Stiles,  Joseph  W. 
England  and  George  M.  Beringer  were  unanimously  re-elected  for  a  term  of 
three  years. 
Professor  Sadtler  announced  that  the  teaching  year  of  the  College  would 
begin  on  October  2d,  and  that  the  number  of  matriculants  was  considerably 
in  excess  of  those  registered  at  the  same  time  last  year. 
Professor  Remington  announced  that  Mrs.  Mary  Powers  Harris  had  endowed 
a  scholarship  in  the  College  in  memory  of  her  father,  Thomas  H.  Powers.  The 
scholarship  provides  for  the  education  of  one  student  each  year  at  the  College. 
This  announcement  caused  great  satisfaction  to  the  members,  and  the  hope 
was  expressed  that  other  endowments  would  follow. 
On  motion,  the  meeting  adjourned.  W.  NEI.SON  Stem,  Secretary.
