time  extreme  reverence  was  displayed  in  honor  of  the  deceased. 
These  resolutions  were  adopted  unanimously  and  they  are  as 
follows  : 
"  Whereas,  In  the  decease  of  Charles  Rice,  Ph.D.,  on  May  13, 
1901,  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association  lost  an  honorary 
member  whose  services  had  added  honor  and  renown  to  the  profes- 
sion of  pharmacy ;  a  member  whose  sterling  qualifications,  high 
moral  character,  scholastic  and  linguistic  attainments,  had  endeared 
him  to  his  friends  and  associates. 
"  Whereas,  His  energetic  and  his  indefatigable  labor  enabled  him 
to  accomplish  a  colossal  amount  of  work  on  the  United  States  Phar- 
macopoeia, and  as  chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  for  the 
editions  of  1880  and  1890,  he  has  indelibly  impressed  his  personality 
on  the  book,  and  did  much  toward  establishing  the  high  scientific 
character  that  has  placed  our  national  standard  in  the  fore  rank  of 
pharmacopceial  authorities. 
"  Resolved,  By  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association,  that 
in  appreciation  of  his  great  services  and  the  lasting  effect  of  his 
example  and  influence  in  behalf  of  the  scientific  advancement  of 
pharmacy,  this  minute  be  spread  upon  our  records  as  a  tribute 
attesting  our  high  esteem  of  his  worth,  and  the  great  loss  that  our 
association  has  sustained. 
"  Resolved,  That  a  suitably  engrossed  copy  of  the  above  be  pre- 
pared, properly  attested  with  the  signatures  of  the  officers  and  seal 
of  the  association,  and  presented  to  the  New  York  College  of 
Pharmacy. 
"  Gentlemen,  we  now  have  the  honor  to  deliver  unto  you  this 
memorial  in  the  name  of  the  association,  and  we  hope  that  it  will 
stand  as  a  lasting  tribute  to  that  bright  and  glorious  light,  Dr. 
Charles  Rice,  and  that  it  will  serve  as  an  incentive  for  all  of  us  and 
the  coming  pharmacists  to  step  into  the  pale  of  this  bright  light." 
In  accepting  the  resolutions  on  behalf  of  the  college  Dr.  Chand- 
ler said : 
"Professor  Lohmann,  I  wish  to  say  to  you  and  your  fellow-mem- 
bers and  the  delegates  from  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical 
Association  that  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  highly  appre- 
ciates this  act  of  your  association;  that  it  fully  appreciates  the  fact 
that  you  realize  how  important  a  work  and  service  has  been  per- 
formed by  Dr.  Rice,  who  was  so  many  years  a  trustee  of  this  college
