and  whom  we  are  proud  to  claim  as  a  member  of  our  college.  We 
cannot  help  considering  that  to  us  of  New  York  particularly  it  is  a 
compliment  to  the  college,  as  well  as  to  Dr.  Rice,  coming  from  such 
an  association  as  the  New  Jersey  Association  of  Pharmacists.  It  is 
a  compliment  which  is  earnest  and  substantial.  I  wish  you  would 
thank  the  members  of  your  association  for  the  College  of  Pharmacy." 
The  secretary  of  the  college,  Thomas  F.  Main,  announced  that 
the  evening  was  to  be  devoted  specially  to  the  memorial  to  Dr. 
Charles  Rice,  and  that  invitations  had  been  sent  out  in  the  name  or 
the  president  to  the  members  of  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  the 
United  States  Pharmacopoeia  and  others  and  that  he  had  received 
letters  of  regret  from  the  following :  Dr.  George  F.  Payne,  Atlanta, 
Ga.;  Dr.  Willis  G.  Gregory,  Buffalo,  N.  Y. ;  Prof.  Walter  H.  Haines,

Dr.  Chandler  then  called  for  the  report  of  the  Memorial  Committee 
of  the  College,  and  this  was  presented  by  the  chairman,  Dr.  Arthur 
H.  Elliott,  Professor  Emeritus  of  Chemistry  and  Physics,  who  said: 
"  Mr.  President,  Members  of  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical 
Association  and  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York, 
in  the  year  1868  there  was  elected  to  membership  in  this  college  a 
young  man,  twenty-seven  years  old,  who  had  recently  been  serving 
the  United  States  Government  on  one  of  its  warships.  Two  years 
later  this  young  man  had  proved  himself  so  useful  an  acquisition  to 
this  institution  that  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees. Very  soon  afterwards  he  became  chairman  of  the  Examination 
Committee  of  this  college,  which  office  he  held  for  many  years  and 
under  the  auspices  of  four  succeeding  presidents  of  this  institution. 
In  addition  to  this  he  was  for  a  number  of  years  chairman  of  the 
Library  Committee,  where  his  erudition  and  scholarship  spent  its 
energy  in  producing  the  handsome  collection  of  books  we  now  own. 
In  many  other  ways  also  this  man  helped  the  College  of  Pharmacy 
of  the  City  of  New  York.  He  was  on  the  Building  Committee  that 
gave  us  this  handsome  structure,  second  to  none  of  its  kind.
