When  the  young  student  enters  this  institution  of  learning  and  sees 
that  kind  face  beaming  down  on  him,  and  although  unknown  to 
him,  he  will  naturally  ask,  "  Whose  is  this  gentleman's  face  ?  "  and 
it  will  be  replied  that  this  is  Dr.  Charles  Rice  ;  and  if  he  wants  a  still 
more  definite  answer,  our  friends  from  New  Jersey  have  inscribed  it 
there  on  the  memorial  which  they  have  presented  us  here  to-night, 
and  by  reading  that  inscription  they  will  thoroughly  know  who  Dr. 
Rice  was.  That,  I  believe,  is  a  right  and  proper  deed  for  this  col- 
lege and  for  our  New  Jersey  friends  to  do.  The  impression  of  the 
deeds  and  the  work  which  the  Doctor  has  done  during  his  life-time, 
gentlemen,  I  am  sure  will  forever  be  engraved  on  our  minds  and  on 
our  hearts  and  we  will  always  behold  in  him  one  of  the  stars,  one 
of  the  most  devoted  workers  in  pharmacy  that  this  country  has 
ever  produced." 
Dr.  Chandler  then  stated  that  he  would  be  very  glad  to  hear 
from  any  of  the  other  gentlemen  present  who  desired  to  pay  tribute 
to  the  memory  of  Dr.  Rice. 
Mr.  Caswell  A.  Mayo,  Editor  of  the  American  Druggist,  said : 
"  Mr.  President,  in  the  various  references  made  to  Dr.  Rice,  every- 
thing was  said  of  him  as  an  investigator  in  pharmacy  and  that  that 
was  the  portion  of  the  work  in  which  he  took  great  delight  and  in 
which  he  shone  with  particular  brilliancy.  Nothing  at  all  was  said 
about  his  journalistic  work.  It  has  been  my  good  fortune  to  follow 
him,  and  I  have  been  called  upon  to  trace  out  as  far  as  I  might 
some  of  his  journalistic  work,  and  throughout  the  columns  of  the 
pharmaceutical  press  during  the  last  twenty-five  years  I  have  found 
most  abundant  evidences  of  that  profound  knowledge,  that  careful 
thought,  that  liberal  division  of  his  own  time  and  work  to  the  pub- 
lic ends,  which  has  been  so  characteristic  of  him  in  his  pharmaceut- 
ical work.  As  a  journalist,  I  appreciate  more  keenly  almost  than 
anyone  else  how  much  of  labor,  of  thought,  of  time,  is  involved  in 
the  routine  work  of  which  he  did  so  large  a  share  in  journalism  and 
for  which  so  little  return  in  popular  appreciation  or  in  financial 
returns  are  ever  reaped.  Dr.  Rice's  work  in  journalism  was  not  of 
a  kind  which  figures  very  largely  in  bibliography  ;  in  fact,  one  of 
the  most  difficult  parts  of  the  work  in  following  Dr.  Rice's  work  has 
been  to  distinguish,  to  find  out  how  he  has  taken  so  much  of  his 
own  time  to  contribute  to  the  various  pharmaceutical  journals  and 
the  very  great  care  which  he  took  apparently.    Still,  his  every  act
