whom  the  Doctor  defended  and  bore  with,  died  within  a  few  months, 
broken-hearted  because  they  had  lost  their  only  friend,  the  friend 
that  they  loved  so  well,  and  borne  with  them  only  as  a  really  humane 
and  Christian  man  could  bear  or  would  bear. 
"  His  learning,  his  industry,  his  wonderful  knowledge,  the  spirit  of 
prophecy — he  stood  upon  the  highest  pinnacle  of  what  was  right, 
and  so  there  was  naught  to  be  defended,  not  only  in  pharmaceutical 
sciences,  but  other  sciences.  All  were  glorious  and  bright,  but  the 
sweetest  and  loveliest  to  me  was  the  Doctor's  wonderful  charity,  his 
wondertul  humanity,  a  man  who  loved  men  simply  because  they 
were  men  and  needed  a  brotherly  and  fatherly  hand.  This  noble 
institution  which  he  was  instrumental  in  building  and  reorganizing 
very  largely  will  be  superseded,  but  his  image  is  engraved  in  the 
hearts  of  all  who  knew  him  and  loved  him,  and  we  hope  to  meet 
him  and  hear  his  praises  spoken  and  speak  of  him  on  the  other 
shore." 
In  closing  the  meeting,  President  Chandler  said: 
"  It  would  be  impossible  for  me  to  attempt  to  add  any- 
thing to  what  has  been  said,  but  I  must  say  that  I  cannot 
remember  an  occasion  on  which  so  many  friends  have  gathered  to 
express  the  opinion  and  appreciation  of  such  a  man  of  broad  schol- 
arship and  industry  combined  with  such  humble  modesty  as  was 
possessed  by  our  friend." 
PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING. 
The  first  of  the  series  of  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  for  1 903 -1 904  was  held  on  Tuesday  after- 
noon, October  20th,  Dr.  C.  A.  Weidemann,  Secretary  of  the  College, 
presiding. 
In  order  to  make  the  object  of  these  meetings  better  known  to 
those  not  members  of  the  College,  the  committee  having  them  in 
charge  this  year  has  issued  a  circular1  stating  the  nature  of  the 
1  Almost  uninterruptedly  since  1842  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phamiacy 
has  been  holding  annually  a  series  of  monthly  meetings  having  for  their  object 
the  presentation  and  discussion  of  matters  of  pharmaceutic  interest. 
When  they  were  first  organized  it  was  directed  that  these  meetings  be  known 
as  the  "  Pharmaceutic  Meetings  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  "  but 
in  more  recent  years  they  Lhave  come  to  be  known  as  the  "  Pharmaceutical 
Meetings."
