44  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  /  Am.  jour.  Pharm. 
^  '  (     January,  1911. 
Whereas,  We,  the  members  of  the  City  of  Washington  Branch 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  having  learned  of  the 
death  of  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg,  a  prominent  member,  and  Editor  of  the 
Bulletin  of  our  Association,  are  desirous  of  expressing  our  apprecia- 
tion of  his  long  continued  and  unselfish  interest  in  everything  per- 
taining to  the  advancement  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion and  the  progress  of  true  pharmacy  generally,  now,  therefore, 
be  it 
Resolved,  That  we  hereby  record  our  appreciation  of  his  unfail- 
ing and  untiring  devotion  to  pharmacy,  his  singleness  of  purpose, 
and  the  unquestioned  probity  which  guided  his  every  effort  in  secur- 
ing for  true  pharmacy  the  recognition  properly  due  it. 
Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolutions  be  embodied  in  our 
minutes  and  a  copy  forwarded  to  the  family  of  the  deceased  as  an 
expression  of  our  sympathy  and  esteem. 
The  evidently  authoritative  communication,  entitled  "  The  Jour- 
nal of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,"  published  in  the 
October,  1910,  number  of  the  Am.  Ph.  A.  Bulletin  (p.  555),  indicates 
that  there  are  a  number  of  important  questions  which  appear,  as 
yet,  to  have  received  insufficient  consideration  by  the  Committee 
therein  referred  to. 
By  far  the  most  important  of  these  several  questions  is  the 
vacancy  caused  by  the  unexpected  death  of  the  newly  elected  Editor- 
in-chief.  Professor  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg  was  generally  conceded  to 
be  thoroughly  well-fitted  by  his  unusual  training  and  experience  to 
undertake  the  launching  of  this  project,  so  fraught  with  possibilities 
for  success  or  failure,  for  progress  or  retrogression,  as  the  publica- 
tion of  a  journal  which  will,  inevitably,  bring  the  Association  into 
active  competition  with  a  number  of  drug  and  trade  journals  which 
have  for  decades  been  more  or  less  influential  in  maintaining  and 
developing  the  Association  along  the  lines  hitherto  pursued. 
.  That  the  position  of  Editor-in-chief  and  general  manager  of  such 
a  Journal  is  recognized  as  being  the  all-important  factor,  on  which 
the  success  or  failure  of  the  enterprise  must  depend,  is  well  indicated 
by  the  following  opinion  of  a  correspondent,  himself  well  qualified 
by  long  years  of  experience  to  speak  with  authority: 
"  What  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  needs  is  a  man 
who  has  arrived,  who  understands  every  phase  of  journalism  from 
the  buying  of  paper  and  keeping  tabs  on  the  printer-man,  all  the 
way  through  soliciting  "  ads,"  preferred  positions,  writing  top-heads 
and  sub-heads,  making  up  a  page  of  reading  matter  in  an  artistic
