but  as  most  of  the  members  of  the  Committee  were  also  members 
of  the  College  Committee  on  the  revision  of  the  United  States  Phar- 
macopoeia that  much  of  their  time  of  late  has  been  occupied  with  that 
work. 
The  Committee  on  By-Laws,  to'  whom  was  referred  the  sug- 
gestion to  change  the  time  of  holding  the  Pharmaceutical  Meetings, 
reported  an  amendment  to  Article  XI,  Section  i.  Action  upon  which 
lies  over  till  the  next  meeting  of  the  College. 
The  Report  of  Delegates  to  the  34th  Annual  Meeting  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  held  at  Bedford  Springs, 
June  20th  to  23d,  was  presented  by  Professor  Lowe.  Among  the 
valuable  reports  were  those  on  "  Adulterations  "  and  "  Trade  Inter- 
ests," both  of  which  were  quite  full  and  of  great  interest.  The 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Legislation,  by  its  Chairman,  John  C. 
Wallace,  aroused  much  interest.  The  Pharmacy  Bill  as  amended 
was  referred  back  to  the  Committee  on  Legislation  with  instruc- 
tions to  prepare  a  bill  and  submit  to  the  members  one  month 
prior  to  the  next  Annual  Meeting.  Some  30  papers  were  pre- 
sented by  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries.  The  prize  of 
$20  for  the  best  paper  read  at  the  previous  meeting  was  awarded  to 
Mrs.  C.  H.  La  Wall. 
Mr.  J.  L.  Lemberger  was  elected  President.  Of  the  nine  ap- 
pointed delegates,  six  were  present.  So  many  of  the  graduates  of 
the  College  were  in  attendance  that  the  meeting  almost  looked  like 
an  Alumni  reunion. 
The  next  meeting  of  the  Association  will  be  held  at  Buena 
Vista. 
The  report  of  Delegates  to  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical 
Association  was  read  by  Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  Chairman. 
The  Annual  Meeting  was  held  at  Asbury  Park,  N.  J.,  June 
13-16.  There  was  an  address  of  welcome  by  the  Mayor  of  the 
city.  A  proper  recognition  of  "  Flag  Day  "  was  shown  by  draping 
the  presiding  officer's  desk  with  Old  Glory,  and  the  entire  Asso- 
ciation joining  in  singing  the  "  Star  Spangled  Banner."  Four  of 
the  delegates  from  the  College  attended  the  Meeting  and  were  cor- 
dially welcomed.  The  meeting  this  year  was  notable  for  increased 
attendance  and  interest  in  the  proceedings.  The  papers  were  more 
numerous  and  varied.  Professor  Kraemer  contributed  a  very  in- 
teresting paper  on  the  Pliarmacognosy  and  History  of  the  Echinacea. 
The  other  papers  presented  and  discussed  were  on  Standard  Sur- 
gical Dressing,  by  Mr.  F.  B.  Kilmer;  Review  of  the  German
