tion  to  many  of  the  shortcomings  in  the  present-day  curriculum 
of  pharmaceutical  schools. 
The  second  session  of  the  section  was  presided  over  by  John 
C.  Wallace  of  New  Castle,  Pa.,  and  was  generally  commented  on 
as  being  one  of  the  most  interesting  sessions  of  the  Boston  meeting. 
The  third  session,  following  the  established  precedent,  was  a 
joint  session  of  the  section  with  the  National  Association  of  Boards 
of  Pharmacy  and  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Facul- 
ties, at  which  a  number  of  questions  relating  to  state  board  ex- 
aminations were  discussed  at  length. 
The  officers  of  this  section  for  the  ensuing  year  are  John  C.

SECTION  ON  HISTORICAL  PHARMACY. 
The  Section  on  Historical  Pharmacy  held  two  sessions  this 
year,  or  perhaps  more  correctly,  one  session  in  the  afternoon,  on 
the  boat  returning  from  Plymouth,  and  an  adjourned  session,  at 
the  hotel,  in  the  evening.  The  Chairman  of  the  Section,  Joseph  L. 
Lemberger,  presided  and  the  programme  was  replete  with  interest- 
ing subjects.  Among  the  several  contributions  offered  at  the  after- 
noon session  was  the  presentation  of  a  scrap-book  entitled  Hall- 
bergana,  by  Francis  B.  Hays  of  Neyv^  York.  This  book  contains 
an  interesting  collection  of  material,  historical,  biographical  and 
otherwise,  relating  to  the  late  editor  of  the  Bulletin  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg. 
At  the  evening  session  several  additional  contributions  were 
presented,  among  them  an  illustrated  lecture  on  The  Apothecary  in 
Literature,  by  Edward  Kremers.  This  contribution  was  a  real 
treat,  and  thoroughly  well  appreciated  by  all  who  had  the  privilege 
of  listening  to  the  lecture,  and  seeing  the  pictures  exhibited  by 
the  lecturer. 
ADDITIONAL  SESSIONS  OE  THE  ASSOCIATION. 
In  addition  to  the  two  general  sessions  announced  on  the 
programme,  the  Association  held  a  special  session  on  the  morning 
of  Wednesday,  August  i6,  at  which  several  Committee  reports  were 
received.  Another  special  session  was  held  on  Friday  afternoon, 
preceding  the  meeting  of  the  Section  on  Historical  Pharmacy.  The 
object  of  this  session  was  to  determine  the  place  of  meeting  for
