Am'ju?y ri<Ti5arm' }  National  Association  Boards  of  Pharmacy.  337 
March  16  and  17,  1915.  This  report  also  contains  an  outline  of  the 
program  for  the  coming  annual  joint  meeting  in  San  Francisco 
on  August  7.  The  holding  of  the  annual  meetings  of  the  Conference 
of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards 
of  Pharmacy  on  dates  preceding  those  on  which  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Con- 
vention is  to  be  held,  it  is  believed,  will  result  in  greater  accomplish- 
ments for  all  concerned  by  affording  members  the  opportunity  of 
attending  meetings  of  the  different  associations  without  conflict. 
Chairman  Burton,  of  the  Executive  Committee,  called  the  meet- 
ing to  order  and  announced  that,  according  to  previous  arrange- 
ments, this  session  would  be  held  as  a  joint  meeting  of  chairmen  of 
committees  representing  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy,  with 
the  Executive  Committee;  this  as  a  result  of  the  appointing,  at  the 
Detroit  Convention,  by  both  the  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy,  of 
corresponding  committees  of  three,  known  by  titles  as  follows:  Com- 
mittee on  "  Time  and  Place  of  Joint  Meetings,"  Committee  on  "  Pro- 
gram for  Joint  'Meetings  of  Conference  and  Boards,"  Committee  on 
"  More  Satisfactory  Examination  of  Candidates  for  Graduation  and 
Candidates  for  Board  Certificates." 
Mr.  Burton  then  stated  briefly  that  the  object  of  the  appointment 
of  these  committees  and  the  calling  of  this  joint  meeting  of  repre- 
sentatives of  the  committees  was  with  a  view  of  planning  for  more 
successful  joint  meetings  of  the  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties  and  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  at 
the  time  of  their  annual  conventions  than  had  been  held  in  the  past. 
He  further  stated  that  it  was  hoped  that  this  movement  would 
bring  about  a  condition  between  members  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy 
and  members  of  Schools  of  Pharmacy  Faculties  which  would  result 
mutually  beneficial,  and  also,  as  indicated  by  the  title  of  one  of  the 
committees,  result  in  more  thorough  and  suitable  training  and  exam- 
ination of  the  future  pharmacist. 
Dr.  Hynson,  in  a  few  characteristic  remarks,  stated  that  he  was 
heartily  happy  to  be  present ;  that  a.  condition  such  as  it  was  hoped 
to  bring  about  as  a  result  of  the  present  movement  for  a  closer 
relationship  between  the  faculties  and  the  boards  had  been  one  of 
the  day  dreams  of  his  life.  He  stated,  further,  that  his  ideas  about 
this  subject  were,  fundamentally,  that  Boards  of  Pharmacy  having
