of  dates  for  holding  these  meetings,  he  wished  to  say  that  the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  N.  A.  B.  P.  in  a  previous  session  had 
discussed  quite  thoroughly  the  matter  of  place  and  dates  for  the 
holding  of  the  next  annual  meeting  of  the  N.  A.  B.  P. ;  that  it 
seemed  the  unanimous  opinion  of  the  committee  that,  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  association,  as  well  as  the  members  attending,  the- 
annual  conventions  of  the  association  should  be  held  on  different 
dates  from  those  on  which  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Conventions  are  held,  either 
during  the  week  preceding  or  the  week  following  that  meeting. 
Thursday  and  Friday,  August  the  5th  and  6th  of  the  week  preceding 
the  A.  Ph.  A.  Convention,  had  been  suggested,  with  the  further 
suggestion  that  the  joint  meetings  of  the  boards  and  faculties  be 
held  on  Saturday,  August  7  (the  Saturday  preceding  the  A.  Ph.  A. 
Convention).  The  Executive  Committee,  however,  deferred  defi- 
nitely deciding  on  these  dates  in  order  that  the  matter  might  be 
brought  before  this  session. 
The  advisability  and  advantages  of  holding  these  annual  meet- 
ings on  different  dates  from  those  on  which  the  A.  Ph.  A.  holds  its 
meetings  were  thoroughly  gone  into.  It  was  particularly  pointed 
out  that  the  holding  of  the  meetings  on  dates  separate  from  those 
on  which  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Convention  is  held  would  prove  not  only 
a  great  advantage  to  the  N.  A.  B.  P.  and  the  Conference,  but  that 
it  would  also  be  an  advantage  to  the  A.  Ph.  A.,  in  that  it  would 
permit  members  of  these  two  bodies  to  attend  and  take  part  in  the 
sessions  of  that  association. 
On  motion  made  by  Mr.  Porterfield,  seconded  by  Mr.  Lewis, 
and  carried,  the  dates  for  holding  the  next  annual  convention  of  the 
N.  A.  B.  P.  were  fixed  for  Thursday  and  Friday,  August  5  and  6, 
191 5,  in  San  Francisco,  Cal. 
On  motion  of  Dr.  Hynson,  seconded  by  Professor  Kraemer,  and 
carried,  the  date  for  the  annual  joint  meetings  of  the  National 
Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  and  the  American  Conference 
of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties  was  set  for  Saturday,  August  7,  191 5, 
in  San  Francisco,  Cal.  (the  Saturday  preceding  the  A.  Ph.  A.  Con- 
vention) ;  this  on  condition  that  Professor  Koch  should  lay  the 
matter  before  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Conference  of  Phar- 
maceutical Faculties  for  its  approval,  and  report  its  decision,  before 
dates  should  be  published. 
At  1  o'clock  p.m.  the  meeting  adjourned,  to  meet  again  at  2.30.
