386  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  {KT\x^Z'l^m' 
Delegates  to  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation to  be  held  at  San  Francisco,  Gal.,  August  9  to  14 — Joseph  P. 
Remington,  Joseph  W.  England,  and  F.  P.  Stroup. 
Dr.  A.  W.  Miller,  for  the  Committee  on  Relief  of  Pharmacists 
in  Belgium  and  other  places,  reported  that,  in  response  to  the  circular 
sent  to  members  of  the  College,  contributions  to  the  amount  of  one 
hundred  and  forty  dollars  had  been  received.  The  contributors  are 
H.  A'.  Amy,  George  M.  Beringer,  John  E.  Carter,  E.  G.  Eberle, 
George  B.  Evans,  Howard  B.  French,  L.  Gerhard,  John  F.  Hancock, 
Henry  Kraemer,  H.  Matusow,  Alfred  Mellor,  A.  W.  Miller,  F.  F. 
Muller,  Warren  H.  Polev,  Joseph  P.  Remington,  Frank  G.  Ryan, 
L.  E.  Sayre,  R.  M.  Shoemaker,  C.  C.  Sniteman,  H.  P.  Thorn,  and 
A.  H.  Weightman.  The  money  has  been  deposited  in  the  Continental 
Equitable  Trust  Company,  in  the  name  of  Henry  Kraemer,  Treasurer, 
War  Relief  Fund. 
Mr.  J.  S.  Beetem,  for  the  Committee  on  Membership  (in  the 
absence  of  the  chairman,  Professor  La  Wall),  read  the  annual  report. 
In  the  discussion  that  followed  the  reading,  Professor  Kraemer 
said,  in  view  of  the  losses  in  membership  by  death,  some  measures 
should  be  taken  with  a  view  to  increasing  the  membership  of  the 
College. 
President  French,  in  the  name  of  James  Hansell  French  2d,  pre- 
sented an  old  lignum  vitse  mortar  and  pestle.  The  history  of  it  was 
known  for  many  years — probably  as  far  back  as  1740.  The  thanks 
of  the  College  were  tendered  the  donor. 
Much  interest  was  shown  in  examining  the  certificate  of  W.  W. 
Glentworth  as  a  Fellow  of  the  College  of  Apothecaries  (the  early 
name  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy),  bearing  date  Octo- 
ber 5,  1821.  The  signatures  of  the  officers  were  still  very  distinct. 
In  the  discussion  that  followed,  Messrs.  Beringer,  Cook,  French, 
Kraemer,  Miller,  and  Remington  participated.  Many  interesting 
items  were  mentioned  in  connection  with  the  early  history  of  the 
College,  and  regrets  were  expressed  that  so  little  space  was  available 
at  present  for  the  display  and  proper  care  of  the  many  historical 
records  and  relics  in  the  possession  of  the  College. 
A  letter  was  read  from  Mr.  William  Mittelbach  acknowledging 
the  receipt  of  the  diploma  of  Master  in  Pharmacy. 
C.  A.  Weidemann,  M.D., 
Recording  Secretary.
