OBITUARY. 
In  three  weeks  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  lost  two  of  its  faith- 
ful members.  Wm,  C.  Bakes,  Ph.G.,  class  1855,  died  August  29th,  in  Ocean 
Grove,  and  Dillwyn  Parrish,  Ph.G.,  class  1830,  died  in  Philadelphia,  Septem- 
ber 18th.  The  Committee  on  Deceased  Members  will  doubtless  report  more 
fully  upon  their  services ;  for  the  present  we  note  in  the  following  the  action 
taken  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  : 
This  Board  having  learned  with  deep  regret  of  the  decease,  on  the  29th  of 
August,  of  their  fellow-member  and  secretary,  William  C.  Bakes  :  Therefore, 
Resolved — That  we  place  on  record  our  sense  of  the  loss  sustained  by  us  and 
by  this  College  in  the  death  of  our  fellow-member.  Mr.  Bakes  has  served 
this  Board  for  a  long  course  of  years  as  its  secretary,  filling  the  position 
with  faithfulness,  and  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  its  members.  The  zeal  and 
energy  manifested  by  him  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  assigned  to  him; 
his  judgment  ripened  by  long  experience  in  conducting  the  commencements 
and  other  public  duties  assigned  to  him  were  so  well  appreciated,  that  we 
reposed  in  confidence  on  his  management  on  such  occasions.  So  identified 
did  he  feel  with  this  Board  from  long  participation  in  its  membership,  that 
he  continued  his  services  as  secretary  after  removing  to  Ocean  Grove, 
although  his  labor  and  loss  of  time  was  much  increased  thereby.  While 
called  upon  to  mourn  the  loss  of  a  valued  member  and  friend,  in  the  prime 
of  life,  it  is  with  gratification  that  we  can  turn  to  his  record  as  one  which 
will  do  honor  to  his  name  and  memory. 
The  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  The  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  assembled  in  special  meeting  to-day,  September  20,  to  consider 
the  propriety  of  an  expression  of  feeling  upon  the  death  on  September  18th, 
of  Dillwyn  Pareish,  late  president,  and  life-long  member  of  this  College : 
Do  resolve-To  have  placed  upon  the  records  of  the  College  a  sense  of  profound 
sorrow,  and  of  the  high  and  generous  esteem  with  which  we  valued  his 
counsel,  and  his  personal  association.  Possessing  in  a  marked  degree,  all 
those  traits  which  gave  greatest  value  to  human  character,  he  impressed 
their  influence  upon  his  connection  here  and  upon  us. 
Eminently  discreet  and  wise  in  all  his  views  governing  the  policy  of  this 
institution,  he,  in  common  with  other  esteemed  counsellors,  (the  majority 
of  whom  have  now  passed  from  life)  has  given  to  The  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy,  a  name,  honored  and  distinguished  among  the  institutions 
of  this  country.
