The  Procter  Memorial.

June,  1906. 
man  associated  with  this  organization  who  has  done  so  much,  who 
has  been  such  a  faithful  servant  of  this  association  in  times  gone 
by,  who  cared  for  it  to  the  extent  that  William  Procter  did ;  I  hope 
when  we  meet  in  Philadelphia  in  1902,  that  something  will  be  done 
to  commemorate  the  grand  work  William  Procter,  Jr.,  has  done  for 
this  association  and  American  pharmacy." 
At  the  next  meeting  held  at  Richmond,  Va.,  in  1900,  Prof.  Joseph 
P.  Remington  read  an  interesting  memorial  address  on  the  life  of 
William  Procter,  Jr.  This  was  published  in  the  proceedings  of  that 
year. 
Since  that  time  the  reminiscences  of  personal  friends  and  various 
recommendations  of  pharmacists,  teachers,  and  editors,  have  been 
published  in  pages  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and 
other  pharmaceutical  periodicals. 
In  1 90 1  President  John  F.  Patton  in  his  address  to  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  referred  to  the  remarks  of  Mr.  Ebert, 
made  at  the  meeting  in  1899;  and  subsequently  his  successor, 
President  H.  M.  Whelpley,  appointed  a  committee  on  the  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  fund.  This  committee  made  a  report  at  the  semi- 
centennial meeting  in  Philadelphia  in  1902,  in  which  they  recom- 
mended that  the  life  membership  fund  be  changed  to  the  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  fund.  Other  recommendations  were  made,  and  a  reso- 
lution was  passed  to  hold  the  fund  in  reserve  until  it  shall  have 
reached  $25,000.  After  this  report,  John  F.  Hancock  made  some 
remarks  recommending  the  erection  of  a  monument  at  the  National  • 
Capital,  as  a  memorial  to  Professor  Procter ;  and  at  the  Jubilee  session 
A.  E.  Ebert  read  a  memorial  sketch  of  the  late  Professor  Procter. 
At  the  1903  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
the  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Fund  Committee  made  a  report  in  favor  of 
not  using  any  of  the  fund  until  $25,000  shall  have  been  collected. 
At  this  meeting  John  F.  Hancock  presented  a  paper  advocating  a 
memorial  monument,  and  at  the  meeting  in  1904  Mr.  Hancock  pre- 
sented another  paper  in  favor  of  this  monument  and  offered  the 
following  preambles  and  resolutions  which  were  adopted  : 
Whereas,  The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  from  its 
inception  has  enrolled  as  members  the  most  reputable  and  accom- 
plished pharmacists  and  druggists  in  America,  who  by  the  character 
of  their  annual  contributions  have  made  it  an  ideal  organization, 
and
