President  Whelpley  read  the  annual  address,  which  reviewed  the 
history  of  this  Conference  and  the  previous  efforts  in  this  direction. 
The  address  was  quite  lengthy  and  contained  a  large  amount  of 
valuable  material,  ending  with  a  number  of  recommendations,  thirty- 
one  in  all.  The  address  was  referred  to  a  committee  consisting  of 
J.  H.  Beal,  Edward  Kremers,  and  George  B.  KaufTman. 
In  the  absence  of  the  Secretary-Treasurer,  J.  O.  Schlotterbeck,

urer's report  was  referred  to  a  committee  composed  of  J.  T.  McGill, 
William  J.  Teeters,  and  W.  C.  Anderson. 
The  proposition  to  amend  the  by-laws,  increasing  the  preliminary 
educational  requirements,  created  considerable  discussion.  The 
proposed  amendment  read  that  the  requirements  for  admission  to  a 
school  or  college  shall  be :

(2)  The  satisfactory  completion  of  at  least  one  year  of  work  in  an 
accredited  high-school  or  its  equivalent  shall  be  demanded. 
Dr.  Otto  A.  Wall  submitted  a  mass  of  statistics  and  read  a  paper 
in  opposition  to  the  second  section  showing  that  it  would  be  impos- 
sible for  the  St.  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy  to  conform  with  this 
requirement.  The  second  section  was  finally  amended  by  adding 
"  Providing,  however,  that  such  requirements  shall  not  apply  to 
matriculants  who  are  bona  fide  legal  residents  of  Alabama,  Arkansas, 
Indian  Territory,  Louisiana,  Mississippi,  Texas,  Arizona,  Colorado, 
Idaho,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  Utah,  Wyoming  and  Missouri." 
On  request  of  the  New  York  State  Colleges  of  Pharmacy,  said 
colleges  were  given  three  years  in  which  to  comply  with  the  require-
