434  Nineteenth  Annual  Meeting  of  the     { ^^6ct.T  mT'' 
which  was  established  after  the  example  of  the  American  Association, 
and  referring  to  its  increasing  roll  of  members  and  the  good  work 
done  by  it,  returned  thanks  for  the  honor  conferred  upon  him. 
Letters  were  read  from  the  American  Wine  Company,  the  Mercan- 
tile Library  and  the  Public  School  Library,  inviting  the  members  to 
visit  these  institutions.  They  were  accepted  with  the  thanks  of  the 
Association. 
The  Committee  on  Credentials  handed  in  their  report,  showing 
that  the  following  local  Associations  and  Colleges  had  elected  dele- 
gates to  represent  them  at  this  meeting,  viz.,  Massachusetts  College 
of  Pharmacy,  Alumni  Association  of  the  same,  College  of  Pharmacy 
of  the  city  of  New  York,  Alumni  Association  of  the  same.  New  Jer- 
sey Pharmaceutical  Association,  Newark  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  Alumni  Association  of  the  same, 
Marj^and  College  of  Pharmacy,  Alumni  Association  of  the  same. 
Columbia  Pharmaceutical  Association  of  Washington,  Louisville  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  St.  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy,  Chicago  College  of 
Pharmacy,  Kansas  College  of  Pharmacy,  Ontario  College  of  Pharma- 
cy and  University  of  Michigan,  School  of  Pharmacy.  Each  institu- 
tion had  accredited  five  delegates,  except  the  two  last  named,  vv^hich 
were  represented  by  one  delegate  each. 
Objections  were  raised  to  the  admission  of  Professor  A.  B.  Pres- 
cott,  M.D.,  as  a  delegate  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  and  the  re- 
port of  the  Committee  on  Credentials  was  adopted,  except  so  far  as 
it  related  to  the  delegate  from  the  University.  An  animated  discus- 
sion arose,  most  speakers  contending  that  the  School  of  Pharmacy  of 
this  University  could  not  be  regarded  as  a  College  of  Pharmacy  in 
the  meaning  of  the  by-laws  of  the  Association,  although  under  the 
same  by-laws  the  gentleman  might  become  a  candidate  for  member- 
ship. Finally  the  whole  subject  was  referred  to  a  Committee  com- 
posed of  one  member  from  each  delegation.  Prof.  G.  F.  H.  Markoe, 
Messrs.  Thos.  Doliber,  P.  W.  Bedford,  J.  W.  Ballard,  E.  P.  Nichols, 
Chas.  H.  Dalrymple,  Prof.  Wm.  Procter,  Prof.  Edw.  Parrish,  J.  F. 
Hancock,  L.  Dohme,  Z.  W.  Cromwell,  C.  L.  Diehl,  Enno  Sander, 
E.  H.  Sargent,  Robt.  J.  Brown  and  Wm.  Saunders  were  appointed 
on  this  Committee,  and,  on  motion,  the  presiding  officer  was  added 
thereto. 
The  roll  being  called,  sixty-seven  members  and  delegates  answered 
to  their  names.
