AmAprif;Krm,j        The  Visit  of  Henry  S.  Wellcome.  195 
In  presenting  the  loving  cup  Mr.  Wellcome  said  :  "  Mr.  President 
and  Members  of  the  Faculty  and  College:  My  memories  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  have  always  been  sweet. 
I  owe  a  great  deal  to  this  institution,  and  have  never  forgotten  it. 
Many  changes  have  taken  place  since  I  was  a  student  at  this  grand 
old  institution.  Dillwyn  Parrish  was  then  president,  and  the  Fac- 
ulty included  Professors  Bridges,  Maisch  and  Procter,  Professor 
Remington  being  assistant  to  the  latter  at  that  time.  It  was  a  pre- 
cious privilege,  I  assure  you,  to  have  such  men  as  preceptors,  and  I 
am  happy  to  see  that  the  traditions  of  the  old  P.C.P.  are  being  so 
nobly  maintained.  With  the  president  of  the  College  I  went 
through  the  building  yesterday,  and  as  I  saw  the  improvements  , 
which  have  been  made  my  mind  was  carried  back  to  the  days  when 
I  was  a  student  here  and  things  were  in  a  comparatively  primitive 
state.  I  see  in  the  splendid  success  and  development  of  this  Col- 
lege, the  results  of  the  untiring  and  well  directed  efforts  of  your 
president  and  your  faculty.  In  appreciation  of  those  old  days  I  desire 
to  present  this  loving  cup  as  a  small  offering  to  that  pleasant 
memory." 
Mr.  French  said  in  response :  "As  president  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  ot  Pharmacy  I  accept  this  loving  cup  with  great  pleasure. 
It  is  always  a  delight  to  know  that  the  graduates  of  our  College  re- 
member and  esteem  their  Alma  Mater.  This  token  of  your  appre- 
ciation will  be  a  perpetual  reminder  of  your  kindness." 
Remarks  were  then  made  by  some  of  the  others  present.  Profes- 
sor Remington  said:  "I  remember  when  I  was  also  a  student  un- 
der the  faculty  which  has  elicited  such  warm  expressions  of  regard 
from  Mr.  Wellcome.  Little  did  they  think  that  one  of  their  students 
would  be  numbered  among  the  great  and  distinguished  men  of 
our  art  and  science.  I  have  frequently  referred  our  classes  to  these 
young  men — Silas  M.  Burroughs  (Class  of  1877)  and  Henry  S. 
Wellcome — as  examples  of  the  best  type  of  Americans,  being  dis- 
tinguished for  ability,  originality,  pertinacity  and  adaptability.  They 
went  to  London,  the  most  conservative  city  in  the  world,  and  estab- 
lished a  business  which  was  successful  from  the  start,  and  which 
takes  rank  as  one  of  the  boldest  conceptions  in  commerce.  This  is 
certainly  a  most  happy  occasion,  and  I  can  only  regret  that  those 
dear  old  professors  whom  Mr.  Wellcome  loved  so  much  are  not 
here  to  witness  this  occasion.    Thirty  years  after  graduation  Mr.
