Wellcome  comes  to  his  Alma  Mater  to  acknowledge  the  debt  he 
owed  to  the  College  and  Faculty  at  that  time." 
Mr.  Edwin  M.  Boring  referred  to  the  meeting  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  held  in  Boston  in  1875,  and  said  that  on 
his  return  he  stopped  in  New  York  City  to  visit  Mr.  Wellcome,  who 
was  then  associated  with  Caswell,  Hazard  &  Co. 
Professor  Sadtler  spoke  of  the  exhibit  made  by  Burroughs,  Well- 
come &  Co.,  at  the  St.  Louis  Exposition,  and  said  that  it  furnished 
a  most  striking  display  of  the  products  of  research,  and  was  not  ex- 
celled by  that  of  any  other  exhibit.  He  also  called  attention  to  the 
Wellcome  Chemical  Research  Laboratories  in  London  and  the  ex- 
cellent work  which  was  being  done  under  the  direction  of  Dr. 
Frederick  B.  Power. 
Professor  Lowe  referred  to  the  Wellcome  Research  Laboratory  at

Mr.  Wiegand  moved  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  tendered  Mr.  Well- 
come for  his  kindness  and  thoughtfulness  in  presenting  the  loving 
cup.  This  motion  was  unanimously  adopted  after  being  amended 
by  Professor  Remington  to  the  effect  that  a  committee  be  appointed 
to  have  the  resolution  suitably  engrossed  and  sent  to  Mr.  Wellcome. 
In  concluding  the  meeting  Mr.  French  said :  "A  graduate  who 
meets  with  such  unusual  success  is  a  great  credit  to  his  Alma  Mater. 
I  may  say  that  I  would  not  exchange  the  education  and  training  I 
received  at  this  College  for  any  sum  of  money." 
Mr.  Wellcome  was  entertained  by  a  number  of  his  friends  in 
Philadelphia.  He  and  Mrs.  Wellcome  were  guests  at  luncheon  at
