nected with  the  importation  of  this  collection  were  looked  after  by 
Messrs.  Schimmel  &  Co.,  of  Leipzig,  and  by  Messrs.  Fritzsche 
Brothers,  of  New  York,  who  also  defrayed  the  expenses  connected 
therewith,  and  for  which  the  thanks  of  the  Section  were  voted

nesday, and  held  two  sessions.  Francis  B.  Hays  was  called  to  the 
chair  while  the  address  of  the  Chairman  was  presented.  The 
address,  which  gave  a  resume  of  the  year's  progress,  was  clear-cut 
and  dealt  with  the  educational  problem  in  pharmacy  in  a  way  which 
all  those  who  have  this  subject  at  heart  would  wish  to  have  it 
treated.  It  was  pointed  out  that  pharmacy  has  unquestionably 
entered  upon  a  new  era  in  educational  requirements,  and  the  im- 
portance of  establishing  definite  entrance  and  curriculum  standards 
in  the  prerequisite  laws  hereafter  to  be  enacted  was  emphasized.
