W.  J.  Sturgeon  is  the  new  member  of  the  Executive  Committee. 
The  State  Board  of  Pharmacy  made  an  interesting  and  valu- 
able report,  in  which  it  was  stated  that  90  per  cent,  of  the  graduates 
of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  had  been  successful  in 
the  examinations  held  by  the  Board  in  the  preceding  year.  The 
chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Papers  and  Queries,  Professor  F. 
P.  Stroup,  presented,  as  usual,  a  large  number  of  important  papers, 
about  40  in  all,  thus  keeping  the  Pennsylvania  Association  in  the 
van  of  all  other  associations  in  this  important  work.  The  enter- 
tainment, as  usual,  was  varied  and  enjoyable. 
The  President  appointed  the  following  as  delegates  to  the  meet- 
ing of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  to  be  held  at 
Nashville,  Tenn.,  August  18:  Prof.  Joseph  P.  Remington,  chair- 
man ;  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer,  Prof.  C.  B.  Lowe,  George  M.  Beringer, 
Prof.  E.  F.  Cook,  with  power  to  appoint  three  of  their  number  as 
members  of  the  House  of  Delegates.  Professor  Henry  Kraemer 
submitted  the  names  of  five  gentlemen  for  Honorary  membership, 
which,  according  to  the  rules,  lie  over  for  action  till  the  next 
meeting  of  the  College. 
The  Registrar  submitted  the  name  of  an  associate  member  for 
election  to  active  membership.  The  application  was  referred  to 
Committee  on  Membership.  The  diploma  of  Mr.  Schively,  of  the 
class  of  1842,  was  presented  to  the  College  by  Mr.  B.  C.  Clapham. 
Professor  Henry  Kraemer  reported  having  received  from  Doctor 
Jose  L.  Alacan,  of  the  University  of  Havana,  two  handsome  coffee 
plants.    The  thanks  of  the  College  were  rendered  both  the  donors. 
Professor  Henry  Kraemer  presented  a  number  of  photographs 
and  a  portrait  of  Miss  Florence  Yaple  (a  life  member  of  the  Col- 
lege, and  long  associated  in  the  management  of  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy).  This  portrait  was  made  from  a  photo- 
graph taken  by  Professor  Kraemer  several  years  ago  and  was 
painted  by  her  friend,  Miss  Florence  Newton,  who  made  the  por- 
trait of  Dr.  Susan  Hayhurst,  presented  to  the  College  in  191 1.  He 
asked  that  the  portrait  of  Miss  Yaple  be  hung  in  the  ladies'  room 
of  the  College ;  so  ordered. 
Mr.  Beringer  called  the  attention  of  the  meeting  to  the  fact  that 
at  this  time  the  Revision  Committee  on  Essential  Oils  of  the  U.  S. 
P.  were  in  session  at  the  College,  and  suggested  we  invite  the  gen- 
tlemen to  meet  the  members  present.    This  was  favorably  received,
