Committee  on  Nominations.  Reported  a  list  of  nominees  to  be 
voted  for  as  officers  and  trustees. 
On  behalf  of  the  estate  of  Professor  Joseph  Remington,  Pro- 
fessor La  Wall  presented  a  large  photograph  album  containing  the 
portraits  of  many  of  his  prominent  pharmaceutical  associates ;  also 
a  number  of  pieces  of  apparatus  used  in  the  lectures  of  the  late  dean. 
The  thanks  of  the  college  were  tendered  the  donors. 
On  motion  of  Professor  LaWall  the  suggestion  of  President 
French  that  a  memorial  tablet  to  "  our  boys  "  be  placed  on  the  walls 
of  the  college,  was  referred  to  the  board  of  trustees  for  action. 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  chairman  of  the  board  of  trustees,  pre- 
sented amendments  to  the  charter  that  were  deemed  necessary  in 
view  of  the  many  advances  made  in  the  college  work  since  the 
charter  was  amended  in  1878.  These  amendments,  four  in  number, 
were  thoroughly  discussed,  acted  upon,  and  severally  adopted,  as 
follows : 
1.  That  the  title  of  the  college  be  changed  from  the  "Philadel- 
phia College  "  to  "  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Applied 
Sciences." 
2.  "  That  all  restrictions  as  to  the  amount  of  income  from  any 
estate  of  the  college  be  removed." 
3.  "  That  courses  comparative  to  those  given  by  universities  and 
colleges  in  their  scientific  departments  and  by  schools  of  applied 
sciences  be  instituted,  and  that  degrees  be  awarded  to  our  graduates 
from  such  courses  agreeing  with  those  awarded  by  such  educa- 
tional institutions  for  equivalent  courses,  and  honorary  degrees  in 
pharmacy  and  in  the  sciences  upon  those  meriting  such  distinction." 
4.  "  That  the  number  of  trustees  be  increased  from  eighteen  to 
twenty-four." 
The  officers  of  the  college  and  the  solicitors  were  empowered  to 
take  the  necessary  steps  to  secure  these  amendments  to  the  charter.
