224  Minutes  of  the  College. 
In  this  eonnection  it  is  proper  to  mention  that,  aside  from  the  reports  of  their  meetings,  two  papers 
have  been  published  after  having  been  read  before  the  New  York  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  a  body  composed  of  graduates  of  this  College  residing  in  the  city  of  New  York 
and  vicinity.  JOHN  M.  MAISCH,  Editor. 
Philadelphia,  March  24th,  187b. 
The  Business  Editor's  report  to  the  Committee  on  Publication,  detailing  all  the 
operations  of  his  department,  was  read  by  Mr.  Bullock.  It  is  a  very  satisfactory 
exhibit,  and  continues  to  show  the  judicious  management  of  Mr.  Wolle. 
Mr.  Bullock  further  read  the  rep,ort  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  Publishing  Com- 
mittee. It  shows  a  sound  financial  condition,  and  exhibits  a  steady  improvement 
from  year  to  year. 
The  report  was,  on  motion,  accepted. 
The  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  the  Sinking  Fund  was  rendered  by  Thos.  S. 
Wiegand,  showing  a  balance  in  his  hands  of  $907.94. 
Mr.  Bullock,  on  behalf  of  the  Committee  on  the  Centennial,  reported  subscrip- 
tions nearly  sufficient  to  accomplish  their  purposes,  and  with  a  slight  effort  on  the 
part  of  those  who  have  not  yet  contributed,  the  amount  necessary  would  soon  be 
obtained.    It  was  the  intention  of  the  committee  to  fit  up  the  College  generally. 
A  gentleman,  a  native  of  this  city,  had  been  engaged  by  them  to  attend  daily  at 
the  College  during  the  Exhibition,  who  is  conversant  with  the  French  and  German 
languages. 
The  committee  would  request  the  members  to  interest  themselves,  and  call  at  the 
College  and  witness  the  work  being  performed. 
A  printed  letter  from  the  "  National  College  of  Pharmacy,''''  dated  Washington, 
March  22d,  1876,  and  addressed  to  this  College,  was  read.  This  letter  treated  upon 
the  disagreement  which  has  lately  arisen  between  some  colleges  of  pharmacy 
in  the  United  States,  relative  to  the  conferring  of  degrees  and  titles.  The  matter 
was  commented  on  by  Messrs.  Maisch,  Bullock  and  Remington,  but  as  the  subject 
was  thought  to  be  one  requiring  more  mature  deliberation  than  could  be  given  to  it 
at  this  meeting,  a  motion  was  made  and  adopted  to  refer  the  letter  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees  for  their  consideration. 
George  W.  Earl,  a  member  of  the  College,  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Centennial  Preparations  one  hundred  pounds  of  white  lead,  which  was, 
on  motion,  accepted,  and  Mr.  Earl  is  entitled  to  the  thanks  of  this  College  for  the 
donation. 
A  letter  from  William  Stahler,  of  Norristown,  Pa.,  communicating  the  intelli- 
gence of  the  death  of  J.  Howard  McCrea,  a  member  of  the  College,  was  read  and 
referred  to  the  Committee  on  Deceased  Members. 
The  Treasurer  reported  the  name  of  a  member  who  was  five  years  in  arrears  to 
the  College  5    on  motion  his  name  was  ordered  to  be  stricken  from  the  roll. 
The  Treasurer  further  reported  that  August  Hohl  had  sent  in  his  resignation, 
which  was,  on  motion,  accepted. 
Prof.  Remington,  in  a  few  suitable  remarks,  presented  to  the  College,  from  a 
number  of  members,  a  portrait  in  oil  of  the  late  Professor  Procter,  stating  that  it 
was  previously  the  intention  to  have  had  a  bust  prepared,  but  owing  to  some  difficul- 
ties, which  finally  proved  insurmountable,  the  project  was  abandoned,  and  the
