view,  a  motion  by  Prof.  Judge,  that  evening  sessions  be  held  on  the 
•days  when  the  Association  met  for  business,  was  carried  by  89  affirm-

Arrangements  to  invite  to  seats  on  the  platform  the  two  surviving 
original  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  unani- 
mously carried  ;  the  gentlemen  are  Daniel  B.  Smith,  the  first  Presi- 
dent of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  1852,  and  Peter 
Williamson,  the  Acting  Secretary  at  the  organization  of  the  College 
named,  in  1821. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Credentials  was  now  read.  Dele- 
gates were  accredited  from  twelve  colleges  of  pharmacy  (Philadelphia, 
New  York,  Cincinnati,  Massachusetts,  Maryland,  Chicago,  Louis- 
ville, St.  Louis,  National,  Tennessee,  California  and  Ontario),  nine 
State  pharmaceutical  associations  (New  Jersey,  Rhode  Island,  Maine, 
South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Connecticut,  Vermont,  Michigan  and  New 
Hampshire),  six  local  associations  (Newark,  Camden,  Washington, 
Richmond,  Chicago  Drug  Clerks',  and  German  Apothecaries',  of  New 
York)  and  nine  alumni  associations  (Philadelphia,  New  York,  New 
York  Alumni  Association  of  Philadelphia  College,  Maryland,  Massa- 
chusetts, Chicago,  Louisville,  St.  Louis  and  Cincinnati). 
Seventy-six  candidates  for  membership  were  reported  by  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  and  unanimously  elected  \  Messrs.  E.  T.  Dobbins 
and  Wm.  Saunders  acting  as  tellers. 
The  reports  of  the  standing  and  special  committees  were  called  in 
and  laid  upon  the  table  for  future  consideration.  The  report  of  the 
Executive  Committee  being  called  up,  was  read  by  the  chairman,  Geo. 
W.  Kennedy.  Amongst  the  work  performed  by  this  committee  dur- 
ing the  year  was  the  carrying  out  of  the  instruction  received  at  the 
previous  meeting — to  design  and  get  up  a  badge  for  the  members  of 
the  association  ;  it  consists  of  a  trilobed  leaf,  upon  which  is  impressed 
a  mortar  and  a  Liebig's  condenser,  the  latter  bearing  upon  the  cooler 
the  inscription,  "Am.  Phar.  Ass'n  ;  "  finished  in  nickel-plated  metal  it 
may  be  obtained  from  the  Secretary,  at  50  cents  each.  The  officers 
and  the  committees  actively  at  work  during  the  meeting  were  likewise 
provided  with  badges. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  gave  an  account  of  the  work  connected 
with  his  office,  and  suggested  that  several  special  committees  be  made 
standing  committees.
