THE  PITTSBURG  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  subscribers  to  the  fund  for  the  new  Pittsburg  College  of  Pharmacy  build- 
ing met  on  Thursday,  February  21st,  in  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  rooms,  for 
the  purpose  of  forming  a  permanent  organization. 
The  officers  elected  were  :  Wm.  G.  Schirmer,  President ;  Theodore  E.  Ihrig, 
Recording  Secretary  ;  Joseph  P.  Urben,  Treasurer  ;  and  S.  S.  Holland,  Louis 
Emanuel  and  A.  J.  Kaercher,  Vice-Presidents. 
Prof.  F.  T.  Aschman,  Louis  Emanuel  and  E.  A.  Schaefer  were  appointed  a 
committee  to  draw  up  a  constitution  and  by-laws. 
One  of  the  objeats  of  the  organization  is  to  form  a  Druggists'  Club  for  the 
furtherance  of  social  and  trade  interests.  It  is  hoped  that  all  the  druggists  in 
the  county  will  become  members  of  the  club,  which  will  own  and  control  the 
proposed  new  College  building,  which  will  contain  the  rooms  of  the  Association 
also.  By  thus  forming  a  club  with  a  financial  standing  it  is  hoped  that  much 
can  be  accomplished  in  the  way  of  relieving  the  present  evils  of  the  trade. 
The  following  committee  was  appointed  to  solicit  membership  :  John  C. 
Smith  and  Richard  Mierzwa,  Lawrenceville  ;  George  L.  Bimber,  South  Side  ;
