SCHOLARSHIPS. 
By  L.  E.  Sayre. 
He  favored  the  establishment  of  the  foreign  scholarship  proposed  last  year 
by  Professor  Patch.  He  believed  it  would  be  a  good  way  to  import  new  ideas. 
The  paper  was  accepted  and  referred  to  a  committee  of  Messrs.  Sayre,  Oldberg 
and  Ebert.  They  were  to  consider  the  feasibility  of  carrying  out  the  plan 
and  were  to  report  at  the  next  annual  meeting. 
COLLEGE  ATTENDANCE  AND   REGISTRATION  REQUIREMENTS. 
By  Prof.  Beal. 
These  subjects  were  two  of  the  headings  of  the  sheet  sent  out  by  the  section. 
Secretary  Hallberg  then  read  the  following  papers  by  title  : 
"Pharmaceutical  Degrees — What  Should  They  Mean,"  by  Dr.  Bartley ; 
"  Laws  for  the  Prevention  of  the  Adulteration  of  Drugs,"  by  Professor  Fennel; 
"  The  Position  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  Towards  Pharma- 
ceutical Education,"  by  Professor  Kremers  ;  "Registration  Requirements  of 
American  Pharmacy  Laws,"  by  Professor  Beal;  and  "The  Metric  System— Its 
History  and  Introduction,"  by  R.  A.  Sauerhering. 
The  papers  were  all  accepted  and  referred  to  the  Publication  Committee. 
Prof.  Hallberg  was  installed  as  the  chairman  of  the  section  for  the  ensuing 
year,  and  Prof.  Beal  as  the  secretary.  W.  R.  Ogier  was  selected  by  them  as 
one  of  their  associates  ;  the  other  two  are  yet  to  be  chosen.  Prof.  Oldberg 
moved  that  the  section  tender  the  officers  of  the  past  year  a  vote  of  thanks  for 
their  efficient  services.  It  was  so  ordered.  The  section  also  voted  its  thanks 
to  Mr.  John  Koehan  as  a  recognition  of  his  herbarium  of  Colorado  plants, 
which  he  displayed  in  the  meeting  room.    The  section  then  adjourned. 
FINAL  GENERAL,  SESSION. 
The  final  general  session,  which  had  been  advertised  on  the  programme 
to  meet  at  10  a.m.,  on  Wednesday,  August  21st,  convened  on  Tuesday  even- 
ing, at  8.30.  President  Simpson  called  the  meeting  to  order  and  directed 
that  the  minutes  of  the  last  session  of  council  be  read.  At  this  session 
Mr.  Alpers  had  moved  that  any  member  buying  five  copies  or  more  of  the 
separately  bound  National  Formulary  be  allowed  the  dealer's  discount  of 
one-third.  Mr.  Sheppard  moved  that  the  price  of  the  volumes  of  Proceed- 
ings prior  to  1890  be  reduced  to  one-half  of  the  price  now  asked.  Both 
motions  prevailed.  The  minutes  of  the  council  were  approved.  It  was  moved 
and  carried  that  the  title  Permanent  Secretary  be  changed  to  General  Secretary . 
Prof.  Hallberg  read  his  revision  of  the  by-laws,  the  greater  part  of  which  was 
adopted.  It  was  agreed  to  make  the  chairmen  of  the  sections  and  of  the 
committee  on  the  revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  members  of  council, 
thus  increasing  the  membership  of  that  body  from  seventeen  to  twenty-one. 
It  was  moved  and  carried  that  the  local  secretary  be  made  a  member  of  the 
transportation  committee  and  its  chairman.  After  paying  yearly  dues  for  forty 
years  it  was  agreed  that  an  active  member  should  be  entitled  to  life  member- 
ship. To  necessitate  an  extension  of  the  life  of  railroad  tickets  to  the  places 
of  future  meetings,  a  motion  prevailed  to  add  sufficient  social  features  to 
accomplish  this. 
The  permanent  secretary  said  he  had  received  the  report  of  the  reporter  on 
progress  of  pharmacy,  and  that  the  reporter  for  the  past  year,  Henry  Kraemer,
