EDITORIAL  DEPARTMENT. 
The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.— In  another  i^lace  we 
publish  the  President's  official  notice  concerning  the  next  meeting,  and 
invite  thereto  the  attention  of  our  readers.  We  have  been  informed  by  the 
Entertainment  Committee  that  most  raih'oads  have  consented  to  issue 
round  trip  tickets  at  rates  equal  to  about  one  and  one-third  fare ;  the  parti- 
culars concerning  these  arrangements  will  be  given  in  the  circular  to  be 
issued  by  the  committee  at  an  early  date.  At  the  request  of  the  committee 
we  have  applied  for  similar  concession  from  Philadelphia  and  vicinity,  and 
have  received  the  assurance  that  excursion  tickets  will  be  issued  from 
points  on  the  line  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  upon  card  orders.  The 
date  to  which  the  return  coupons  will  be  made  good  has  as  yet  not  been 
fully  decided  upon  ;  but  it  is  likely  that  the  tickets,  going  and  returning, 
will  not  only  enable  the  holder  to  attend  both  the  convention  of  the 
National  Retail  Druggists'  Association  and  the  meeting  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  but  likewise  allow  a  few  days  before  and  after 
these  meetings  to  devote  to  relaxation  from  labor.  Particulars  will  be 
announced  in  our  next  issue. 
A  number  of  the  Eastern  members  will  probably  make  a  sea  voyage  from 
New  York  to  Norfolk  or  Newport  News,  thence  by  rail  to  Washington. 
This  trip  is  the  same  as  that  so  heartily  enjoyed  by  many  of  those  who 
attended  the  Richmond  meeting  in  1873. 
Fred.  B.  Power,  Ph.G.,  Ph.D.,  recently  Professor  of  Analytical  Chem- 
istry in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  has  received  and  accepted 
a  call  from  the  University  of  Wisconsin  to  take  charge  of  the  School  of 
Pharmacy  which  is  about  to  be  organized  as  a  part  of  the  institution 
named.  Professor  Power  takes  to  his  new  field  of  labor  the  good  wishes  of 
his  numerous  friends,  who  appreciate  his  earnest  and  unremitting  toil  in  the 
cause  of  pharmaceutical  science.  The  new  school  is  the  result  of  a  confer- 
ence between  the  officers  of  the  State  University  and  the  Wisconsin  Phar- 
maceutical Association  (see  "Am.  Jour.  Phar.,"  1882,  p.  474),  the  initiative 
having  been  taken  by  the  latter  body. 
The  Committee  on  Instruction  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
has  taken  measures  to  fill  the  vacancy  created  by  Prof.  Power's  resignation, 
so  that  no  interruption  in  laboratory  instruction  will  take  place ;  the  plan 
will  be  submitted  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  final  action.
