The  Committee  on  the  Time  of  the  Next  Annual  Meeting  reported 
in  favor  of  convening  it  on  the  second  Tuesday  of  September,  1876, 
at  3  o'clock  P.  M.,  which  proposition  was,  after  some  discussion, 
adopted. 
Votes  of  thanks  were  passed  to  our  brethren  and  friends  in  Boston  for 
their  courteous  attention,  liberality  and  hospitality  ;  to  the  press  for 
their  correct  and  full  reports,  and  to  Orlando  Tompkins,  Esq.,  for  his 
invitation  to  visit  the  Boston  theatre. 
A  communication  from  the  Conference  of  Schools  of  Pharmacy  was 
read,  stating  that  they  are  in  possession  of  documentary  evidence  that 
the  Tennessee  College  of  Pharmacy  had  offered,  through  its  Treasurer 
and  acting  Secretary,  to  examine  candidates,  and  graduate  them  without 
their  attending  the  customary  courses,  just  the  same  as  if  they  had 
attended  all  the  lectures."  The  evidence  being  demanded,  the  letter 
signed  "  B.  Lillard,  Treasurer  and  acting  Secretary,"  was  produced  and 
read.  After  some  discussion,  a  motion  of  Prof.  Bedford  was  carried, 
that  a  Committee  of  three  be  appointed  to  communicate  with  the  offi- 
cers of  the  Tennessee  College  of  Pharmacy  and  inquire  whether  the 
communication  in  possession  of  the  Secretary,  and  of  which  a  copy  is 
to  be  furnished  with  this  resolution,  is  authorized  by  the  College  or 
whether  it  is  the  individual  action  of  the  Treasurer  and  Acting  Secretary. 
Mr.  J.  Fehr  alleged  that  some  important  remarks  made  by  him  at  the 
Louisville  meeting  had  been  omitted  from  the  published  Proceedings, 
and  complained,  that  a  patented  toilet  article,  exhibited  by  him  last  year, 
had  not  been  mentioned  in  the  report  on  the  exhibition  ;  on  motion  of 
Mr.  Lillard,  a  Committee  of  three  was  directed  to  be  appointed  to  in- 
quire into  and  report  on  these  complaints. 
On  motion  of  the  Business  Committe,  a  Committee  of  three  was 
appointed  to  report  on  changes  of  the  By-Laws,  and  print  said  action 
for  the  use  of  members  at  the  next  annual  meeting. 
Dr.  A.  W.  Miller  was  elected  Local  Secretary  for  the  ensuing  year, 
and  seventeen  candidates  were  admitted  members  of  the  Association.
