514  Minutes  of  the  College, 
tended  the  sessions  of  that  body,  and  that  the  deliberations  of  the  Association  were 
attended  with  the  usual  degree  of  interest.  The  arrangements,  socially,  were  of 
a  very  satisfactory  character,  and  gave  great  pleasure  to  all  who  participated  in 
•them. 
Mr.  Mclntyre  reported  that  the  subject  of  the  adoption  of  a  suitable  mark  to 
designate  unusual  doses,  which  had  been  referred  to  the  delegates,  was  brought  up 
before  the  Association,  and,  after  discussion,  was  referred  to  a  committee. 
Prof.  Maisch,  on  behalf  of  the  delegation  appointed  to  attend  the  Conference  of 
Pharmaceutical  Colleges,  reported  as  follows  : 
To  the  Pliiladelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
The  delegates  appointed  to  attend  the  Conference  of  the  Schools  of  Pharmacy,  respectfully  report  that 
the  same  was  held  in  Odd  Fellow's  Hall,  in  the  city  of  Boston,  on  the  evening  of  Thursday,  September 
•9th.  Mr.  Chas.  A.  Tufts,  of  Dover,  N,  H.,  was  elected  President,  and  John  M.  Maisch,  Secretary.  The 
Colleges  of  Pharmacy  of  Massachusetts,  New  York,  Philadelphia,  Maryland,  Cincinnati,  Louisville  and 
Chicago  had  appointed  delegates,  those  of  the  latter  College  being  absent.  Messrs.  Lyman  and  Gregory 
from  the  Ontario  College  of  Pharmacy,  were  invited  to  take  seats  in  the  Conference. 
A  letter  signed  by  B.  Lillard  was  laid  before  the  Conference,  and,  after  a  lengthy  discussion,  it  was  re- 
solved to  inform  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  that  the  Conference  was  in  possession  of 
documentary  evidence  that  the  Tennessee  College  of  Pharmacy  had  offered,  through  its  Treasurer  and 
acting  Secretary,  to  examine  candidates  and  graduate  without  their  attending  the  customary  courses, 
just  the  same  as  if  they  had  attended  all  the  lectures.  This  was  subsequently  done,  and  the  Association 
ordered  a  committee  to  be  appointed  to  inquire  whether  this  offer  had  been  authorized  by  that  College,  or 
whether  it  was  the  action  ot  the  officer  named. 
It  was  further  resolved,  that  the  next  Conference  be  held  on  the  evening  preceding  the  first  meeting  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  to  which  time  the  consideration  of  the  questions  propounded 
by  the  Philadelphia  and  Louisville  Colleges  of  Pharmacy  were  postponed.

The  members  of  the  College  in  attendance  were  much  gratified  by  the  presence 
of  two  of  their  oldest  associates,  Peter  Williamson  and  Samuel  F.  Troth,  both 
early  and  active  workers  in  the  cause  of  pharmaceutical  science. 
Samuel  F.  Troth  presented  to  the  College  for  the  Library  an  album,  which  had 
been  beautifully  bound  and  partly  filled  with  the  photographs  of  members  of  the 
College,  the  whole  encased  in  a  mahogany  box. 
On  motion,  the  gift  was  accepted,  and  the  thanks  of  the  College  were  ordered  to 
be  presented  to  the  donor  by  the  Secretary,  who  was  requested  to  furnish  him  with 
a  copy  of  this  Minute. 
[The  present  opportunity  is  embraced  to  request  those  members  who  have  not  yet 
furnished  their  photographs  to  the  College,  to  send  them  as  soon  as  possible  to

crystallized  and  in  the  amorphous  state,  berberina  sulphate,  nitrate  and  phosphate. 
These  were  also,  on  motion,  accepted,  and  the  thanks  of  the  College  ordered  to 
be  presented  to  Mr.  Lloyd.

the  College,  a  very  complete  herbarium,  prepared  and  arranged  with  great  care,  and 
in  an  excellent  state  of  preservation.  It  was  accompanied  with  a  complete  cata- 
logue, and  consists  of  over  four  thousand  species.
