158  Founders' Day  Celebration.  {Am£3T  he!™1" 
a  moving  screen  picture  was  taken  of  Carpenters'  Hall  and  the 
audience  leaving,  and  this  will  likewise  be  preserved  as  a  historical 
record  of  the  event. 
In  the  evening,  the  main  commemorative  services  were  held  in 
the  College  auditorium.  This  room  and  the  gallery  were  filled  with 
members,  friends,  students  and  alumni,  gathered  to  pay  tribute  to 
the  founders  and  the  achievements  of  the  past  century. 
President  French  welcomed  the  guests,  many  of  whom  had 
come  from  New  York,  Washington,  Baltimore  and  other  distant 
places,  and  stated  the  purpose  of  the  gathering. 
Dean  Charles  H.  La  Wall  then  read  a  paper  on  the  founding 
of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  in  which  the 
events  which  led  up  to  the  initial  meeting  and  the  formation  of  the 
College  were  related. 
The  next  speaker  of  the  evening  was  Prof.  Henry  Vin  Arny  of 
the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  Columbia  University,  New  York  City. 
The  title  of  his  address  was  "Pharmacy  100  Years  Ago." 
As  Prof.  Amy  ceased  speaking,  Mayor  Moore  arrived,  and 
when  he  was  introduced  by  the  chairman,  received  a  hearty  ovation. 
In  the  course  of  his  remarks  the  Mayor  referred  to  the  efficient 
work  in  behalf  of  humanity  that  this  College  has  performed.  He 
said  "That  this  school  has  lived  for  100  years  proves  its  endurance 
and  its  quality."  He  promised  his  personal  assistance  and  influence 
in  seeing  that  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 
is  moved  from  its  present  location  to  a  more  desirable  one.  He 
declared  that  "It  is  wonderful  to  think  of  the  world-wide  influence 
of  this  institution  from  whose  walls  have  gone  forth  not  only  men, 
but  thoughts,  the  contributions  of  genius.  The  College  should  not 
have  remained  in  its  present  environment  so  long.  It  should  have 
been  moved  years  ago.  I  can  only  hope  that  in  some  way  the 
Mayor,  long  before  his  retirement  from  office,  may  be  able  to 
assist  in  having  this  institution  housed  in  a  building  more  suitable 
for  a  school  of  its  dignity  and  service.  This  is  due  the  College 
for  the  work  it  has  performed  and  for  the  sake  of  its  splendid 
'student  body." 
The  remarks  of  the  Mayor  were  construed  as  showing  his  pur- 
pose to  co-operate  with  the  officers  of  the  College  in  endeavoring 
to  secure  a  site  for  the  new  buildings  on  or  near  the  Parkway. 
The  closing  address  of  the  evening  was  made  by  Prof.  Samuel 
P.  Sadtler,  Emeritus  Professor  of  Chemistry  of  the  Philadelphia
