Dear  Dr.  LaWall: 
I  am  in  receipt  of  the  invitation  of  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  and  Science  to  attend  the  Centennial  Cele- 
bration of  Founders'  Day. 
I  only  wish  that  I  could  attend  and  meet  many  of  the 
men  and  women  who  will  bring  back  memories  of  early  phar- 
macy to  Philadelphia.  I  know  that  I  could  learn  much  and 
derive  a  great  deal  of  enthusiasm  from-  my  work  by  being 
present  at  such  a  gathering.  I  know  that  it  will  have  the  same 
effect  of  giving  enthusiasm  to  the  members  of  your  faculty 
and  go  far  towards  bringing  future  success  to  your  College. 
I  am  ever, 
Sincerely  yours, 
(Signed)  Edward  Spease."

Mr.  Howard  B.  French,  President, 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science, 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 
My  dear  Air.  French : 
Thank  you  very  much  for  your  kind  invitation  to  attend 
the  Centennial  Celebration  of  Founders'  Day. 
The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  has 
an  honorable  and  enviable  record.  Its  great  teachers  and  its 
wise  and  progressive  board  of  trustees  have,  I  verily  believe, 
done  more  for  the  advancement  of  pharmacy  as  a  profession 
than  any  other  single  agency  of  which  I  have  knowledge. 
The  United  States  Pharmacopoeia  and  all  that  it  stands 
for  in  the  way  of  scientific  progress  is  in  large  measure  the 
product  of  the  scientific  zeal,  the  indefatigable  industry  and 
the  broad  outlook  of  men  identified  with  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  and  their  influence  upon 
pupils  and  confreres  associated  in  the  work.
