350  Report  of  iooth  Annual  Meeting.      | Am*M°ay  Sn™' 
which  a  large  number  of  descendants  of  the  original  incorporators 
were  present.  Your  President  presided,  and  the  minutes  of  the  first 
three  meetings  of  the  College,  held  in  the  historical  building  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1821,  were  read  by  your  Secretary,  Dr.  Charles  A.  Weidemann, 
after  which  Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  Chairman  of  your  Board  of 
Trustees,  gave  a  historical  address.  When  the  meeting  adjourned  ? 
motion  picture  of  those  leaving  the  hall  was  taken  by  the  Stanley 
News  Service,  and  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  this  film  has  been 
exhibited  in  over  200  theatres  in  Pennsylvania,  and  also  was  used 
by  a  national  service  throughout  the  United  States.  The  College 
has  ordered  a  copy  of  the  film  and  will,  show  it  during  the  June  cele- 
brations, and  will  file  it  in  the  fire-proof  as  a  historical  record. 
"At  eight  o'clock  on  the  evening  of  February  23rd,  a  large  meet- 
ing was  held  in  the  Auditorium  of  your  College,  at  which  your  Presi- 
dent again  presided.  The  meeting  was  addressed  by  the  Hon.  J. 
Hampton  Moore,  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia.  An  interesting 
address  was  made  by  Dean  LaWall  regarding  the  'Founding  of  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science.'  Prof.  H.  V.  Arny, 
of  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy,  delivered  an  address  on 
'Pharmacy  100  Years  Ago  and  Today.'  Emeritus  Professor  Samuel 
T.  Sadtler,  gave  an  address  on  'The  Part  That  Pharmacists  Have 
Played  in  the  Development  of  Chemistry.' 
"The  meeting  was  full  of  enthusiasm  and  adjourned  at  11  P.  M. 
"During  the  early  part  of  June  your  Centennial  will  be  cele- 
brated, and  from  the  present  until  that  time  the  most  active  co- 
operation of  all  interested  parties  must  be  given  to  your  Centennial 
Committee.  Much  has  to  be  done.  Great  things  have  to  be  accomplished 
and  your  executive  looks  forward  to  a  successful  issue  as  the  result 
of  your  efforts.  He  predicts  that  your  College,  starting  as  it  does 
upon  the  second  century  of  its  existence,  will  have  a  great  and  bril- 
liant future,  and  his  hope  is  that  those  who  will  follow  will  be  as 
actively  and  zealously  interested  in  the  institution  and  will  as  loyally 
support  its  efforts  as  those  who  have  been  connected  with  it  in  the 
past.  To  him  it  has  a  great  future,  not  only  as  an  educational  insti- 
tution, but  as  a  leader  in  the  science  of  pharmacy  and  allied  branches, 
and  also  in  keeping  Philadelphia  in  the  forefront  as  the  medical 
center  of  this  country  and  even  of  the  world. 
"Your  President  wishes  to  state  that  Miss  Mary  A.  Dobbins,  as 
a  memorial  to  her  brother,  Edwin  T.  Dobbins,  a  graduate  of  your 
College  and  a  former  member  of  your  Board  of  Trustees,  has  con- 
tributed $20,000  for  the  establishment  of  a  library  fund,  the  income 
from  which  is  to  be  used  for  the  support  of  and  additions  to  your 
library." 
The  Committee  on  Nominations  then  presented  its  usual  report.
