The  Association  of  the  Alumni  of  the  Massachusetts  College  of 
Pharmacy. — A  letter  from  Thos.  Doliber,  Secretary  of  that  Association, 
informs  that  J.  R.  Cheney,  T.  Doliber,  J.  0.  Lowd,  C.  A.  Tufts,  and  A.  B. 
Warfield  have  been  elected  delegates  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  to  meet  in  Baltimore  on  the  13th  of  September  next. 
Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy. — By  the  following  extract  from  the 
Louisville  Commercial  of  August  8th,  it  will  be  perceived  that  our  Ken- 
tucky confreres  are  waking  up  to  the  necessity  of  helping  themselves  in 
the  matter  of  education.  The  movement  noticed  below,  though  only  for* 
organization,  is  a  proper  preliminary  to  a  school  of  pharmacy,  and  it  is  to 
be  hoped  that  at  an  early  date  such  a  school  will  be  opened. 
"  The  necessity  of  a  college  of  pharmacy  in  our  midst  has  long  been  felt 
by  the  pharmaceutists  of  Louisville,  but  it  is  only  within  the  last  few 
months  that  steps  have  been  taken  to  organize  such  an  institution.  It 
will  be  seen  below  that  the  druggists  of  Louisville  and  the  cities  of  New 
Albany  and  Jeflfersonville  held  a  meeting  in  the  lecture  hall  of  the  Louis- 
ville College  of  Medicine,  at  which  this  organization  was  effected,  and  to 
judge  from  the  enthusiasm  and  unanimity  of  action  manifested,  the  Louis- 
ville College  of  Pharmacy  will  be  a  success  from  its  very  inception. 
"The  objects  of  the  college  are  the  cultivation,  improvement,  and  diffusion 
ot  the  science  and  art  of  pharmacy  by  instituting  and  maintaining  a  school 
of  pharmacy,  and  by  the  interchange  of  knowledge  among  its  members 
and  the  profession  in  general.  It  is  proposed  to  hold  monthly  pharma- 
ceutic meetings,  at  which  all  matters  of  interest  to  pharmacy  are  brought 
up  and  discussed  ;  and  this  will  probably  be  the  extent  of  usefulness  of 
the  college  at  present.  By  proper  energy,  however,  it  is  hoped  that  a 
school  may  be  opened  at  an  early  date,  and  to  this  end  the  members  of 
the  college  have  pledged  their  heartiest  co-operation  and  support. 
"  Below  is  appended  a  communication  from  the  recording  secretary  :
