PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  quarterly  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  was  held  December  31st,  the  President,  How- 
ard B.  French,  in  the  chair.  Nineteen  members  were  present. 
The  minutes  of  the  semi-annual  meeting,  held  September  24th,  were 
read  and  approved  as  read.  The  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
for  the  months  of  October,  November  and  December  were  read  by 
the  Registrar,  W.  Nelson  Stem,  and  approved  as  read. 
The  consideration  of  the  proposed  addition  to  the  By-Laws  sub- 
mitted at  the  September  meeting  (and  published  in  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  for  November,  1900,  page  562)  was  then 
taken  up  and,  after  slight  amendments,  was  adopted.  The  Revised 
Code  of  Ethics  was  then  taken  up  for  action  (a  printed  copy  hav- 
ing previously  been  mailed  to  the  members),  and  after  consideration 
by  section  was  adopted  with  ,  slight  alterations  in  the  phraseology 
of  section  (4)  four. 
Mr.  Beringer  presented  a  printed  copy  of  the  newly  revised  By- 
Laws,  and  as  this  completed  the  work  of  the  Committee,  asked 
that  they  be  discharged.  The  report  was  accepted  and  the  Com- 
mittee discharged  with  the  thanks  of  the  members. 
The  President  reported  that  he  had  asked  the  solicitors  of  the 
College  for  an  opinion  as  to  the  advisability  of  copyrighting  the 
name  and  seal  of  the  College,  who  reported  against  the  advisability 
of  it,-as  under  existing  laws  it  would  not  prevent  any  one  from 
using  the  name  of  the  College  for  business  purposes. 
Announcement  was  made  of  the  death  of  our  fellow-member, 
David  Preston,  which  occurred  on  the  22d  of  October,  at  Fallston, 
Md.  Mr.  Preston  was  elected  a  member  in  1874.  No  further 
business,  the  meeting,  on  motion,  adjourned. 
C.  A.  Weidemann,  M.D., 
Secretary.
