COMPLIMENTARY  SUPPER  OF  THE  FACULTY. 
The  professors'  farewell  supper  to  the  graduates  was  given  on  Tuesday  even- 
ing, April  16th,  in  the  Museum  of  the  College.  Many  of  the  officers  and 
trustees  of  the  College  were  present,  as  also  other  invited  guests.  The  supper 
having  been  served,  the  remainder  of  the  evening  was  devoted  to  toast-making 
and  other  matters  of  interest.  The  President's  cup,  which  has  already  been 
alluded  to,  was  presented  on  this  occasion.  It  is  of  silver,  and  is  in  the  form  of 
a  loving  cup,  being  12  inches  in  height  and  7^  inches  in  diameter,  and  is  in- 
scribed in  an  appropriate  manner.  The  cup  was  received  on  behalf  of  the 
class  by  Victor  C.  Michels. 
A  very  gratifying  feature  of  the  occasion  was  the  presentation  to  the  College  of 
a  portrait  painting  of  the  late  Charles  August  Heinitsh,  on  behalf  of  his  friends 
of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  by  Joseph  L.  Lemberger, 
who  gave  a  brief  but  impressive  sketch  of  the  life  and  character  of  Mr. 
Heinitsh. 
This  was  succeeded  by  another  interesting  presentation,  viz.,  a  portrait  of  the 
late  Dr.  Edward  R.  Squibb,  which  was  presented  on  behalf  of  his  family  by  Prof. 
Joseph  P.  Remington.  Professor  Remington  having  enjoyed  a  long  personal 
acquaintance  with  Dr.  Squibb,  spoke  in  a  manner  befitting  his  work  and  at- 
tainments, and  his  influence  on  pharmacy  and  medicine.  The  President  ac- 
cepted both  of  these  presents  on  behalf  of  the  College,  and  said  that  there  was 
no  more  fitting  place  for  them  than  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
Professor  Remington,  as  Dean  of  the  Faculty,  acted  as  toast-master,  and 
toasts  were  responded  to  by  the  members  of  the  Faculty  and  Instructors,  some 
of  the  members  of  the  College  and  Board  of  Trustees,  and  by  many  of  the 
members  of  the  graduating  class. 
BACCALAUREATE  SERMON. 
In  connection  with  the  other  exercises  of  Commencement  Week,  a  bacca- 
laureate sermon  was  delivered  to  the  graduates  on  Sunday,  April  14th,  by  Dr. 
C.  E.  Stevens,  Rector  of  Christ  Church,  Second  and  Market  Streets.  Incident- 
ally it  may  be  mentioned  that  this  church  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  struc- 
tures in  Philadelphia,  retaining  the  architectural  appearance  of  the  early 
colonial  time,  and  having  been  the  place  of  worship  of  Franklin  and  the  early 
Presidents  of  the  United  States.

mendations were  made  relative  to  the  interests  of  the  Association,  reports  from
