Cleveland,  O.  H.  V.  Arny. 
Dear  Sir: — lam  heartily  in  sympathy  with  the  movement  to 
establish  a  suitable  memorial  to  Professor  Procter.  After  reading 
the  various  ideas  expressed  in  the  A.J.Ph.,  I  have  slightly  modified 
the  opinion  which  I  had  first  formed. 
If  it  were  possible  to  raise  sufficient  funds  for  the  proper  equip- 
ment and  maintenance  of  a  research  laboratory  my  ideal  would  be 
accomplished.  As  I  doubt  very  much  that  this  can  be  carried  into 
effect  my  second  choice  would  be  a  fellowship.  In  case  this  would 
not  be  feasible  then  a  Procter  medal  to  be  bestowed  only  once  in 
two  or  three  years  for  continuous,  exceptionally  meritorious  work 
along  pharmaceutical  lines  is  the  least,  in  my  judgment,  that  should 
be  decided  upon.

Dear  Sir  : — In  reply  to  yours  of  the  4th  inst.,  I  desire  to  say  that 
I  am  in  entire  accord  with  the  research  laboratory  idea,  providing 
the  project  can  be  carried  out  in  an  adequate  and  generous  way. 
This  it  seemed  to  me  at  first  not  easily  possible,  but  if  the  indica- 
tions now  point  to  a  greater  probability  of  accomplishment,  the 
movement  would  have  my  fullest  support.  There  ought  to  be  a 
liberal  endowment  for  maintenance  or  some  other  arrangement 
that  would  from  the  beginning  remove  the  need  of  that  practice  of 
economy  that  is  never  fruitful. 
I  will  be  glad  to  do  what  I  can  to  help  the  matter  along.

Dear  Sir  : — Your  favor  of  the  4th  inst.  to  hand  and  noted.  I 
am  decidedly  in  favor  of  establishing  a  research  laboratory  as  a 
memorial  to  Professor  Procter,  and  think  it  decidedly  the  most 
suitable  and  desirable  memorial  we  could  erect  to  him.  But  I  fear 
it  will  be  too  great  an  undertaking,  and  that  the  maintenance  of  it 
will  be  more  than  the  A. Ph. A.  can  finance.  The  first  expense  will 
perhaps  be  too  large  for  practical  purposes  even,  for  I  cannot  see 
where  the  funds  will  come  from.  The  fixed  charges  after  it  is 
erected  then  will  be  in  excess  of  what  it  can  earn  in  my  judgment, 
and  we  cannot  depend  or  look  with  any  assurance  upon  govern- 
mental support  or  maintenance.    If  it  is  located  in  New  York  City,
