There  is  but  one  father  of  American  pharmacy  as  there  is  but 
one  "  father  of  his  country."  These  honors  cannot  be  shared. 
But  as  the  name  of  Abraham  Lincoln  in  American  history,  so  the 
name  of  Charles  Rice  will  endure  in  the  history  of  American  phar- 
macy. Each,  like  a  meteor,  has  his  own  path  of  glory,  and  each,  like 
the  famous  mountain  peaks,  serve  as  resting  places  for  our  ascending 
footsteps  that  we  may  catch  the  inspiration  to  do  our  part  and  do 
it  well.  Dr.  Rice,  by  reason  of  his  attainments  of  intellect  and 
character/' indisputably  enjoyed  an  elevated  rank  in  human  nature." 
One  ventures  to  believe  that  an  adequate  memorial  of  him  will  some 
day  be  undertaken.  Meanwhile  his  memory  is  safe ;  his  work  will 
be  conserved  and  his  example  we  should  endeavor  to  emulate. 
PHARMACEUTICAL  MEETING. 
The  last  of  the  series  of  pharmaceutical  meetings  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  for  1 900- 190 1  was  held  Tuesday,

the  College  and  Lecturer  on  Materia  Medica  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  presided.  There  was  a  fair  attendance,  and  in  other 
respects  the  meeting  was  a  fitting  close  to  the  series  of  meetings.
