41 8  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  {A^™srt,?£jLrm- 
of  Messrs.  Remington,  Beringer  and  Kraemer,  presented  the  following,  which 
was  adopted  : 
Whereas,  The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  has  learned  of  the  death 
on  Monday,  May  13,^  1901,  of  our  esteemed  honorary  member,  Charles  Rice, 
Ph.D.,  Ph.M.,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  United  States 
Pharmacopoeia,  be  it  therefore, 
Resolved,  That  we  hereby  express  our  appreciation  of  his  great  natural 
ability,  scholarly  attainments  and  nobleness  of  character,  which  not  only  gained 
for  him  the  profound  admiration  of  the  pharmaceutical  and  medical  professions 
throughout  the  world,  but  which  endeared  him  to  all  who  either  came  in  con- 
tact with  him  personally  or  who  had  more  remote  relations  with  him. 
The  enormous  amount  of  efficient  work  that  he  accomplished  on  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia  during  the  last  twenty  years  as  Chairman  of  the  Revi- 
sion Committee  has  done  much  toward  elevating  our  national  standard  to  its 
acknowledged  advanced  scientific  standing.  His  personality  is  indelibly 
impressed  on  its  pages  and  his  influence  will  extend  throughout  future  revi- 
sions, and  thus  continue  to  attest  his  especial  fitness  for  conducting  Pharmaco- 
pceial  work. 
Perfection  of  style,  simplicity  and  thoroughness  have  always  characterized 
his  contributions  to  pharmaceutical  literature,  and  not  less  marked  has  been 
his  willingness  to  sacrifice  time,  efforts  and  means  to  advance  the  interests  of 
his  profession. 
The  results  accomplished  during  his  life  remain  as  a  lasting  memorial,  more 
impressive  than  any  monument  in  his  honor,  and  one  which  will  always  appeal 
to  the  pharmacist  as  an  ideal  worthy  of  our  emulation. 
Resolved,  That  the  officers  and  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  by  this  memorial  minute,  desire  to  express  their  profound  sorrow  at 
the  removal  by  death  of  this  unselfish  and  zealous  worker  in  the  field  of  phar- 
macy, and  to  record  their  admiration  for  the  personal  character  and  services  of 
Dr.  Charles  Rice,  and  with  it  their  appreciation  of  the  immeasurable  loss 
which  American  pharmacy  has  sustained  by  his  demise,  a  loss  which  must  be 
severely  felt  throughout  the  pharmaceutical  world. 
The  President  appointed  the  following  committees  :  Committee  on  Necrol- 
ogy, George  M.  Beringer,  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer,  Gustavus  Pile.  Committee 
on  Nominations,  Joseph  W.  England,  Harry  D.  Stiles,  Jacob  M.  Baer,  Theodore

Dr.  C.  B.  Lowe  alluded  to  the  botanical  specimens  gathered  in  the  vicinity  of 
Washington,  Pa.,  by  Mr.  Isaac  M.  Weills,  and  donated  to  the  College  by  him, 
and  moved  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  tendered  the  donor,  which  was  adopted. 
Communications  were  read  from  Charles  Mohr,  of  Asheville,  N.  C,  Helen 
Abbott  Michael,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  and  Prof.  Dr.  Arthur  Meyer,  of  Marburg, 
Germany,  acknowledging  receipt  of  notification  of  their  election  to  honorary 
membership  in  the  College.  Professor  Kraemer  also  read  a  portion  of  a  letter 
from  Dr.  Charles  Rice  which  he  received  a  short  time  before  his  death,  in 
which  he  expressed  his  appreciation  of  his  election  as  an  honorary  member  in 
this  College.
