PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  semi-annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  was  held  September  30,  1901,  the  President,  Howard  B.  French,  in 
the  chair  ;  thirty-five  members  were  present.  The  minutes  of  the  quarterly 
meeting  held  June  24th  were  read  and  approved.  The  minutes  of  the  meeting 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  June  were  read  by  the  Registrar,  W.  Nelson  Stem, 
and  approved  as  read. 
Mr.  Stiles,  for  the  delegates  to  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion meeting  held  at  Harvey's  Lake,  June  18-21,  reported  verbally,  as  a  very  full 
report  of  that  meeting  had  been  published  in  the  American  Journal  of 
Pharmacy  for  September,  page  446.  Further  report  was  unnecessary.  In 
addition  to  what  had  already  been  published  Professor  Remington  alluded 
to  the  good  work  that  had  been  done  by  Joint  Committees  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Medical  Association  and  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  on  free 
dispensaries  and  that  the  Medical  Association  at  the  meeting  recently  held  in 
Philadelphia  had  unanimously  adopted  the  plan  proposed  by  the  Joint  Com- 
mittee (see  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  page  467).  Credit  was  due 
our  fellow  member,  J.  C.  Perry,  who  was  the  author  of  the  plan. 
The  report  of  the  delegates  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
held  at  St.  Louis,  September  15-20,  was  read  by  Professor  Kraemer,  as  an  ex- 
tended report  of  the  proceedings  was  published  in  the  American  Journal  of 
Pharmacy  for  October,  page  482-510,  he  called  especial  attention  to  the  fact  that 
as  the  next  meeting  will  be  held  in  Philadelphia  in  1902  it  would  seem  desirable 
to  appoint  a  committee  to  consider  in  what  way,  or  ways,  the  College  might 
contribute  to  the  success  and  interest  of  the  meeting. 
The  suggestion  was  discussed  by  Messrs.  Meyer,  Lowe,  Cliffe,  Perry,  Kraemer 
and  Remington,  when  Professor  Remington  offered  the  following  resolution  : 
"  That  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  by  the  chair  to  take  into  considera- 
tion all  matters  pertaining  to  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  in  1902  in  which  the  College  may  be  'interested,"  which  was 
adopted,  and  the  chairman  be  requested  to  appoint  the  committee  at  his 
leisure. 
Mr.  England,  for  the  Committee  on  Nominations,  reported  that,  in  accord- 
ance with  Article  VIII,  Section  19,  the  following  named  gentlemen  were  pro- 
posed for  the  three  vacancies  in  the  Board  of  Trustees,  which  would  occur  at 
this  meeting  of  the  College — E.  M.  Boring,  R.  M.  Shoemaker,  Lawson  C. 
Funk,  Charles  Leedom  and  Walter  A.  Rumsey. 
Election  for  three  trustees  being  next  in  order,  letters  were  read  from 
Messrs.  Funk  and  Rumsey  declining  the  nomination.  There  being  no  further 
nominations,  on  motion  of  Mr.  Gordon  the  Secretary  was  directed  to  cast  an 
affirmative  ballot  for  Messrs.  E.  M.  Boring,  Richard  M.  Shoemaker  and 
Charles  Leedom,  for  the  term  of  three  years.  Melville  W.  Bamford  and  Lucien 
Scott  Kemp  were  unanimously  elected  to  membership  in  the  College. 
The  President  expressed  his  pleasure  at  the  larger  number  of  members 
present  at  the  meeting. 
C.  A.  Weidemann,  M.D  ,  Secretary.
