The  committee  on  legislative  matters  presented  for  the  consideration  of  the  Asso- 
ciation a  line  of  action,  as  follows  : 
1.  To  procure  the  passage  of  a  law  restricting  and  defining  the  practice  of 
pharmacy,  similar  in  terms  to  a  proposed  law  for  the  Illinois  association,  which 
accompanied  the  report,  except  that  the  Board  of  Health  therein  proposed  be  super- 
ceded by  an  Examining  Board  of  five,  to  be  appointed  by  the  Governor  out  of 
twenty  pharmacists  recommended  by  the  Association  }  also  that  a  certificate  of 
graduation  from  the  Kansas  College  of  Pharmacy  or  that  of  any  other  reputable 
college  of  pharmacy,  shall  entitle  the  holder  to  a  certificate  from  the  State  Board. 
2.  The  incorporation  in  said  act  of  a  provision  that  all  the  registered  pharmacists 
in  the  State  shall  be  authorized  by  law  as  a  legitimate  part  of  their  business  to  sell 
liquors  for  medical,  sacramental,  scientific  and  mechanical  purposes. 
3.  The  passage  of  the  following  resolutions  relative  to  the  establishment  of  a 
Kansas  college  of  pharmacy. 
Kesol^edy  That  it  is  the  sense  of  this  Association  that  there  should  be  in  the  State 
of  Kansas  a  college  of  pharmacy  for  the  education  of  young  men  intending  to 
become  druggists,  who  in  the  absence  of  such  an  institution  are  obliged  to  go  into 
other  States,  at  no  small  expense,  to  obtain  that  which  should  be  furnished  within  the 
limits  of  our  own  Commonwealth. 
Resolnjed^  Therefore,  that  the  Executive  Committee  of  this  Association  be 
instructed  to  prepare  and  present  a  memorial  to  the  Legislature  of  the  coming  win- 
ter, setting  forth  the  present  lamentable  condition  in  relation  to  the  dispensing  of 
drugs,  medicines  and  poisons,  and  the  protection  which  public  safety  demands  in  this 
regard,  and  praying  that  body  to  appropriate  the  sum  of  $1,000  annually  for  the 
establishment  and  continuance  of  a  chair  of  pharmacy  and  materia  medica  in  the 
State  university,  such  chair,  the  chair  of  chemistry  and  that  of  botany  together  to 
constitute  the  State  college  of  pharmacy. 
Mr.  Lels  moved  that  the  Executive  Committe  be  instructed  to  incorporate  the 
Association,  provided  it  is  found  practicable.  Adopted. 
The  bond  of  J.  G.  Northcraft,  Treasurer,  was  approved. 
Mr.  Northcraft  offered  a  resolution  to  the  effect  that  he  be  empowered  to  advance 
money,  not  exceeding  $100,  to  the  secretary  with  which  to  pay  bills,  he  to  account 
for  the  same.  Adopted. 
The  Executive  Committee  recommended  the  election  of  certain  absent  gentlemen 
as  members,  and  the  convention  adopted  the  recommendation. 
Topeka  was  unanimously  selected  as  the  place  of  the  next  meeting. 
Cincinnati  College  of  Pharmacy  We  learn  from  a  Cincinnati  paper  that  a 
movement  has  been  on  toot  for  some  time  past  looking  to  a  consolidation  of  the 
Cincinnati  College  of  Pharmacy  with  the  University  located  in  that  city,  and  that 
the  project  received  the  favorable  consideration  of  the  University  Board,  and  that  it 
also  had  some  strong  supporters  among  the  active  members  of  the  College  of 
Pharmacy.  Subsequently  a  meeting  of  the  College  was  called  to  consider  the  action 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  especially  in  the  matter  of  electing  trustees  and  fixing 
their  compensation  5  after  considerable  discussion  the  action  of  the  Board  was 
annulled  and  the  old  faculty  were  appointed  at  the  old  salaries. 
An  election  for  four  trustees  was  also  held  at  the  same  time.  Messrs.  Feemster, 
Graeger,  Heun  and  Reum  were  elected.
