Any  applicant  for  resident  membership,  conforming  to  the  Code  of  Ethics 
adopted  by  this  College,  who  has  served  a  regular  apprenticeship  to  the 
drug  and  apothecary  business,  but  is  not  a  graduate  in  Pharmacy,  may  be 
examined  by  a  Committee  of  Examination,  to  be  appointed  annually  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  if  his  examination  is  satisfactory,  he  shall  in 
like  manner  be  eligible  to  election  by  the  Board. 
Any  druggist  or  apothecary,  not  a  graduate  in  Pharmacy,  but  who  has 
been  established  in  business  for  at  least  six  years,  and  conforms  to  the  Code 
of  Ethics  of  this  College,  shall  be  eligible  for  resident  membership — pro- 
vided he  is  recommended  by  the  Board  of  Trustees,  a  stated  meeting  of 
the  College;  three  negative  votes  to  defeat  such  recommendation  ;  and,  on 
ballot  in  the  College,  not  more  than  three  votes  are  cast  against  him. 
Sect.  3.  Resident  members  shall  pay  an  installation  fee  of  five  dollars, 
and  five  dollars  annually  thereafter,  in  the  month  of  December  of  each  year. 
But  any  resident  member  elected  after  the  1st  day  of  March  in  any  year, 
shall  not  be  obliged  to  pay  the  annual  contribution  of  that  year. 
Resident  members  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  the  Journal  free  of  charge,

Sect.  4.  Druggists  and  Pharmaceutists  residing  in  any  part  of  the  United 
States,  may  be  elected,  under  the  same  restrictions  as  prescribed  in  the  case 
of  resident  members,  associate  members  of  the  College — each  person  so 
elected  to  pay  a  contribution  of  twenty-five  dollars,  in  lieu  of  all  others 
contributions. 
Sect.  5.  All  such  persons  as,  from  their  knowledge  of  Materia  Medica, 
Pharmacy,  and  their  collateral  branches  of  science,  shall,  in  the  opinion  of 
the  College,  merit  that  distinction,  may,  on  the  recommendation  of  four 
members,  be  proposed  as  candidates  for  honorary  membership  at  one  stated 
meeting  of  the  College,  and  may  be  ballotted  for  at  the  next  stated  meeting; 
three-fourths  of  the  votes  given  shall  be  necessary  to  an  election. 
Sect.  6.  Associate  and  honorary  members  shall  have  the  same  privileges 
as  resident  members  in  regard  to  the  use  of  the  library  and  cabinet,  and

right  to  vote  or  hold  any  office  in  the  institution. 
Sect,  7.  No  resignation  shall  be  received  from  any  member  of  the  Col- 
lege, unless  accompanied  by  a  voucher  from  the  Treasurer  that  his  certifi- 
cate of  membership  has  been  returned  or  destroyed,  and  all  arrearages 
paid.  The  College  may,  however,  by  vote,  continue  the  certificate  to  one 
who  may  have  resigned  his  membership. 
Sect.  8.  Any  member  of  the  College  neglecting  the  payment  of  his  con-
