Reorganization  of  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy. — From  the 
Baltimore  American  of  Feb.  29th  we  learn  that  "  The  Board  of  Trustees 
of  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy  held  a  meeting  on  Monday  the  25th 
of  April,  and  effected  its  re-organization  on  the  basis  of  the  charter  granted 
by  act  of  the  Legislature,  Jan.  27th,  1841  ;  at  the  same  meeting  a  number 
of  new  members  were  elected.  At  a  meeting  of  the  College  held  on  Wed- 
nesday evening,  (27th  Feb.,)  the  following  gentlemen  handed  in  their  re- 
signations as  members  of  the  Board,  which  were  accepted,  viz  :  George 
W.  Andrews,  Israel  J.  Grahame,  J.  V.  D.  Stewart,  and  John  W.  Barry, 
An  election  for  officers  was  then  held,  which  resulted  ao  follows  : — Presi- 
dent— George  W.  Andrews.  Vice  Presidents — Israel  J.  Grahame  and  John 
W.  Barry.  Secretary  — William  S.  Thompson.  Treasurer — J.  B.  Baxley. 
Board  of  Examiners — Alpheus  P.  Sharp,  J.  Faris  Moore,  and  Joseph  Rob- 
erts. The  Officers  of  the  College  compose  the  Board  of  Trustees  ex 
officio. 
A  correspondent  informs  us  that  the  meetings  since  the  re-organization 
have  been  very  spirited,  and  indicate  that  the  movement  among  our  Balti- 
more brethren  is  destined  to  be  productive  of  good  results.  At  the  last 
meeting  the  subject  of  a  certificate  of  membership  was  brought  forward, 
and  claimed  much  attention,  and  a  Code  of  Ethics  was,  after  full  discussion, 
also  adopted.  We  have  not  yet  received  the  printed  laws  and  proceedings, 
but  will  again  recur  to  this  subject.  We  understand  that  our  Baltimore 
friends  are  pleased  with  the  adoption  of  Baltimore  aa  the  next  place  of 
meeting  of  the  Association,  and  we  believe  that  their  usual  warm  feeling 
will  manifest  itself  on  that  occasion  in  promoting  the  objects  of  the  meeting^ 
The  Apothecaries'  Association  of  the  District  of  Columbia. — The  work 
of  pharmaceutical  organization  among  the  larger  communities  of  the  United 
States  is  slowly  but  surely  progressing.  Among  the  recent  movements,  none 
has  been  more  successful  than  that  at  Washington,  as  will  be  manifest  from 
the  following  communication  : 
Washington.  (D.  C.)  9th  April,  1856. 
Sir,— -At  the  first  annual  meeting  of  the  :i  Apothecaries  Association  of 
the  Distiict  of  Columbia,'7  held  on  the  2d  inst..  on  motion  of  the  President, 
the  Corresponding  Secretary  was  instructed  to  notify  you  of  our  organiza- 
tion under  the  above  named  tille,  and  in  compliance  therewith,  I  have  the 
honor  to  address  you.  Aware  that  the  Apothecaries  of  Richmond,  Va.  and 
Baltimore,  Md.j*  had  recently  failed  in  an  effort  to  organize  for  similar  pur- 
*  This  does  not  refer  to  the  recent  successful  re-or  ganizatiofi  of  the  Ma- 
yland  College,  noticed  above.  Editor.
