Power  will  hereafter  reside  at  Passaic,  N.  J.,  where  the  preparation  of  volatile 
oils  and  allied  products  will  be  carried  on  under  his  direction,  affording  him 
ample  opportunities  for  continuing  his  researches  in  a  congenial  field.  Pre- 
vious to  his  departure  from  Madison  a  farewell  banquet  was  tendered  him  by 
his  friends  at  the  hotel  Van  Etta,  on  the  evening  of  March  23d. 
The  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy  has  filled  the  vacancy  occasioned 
by  the  death  of  Professor  Pengra,  by  calling  Dr.  R.  W.  Greenleaf,  who  had 
been  for  some  time  connected  with  the  College,  to  the  chair  of  Materia  Medica 
and  Botany.  In  the  same  College  the  chair  of  Pharmacy  became  vacant 
through  the  resignation  of  Prof.  Patch,  owing  to  the  demands  upon  his  time  by 
business  affairs.  This  vacancy  was  filled  by  the  appointment  of  Professor  G. 
F.  H.  Markoe,  who  has  been  a  member  of  the  faculty  since  the  College  became 
a  teaching  institution  in  December  1867.

Besides  the  discussions  on  cut  rates  and  the  proposed  methods  for  curing  that 
evil,  the  reading  and  discussion  of  papers  occupied  much  of  the  time  of  the 
association.  Many  of  the  papers,  a  number  of  which  had  been  previously  pub- 
lished in  the  last  volume  of  this  journal,  came  from  the  University  of  Michigan, 
and  were  mostly  presented  in  abstract,  such  as  the  work  done  on  the  examina- 
tion of  chemicals  with  regard  to  their  purity,  the  determination  of  adulterations 
in  various  articles,  etc.  Professor  Stevens  contributed  elaborate  saturation 
tables  ;  Prof.  Vaughan  made  an  address  on  the  relation  of  pharmacy  to  medi- 
cine, and  Prof.  Abel  discoursed  on  the  methods  of  pharmacology  and  demon- 
strated the  effects  of  several  drugs  upon  animals.  The  executive  officers  for 
the  year  are  H.  G.  Colman,  Kalamazoo,  president ;  Wm.  Dupont,  Detroit,  trea- 
surer ;  C.  W.  Parkins,  Detroit,  secretary,  and  J.  D.  Muir,  Grand  Rapids,  local 
secretary.  The  tenth  annual  meeting  will  be  held  at  Grand  Rapids,  commenc- 
ing August  2,  next.
