Parrish,  Mrs.  Susan  D.  Wharton.  Swarthmore  College  was  repre- 
sented by  Mr.  Isaac  Clothier,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Managers 
and  a  friend  of  Professor  Parrish,  and  Dr.  Benjamin  F.  Battin, 
Professor  of  the  German  Language  and  Literature. 
The  opening  address  was  made  by  Professor  Joseph  P.  Reming- 
ton, who  was  Professor  Parrish's  assistant  and  now  dean  of  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy; 
Professor  James  M.  Good,  of  the  St.  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy, 
presented  a  crayon  portrait  of  Professor  Parrish,  and  paid  a  glowing 
tribute  to  his  sterling  integrity  and  his  conscientious  devotion  and 
rigid  adherence  to  the  right.  He  said,  among  other  things,  that 
"  Professor  Parrish  was  cultured  and  scholarly ;  of  attractive  per- 
sonality ;  tactful  and  possessed  of  ready  wit.  .  .  .  He  was  a 
peer  among  men,  who  by  conspicuous  ability  were  adding  to  the 
enviable  reputation  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and 
who  were  making  history  for  it  and  for  the  American  Pharmaceuti- 
cal Association." 
The  portrait  was  received  on  behalf  of  the  College  by  President 
Howard  B.  French,  who,  after  thanking  Professor  Good  for  the 
presentation  of  the  speaking  likeness  of  Professor  Parrish,  which 
action  he  said  was  highly  appreciated  by  the  College,  referred  to  the 
brilliancy  of  Professor  Parrish's  career  and  the  esteem  in  which 
he  was  held,  and  will  ever  be  held  by  the  members  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy. 
Professor  Henry  P.  Hynson,  of  the  University  of  Maryland,  read 
an  address  on  "  Edward  Parrish  and  His  Writings,"  which  was  an 
estimate  of  this  leader  in  pharmacy  and  co-worker  with  Grahame, 
Procter,  and  Squibb,  as  revealed  through  his  writings  in  the  Ameri- 
can Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  the  Proceedings  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association." 
Thomas  D.  McElhenie,  of  the  class  of  1872,  P. CP.,  read  a  paper 
giving  "  Reminiscences  of  Edward  Parrish,"  including  his  own  recol- 
lections of  him  as  well  as  those  of  Samuel  Fairchild,  Horatio  N. 
Fraser,  and  Joseph  Case. 
An  address  was  to  have  been  made  by  Clemmons  Parrish,  of 
Brooklyn,  a  son  of  Professor  Parrish,  but  on  account  of  illness  he 
was  unable  to  be  present.  Another  son,  Edward  Parrish,  a  mining 
engineer  from  Newport,  R.  L,  made  a  few  remarks,  saying  that  he 
was  profoundly  moved  by  the  estimate  of  the  work  and  character  of 
his  father  as  set  forth  by  those  who  knew  him  in  a  professional  way.
