402  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.     {Am;uJ^rt'  \^m' 
of  Philadelphia,  to  be  published  as  a  part  of  Founders'  Week  Cele- 
bration of  the  city,  held  in  October,  1908.  The  committee  made 
the  suggestion  that  in  order  to  fittingly  celebrate  the  centenary  of 
the  College  a  complete  history  of  the  College  since  its  foundation 
should  be  published.  In  connection  with  such  a  volume  the  notable 
events  in  the  careers  of  the  officers,  teachers,  and  graduates  should 
be  included,  as  the  personal  element  of  such  a  historical  sketch  would 
add  very  materially  to  its  value  and  general  interest.  As  the 
preparation  of  such  a  historical  volume  would  require  a  great  deal 
of  time,  the  committee  placed  the  proposition  before  the  College 
at  this' time  so  that  it  might  receive  careful  consideration.  The 
committee  also  suggested  that  additional  cases  be  provided  to  care 
for  the  numerous  additions  to  the  historical  collection. 
The  recommendation  of  the  committee  in  reference  to  publishing 
a  history  of  the  College  was  well  received,  when,  on  motion  of 
Professor  Remington,  the  President  was  requested  to  appoint  a 
committee  of  five  to  prepare  a  plan  and  scope  of  the  work,  to  report 
at  a  later  meeting, 
An  autograph  letter  of  Sir  Morrell  Mackenzie  was  presented  by 
Mr.  Joseph  Jacobs,  for  which  the  thanks  of  the  College  were  voted 
to  him. 
The  Committee  on  Necrology,  Professor  Sadtler,  Chairman, 
reported  the  deaths  of  two  members  during  the  year,  viz.,  William 
J.  Miller  and  Jacob  H.  Redsecker. 
The  Committee  on  By-Laws  proposed  several  amendments  to 
the  by-laws  relating  to  membership,  the  most  important  one  being 
to  strike  out  the  paying  an  initiation  fee,  action  on  which  is  to  be 
deferred  till  the  next  meeting  of  the  College. 
The  delegates  to  the  thirty-ninth  annual  meeting  of  the  New 
Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association,  held  at  Lake  Hopatcong  June 
9-1 1,  reported  that  the  meeting  was  fairly  well  attended  and  a 
great  deal  of  interest  and  enthusiasm  was  manifested  at  the  various 
sessions.  Professor  Henry  Kraemer  conveyed  the  greetings  from 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  Professor  C.  B.  Lowe 
gave  a  lecture  on  "  Emergencies."  The  Committee  on  Papers  and 
Queries  presented  a  number  of  papers,  and  the  Committee  on  U.  S. 
Pharmacopoeia  had  endeavored  to  obtain  critical  reviews  of  a  number 
of  official  preparations,  and  as  a  result  papers  were  presented  upon 
plasters,  cerates,  ointments,  troches,  and  syrups. 
The  social  features  were  very  much  enjoyed  and  consisted  of
