PENNSYLVANIA  PHARMACEUTICAL  ASSOCIATION. 
MEETING  HELD  AT  BEDFORD  SPRINGS,  JUNE,  I909. 
The  thirty-second  annual  meeting  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  was  held  at  Bedford  Springs  Hotel  on  Tues- 
day, Wednesday,  and  Thursday,  June  22,  23,  and  24,  with  a  large 
number  of  members  and  guests  in  attendance,  and  with  results 
which  show  that  this  association  is  well  in  the  lead  among  the  State 
associations  in  the  character  of  the  work  accomplished. 
The  meeting  place  was  one  which  had  been  visited  several  times 
before,  and  is  well  adapted  for  the  purpose,  as  the  members  were 
all  housed  under  one  roof  and  could  attend  the  sessions  and  social 
functions  without  any  inconvenience.  The  preliminary  arrange- 
ments had  been  so  well  taken  care  of  by  President  Walton  and 
Secretary  Heffner  that  a  more  business-like  procedure  than  ever 
before  was  made  possible.  This  was  largely  due  to  the  fact  that 
printed  programs  were  issued,  giving  an  outline  of  the  business  to 
be  transacted  at  each  session  and  the  order  in  which  it  would  be 
taken  up.  This,  and  the  fact  that  an  additional  session  had  been 
provided  by  utilizing  Tuesday  morning  for  reading  reports  and  re- 
ceiving delegates,  made  it  possible  to  do  all  the  work  in  three  days 
without  any  undue  haste  or  crowding. 
The  first  session  on  Tuesday  morning  was  opened  by  President 
Walton,  with  the  other  officers  in  their  respective  positions  and  a 
large  number  of  members  in  attendance.  This  session  was  devoted 
almost  entirely  to  the  reading  of  reports.  Those  of  the  treasurer, 
secretary,  and  executive  committee  showed  the  affairs  of  the  associa- 
tion to  be  in  a  very  prosperous  condition,  and  that  it  has  grown  both 
in  size  and  importance.  Delegates  from  other  associations  were 
accorded  the  privilege  at  this  time.  Reports  were  then  received 
from  delegates  to  other  State  associations  and  several  committee 
reports  were  given  consideration. 
At  the  second  session,  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  the  following  com- 
mittees were  appointed  by  President  Walton : 
On  Nominations :  R.  H.  Lackey,  chairman ;  B.  E.  Pritchard, 
Wm.  E.  Lee,  C.  H.  Marcy,  and  G.  A.  Gorgas. 
Auditing  Committee :  T.  Henry  Merritt,  chairman  ;  A.  B.  Hecker- 
man,  F.  J.  Althouse. 
On  Patents  and  Trademarks :  W.  L.  Cliffe,  chairman ;  C.  E. 
Vanderkleed,  J.  C.  Wallace,  J.  W.  England  and  J.  R.  Thompson.
