President  French  said  the  remarks  of  Mr.  Boring  upon  the  death 
of  Mr.  Wiegand  forcibly  reminded  him  and  saddened  him  to  recall 
that  of  all  the  men  connected  with  the  College  in  an  official  capacity 
when  he  entered  it  as  a  student  not  one  of  them  is  with  us  to-day. 
George  M.  Beringer  stated  that  it  was  the  wish  of  Mr.  Wiegand's 
family  that  the  College  should  appoint  six  members  to  act  as  honor- 
ary pall-bearers,  to  attend  the  funeral  services  and  accompany  the 
body  to  the  place  of  burial  at  Beverly,  N.J.  The  President  appointed 
Messrs.  Beringer,  Baer,  Beetem,  Kraemer,  Krewson,  and  Lowe. 
Later,  it  was  ascertained  that  two  of  those  selected  as  pall-bearers 
could  not  accompany  the  body  to  Beverly,  when  Messrs.  Cook  and 
Weidemann  were  substituted. 
The  funeral  services  were  held  in  the  chapel  of  the  Arch  Street 
Presbyterian  Church  on  Saturday  morning,  August  14,  the  Rev. 
Harvey  L.  Wyatt  of  the  Calvin  Presbyterian  Church  officiating. 
Notwithstanding  that  some  of  the  members  of  the  College  were 
on  their  way  to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  at  Los  Angeles,  California,  and  it  being  in  the  mid- 
summer vacation  period  a  large  number  of  the  pharmacists  of  the 
city  were  in  attendance.  The  body  was  buried  in  the  cemetery  at 
Beverly,  N.  J.,  by  the  side  of  his  wife  and  children.
