THE  PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  semi-annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  College  was 
held  September  27  at  4  o'clock,  p.m.,  in  the  Library.  Twenty  mem- 
bers were  present.  The  President,  Howard  B.  French,  presided. 
The  minutes  of  the  quarterly  meeting  held  June  28  and  of  the  special 
meeting  held  August  13  were  separately  read  and  approved.  The 
minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  June  were  read  by  the  Regis- 
trar, and  approved. 
The  amendments  to  By-laws,  ottered  at  the  meeting  in  June,  to 
Article  VIII,  Sections  4  and  6,  were  considered  and,  after  slight 
alterations  in  the  wording,  were  adopted.  These  amendments 
remove  the  initiation  fee  of  five  dollars  which  was  formerly  required 
and  remove  the  restriction  that  active  and  associate  members  must 
reside  in  the  United  States,  and  also  broaden  the  eligibility  to 
associate  membership. 
The  committee  appointed  at  the  special  meeting  in  August  to 
draft  resolutions  on  the  decease  of  our  fellow  member,  Thomas  S. 
Wiegand,  the  late  Librarian  of  the  College,  reported  as  follows : 
Whereas,  We  are  called  upon  to  record  the  decease  on  August  10 
of  our  fellow  member  and  friend  Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  who  for  fifty-seven 
years  was  an  active  member  and  faithful  co-worker  in  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  and 
Whereas,  As  a  member  and  officer  during  this  long  and  useful  career, 
his  loyal  devotion  to  his  Alma  Mater,  his  unwavering  zeal  and  enthusiastic 
interest  in  her  welfare,  and  his  solicitude  for  her  progress  were  pre- 
dominating characteristics  that  created  a  sentiment  that  redounded  alike 
to  his  honor  and  her  benefit,  and 
Whereas,  His  personal  intercourse  with  his  fellowmen  was  always 
marked  by  cheerful  disposition,  earnest  purpose,  sincere  friendship,  wise 
counsel,  and  a  fatherly  kindness  that  manifested  itself  in  his  unselfish 
interest  in  the  welfare  of  every  friend  and  his  willingness  to  sacrifice  himself 
in  their  behalf,  which  endowments  endeared  him  to  the  students,  members, 
officers,  and  friends  of  the  College  and  made  him  the  universal  friend  of  all, 
Be  it  Resolved,  That  in  the  decease  of  our  friend  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  has  lost  a  devoted  member  and  officer,  and  American 
pharmacy  one  of  its  noble  spirits  whose  example  and  influence  aided 
materially  in  the  development  of  the  professional  side  of  our  calling. 
Resolved,  That  we  enter  upon  the  minutes  of  the  College  a  record  of 
our  sincere  sorrow  and  profound  sense  of  the  loss  that  we  have  sustained, 
and  likewise  as  a  tribute  to  his  memory  an  expression  of  our  high  apprecia-
