At the last meeting the following query
was given to DR.. Colly Shriver, Of Bethany,
for answer:
what is the advisability and advantage
OF establishing State College OF Phar-
Macy?
DR.. Shriver said Directly, would ans
wer that it would not be advisable TO estab-
lish State College of Pharmacy. Taking
as my reasons that colleges in the larger
cities, for instance in Philadelphia, they
have great struggle to maintain their
College here in the city of
Wheeling. l doubt whether it would be
self-supporting, and unless you can have q
college that will support itself from the
tuition of the students it certainly would
be a failure, and unless We could establish
a college that would be a credit to the
State, would dunhesitatingly say, no! Now
h is.may not coincide with the views Of
many members present, but it has been my
experience that the student will study better
in centers where his mind will come in
contact with other minds, and by that
means familiarize himself with the ideas Of
of fother mems. While | would very much
desire to see college established in this
ritv 7 can only say as far as nv onininn is
is all have TO say.
Mr., President, | would like to hear an
opinion expressed by the gentlemen pres
ent in regard to this matter.
Mr.. Moenkemaller returned the thanks
of DR.. Schatfraneck for the honor con-
ferred Oh him in making him an honorary
member of the Association, and sent
number of his plates OF botanical plants
for the inspection of the members. lie
also invited them to visit his residence and
inspect his 5000 specimens.
Mr.. Moenkemoeller also announced that
DIR. Rothlein had kindly consented to give
nine of the twelve plates prepared by him
TO the Association and made motion that
they be framed and hung up at all places
of future meeting. The motion carried.
Mr.. A. C. Law, Of Monndsyil le was
elected a member OF the Association.
The following resolution Of Mr. A. K
Cambell was discussed at great length:
That committee OF five, one from each
Congressional district, be appointed, VINO
with the President of the Association, shall
have the power to represent us in any ac
tion of general interest to the Association
IN employ an attorney to protect our inter
est in any action il NAV be necessary tc
bring in court to assert our rights or pro
tect our interests; TO assess the members
of this Association TO defray such expenses
pro rata.
DIR. Logan asked for an explanation o.
the meaning of the resolution. Mr.. Camp
bell said:
Nv object in offering the resolution is tc
concentrate our forces. In union there Il
strength. Our very existence may at no
great time in the future depend upon Q
tight in the courts. Some OF the county
Commissioners rule that we must take ou
license. not recognizing our certihcate'
from the Board of Pharmacy as sufficient
we feel and know this to be wrong Bu
what can we do without going into court
What want is a conservative community
one that would only 20 into law when oul
very existence depends upon 1t. But b'
prepared IN case it becomes necessary. /.

| II NAV be best for the committee to hgh

prompted the resolution.
DIR. Logan at some length opposed tn
resolution of Mr.. Campbell. for sewers
reasons. chiefly however on account OF Tn
| oeneralness of the resolution, saying that
| Contemplated too much and might lead
a reckless and misdirected expenditure Q
! money belonging TO the associauon.
also said that the association might
drawn into a defense OF some alleged drug
oists who wilfully and maliciously violate
the liquor laws. DR.. Logan's speech was
very effective one.
| Dr. Lyda offered an amendment whic
| proyided that the requisition Tor none
should never exceed the sum in the trea
ury, unless with the consent OF the associi
Dr. Colly shriver also opposed the res
luton and amendment
