PHARMACY MEETING.

The half-yearly meeting of the Ontario College of Pharmacy was opened in the college buildings, Gerrard Street East, Toronto, on Tuesday, August 6th, at 3 o’clock p.m. There were present: Mr. John A. Clark, Hamilton; Mr. J. E. D’Avignon, Windsor; John J. Hall, Woodstock; G. S. Hobart, Kingston; Andrew Jeffrey, Toronto; L. T. Lawrence, London; John McKee, Peterboro’; J. H. Mackenzie, Toronto; C. H. McGregor, Brantford; A. B. Petrie, Guelph; J. W. Slaven, Orillia, and Henry Watters, Ottawa.

On the motion of Mr. John McKee, seconded by Mr. Andrew Jeffrey, the President, Mr. John A. Clark, Hamilton, was appointed Chairman.

The Chairman called upon Mr. Isaac T. Lewis who read the result of the election of members to the council and the number of ballots cast for each and the same was approved.

President Clark said that when he undertook the duties of president two years ago, he realized that it would be a task of considerable difficulty to discharge the duties to the satisfaction of the members of the Board. He hoped the meeting would not be characterised by any unpleasant feeling such as had been manifested in the late Council.

Nominations for Vice-President having been declared in order, Mr. J. E D’Avignon moved the appointment of Mr. W. B. Saunders, and Mr. C. H. McGregor moved Mr. J. Hall. Mr. Hall was elected, only one ballot being cast for Mr. Saunders who was not present.

The Vice-President, in the course of a brief speech, expressed the reluctance he felt in opposing Mr. Hall. He would reserve his reasons for doing so until Mr. Saunders was present. It was necessary in giving effect to the new act that men who held office before should be identified with the Council. He would do his best to secure for the college any of the benefits obtained from the act.
