CHICAGO, November 21, 1912.

President

Edmund J. James,

University

of Illinois, Urbana, III.

semi-annual meeting of the officers and

Executive Committee of the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association held in Chicago yesterday the following resolution was adopted: The Illinois Pharmaceutical Association respectfully petitions the Trustees of the University of Illinois to include in their legislative askings at the coming session of the Legislature the sum of $200,000 to purchase a site in Chicago and erect and equip a building for the School of Pharmacy. The Illinois Pharmaceutical Association at two annual conventions has adopted resolutions asking that such an appropriation be granted. The association desires to call respectful attention to the desirability of a permanent home for the school, where suitable equipment could be provided without the need of considering questions of removal, etc. We also ask that the advantage to druggists generally in housing and providing for a pharmaceutical library, based on the nucleus now offered by the library of the school, be considered. Suitable sites for the purpose are becoming more difficult to locate and increasing in cost each year. We deem this a favorable time to ask for this appropriation, and we pledge our earnest efforts to aid in securing It. The association appointed a committee and authorized the expenditure of a sum not to exceed $250 by this committee in enlisting the support of the druggists throughout the State for this measure. Very respectfully, W. B. DAY, Secretary.
