retail. Membership consists of three classes, namely, active members, pharmacists, drug- gists, and teachers of pharmacy, chemistry or botany; associate members, traveling men so- liciting the drug trade; and honorary mem- bers, the wives and daughters of members and other persons approved by the executive committee.
History .- Pharmacy as a business is of re- cent development in the State. In early days drugs were usually kept in stock by the gen- eral merchants in the larger towns and cities, and they in turn supplied smaller merchants in the interior, as well as many of the physi- cians. Prior to 1881, there were probably not more than fifty places, even if that num- ber, where drugs were kept and upon which prescriptions were given in the form now uni- versal. These were called apothecary shops. And it was not until about the same time that the compounding of drugs and the mak- ing up of special remedies called for specially trained men. Some physicians, particularly those trained in the better schools, ordered their supplies from manufacturers in New York, Philadelphia, and other points in the North and East; and many had offices which were stocked with small lots of the staple needs. Every old-time physician had his saddlebags filled with vials and bottles, con- taining everything usually found necessary in his practice.
The early drugs consisted of blue mass, calomel, castor oil, quinine, camphor gum, turpentine, compound cathartic pills, tartar emetic, sulphur, gum opium, and a few "patent medicines," "remedies" or "cures." These were supplemented, on the part of the people themselves, by powders, teas, or de- coctions made from various herbs, roots or leaves. Salves were made from beef tallow or mutton suet. Antiseptics were unknown. Practically no chemicals were brought into the State for drug uses. Pills, powders and liquids were the forms in which drugs were sold or dispensed.
In Mobile, Montgomery, Selma, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville were located probably the only drug stores in the State as late as 1830. In Huntsville Wm. B. Smith and David Cannon & Co. had such stores as early as 1825. Wharton & Smith succeeded Dr. Watkins a short time later. F. Burn, C. C. Morgan and R. Alexander & Co. had stores there in 1827, Burn retiring that year. George Holton and John Y. Bassett were in business in 1828, and George A. Smith and Bassett were the drug- gists in 1829 and 1830. As early as 1826 Robert B. Armistead operated a castor-oil pressing establishment 3 1/2 miles from Hunts- ville; and this oil was advertised for sale by the druggists and commission men in the Tennessee Valley.
In Mobile, in 1828, S. Mordecai and A. Monroux had establishments, apparently of some size. M. M. Woodruff and N. Sanford and Monroux were in business there in 1829 and 1830. All the foregoing were wholesale as well as retail, and carried what is generally the stock of the modern wholesale business, including drugs, paints, oils and sundries.

PHARMACY, STATE BOARD OF. A State executive board, first established on February 28, 1887, reorganized in 1915, to regulate the practice of pharmacy and the sale of drugs, poisons, etc., in the State. It consists of five members of the Alabama Pharmaceutical Association (q. v.), licensed as pharmacists, with at least 10 years prac- tical experience, actively engaged in prac- tice in the State, and not connected with any school of pharmacy, who are appointed by the governor, one each year, for five-year terms, upon the nomination of the phar- maceutical association. Members are re- quired to subscribe to an oath of office, and no two of them may reside in the same county. The president, secretary, and treasurer are elected annually from the members, and the latter two must give surety bonds.
The duties of the board are to hold annual meetings for examination of candidates, and necessary additional meetings for that pur- pose and to transact other business; to define and designate nonpoisonous domestic remedies; to adopt rules and regulations to govern its proceedings and the practice of pharmacy; to keep a record of its proceed- ings and a register of persons to whom cer- tificates, licenses and permits are issued; to make an annual written report to the gover- nor and to the Alabama Pharmaceutical As- sociation. It is authorized to employ coun- sel to assist in the enforcement of the drug laws and regulations. The secretary receives a salary fixed by the board and his expenses while engaged in the discharge of his duties, and the other members $5 and their expenses for each day actually engaged with their of- ficial duties, all payable from the proceeds of examination and registration fees and with- out cost to the State.
Genesis .- Prior to the passage of the act of 1887, the regulation of the drug business had been under the supervision of the State medical association (q. v.), along with dentis- try and the practice of medicine. The drug- gists felt that they were merely a "side issue" to the doctors of medicine and, upon the or- ganization of the pharmaceutical association in 1881, immediately commenced to lay plans for removing their interests from the care of the physicians' organization and placing them under a board composed of their own members. They were also actuated by the feeling that pharmacy should be raised to the dignity of a profession, and its tendency toward degeneration into mere merchandis- ing arrested. Moreover, they believed that the lives and health of the people depended as much upon the competence and integrity
1114

of the prescriptionist as upon those qualities in the physician, inasmuch as a mistake of either might have serious or even fatal re- sults. And, finally, the educated and trained pharmacists, who had spent years in study and preparation, wanted protection against the untrained and irresponsible dispenser of nostrums and inferior drugs who was in the business alone for profit, and this could be accomplished only by requiring all vendors of drugs to stand examinations and obtain licenses from an official hoard having the sanction of law.
Accordingly, a pharmacy law was drawn under the auspices of the association and sub- mitted to the legislature during the session of 1882-83, but it was not acted upon. Cer- tain provisions of the proposed bill were altered and it was again presented at the ses- sion of 1884-85. The house committee, after much delay, made some further changes and reported it favorably. It was passed by the house but did not reach the senate in time for passage. The bill's sponsor and staunch advocate in the house was Col. Sam Will John, of Selma, to whose able efforts its passage by that body was due. Some of the representatives opposed it on the ground that it would injure their druggist and general- store friends in the small towns and rural districts. Hence, as finally passed, its pro- visions applied only to the eight counties con- taining the larger towns and cities of the State. The bill was reintroduced at the ses- sion of 1886-87, and, having been amended so as to apply only to towns of 1,000 or more inhabitants, became a law on February 28, 1887. The board then created was made up of three members serving three years instead of five members serving five years as at pres- ent.
At the meeting of the association following the passage of the law, Pres. A. L. Stollen- werck said: "Since our last very pleasant meeting in Birmingham the all-important Pharmacy Law, through the untiring efforts of this association, has been passed, and even though it leaves the people of small towns unprotected, it is a great stride toward ac- complishing our original purpose, and I know meets the hearty approval of all the reputable druggists of the State, and certainly of the members of this association. . . . We have just cause to congratulate ourselves on the passage of this law, as we were its fram- ers, and through us presented to the legis- lature. Our excellent governor has exercised his usual good judgment in the appointment of a board of pharmacy, and at the same time pays us a handsome compliment in selecting the board from the ranks of our association. This should also encourage us in our task. .
A special law was passed on February 14, 1895, to permit regularly graduated physi- cians, entitled to practice medicine in this State, also to fill prescriptions, compound and sell medicines and poisons, and to carry on the business of a drug store or apothecary shop.
In 1907 the general law was reenacted, vir-
tually without change, except that its pro- visions were made applicable to towns having more than 900 inhabitants.

PHI BETA KAPPA. Honorary College fraternity; founded at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va., December 5, 1776; and the oldest of Greek letter fraterni- ties. It was originally a secret society, with literary and social objects, but its develop- ment had nothing in common with the type of fraternity organizations now generally known. Two important reasons brought this about, one, the rise of the fraternity at a time when there was warm agitation against secret organizations, and the other, the ab- sence of the necessity at that period, for club life among student groups. It remained, therefore, for another organization to spring up to meet the student need, while Phi Beta Kappa devoted itself to the promotion of scholarship ideals, and the encouragement of literature and philosophy. Its literature for the first 50 years of its history consisted largely of orations and essays delivered dur- ing commencements. "The primary object of Phi Beta Kappa is to encourage and reward scholarship among undergraduates." The Key, Oct., 1913. Membership is restricted to honor graduates of an A. B. collegiate institu- tion. It was not until 1875 that women were admitted. Baird observes that "this was obviously not intended by the founders, but fidelity to the test of scholarship required it."
It entered Alabama in 1851, with the in- stallation of Alabama Alpha at the State Uni- versity, directly through the agency of Prof. F. A. P. Barnard of the faculty, who was a member of Yale chapter. However, this was not accomplished without some opposition. After about 10 years of successful ongoing the chapter was discontinued because of the War. It was revived by authorization of the Eleventh National Council, held on Septem- ber 10, 1913, in the College of the City of New York. As a result of a suggestion hy Harvard chapter, a conference of representa- tives of sixteen chapters was held on Septem- her 5, 1883, and a National Council of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa was formed. It meets triennially. Periodical: "The Phi Beta Kappa Key." Badge: Popu- larly known as The Key; on one side are the Greek letters O. B. K., indicating the motto Philosophia Biou Kubernetas, "Philoso- phy the guide of life," with a hand pointing toward a group of stars in the upper left-hand corner, representing the noble aspirations of the organization; on the other, are the let- ters, S. P., in script, standing for the words "Societas Philosophiae," December 5, 1776,
