These men carried on the work of the college until lolT. when, owing to the death of some members and change of business of others, they were com|)elled lo suspend all lectures. During the period of operation, however, they graduated a number of eminent pharmacists, to whose efforts in resuscitating and reorganizing the college in 1856 much is due. Among the older graduates appear the names of Messrs. Frederick A. Cockrane. Aljiheus P. Sharp. William Thompson. Sanniel Rodgers, J. Faris Moore. John W. Read and Christian Steinhofer. Of these. Messrs. Alpheus P. Sharj) and illiani S.

The sudden death of Professor Phillips caused the election of J. Faris Moore to the vacancy. Professor Moore was one of the older graduates of the C(dlege. and was a consistent and zenlou- worker in Iiebalf of his Alma Mater and in the interest of phar- macN. until his death.
