Abstract
THE centenary of the foundation of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain occurred on April 15, 1941. Thirty years ago, congratulating the Society on its seventieth anniversary, NATURE observed that it was “an event of considerable interest, which is not wholly confined to those who practise the art of pharmacy”. The same may be said, with emphasis, on the occasion of the centenary. It is no small thing even for an institution to survive ten decades. The mere fact is proof of its stamina and its usefulness; a hundred years on and how many fall by the way. The Pharmaceutical Society has gone from strength to strength, and it may be said to-day that its place among the nation's useful foundations was never more secure and its service to the State never more highly esteemed or more needed.
