Library, is also rapidly assuming a 

 position of authority and usefulness. 

 Through the reorganization of our 

 Alumni Journal, appropriate informa- 

 tion from this source is being given to 

 the public, which adds greatly to the 

 usefulness of the Bureau. 



Important improvements in the equip- 

 ment of the institution have been made 

 during the past year or are now in proc- 

 ess of inauguration. The most import- 

 ant of these are a large increase in our 

 supply of microscopes, and the installa- 

 tion of first class steel lockers for the 

 property of the students, similar to those 

 in use in other buildings of the Uni- 

 versity. 



It is with a peculiar sense of sorrow 

 that we have to record the death, in 

 December last, of our talented and faith- 

 ful Professor of Analytical Giemistry. 

 Dr. Anton Vorisek. Dr. Vorisek. like 

 so many of our eminent men, came to 

 this country as a poor immigrant and 

 built up his fortunes by his own unaided 

 efforts. He served the country faith- 

 fully and well as a pharmiacist in the 

 navy during the Spanish War an>l was 

 soon after appointed to a subordinate 

 position in our pharmacy department, 

 from which he steadi-y rose to the posi- 

 tion of Professor of Analytical Chem- 

 istry and Director of the Chemical 

 Laboratory. His death has necessitated 

 a number of important changes in that 

 department.
