 Assistant Librarian 



Those members of the alumni who 

 read the library notes will be interested 

 to know that seventy-seven boimd vol- 

 umes have been added during the past 

 month. This number includes the fifty- 

 four volumes of The Pharmaceutical Era 

 and the Pharmaceutische Centralhalle 

 that have recently been put into shape 

 and returned from the bindei*y. Eighteen 

 of the seventy-seven are volumes of the 

 Chemisches Central-Blatt, which have 

 arrived from Germany after a long and 

 eventful journey, having started at the 

 beginning of the war, to replace an un- 

 sightly collection of imperfect, unbound 

 volumes. The remaining six include a 

 volume of the Pharmaceutische Zeitung 

 from the bindery, Hudder's book on Li- 

 dexing and Filing, New York, 1916, and 

 four gifts : a presentation copy from Pro- 

 fessor William Mansfield of his just pub- 

 lished "The Histology of Medicinal 

 Plants ;" an edition de luxe copy of the 

 new Pharmacopoeia, originally presented 

 to Professor Arny as member of the Re- 

 vision Committee, and kindly re-pre- 

 scnted by him,, as librarian, to the Li- 

 brary; and an Andrews Latin-English 

 and a Liddell and Scott Greek-English 

 lexicon from the assistant librarian. 



Besides these. Dean Rusby has enabled 

 us from his own library to complete our 

 file of the Columbia University Quar- 

 terly, from Vol. VIII, 1905-6, to date. 



We beg to acknowledge also, with 

 many thanks, "Bibliographical Contribu- 

 tions from the Lloyd Library," Vol. II, 



Nos. 10 and 11. These contain a "Bib- 

 liography Relating to Botany Exclusive 

 of Floras" (authors I-L), by Miss Edith 

 Wycofif, the librarian, and with their 

 careful cataloging, are of immense inter- 

 est to any one in quest of the botanical 

 material which can be obtained in 

 American libraries, and to those who are 

 desirous of knowing more about the 

 treasures of the Lloyd Library itself. 



The advent of the new Pharmacopoeia 

 has been*made the occasion for a second 

 exhibition in the show-case of the full 

 set of U. S. Pharmacopoeias owned by 

 the Library. This year the different 

 editions of the National Formulary are 

 added to the display. 



An exhibition of this material seems 

 so peculiarly fitting for the College of 

 Pharmacy to make and so appropriately 

 commemorative of the real founder of 

 the Library, Dr. Qiarles Rice, that it has 

 afforded the assistant librarian unusual 

 pleasure to be charged with the respon- 

 sibility of arranging it. For, was it not 

 Dr. Rice's devotion to the cause, as chair- 

 man of the Revision Committee for so 

 many years, that put this collection into 

 shape from the beginning, and left his 

 impress, even in its handsome bind- 

 ings, and in the very words and turns of 

 thought of the books themselves ! And 

 the early parts of the National Formulary 

 lie spread out like an open page of auto- 

 biography, testifying to Dr. Rice's indus-
