THE AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
ledge is to be very heartily welcomed by all, the Council is to be warmly 
congratulated upon having been positioned to institute the new order of things, 
from which most beneficial results to pharmacy, to the industries whose products 
are dependent upon a knowledge of chemistry, and to the public at large, cannot 
fail to accrue. If any tinge of reservation attaches to this congratulation, it 
will be solely due to a general regret that the claims of the College of Pharmacy 
were not earlier recognised, so that the Council might have been enabled to 
institute these most valuable reforms at a much earlier date.
