The  report  of  the  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 
contained  a  summary  of  the  matter  that  has  been  published  during 
the  year. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings.  The 
meetings  have  been  held  regularly  during  the  year.  The  formulae 
and  make-up  of  the  National  Formulary  received  considerable 
attention,  and  the  discussions  were  of  practical  interest  to  retail 
pharmacists.  At  one  of  the  meetings  a  resolution  was  passed 
requesting  an  early  revision  of  the  National  Formulary,  and  pledging 
the  assistance  of  the  members  of  the  College  in  carrying  on  the 
work. 
Curator's  Report  by  Joseph  W.  England  : 
The  Museum  is  in  good  condition,  but  is  in  need  of  extension 
in  several  directions.  The  Martindale  and  College  Herbarium  Col- 
lections should  be  rearranged  ;  this  will  entail  considerable  work,  as 
the  numbers  of  the  plants  run  into  the  thousands.  It  is  important 
that  some  provision  be  made  for  the  proper  keeping  and  exhibition 
of  the  historical  collection  of  the  College.  For  this  purpose  new 
cases  are  needed,  which  could  be  placed  in  the  gallery  of  the  Mu- 
seum. A  series  of  Museum  lectures  is  recommended  to  be  given 
during  the  year,  exhibiting  not  only  the  collections  in  the  Museum, 
but  also  those  of  special  historical  and  other  interest  contained  in 
the  collections  of  the  teachers.  Thus,  one  lecture  could  be  devoted 
to  the  Martindale  and  College  Collection  of  plants,  and  one  to  plant 
products,  one  to  chemical  products,  and  one  to  pharmaceutical  pro- 
ducts, etc.  These  lectures  would  be  useful  in  making  known  the 
value  of  the  collections,  and  would  also  open  the  door  for  the  pre- 
sentation of  new  specimens,  and  thus  keep  the  collections  up-to- 
date. 
The  Curator  also  suggested  that  the  various  collections  in  the 
College  might  be  utilized  for  exhibition  purposes  during  Founders' 
week  in  October  next. 
In  the  discussion  that  followed  the  reading  of  the  Curator's  re- 
port, Professors  Remington  and  Sadtler  commended  the  suggestion 
of  having  the  Museum  lectures.  On  motion,  the  report  was  refer- 
red to  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  consideration. 
Librarian's  Report  by  Thomas  S.  Wiegand :

tion a  number  of  volumes  have  been  donated.    The  library  has
