evening,  May  26.  A  resolution  of  thanks  was  also  extended  to  the 
Rev.  Llewellyn  Caley  for  the  services  which  he  rendered  upon  the 
same  occasion.  In  appreciation  of  the  very  able  baccalaureate 
sermon  delivered  Sunday  afternoon,  May  22,  by  the  Rev.  David  M.

imous vote  of  thanks  was  extended  Rev.  Mr.  Steele. 
A  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  to  Miss  Mary  Dobbins  for  the 
presentation  to  the  College  of  a  picture  of  the  Old  Physic  Garden 
of  the  Society  of  Apothecaries  at  Chelsea,  England  (1750).  The

to  the  collection  of  the  College.

Kremers  has  been  filled  by  the  election  of  Professor  Solomon  Solis  Cohen,

International  Exhibition  Award. — The  exhibit  of  the  Wellcome  Chem- 
ical Research  Laboratories  at  the  International  Exhibition  at  Brussels,  which, 
unfortunately,  was  completely  destroyed  by  fire  in  August  last,  has  been 
awarded  three  grand  prizes  (Grand  Prix)  and  one  gold  medal;  and  for  an 
exhibit  at  the  Japan-British  Exhibition  held  in  London  during  the  past 
summer,  one  grand  prize  was  also  received.  When  one  reflects  upon  the 
large  number  of  researches  carried  on  in  these  laboratories,  and  as  seen  in 
the  numerous  scientific  papers  published  under  the  direction  of  the  director, 
Dr.  Frederick  B.  Power,  we  are  quite  prepared  to  learn  of  the  announcement 
of  these  awards.

valuable  lecture  will  be  published  in  an  early  issue  of  this  Journal.
