MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
A  communication  from  Thos.  H.  Montgomery,  a  member  and  graduate 
of  this  College,  informing  that  he  had  withdrawn  from  the  business  on  ac- 
count of  ill  health,  and  desired  to  withdraw  from  membership,  was  read  and 
accepted,  and  by  a  vote  of  the  College  he  was  allowed  to  retain  his  certificate 
of  membership,  at  his  own  request, 
The  following  report  of  the  Publishing  Committee,  accompanied  by  a 
statement  of  its  Treasurer,  was  read  and  accepted. 
To  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
The  Publishing  Committee  respectfully  report,  that  since  their  last  com- 
munication to  the  College,  the  Journal  has  issued  regularly  every  other 
month  at  or  before  the  appointed  time.  The  change  then  announced  as 
having  been  adopted,  in  regard  to  the  increased  size  of  the  Volume,  has  now 
been  tried  for  more  than  a  year,  and  the  subscribers  having  had  an  opportu- 
nity to  consider  the  new  arrangement  have  generally  given  it  their  approval. 
The  printing  and  paper  required  by  the  extra  copies  and  the  larger  size  of 
the  Journal  have  caused  a  much  larger  demand  on  the  Treasurer,  and  the 
Committee  believe  it  inexpedient  to  withdraw  any  funds  from  his  balance,  for 
the  sinking  fund,  except  the  $50  usually  appropriated. 
The  Report  of  the  Treasurer,  annexed  here  unto,  will  exhibit  the  state  of  the 
finances  of  the  Journal)  all  of  which  is  submitted  by
