MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
The  occasional  demand  for  sets  of  back  volumes  has  raised  the  question 
whether  it  will  not  be  advisable  to  republish  several  numbers  now  out  of 
print,  and  thus  enable  the  Committee  to  dispose  of  the  considerable  num- 
ber of  volumes  rendered  incomplete,  as  a  set,  owing  to  this  cause."

lease of  the  older  members  from  the  annual  contributions.  Daniel  S. 
Jones,  Ambrose  Smith,  Thomas  P.  James,  and  S.  F.  Troth,  were  appointed 
to  the  service. 
Frederick  Klett,  having  retired  from  the  drug  business,  and  having
