were  also  read  by  Wni.  C.  Bakes,  Heeretary,  and,  on  motion,  adopted. 
By  these  minutes  the  College  is  informed  that,  of  the  late  Class,  one 
hundred  and  fory  students  had  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  con- 
ferred upon  them,  being  the  largest  number  of  graduates  for  one  year  in 
the  history  of  the  institution. 
At  the  last  meeting  the  matter  of  the  enlargement  of  the  College  build- 
ing was  brought  before  the  Board,  and,  after  an  explanation  of  the  intended 
improvements,  accompanied  by  plans  showing  the  designs  of  all  the  stories, 
the  project  was  agreed  to  and  a  Finance  Committee  was  appointed  to  raise 
funds  to  carry  the  same  into  effect,  the  intention  being  to  erect  a  four 
story  building  with  another  lecture  room,  two  laboratories,  and  other  rooms 
suitable  for  class  societies. 
Caleb  H.  Needles  asked  for  information  regarding  the  action  of  the 
committee  appointed  by  the  Board  to  confer  with  the  County  Medical 
vSociety.  Mr.  Bullock,  on  l)ehalf  the  committee,  replied  that  the  pub- 
lished rejwrt  (see  page  89  of  the  February  number)  contained  the  results 
of  the  conference,  and  that  the  questions  raised  by  the  circular  of  the 
Medico-legal  Bociety  had  been  considered  fully  by  the  "  Drug  Trade  Asso- 
ciation," in  whose  hands  the  matter  now  rested. 
Thomas  S.  AViegand,  Librarian,  reported  that  there  had  been  added  to 
the  Library  since  last  report  tifty-five  volumes  by  purchase,  and  that  he 
has  had  forty-tive  additional  volumes  bound  and  placed  u^^on  the  shelves. 
The  report  was,  on  motion,  accepted. 
CURATOR'S  REPORT. 
The  Curator  would  respectfullj' report  that  there  have  been  some  additions  to  tlie  Cabinet  since  his 
last  report,  but  owing  to  the  want  of  room  and  time,  the  arrangement  of  the  specimens  has  been  deferred. 
It  is  hoped,  that  with  the  incx'eased  facilities  that  the  proposed  alterations  will  aftbrd,  the  museum  may  be 
made  much  larger,  and  the  specimens  easily  accessible  to  all  the  of  members. 
JOSEPH  P.  REMINGTON,  Cumtor. 
Prof.  Maisch  stated  that  a  large  number  of  specimens  of  drugs  had  recently 
arrived  from  the  Curator  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Clreat  Britain. 
The  rei3ort  of  the  Curator  was,  on  motion,  accepted. 
Henry  N.  Rittenhouse,  Chairman  of  the  Publication  Committee  read  the 
following  report  which  was  accepted  : 
To  the  Officers  and  Members  of  the  PliiUuMplda  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
The  Committee  on  Publication  respectfully  report,  that  the  Journal  has  been  issiied  with  the  usual 
regularity.  The  Committee  feel  it  due  to  Mr.  T.  S.  Wiegand  to  express  their  obligation  to  him  for  over- 
sight of  the  editorial  department  during  the  absence  in  Europe  of  the  editor. 
The  Treasurer's  report  will  shoAV  a  satisfactory  condition.  The  balance  of  money  in  his  hands  is  not 
as  large  as  it  was  the  previous  year,  owing  to  the  cost  of  the  Decennial  Index  and  a  number  of  accounts 
not  yet  collected,  but  which  are  considered  good.

tee, and  more  especially  by  Mr.  Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  who  kindly  attended  to  the  various  details.
