Philadelphia  CoiiLEGE  of  Pharmacy. — In  the  May  number  of  the 
Journal,  p.  258,  we  have  given  a  description  of  the  improvements  now 
in  progress  at  this  College;  the  annexed  ground  plans  will  render  this 
description  more  intelligible,  the  portions  marked  6,  10,  13  and  4th  floor 
comprising  the  new  building. 
In  the  early  history  of  the  College  the  professors  devoted  a  portion  of 
each  lecture  hour  to  a  review  of  the  preceding  lecture  by  questions  put  to 
the  students.  Subsequently,  as  the  classes  grew  in  size,' and  methods  of 
instruction  improved,  an  afternoon  was  set  apart  for  this  purpose;  and 
when  the  graded  course  of  instruction  was  adopted  the  reviews  were  left 
to  former  graduates  and  to  the  Alumni  Association.  The  Board  of  Trus- 
tees have  now  authorized  the  professors  each  to  appoint  an  assistant,  whose 
duty  it  is,  besides  aiding  the  professor  in  preparing  the  lecture,  to  quiz 
those  students  who  desire  it  upon  their  knowledge  of  the  previous  lectures, 
for  which  service  a  small  fee  is  to  be  paid.  The  assistants  selected  by  the 
professors,  and  contirmed  by  the  Board  of  Trusteess  are  the  following 
graduates  of  this  College  :  John  E.  Cook,  materia  medica  and  botany  ;  C. 
Fred.  Zeller,  pharmacy,  and  Henry  Trimble,  chemistry.
