Prof.  Procter, 
Dear  Sir  : 
I  have  the  pleasure  of  announcing  to  you  that  a  College  of  Phar- 
macy was  founded  in  our  City  two  months  ago,  under  the  name  of  the 
"  Saint  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy." 
I  have  been  requested  to  forward  to  you,  for  publication  in  your  excel- 
lent Journal,  the  names  of  the  officers  elected.  The  Board  of  Trustees 
have  decided  to  defer  the  commencement  of  lectures  until  next  Novem- 
ber ;  the  Professors  of  the  College  have  not  been  elected  yet.  We  have 
adopted  the  Constitution  and  By-Laws  of  the  Philadelphia  College. 
Knowing  the  interest  you  always  manifest  towards  the  progress  of  Pharm- 
acy as  a  Science,  we  are  sure  you  cordially  extend  towards  us  the  right 
hand  of  fellowship,  and  wish  us  good  success  in  our  undertaking. 
I  am,  dear  sir,  truly  yours,

The  United  States  Dispensatory.  The  twelfth  edition  of  this  great 
work,  which  has  been  in  course  of  revision  during  several  years  past,  is 
rapidly  approaching  completion.  Its  appearance  has  been  delayed  by 
the  death  of  Dr.  Bache,  throwing  the  labor  chiefly  on  Dr.  Wood  ;  but 
especially  by  the  unusual  mass  of  materials  which  seven  years  have 
evolved,  including  the  many  changes  rendered  necessary  by  the  revision 
of  the  United  States  and  British  Pharmacopoeias.  With  every  endeavor  to 
keep  the  size  of  the  volume  within  its  present  limits,  more  than  a  hundred 
pages  will  be  added  to  it,  notwithstanding  the  great  saving  of  space  by 
the  consolidation  of  the  three  British  Pharmacopoeias  into  one.  There  is 
every  reason  to  believe  that  the  work  will  be  published  between  the 
middle  and  the  end  of  March. 
Our  School  of  Pharmacy. — About  thirty  students  of  the  Class  1864 — 
65  have  passed  the  examination  of  the  present  term,  out  of  a  class  of  106. 
The  Annual  Commencement  will  be  held  on  Saturday  evening,  the  11th  of 
March,  at  the  Musical  Fund  Hall,  on  which  occasion  Prof.  Parrish  is  ex- 
pected to  deliver  the  Valedictory  Address.
