MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
Pharmacy  has  been  issued  regularly  since  the  last  Annual  Meeting. 
Owing  to  the  increased  cost  of  paper  and  printing,  the  size  of  the  num- 
ber was  reduced  in  September  last  from  96  to  80  pages,  the  subscription 
price  remaining  unchanged.  By  this  course  the  College  has  not  been 
called  upon  for  funds,  as  the  collections  have  proved  sufficient  to  carry 
on  the  work,  with  rigid  economy ;  yet  the  Editor  regrets  his  inability  to 
republish  several  valuable  papers,  owing  to  the  cost  of  their  illustrations. 
The  condition  of  the  finances  of  the  Journal  are  exhibited  in  the  ap- 
pended report  of  the  Treasurer,  which  presents  a  small  balance  in  favor 
of  the  Committee.

The  Committee  on  Latin  Labels  presented  a  report,  which  was  read 
and  accepted,  from  which  we  learn  that  labels  to  the  value  of  $574  re- 
main on  hand,  and  a  cash  balance  of  $99. 
The  following  Report  of  the  Committee  on  Sinking  Fund  was  read, 
accepted,  and  an  order  directed  to  be  drawn  on  the  Treasurer  of  the 
College,  as  requested. 
Philadelphia,  Third  mo.  27th,  1865. 
To  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
The  Committee  on  the  Sinking  Fund  report,  That  since  the  last  Annual 
Meeting  of  the  College,  they  have  received  from  the  Committee  on  Latin 
Labels  five  hundred  dollars,  and  have  paid  that  amount  to  S.  N.  James 
on  account  of  mortgage,  reducing  the  debt  of  the  College  to  $1000. 
From  the  Annual  Report  of  our  Treasurer,  there  appears  to  be  rather 
more  in  his  bands,  together  with  the  annual  subscriptions  now  due,  than 
necessary  for  the  current  expenses  of  the  College  ;  and  we  therefore  pro- 
pose that  an  order  be  drawn  in  favor  of  the  Committee  on  the  Sinking  Fund 
for  two  hundred  dollars,  to  be  applied  to  the  remaining  debt  of  the 
College.  Respectfully, 
Samuel  F.  Troth, 
Ambrose  Smith, 
Edward  Parrish, 
Committee.

Murray  acknowledges  the  notice  of  his  election  to  honorary  membership 
in  this  College.
