80 
MINUTES OF PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. 
The Committee on the Cabinet of Specimens made the following 
report, and were released from further attention to the subject: 
" That since their last communication, they have expended the 
appropriations made at that time, as will be seen by the annexed 
statement, and that they have filled up all the glass ware with 
specimens, chiefly those of materia medica, without any cost to the 
College. The Committee believe that a small appropriation, to be 
devoted to the purchase of a further supply of glass ware, would be 
attended with advantage, as they believe many more valuable spe- 
cimens, especially chemicals, can be obtained without cost, if ap- 
propriate places of deposit were in the cases. The Committee now 
ask to be discharged, believing, that the further enlargement of the 
Cabinet, and the expenditure of the appropriation, should the Col- 
lege think proper to make it now, or at a future time, can be as well 
made by the Standing Committee on the Cabinet.
