ittinutcs of tl)c College, 
At a stated meeting of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, held 3d 
month 29th, 1842. 
Since the last stated meeting, the Board of Trustees have elected Joseph 
B. McMackin, William W. D. Livermore, Caleb R. Keeney, Thomas S. Wie- 
gand, Charles S. Braddock and Evan T, Ellis, members. By their minutes 
the College was also informed that a Public Commencement had been held, 
and the Degree of Graduate in Pharmacy had been conferred upon the 
Graduates of the Institution, whose names were published in the last num- 
ber of the Journal. 
The Delegates appointed to represent the College in the Convention held 
at New York, on the subject of establishing uniform standards for im- 
ported drugs and medicines, by which their admission should be regulated 
alike in all parts of the United States, reported they had attended at the 
time proposed, and participated in the proceedings of the Convention. 
The following Report of the Publishing Committee, accompanied by the 
statement of the Treasurer was read: 
To the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. 
" The Publishing Committee respectfully report, 
That the Journal has been issued regularly since last report. A more 
general interest appears to be gradually awakening, manifested by an in- 
creased subscription list, and by the number of communications from dis- 
tant contributors. 
The suggestions brought forward in the last report relative to an increase 
of matter, have been carried out, so that each number embraces one-fourth 
more than formerly, in the same number of pages. 
Notwithstanding this enlargement of volume, it is the opinion of many 
that the price charged for the work is greater than is usual for such peri- 
odicals, when its quarterly issue has been taken into consideration, and it 
has been hinted on several occasions that the work should appear at shorter 
intervals. 
These, and other suggestions which have been made from time to time, 
have not been lost on the Committee and Editor, who desire to act in the 
matter in the way best adapted to advance the object for which the Journal 
was established, as well as to keep its finances in the healthy condition 
they now present.
