MINUTE  OF  THE  COLLEGE  MEETING. 
The  annual  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  held 
March  28, 1887.  The  President  in  the  chair.  Twenty-two  members  present. 
The  minute  of  the  last  stated  meeting  was  read  and  adopted.  The  minutes 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  the  meetings  of  January,  February  and  March 
were  presented,  and  on  motion  approved.  At  this  meeting  of  the  College 
the  usual  reports  of  standing  committees,  and  of  other  business  matters  are 
presented.  The  editor's  annual  statement  is  condensed  as  follows  :  "During 
the  year  just  closed,  fifteen  papers  were  read  at  the  various  meetings  fourteen 
of  these  were  published  in  the  Journal — this  is  an  increase  in  such  original 
contributions  over  the  corresponding  previous  period.  In  addition  to  the 
editor's  personal  labors,  only  six  members  of  the  College  contributed  papers^ 
but  acknowledgement  is  due  to  many  writers  who  contribute  though  not 
members.  The  total  number  of  authors  is  seventy-four,  included  in  which 
computation  are  abstracts  from  forty  theses  of  the  graduating  class  of  1886. 
The  gleanings  from  foreign  periodicals  have  mostly  been  compiled  by  Mr. 
Geo.  H.  Ochse,  Ph  G.,  to  whom  readers  have  been  indebted  in  former  years. 
These  compilations  have  been  amplified  by  practical  notes  collected  from 
various  sources. 
The  Committee  on  Publication  offered  the  following  report :  "The  Pub- 
lication Committee  have  the  honor  to  report  that  the  Journal  of  the  College 
has  been  issued  with  its  usual  regularity  and  promptness  during  the  year 
just  closed.  As  an  exponent  and  record  of  the  progress  of  pharmacy,  we 
think  it  well  attains  the  object  for  which  it  was  established  and  deserves  the 
patronage  of  every  pharmacist  who  desires  to  keep  abreast  with  the  pro- 
gress of  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences. 
The  editor's  report  accompanying  this  will  give  in  detail  the  literary  workr 
and  the  treasurer's  report,  the  financial." 
Very  respectfully, 
Henry  N.  Kittenhouse, 
Chairman  Public.  Committee. 
The  Treasurer  of  the  Publication  Committee  presented  the  statistical,  and 
also  the  financial  statement  of  the  Business  Editor,  as  well  as  a  report  of 
the  Treasurer  of  the  Committee  which  latter  was  on  motion,  directed  to  be 
entered  upon  the  minutes.  This  report  gives  as  is  usual  the  business  con- 
dition of  this  department  of  the  College.  The  account  of  the  Treasurer  of 
the  Committee  had  been  vouched  and  audited.  In  order  to  adjust  the  ac- 
count, and  furnish  the  committee  with  the  necessary  working  capital,  or- 
ders for  requisite  amounts  were  on  motion  ordered  to  be  drawn  on  the 
Treasurer  of  the  College,  and  on  the  Treasurer  of  the  Publication  Committee 
respectively. 
The  Librarian  presented  his  annual  statement  which  is  condensed  as  fol- 
lows :  After  enumerating  the  additions  to  the  library,  and  giving  the  char- 
acter of  the  various  works  received  during  the  year,  he  gives  also  a  finan- 
cial account  of  his  current  expenses  which  being  balanced  leaves  a  small 
amount  in  his  hands.
