lege  of  Pharmacy,"  by  Dr.  Robert  P.  Fischelis.  This  required  a 
large  amount  of  painstaking  work,  and  is  a  model  of  its  kind. 
Report  of  the  Librarian. — Miss  Katharine  E.  Nagle  reported 
that  the  total  number  of  books  accessioned  to  date  is  9,079.  Total 
number  of  books  catalogued  6,230,  and  the  cards  filed  alphabetically 
for  consulting.  The  expenditures  during  the  year  have  been  $388.22. 
Use  of  library  by  professors,  students  and  the  public  totaled  3,190. 
In  connection  with  the  report  of  the  librarian,  Professor  Kraemer 
said  that  most  of  us  did  not  appreciate  the  wealth  of  material  we 
possessed,  yet  there  was  a  class  of  publications  that  we  were  defi- 
cient in,  such  as  reports  of  the  National  Wholesale  Drug  Associa- 
tion, trade  organizations  and  reports  of  various  state  associations. 
Much  practical  work  was  recorded  in  these  publications  and  the  help 
and  cooperation  of  the  members  was  asked  to  secure  them.  Mr. 
French  stated  that  his  firm  had  City  Directories  dating  back  to 
about  i860  and  asked  if  they  would  be  of  service  in  the  library. 
Several  members  expressed  themselves  as  favoring  their  acceptance 
by  the  College. 
Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings. — The  chairman  said 
there  have  been  no  meetings  held  during  the  year,  due  in  part  to  the 
fact  that  our  members  were  very  active  in  connection  with  the  Spe- 
cial Exhibition  which  was  held  at  the  time  of  the  meeting  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  also  in  part  to  the  fact 
that  it  has  been  a  very  active  year  at  the  College.  It  is  quite  likely 
that  this  work  will  be  actively  resumed  in  the  near  future  with  profit 
to  our  members  and  an  extension  of  the  influence  of  our  College. 
Report  of  the  Publication  Committee . — In  the  absence  of  the 
chairman,  Professor  S.  P.  Sadtler,  this  report  was  read  by  Pro- 
fessor Remington. 
The  report  for  this  year  does  not  cover  the  entire  'year ;  owing 
to  unavoidable  delay  the  March  issue  did  not  get  into  the  mails  as 
early  as  usual,  so  that  the  financial  report  does  not  include  the 
receipts  for  the  entire  year,  although  all  bills  for  the  year  were  paid. 
Nevertheless  we  have  a  very  substantial  foundation  to  begin  business 
with  this  year  and  we  are  taking  steps  to  increase  both  the  advertis- 
ing and  subscriptions  and  the  outlook  is  rather  promising. 
The  usual  appropriation  from  the  College  for  the  use  of  the 
Journal  was  granted.
