During  each  of  the  last  three  years  sixteen  members  of  the  College  have  written  for  the  "Journal," 
while  their  contributions  have  increased  from  twenty  seven  in  1876  to  thirty-five  in  1877,  and  forty-one 
during  the  year  just  closed,  without  counting  those  of  the  corresponding  and  honorary  members. 
Four  of  the  published  papers  had  been  read  before  pharmaceutical  associations  in  other  cities,  and 
twenty-one  at  meetings  held  in  this  College. 
The  chairman  of  the  Sinking  Fund  Committee  furnished  a  statement  of  the 
condition  of  the  fund,  which  shows  that  the  College  is  steadily  discharging  its 
indebtedness. 
A  letter  from  William  Evans,  tendering  his  resignation  as  a  member  of  the 
College,  was  read,  and,  on  motion,  accepted. 
Prof.  Maisch  stated  that  a  number  of  answers  had  been  received  from  individuals 
and  associations  abroad,  stating  that  the  offers  of  this  College  to  furnish  specimens 
of  indigenous  drugs  would  be  acceptable,  and  that  they  would  endeavor  to  recip- 
rocate such  favors  as  far  as  practicable,  by  exchanges  of  such  drugs  as  were 
indigenous  to  their  localities. 
Mr.  Bullock  moved  that  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  to  consider  the  pro- 
priety of  changing  the  mode  of  electing  the  Board  of  Trustees;  the  committee  to 
perfect  a  plan  and  report  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  College. 
The  motion,  after  discussion,  was  adopted,  and  the  following  gentlemen  were 
appointed  the  committee,  viz.:  Chas.  Bullock,  Ambrose  Smith,  Thos.  S.  Wiegand, 
Daniel  S.  Jones,  Robert  Shoemaker. 
This  being  the  Annual  Meeting,  an  election  was  ordered.  The  President
