to  take  into  consideration  the  expediency  of  relinquishing  the  annual  dues  of  such 
persons  as  shall  have  been  members  twenty-five  years,  and  this  report  the  Board 
directed  to  be  referred  to  the  College  for  its  action  thereon. 
The  matter  was  taken  up  by  the  College,  and  the  report  was  ordered  to  be  read. 
After  a  short  discussion,  the  subject  was  postponed  under  the  rules  for  further  con- 
sideration at  the  next  stated  meeting  of  the  College. 
A  letter  from  George  Y.  Shoemaker,  resigning  his  right  of  membership  in  the 
College,  was  read.    On  motion,  the  resignation  was  accepted.

On  motion  of  Thos.  S.  Wiegand,  the  following  resolution  was  adopted  : 
Resolved,  That  this  College  nominate  and  appoint  a  committee  of  eighteen  members  for  the  purpose 
of  revising  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia,  with  a  view  of  presenting  their  labors  to  the  Convention 
meeting  in  Washington,  in  May,  1880. 
Mr.  Wiegand  advocated  early  action  in  the  matter,  as  the  committee  would  have 
much  to  attend  to. 
Prof  Maisch  coincided  with  the  views  of  Mr.  Wiegand,  and  stated  that  the 
Philadelphia  County  Medical  Society  had  already  appointed  a  committee  to  take 
action  in  the  matter.  He  moved  that  the  committee  be  appointed  by  the  President, 
Vice  Presidents  and  Secretary,  and  announced  at  the  next  stated  meeting  of  the 
College,  which  motion  was  adopted. 
Then,  on  motion,  adjourned.
