MINUTES  OF  THE  ANNUAL  MEETING  OF  THE 
COLLEGE. 
The  annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  College  was  held  March  26,  at  4 
o'clock,  P.M.,  Charles  Bullock  presiding,  twenty -two  members  being  present. 
The  minutes  of  the  last  stated  meeting  (December,  1893)  and  of  the  special 
meeting  of  February  16,  1894,  were  read  and  adopted.  The  minutes  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  for  January,  February  and  March  were  read  and  adopted. 
Reports  of  Committees  and  Officers  being  in  order,  the  Committee  on  Publi- 
cation submitted  the  following  synopsis  :  Reference  is  made  to  the  fact  that 
the  Committee  have  remained  an  unbroken  unit  for  twenty  years,  and  until 
the  death  of  Professor  Maisch  no  change  had  occurred.  That  during  the 
greater  portion  of  this  time,  the  publication  of  the  Journal  afforded  a  satis- 
factory margin  of  profit,  and  in  addition  to  subscribers  the  publication  has  been 
furnished  free  of  charge  to  every  member  in  good  standing  and  to  all  the 
exchanges.  During  the  protracted  illness  of  Professor  Maisch,  his  son,  H.  C.  C. 
Maisch,  assisted  by  a  member  of  the  family,  performed  the  editorial  work 
in  a  very  satisfactory  manner.  Owing,  therefore,  to  circumstances,  the  Com- 
mittee have  no  detailed  report  to  present. 
The  Treasurer  of  Publication  Committe  and  the  Business  Editor  presented 
financial  statements,  as  usual.  • 
The  Librarian  reported  a  total  expenditure  for  the  year  for  new  books  and 
binding  of  $320.05,  and  stated  that  16  volumes  had  been  presented  to  the 
College  Library,  also  10  Consular  Reports,  7  Reports  of  Smithsonian  Institute, 
miscellaneous  20. 
The  Curator  stated  that  since  the  last  report,  and  during  the  year  past,  a 
number  of  valuable  acquisitions  had  been  made  to  the  museum  collection,  but 
called  particular  attention  to  the  fact  that  Professor  Maisch's  personal  collection 
of  more  than  3,000  specimens  had  been  devised  to  the  College. 
The  Secretary  read  a  letter  of  acknowledgment  from  Baron  Von  Mueller, 
Government  Botanist,  in  Her  Majesty's  Service,  at  Melbourne,  having  compli- 
mentary reference  to  his  election  as  an  honorary  member  of  the  College.
