to  contribute  articles  and  in  other  ways  promote  the  objects  of  the 
Journal.  The  following  graduates  have  contributed  articles  during 
the  year:  George  M.  Beringer,  George  M.  Beringer,  Jr.,  Dr.  Robert 
A.  Hatcher,  Victor  O.  Homerberg,  Henry  Kraemer,  Professor

The  Quarterly  Report  on  Progress  in  Pharmacy,  by  M.  I.  Wil- 
bert, continues  to  be  one  of  the  important  features  of  the  Journal, 
as  it  gives  an  excellent  resume  of  discoveries  of  interest  to  medicine 
and  important  happenings  in  pharmacy.  During  the  past  year  we 
have  published  a  number  of  general  articles  which  have  given  in  a 
nutshell  some  of  the  advances  in  modern  science.  Among  these 
articles  we  mention  Ehrlich's  Chemical  Therapy,  Phylacogens,  Col- 
loids and  Crystals,  Enzymes,  and  Phenomenon  of  Catalysis. 
Curator's  Report,  read  by  J.  W.  England.  The  Museum  of 
the  College  is  growing  yearly  in  importance.  The  entire  collection 
of  drugs  and  drug  products  and  the  Martindale  Herbarium  should 
be  relabelled.  The  containers  for  the  drugs  should  be  standardized 
to  two  sizes  only.  The  Museum  could  be  made  more  valuable  to  the 
pharmaceutical  public  as  a  place  of  reference  for  standard  or  typical 
drugs  and  drug  products,  and  most  interesting  also  to  the  general 
public,  if  the  historical  collections  were  properly  displayed.  The 
Museum  consists  in  large  part  of  typical  specimens  of  rare  drugs. 
It  should  be  improved  by  the  addition  of  typical  specimens  of  the 
more  commonly  used  drugs  as  well,  and  especially  by  a  proper  dis- 
play of  our  historical  matter  and  apparatus. 
The  recommendations  and  suggestions  in  the  Curator's  report 
were,  on  motion,  referred  to  the  Board  of  Trustees.
