French  said  that  the  Alumni  Association  had  been  foremost  in  all 
the  advances  the  College  had  made,  either  as  the  originator  or  sup- 
porter of  these  advanced  movements.  The  discussion  was  further 
participated  in  by  Messrs.  Beringer,  Kraemer,  Foley,  French,  Miller, 
and  Stroup,  when  Mr.  Beringer  moved  that  a  joint  committee  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  and  the  Alumni  Association  be  appointed  to 
consider  the  matter.  Adopted. 
Professor  Kraemer  presented  a  framed  receipt  for  two  hundred 
dollars,  contributed  by  the  Class  of  1889  for  the  Centenary  Fund  now 
in  process  of  collection.  On  motion,  it  was  voted  to  place  it  in  the 
Library. 
Professor  Kraemer  referred  to  the  work  which  had  been  done 
during  the  past  fifteen  years,  prior  to  the  establishment  of  the  present 
course  in  Bacteriology,  and  requested  that  a  succinct  account  of  the 
work  be  compiled  from  the  reports  of  the  Committees  on  Instruction 
and  Examination. 
Mr.  Beringer,  in  commenting  on  the  paper  just  read,  said  he 
wanted  to  call  particular  attention  to  the  advances  the  College  has 
made  in  its  courses  of  instruction.  There  should  be  still  further 
advances  made.  We  should  have  post-graduate  courses.  No  other 
college  is  giving  the  advanced  courses  that  we  are  giving,  especially 
in  Pharmacognosy.  More  publicity  should  be  given  to  the  instruc- 
tion given  in  the  College.  Our  third-year  class  should  be  augmented 
from  graduates  of  other  institutions  who  are  receiving  less  than  we 
are  giving.
