The  minutes  of  January  4,  the  memorial  service  for  Professor 
Joseph  P.  Remington  were  not  read,  as  they  had  been  fully  pub- 
lished in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  Volume  90,  pages 
79-107. 
The  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  December,  1917,  Jan- 
uary and  February,  191 8,  were  read  by  the  Registrar,  J.  S.  Beetem, 
and  approved. 
President  French  then  read  his  Annual  Address.  It  was  quite 
lengthy,  giving  in  detail  the  activities  of  all  the  departments  of  the 
College.  It  was  listened  to  attentively  and  hearty  applause  was 
given  at  its  close.  Air.  England  moved  that  the  address  be  re- 
ferred to  the  Committee  on  Publication  to  abstract  such  portions  for 
publication  in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  that  would  be 
of  the  greatest  interest.    So  ordered.    See  this  Journal,  pages  380- 
386. 
Professor  Lowe  for  the  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings 
reported  verbally  that  there  had  been  no  meetings  held  during  the 
year.  The  meetings  of  the  Philadelphia  branch  of  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  had  largely  taken  over  the  subjects  for- 
merly discussed.  Nevertheless  the  Committee  on  Nominations 
deemed  it  best  to  continue  the  existence  of  the  committee  as  condi- 
tions might  arise  in  the  future  which  would  make  it  desirable  to  hold 
these  meetings  as  formerly,  and  so  had  placed  in  nomination  a  list 
of  names  to  be  acted  on  at  the  annual  election. 
The  Committee  on  Necrology  reported  the  names  of  deceased 
members  during  the  year.  As  obituary  notices  had  been  published 
previously  the  names  are  only  reported  at  this  time  as  a  part  of 
the  proceedings  of  the  annual  meeting. 
Fred  F.  Mueller  died  at  Los  Angeles,  June  29,  1917. 
Doctor  Charles  T.  George  died  at  Harrisburg,  December  26,  1917. 
Joseph  P.  Remington  died  at  Philadelphia,  January  1,  191 8. 
Report  of  the  Curator,  Joseph  W.  England. — The  museum 
is  in  good  condition  and  has  received  a  number  of  valuable  acces- 
sions during  the  year.  A  number  of  specimens  have  been  rearranged 
to  better  advantage.  Professor  Youngken  states  that  he  has  under- 
taken the  better  classification  of  the  college  herbarium  according  to 
the  widely  recognized  system  of  Engler  and  Prantl.  Some  sugges- 
tions are  also  made  to  greatly  facilitate  reference  to  the  collection. 
It  is  also  recommended  that  the  cases  in  the  museum  be  lettered  and 
the  contents  be  card-indexed,  and  an  inventory  be  made  of  all  the 
articles  in  the  museum.
