Report  of  the  Librarian  was  presented  by  Miss  Katharine 
E.  Nagle.  There  have  been  214  accessions  this  year,  which  brings 
the  number  of  volumes  belonging  to  the  library  up  to  14,675.  There 
are  also  several  thousand  pamphlets  accessible.  The  use  of  the 
library  for  the  year  was  by  students  3,103  times,  professors  163 
times,  public  103  times,  a  total  of  3,369  persons. 
Report  of  the  Committee  on  Nominations  was  read  by  the 
Secretary,  when  the  President  appointed  Mitchell  Bernstein,  E.  H. 
Hessler  and  Charles  F.  Liebert  to  conduct  the  election  for  officers, 
trustees  and  committees. 
In  this  connection  Mr.  Beringer  stated  that  he  had  not  been  con- 
sulted as  to  placing  his  name  on  the  list  of  nominees  for  the  position 
of  editor.  When  he  accepted  the  position  of  acting  editor  when 
Professor  Kraemer  resigned  he  considered  it  only  a  tentative  ar- 
rangement, and  he  desired  it  to  be  known  that  he  wished  the  College 
to  be  free  to  elect  some  one  else  as  editor  at  any  time.  He  realized 
there  was  too  much  demand  on  his  time  and  services,  and  it  was  a 
serious  question  with  him  as  to  what  to  give  up  or  retain  to  preserve 
his  health.  He  would  give  to  the  position  on  the  Journal  the  best 
that  he  could,  but  would  relinquish  it  at  any  time  in  favor  of  any 
one  the  College  would  select. 
Election. — Professor  Stroup  moved  that  in  the  election  for 
trustees  those  receiving  the  highest  votes  should  be  for  the  three 
years  term,  the  next  highest  vote  for  the  two  years  term,  and  the 
next  highest  vote  for  the  six  months  term.    Agreed  to. 
Report  of  the  Committee  on  Membership. — While  the  tellers 
were  counting  the  ballots  this  was  read  by  Professor  Stroup. 
When,  after  the  death  of  Professor  Remington,  it  was  decided 
to  make  the  February  number  of  the  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy a  "Remington  Memorial  Number"  it  occurred  to  Professor 
E.  F.  Cook  that  it  would  be  a  good  idea  to  send  a  copy  to  each 
alumnus  of  the  College,  and,  at  the  same  time,  make  an  appeal  for 
him  or  her  to  become  a  member  of  the  College.  The  idea  met  with 
the  approval  of  the  President  of  the  College  and  other  members 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  we  were  authorized  to  go  ahead.  Ac- 
cordingly there  were  mailed  a  few  weeks  ago  to  the  alumni  not 
already  enrolled  as  members  of  the  College  a  copy  of  the  Journal 
and  literature  bearing  on  securing  prospective  students'  names,  the 
code  of  ethics  of  the  College  and  a  personal  appeal  to  join  the  College.
