members  who  were  previously  subscribers,  and  to  such  other  members  as 
have  applied  for  it ;  a  notice  requesting  all  those  who  were  members  and

"The  gradual  accumulation  of  the  stock  of  back  volumes  having  be- 
come inconvenient  in  the  Library  room,  it  was  suggested  to  throw  a  floor 
across  the  upper  portion  of  the  well  of  the  staircase,  and  gain  access  to 
it  from  the  upper  lecture  room.  The  Board  having  granted  the  right  to 
proceed,  the  Committee  have  had  the  improvement  carried  out,  at  an  ex- 
pense of  about  twenty-five  dollars.  The  space  thus  obtained  is  a  room 
6 1  feet  high,  6^  feet  wide  and  12  feet  long,  amply  sufficient  for  the  pur- 
pose intended,  two  sides  having  been  shelved  to  hold  the  volumes."

The  Sinking  Fund  Committee  made  a  report  showing  that  they  have 
during  the  past  year  extinguished  one  share  of  the  College  Loan,  and 
have  in  hand  $90  75. 
The  Latin  Label  Committee  reported  their  operations  for  the  past 
year,  and  in  view  of  the  small  stock  of  yellow  shop  labels  on  hand,  they 
were  encouraged  to  publish  an  edition  of  yellow  labels  somewhat  improved 
on  the  present,  and  also  a  smaller  set  for  physician's  offices  ;  should  the 
bronzed  labels  be  sold  before  the  next  meeting,  the  Committee  is  author- 
ized to  issue  another  edition  of  these. 
The  Corresponding  Secretary  presented  a  pamphlet  sent  the  College
