ANNUAL  MEETING. 
The  annual  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  held  on 
March  30,  1903,  at  the  College  Building,  145  North  Tenth  Street. 
Thirty-two  members  were  present,  the  President,  Howard  B.  French, 
presiding.  The  minutes  of  the  quarterly  meeting  held  December  29,  1902, 
were  read  and  approved.  The  minutes  of  the  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
for  January  6  and  February  3,  1903,  were  read  by  the  acting  Registrar,  Chas. 
H.  LaWall,  and  approved. 
The  annual  meeting  being  the  occasion  for  the  reports  of  the  officers  and 
standing  committees,  these  were  given  in  the  following  order  : 
President's  Report. — "  All  necessary  repairs  have  been  made  10  the  property. 
The  debt  of  the  College  has  been  reduced,  as  have  also  the  interest  charges. 
For  the  term  i902-'03,  there  is  an  increase  in  the  number  of  students  over  the 
preceding  year." 
After  referring  to  the  course  in  commercial  training  the  President  said  : 
"  This  course  is  of  inestimable  value  to  the  students  and  should  be  continued, 
and  if  possible,  enlarged. 
"During  the  term  the  College  Class  has  lost  three  students  by  death — two 
second-year  students  and  one  third-year  student. 
"  Eight  members  have  been  added  to  the  membership.  No  resignations 
have  been  offered.    There  have  been  three  deaths. 
"  In  September  last,  the  Semi-Centennial  Anniversary  of  the  founding  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  was  held  in  the  College  Hall  with  most 
interesting  exercises  appropriate  to  the  occasion.  The  suggestion  in  a  pre- 
vious report  in  reference  to  establishing  a  post-graduate  course  is  a  matter  that 
should  be  kept  constantly  in  mind  by  the  Committee  on  Instruction,  that  as 
soon  as  means  will  allow  and  proper  facilities  can  be  obtained  such  a  course 
should  be  established. 
"  During  the  last  year  your  President  had  occasion  to  make  some  investiga- 
tion into  the  early  history  of  the  College  and  its  membership,  and  was  much 
surprised  to  find  that  the  historical  records  were  comparatively  meagre  and 
went  but  little  into  detail.    Your  President  would,  therefore,  suggest  that  a
