ABSTRACT  OF  ADDRESS  OF  THE  PRESIDENT. 
Following  the  practice  which  was  established  some  years  ago, 
your  President  will  submit  a  brief  summary  of  matters  of  general 
interest  that  have  occurred  in  your  institution  during  the  past  year. 
Your  property  is  in  fairly  good  condition,  and  it  has  not  been 
necessary,  during  the  past  year,  to  make  any  extensive  improve- 
ments. The  minor  repairs  have  been  sufficient  to  keep  your  build- 
ings in  proper  condition  and  up  to  their  usual  standard. 
Your  President  regrets  that  he  cannot  report  an  increased  number 
of  students  over  the  previous  year,  the  total  number  in  attendance 
being  431,  against  434  during  the  previous  year.  Special  chemistry 
students  number  37.  Food  and  drug  course  has  4  students.  Special 
course  in  bacteriology  comprises  22  students ;  of  this  number  16  are 
regular  pharmacy  students,  4  are  graduates,  and  2  new  matriculants. 
Five  students  attend  the  special  course  in  microscopy,  and  all  are 
special  chemistry  students.
