first  year  of  its  existence,  he  gives  a  history  of  the  organization  and  the  pro- 
gress made  up  to  this  time.  The  College  has  a  fall  supply  of  apparatus  for 
illustrating  the  lectures  on  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  and  splendid  speci- 
mens of  materia  medica.  lie  recommends  the  change  of  the  annual  meeting 
in  order  to  facilitate  the  course  of  lectures  given  annually  by  the  College,  and 
the  raising  of  an  additional  sum  of  money  to  liquidate  some  debts.  The  amount 
subscribed  for  inaugurating  the  College  was  $1 ,565,  of  which  there  was  col- 
lected $262*50  ;  amount  received  from  students,  $240 ;  new  members,  $24 ; 
total  amount  disbursed,  S1,5L7.  The  estimated  expense  of  the  College  for  the 
•coming  year  is  $1,000.  There  are  fifty-one  members  of  the  College.  He  states 
that  the  lectures  are  the  legitimate  object  of  the  Association,  and  urges  in- 
creased interest  in  procuring  attendance.  He  alluded  to  the  bill  introduced 
in  the  last  Legislative  Assembly  regulating  the  practice  of  pharmacy,  which 
had  not  passed  for  want  of  time,  but  expressed  the  hope  that  it  would  be  passed 
at  the  next  session. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  :  President,  W.  S.  Thompson  ;  First 
Vice-President,  F.  S.  Gaither;  Second  Vice-President,  John  R.  Major;  Re- 
cording Secretary,  John  C.  Fill  ;  Corresponding  Secretary,  R.  B.  Ferguson  ; 
Treasurer.  J.  P.  Milburn;  Curator,  Z.  W.  Cromwell  ;  for  additional  trustees, 
J.  D.  O'Donnell,  W.  B.  Entwisle,  W.  G.  Duckett,  George  M.  Howard  and 
Rudolph  Oldberg. 
The  code  of  ethics  was  amended,  and  the  following  delegates  were  appointed 
to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  to  be  held 
at  Richmond  :  Prof.  Oscar  Oldberg,  J.  R.  Major,  F.  S.  Gaither,  W.  B.  Ent- 
wisle and  W.  S.  Thompson. 
On  motion,  the  President  of  the  College  was  authorized  to  act  as  President 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  ex  officio. 
The  Secretary  was  directed  to  send  copies  of  the  report  of  the  President  to 
the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  Druggist's  Circular  for  publication. 
The  meeting  then  adjourned. 
The  Washington  Pharmaceutical  Association,  we  have  been  informed,  is 
the  title  of  an  organization,  principally  composed  of  pharmaceutical  assistants. 
Its  object  is  the  mutual  improvement  of  its  members  and  the  interchange  of 
knowledge  pertaining  to  pharmacy.  The  Association  will  probably  be  repre- 
sented at  the  Richmond  meeting. 
St.  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy. — We  observe  from  the  annual  announce- 
ment that  the  qualifications  for  graduation  are  now  the  same  as  at  the  other 
Colleges.  The  faculty,  in  consequence  of  some  resignations,  has  been  consti- 
tuted as  follows  :  Theodore  Fay,  M.  D.,  Professor  of  Chemistry  ;  Otto  A. 
Wall,  M.  D.,  Professor  of  Materia  Medica,  and  Hubert  Primm,  Professor  of 
Pharmacy. 
California  College  of  Pharmacy. — The  inauguration  exercises  of  the  Cali- 
fornia College  of  Pharmacy  took  place  on  the  evening  of  July  8th,  1873.  The 
attendance  was  large — a  gratifying  proof  that  the  friends  of  pharmaceutical 
progress  are  not  few  in  this  locality.
