250  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.     { Am -ji^g?™1 
Prot.  Henry  Kraemer,  Editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy, reported  as  follows  : — 
There  are  two  features  which  have  especially  characterized  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  during  the  past  year.  These  are  the  large  amount  of 
illustrative  material  and  the  number  of  biographical  sketches.  Special  men- 
tion is  made  of  the  series  of  articles  begun  in  the  October  number  on  ' '  London 
Botanic  Gardens,"  by  P.  E.  F.  Perredes.  This  series  of  articles  is  a  contribu- 
tion from  the  Wellcome  Research  Laboratories  established  by  Henry  S.  Well- 
come, a  graduate  of  this  College.  In  addition  to  these  papers  by  Mr  Perredes 
we  have  published  quite  a  number  of  very  valuable  papers  of  practical,  edu- 
cational, and  scientific  interest,  including  a  series  of  papers  on  the  New  Phar- 
macopoeia. The  quarterly  review  on  recent  advances  in  pharmacy  and  allied 
subjects,  by  Mr.  M.  I.  Wilbert,  continues  to  be  of  very  great  interest  and 
importance. 
Mr.  William  Mclntyre  reported  for  the  Committee  on  Pharma- 
ceutical Meetings  as  follows  : — 
The  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  have  been  held  regularly  during  the  year. 
Among  those  who  have  contributed  or  read  papers  were  Joseph  L.  Lemberger, 
M.  I.  Wilbert,  J.  B.  Moore,  Thomas  S.Wiegand,  Henry  Kraemer,  Allen  Shryock, 
Charles  H.  LaWall,  Clayton  M.  Thrush,  C.  P.  Gabell,  Henry  Leffmann, 
Edwin  Leigh  Newcomb,  E.  F.  Cook,  Virgil  Coblentz,  H.  W.  Wiley,  and 
H.  C.  Wood,  Jr.  The  collections  of  the  College  have  been  added  to  as  a 
result  of  the  meetings. 
Joseph  W.  England,  Curator  of  the  Museum,  reported  as  fol- 
lows : — 
The  Museum  is  in  good  condition  and  has  received  a  number  of  accessions 
during  the  past  year.  The  collections  of  official  preparations  in  the  Reading 
Room  for  reference  by  students  have  been  entirely  changed  since  September  i, 
1905,  and  replaced  by  preparations  of  the  present  United  States  Pharmacopoeia. 
Your  Curator  wishes  to  present  to  the  College  on  behalf  of  the  Smith,  Kline  & 
French  Company  one  of  the  older  types  of  tablet  machines.  This  machine  was 
made  in  1892  by  Rhoades  &  Sears  of  Philadelphia,  and  was  used  as  the  model 
upon  which  the  patent  was  granted.  The  College  has  received,  in  the  past, 
other  apparatus  of  historical  value,  and  your  Curator  has  a  promise  of  more. 
These  are  now  kept  in  the  fire -proof  vaults  of  the  College,  but,  in  time,  steps 
will  have  to  be  taken  for  their  special  care  in  the  Museum  or  elsewhere.
