Impressed  with  these  views,  yonr  committee  would  respectfully  suggest  that 
the  Board  of  Trustees  should  call  the  attention  of  the  members  of  the  College 
to  this  important  subject,  and  exhort  them  to  a  more  systematic  training  of 
their  apprentices,  and  by  personal  attention  and  stated  examinations,  endeavor 
to  elevate  the  standard  of  information. 
We  all  agree  with  Prof.  Procter,  "  that  no  amount  of  tuition  hy  lectures  will 
be  equivalent  to  that  which  the  earnest  student  receives  in  the  dispensing  shop 
and  practical  laboratory,  under  the  -personal  instruction  of  a  well  qualified 
pharmaceutist,  who  takes  an  interest  in  his  pupil." 
The  School  of  Pharmacy  of  this  College,  reorganized  in  October  last,  has 
had  a  successful  course  under  the  new  faculty.  Profs.  Blaney,  Bartlett  and 
Hambright.  The  class  numbered  thirty,  of  whom  one  was  a  lady.  One  of  the 
class,  F.  M.  Goodman,  having  attended  a  previous  course,  in  Philadelphia, 
passed  his  examination  and  was  duly  graduated  ;  he  was  a  pupil  of  Mr.  J.  W. 
Mill.    The  prospects  for  the  coming  year  are  brightening. 
The  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  held  its  annual  meeting  at  the  rooms  of 
the  association.  No.  77  Dearborn  street,  yesterday  afternoon.  The  President, 
E.  H.  Sargent,  occupied  the  chair. 
Mr.  Thomas  Whitfield  read  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Cabinet  Speci- 
mens and  Apparatus.  It  showed  that  though  the  number  and  character  were 
very  creditable,  they  could  be  improved  upon.    The  report  was  placed  on  file. 
The  Committee  on  Examination  reported  that  F.  M.  Goodman  had  been 
examined  and  accepted  as  a  member. 
Longer  time  was  granted  to  the  Committee  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy. 
The  death  of  Arthur  Rappelje,  in  Canada,  was  reported  by  the  Committee 
on  Deceased  Members. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Lectures  congratulated  the  society  on  the 
successes  of  the  past  year,  and  referred  to  the  lack  of  apparatus  and  specimens 
with  which  to  illustrate  them.  The  report  recommended  the  purchase  of  large 
maps  of  Europe,  Asia  and  Africa,  and  also  of  works  containing  the  history  of 
drugs.    Report  received  and  placed  on  file. 
The  Secretary,  Mr.  Hambright,  reported  that  a  large  number  of  members 
still  claimed  membership  without  paying  their  dues  or  otherwise  conforming  to 
the  rules.  Of  the  annual  dues  for  1870 — 71,  some  $455  had  been  collected,  $50 
on  certificates  and  $54  on  naturalization  tickets.  Of  moneys  still  due,  some 
$263  was  yet  to  be  collected.    Of  members  admitted  since  March,  1870,  there
