The  Publishing  Committee  reported  as  follows  : 
To  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
The  Publishing  Committee  respectfully  report  that  the  several  recommenda- 
tions of  the  Committee,  which  were  adopted  in  December  last,  have  been  car- 
ried out  as  follows  : 
1.  The  business  pertaining  to  the  Journal  is  all  now  transacted  in  the  College 
building;  the  correspondence  of  the  Journal  is  directed  there,  and,  to  a  con- 
siderable extent,  the  exchanges  are  received  there.  As  soon  as  the  present 
Editor  retires  from  service  (April  1st)  all  the  exchanges  will  be  received  at  the 
College. 
2.  I'he  Journal  has  been  published  monthly,  three  numbers  having  appeared, 
and  the  April  number  is  ready  to  be  closed  with  the  minutes  of  this  meeting. 
3.  A  business  Editor,  Henry  H.  Wolle,  has  been  appointed  to  attend  to  the 
advertising  sheet,  the  distribution  of  the  Journal  by  mail  and  otherwise,  to 
attend  to  the  business  correspondence  relating  to  the  Journal,  to  keep  the  ac- 
counts in  regular  form,  to  make  the  collections  and  to  pay  the  funds  over  to  the 
Treasurer  of  the  Committee,  which  duties  he  has  carried  out. 
4.  The  authority  to  draw  on  the  Treasurer  of  the  College  for  the  prime  cost 
of  Journals  supplied  to  members,  and  as  exchanges,  will  be  carried  into  effect 
when  the  Committee  are  able  to  decide  what  is  the  proper  sum  to  be  charged. 
The  Committee  were  desirous  to  make  a  full  report  on  the  stock  of  the 
Journal,  but  the  necessary  time  required  to  count  all  the  numbers  could  not  be 
devoted  until  the  temperature  of  the  stock  room  was  milder  than  it  has  been 
through  the  winter. 
They  have,  however,  counted  the  volumes,  which  will  give  some  idea  of  the 
amount  of  stock  on  hand  : 
There  are  6  sets  of  30  volumes  eaeh,  not  all  consecutive.
