Taxis  and  Ayres. 
Dr.  W.  B.  Chapman  was  elected  an  honorary  member. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  a  Charter  was  referred  to  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees ;  also  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  College  Course.  The  latter  docu- 
ment was  subsequently  considered,  somewhat  modified  aud  finally  adopted. 
The  following  Chairs  were  created  and  filled  as  specified :  Pharmacy  and 
Materia  Medica,  E.  S.  Wayne  ;  Chemistry,  J.  F,  Judge  ;  Analytical  and  Or- 
ganic Chenistry,  Adolphus  Fennel;  Botany,  F.  H.  Renz. 
The  first  course  will  be  opened  about  December  4th,  and  close  in  May  next; 
One  lecture  a  week  will  be  delivered  by  each  chair,  except  by  the  professor  of 
analytical  and  organic  chemistry  ;  the  lectures  on  this  branch  are  regarded  as 
supplementary  to,  and  not  necessarily  a  part  of  the  regular  course,  and  may 
be  taken  with  or  without  the  regular  course,  at  such  hours  as  the  Professor  of 
that  Chair  may  designate. 
Among  the  requirements  for  graduation  are  the  following  : 
An  apprenticeship  of  four  years  to  the  drug  and  apothecary  business. 
The  passing  of  a  written  examination  on  questions  pertaining  to  Pharmacy 
and  its  collateral  sciences,  such  questions  being  submitted  by  the  Professors. 
The  percentage  of  correct  answers  to  be  required  to  insure  graduation  being 
sixty  per  cent,  on  each  branch,  or  seventy-five  per  cent,  of  the  whole  number. 
After  passing  a  satisfactory  examination  the  degree  of  graduate  in  Pharmacy 
will  be  conferred.  After  five  years  of  honorable  service  in  the  profession  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  may  be  conferred,  and  after  fifteen  years,  with 
an  untarnished  record  for  private  character  and  professional  capacity,  the  ad- 
vanced degree  of  Doctor  of  Pharmacy  may  be  conferred,  the  two  latter  degrees 
only  being  conferred  by  a  unanimous  vote  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
College. 
The  report  states  that  the  Committee  has  met  with  the  most  encouraging 
words,  and  regards  the  College  already  an  assured  success. 
The  report  concludes  as  follows  :  In  determining  our  choice  of  Professors 
"we  will  say  that  we  unanimously  decided  at  first  to  choose  our  Teachers  of  our 
Science  from  among  the  practical  members  of  our  profession,  feeling  well  as- 
sured that  practical  Pharmacists  only  could  teach  Pharmacy,  and  its  col- 
lateral branches  of  Chemistry,  Materia  Medica  and  Botany,  in  their  closest  re- 
lations to  the  daily  duties  of  buying,  selling,  manufacturing  and  dispensing  of 
medicines.
