Am*M°ayr;i905?r"m}       Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  245 
The  College  has  lost  by  death  during  the  year  five  honorary 
members  and  three  active  members.  During  the  year  eight  active 
members  and  five  associate  members  were  elected.  There  have 
been  two  resignations. 
During  the  year  the  "  Troth  "  scholarship  was  established  by 
Mrs.  John  R.  Drexel  in  honor  of  her  father,  William  P.  Troth,  and 
her  grandfather,  Henry  Troth.  The  latter  was  an  early  member  of 
the  College,  and  served  as  vice-president  from  1829  to  1841. 
In  educational  matters  the  College  has  maintained  its  former  high 
rank  among  pharmaceutical  colleges,  and  the  hope  is  expressed  that 
the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  research  laboratories  may  be  estab- 
lished in  connection  with  the  College. 
The  activity  and  able  management  of  the  Alumni  Association  is 
commended. 
Reports  of  committees  were  then  given  as  follows : 
Publication  Committee — Samuel  P.  Sadtler,  chairman,  reported : 
There  has  been  an  increase  in  the  amount  received  from  subscrip- 
tions, the  sale  of  back  numbers  and  reprints.  On  two  occasions 
larger  editions  of  the  Journal  were  printed.  The  number  of  unsold 
volumes  on  hand  is  estimated  at  1,975,  covering  the  period  from 
1829  up  to  the  present  time.  There  is  a  constant  demand  for  back 
numbers,  and  as  we  have  not  a  complete  set  of  the  Journal  for  sale 
at  the  present  time,  we  would  particularly  request  the  members  to 
let  the  committee  know  when  any  volumes  for  1829,  1830,  1 83 1 , 
l833>  1834,  l835»  1842,  1846,  1847,  1856,  1865,  1876,  and  the  four 
preliminary  numbers  published  previous  to  1829,  can  be  obtained. 
During  the  year  back  numbers  have  been  presented  by  H.  N. 
Rittenhouse,  James  T.  Shinn,  George  J.  Scattergood  and  Mr.  Zeller. 
Editor's  Report. — Prof.  Henry  Kraemer  said  that  during  the 
past  year  there  has  been  no  lack  of  original  matter  for  publication ; 
about  seventy  original  papers  were  printed,  being  an  average  of 
about  five  or  six  papers  an  issue.  They  have  nearly  all  been  of  a 
high  order  of  merit,  and  have  covered  a  wide  range  of  subjects. 
Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings. — Joseph  P.  Reming- 
ton read  the  report  of  the  committee.  "  The  meetings  have  been 
held  regularly  during  the  year.  In  compliance  with  the  wishes  of 
some  of  the  members,  three  of  the  meetings  have  been  held  in  the 
evening,  and,  judging  from  the  attendance,  it  would  seem  desirable 
to  hold  some  of  the  meetings  in  the  future  in  the  evening.  The
