PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY, 
Annual  Meeting. 
The  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
was  held  March  31st,  1913,  at  4  p.m.,  in  the  Library.  Twenty-two 
members  were  present.  The  minutes  of  the  quarterly  meeting,  held 
December  30th,  1912,  were  read  and  approved.  The  minutes  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  for  December,  191 2,  January  and  February, 
1913,  were  read  by  the  Registrar,  J.  S.  Beetem,  and  approved. 
The  annual  meeting  is  the  time  when  the  President  and  the 
other  Officers  and  Committees  submit  annual  reports.  Abstracts 
from  these  reports  are  as  follows : 
President's  Report:  The  College  buildings  are  in  good  con- 
dition, various  repairs  having  been  made  during  the  year,  among 
which  may  be  mentioned  that  carbon  lamps  have  been  replaced  by 
Tungsten  lamps.  A  number  of  improvements  were  made  in  the 
Pharmaceutical  Laboratory  giving  increased  facilities  for  class  and 
individual  instruction.  Several  analytical  balances  were  placed  in 
this  laboratory  for  the  estimations  of  alcohol  in  galenical  prepara- 
tions, and  other  operations  requiring  accurate  weighing. 
The  total  number  of  students  in  attendance  at  the  present  time 
is  420,  a  large  number  from  the  different  classes  are  either  taking 
special  courses  or  are  doing  special  work  in  connection  with  their 
theses. 
In  the  analytical  chemistry  course  and  microscopical  course 
a  large  number  of  the  students  are  doing  special  work. 
A  number  of  inquiries  have  been  received  for  the  names  of 
graduates  who  could  be  recommended  to  fill  special  positions  where 
a  thorough  training  in  chemistry  was  a  requisite  requirement.  And 
with  the  continued  enactment  of  laws  for  the  protection  of  our 
citizens  the  demand  for  graduates  in  pharmacy,  who  are  familiar 
with  pure  food  and  drug  requirements,  will  largely  increase.
