Curator's  Report:  The  collection  in  the  museum  are  growing, 
especially  the  specimens  of  historical  interest. 
Additional  shelf  room  is  needed  for  their  accommodation  and 
display.  The  museum  needs,  also,  the  systematic  work  of  some  one 
who  is  able  to  give  his  entire  time  to  the  work  and  build  up  the 
collections.  The  museum  contains  a  wide  range  of  rare  and  valu- 
able drugs,  and  it  should  be  kept  up  to  date,  and  open  all  the 
time,  so  as  to  be  available  for  consultation  and  study  every  day. 
Librarian's  Report:  Not  many  books  have  been  added  to  the 
Library  by  purchase  during  the  year.  The  donations  were  116 
volumes.  A  total  of  4863  books  are  now  ready  to  be  catalogued.  A 
number  of  periodicals  and  theses  were  bound.  We  receive  through 
the  government  the  Census  Reports,  Treasury  Reports,  Reports 
of  the  Library  of  Congress,  Smithsonian  Institution,  Public  Health, 
and  Commission  of  Labor  Reports,  Daily  Consular  Trade  Reports,

number  of  American,  English,  and  German  Journals  are  subscribed 
for,  and  a  number  are  received  through  the  exchange  list  of  the 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  the  College  Bulletin.
