at  the  December  meeting  were  again  considered  and  freely  dis- 
cussed by  Messrs.  Beringer,  French,  Remington,  Mattison  and 
England.  A  sub-committee  of  three  was  appointed  to  consider  some 
features  of  the  subject  that  had  not  been  decided  and  to  make 
report  at  a  subsequent  meeting.  Professor  Sadtler  on  behalf  of  the 
Joint  Committee  to  whom  had  been  referred  the  subject  of  adver- 
tising the  College,  proposed  a  plan  for  consideration.  This  was 
discussed  by  Messrs.  Mattison,  Lee,  Leedom,  Beringer  and  Eng- 
land and  on  motion  adopted.  Professor  Remington  referred  to 
the  death  of  William  Mclntyre,  and  moved  that  a  Committee  of 
Three  be  appointed  to  take  proper  action.  This  was  agreed  to, 
and  the  Chair  appointed  Messrs.  Boring,  Cliffe  and  Remington. 
Propositions  for  membership  were  received  from  two>  persons,  which 
on  motion,  were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Membership. 
February  24th,  191 3.  Sixteen  members  were  present.  The 
Special  Committee  to  whom  was  referred  the  names  of  five  gentle- 
men recommended  for  the  Honorary  degree  of  Master  in  Pharmacy, 
reported  in  favor  of  their  election.  A  ballot  was  taken  and  they 
were  unanimously  elected.  '  Committee  on  Scholarship  had  no 
special  report,  but  a  letter  was  read  from  Doctor  R.  V.  Mattison 
relative  to  the  action  of  the  Board  in  making  the  Keasby  and 
Mattison  Scholarship  perpetual.  The  Special  Committee  of  Three 
on  educational  matters  presented,  for  consideration  and  discussion, 
additional  subjects  that  would  probably  require  legislative  action 
during  the  present  session.  As  a  matter  of  interest  the  Dean  an- 
nounced that  Doctor  John  Uri  Lloyd  would  be  in  the  city  the  day 
following,  and  asked  that  as  many  members  as  possible  meet  him 
at  the  Drug  Club.  Mr.  French  read  a  communication  from  Dr. 
W.  P.  Wilson  inviting  members  of  the  College  or  any  of  the  Classes 
to  visit  the  Commercial  Museum.  The  communication  was  referred 
to  the  Dean  to  bring  to  the  attention  of  the  students,  and  if  pos- 
sible arrange  for  a  visit. 
PHARMACOGNOSY  OF  CUBEB. 
In  the  abstract  published  last  month  (pp.  193,  194)  concerning 
"  The  Oil  from  Spurious  Cubebs  "  a  very  interesting  portion  was 
omitted  through  lack  of  space.  Mr.  J.  C.  Umney  was  curious  to 
see  why  the  Amsterdam  oil  had  such  an  extraordinarily  low  optical 
rotation  and  after  having  procured  some  of  the  Amsterdam  cubebs
