PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. 
every change in the teacher a new cabinet has to be rebuilt. 
One of the first steps taken by the London Pharmaceutical 
Society, after its organization, was the founding of a 
Museum; and in six years that have elapsed since its com- 
mencement, it has increased to a very respectable size, 
chiefly through the contributions of members. We believe 
if the College would provide a suitable place of deposit, in 
the shape of cases and glass jars or bottles, that the collec- 
tion may be made up in a great measure by voluntary con- 
tributions; and by publishing to the world through the Jour- 
nal the endeavours that are making, the invitation would 
be extended to all who felt an interest in the institution. 
Such a course, steadily pursued, would in a few years 
render the College independent of its lecturers, greatly 
advantage its School of Pharmacy, and eventually produce 
a Museum of which we may well be proud. 
We therefore ask that you pass the following resolution: 
Resolved, That a committee of five members be ap- 
pointed, to take into consideration the best means to be 
adopted to form a Museum of Chemical, Pharmaceutical, 
and Materia Medica Specimens, and report at the next 
meeting. 
Signed Daniel B. Smith, 
Charles Ellis, 
William Procter, Jr. 
Joseph Carson, 
Robert Bridges. 
On motion, the College proceeded to the election of eight 
Trustees. The tellers reported that the following named 
gentlemen had received the requisite number of votes, and 
they were accordingly declared duly elected. 
Thomas P. James, William J. Jenks, 
Jacob L. Smith, Caleb H. Needles, 
James L. Elliott, Benjamin R. Smith, 
Robert Shoemaker, Ambrose Smith. 
Then, on motion adjourned. 
Dillwyn Parrish, Secretary.
