ABSTRACT  FROM  MINUTES  OF  MEETING  OF  MEM- 
BERS OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
March  25,  1895. 
The  annual  meeting  of  members  was  held  to-day,  the  unusual  number  of  38 
being  present.  Charles  Bullock  presided.  Reports  of  permanent  committees 
and  of  officers  of  the  College  were  received  at  this  meeting.  Report  of  editor 
was  made  as  follows  : 
During  the  year  there  have  been  published  79  original  papers  by  40  authors- 
This  number  of  original  contributions  has  been  exceeded  but  few  times  in  the 
history  of  the  Journal.  Of  the  authors,  11  were  active  members  of  the  Col- 
lege, and  one,  Mr.  Hooper,  an  honorary  member  residing  in  India,  who  con- 
tributed two  papers.  Eleven  of  the  twelve  numbers  issued  were  illustrated. 
The  contributions  by  Professor  E.  S.  Bastin  merit  special  mention,  he  having 
furnished  9  papers  during  the  year,  all  of  which  were  illustrated  but  one. 
Sixty-five  reviews  and  a  number  of  editorials  made  up  the  balance  of  the 
literary  matter. 
Although  the  number  of  pages  in  several  issues  were  increased,  it  was  not 
found  possible  to  publish  as  many  abstracts  as  desirable. 
There  was  a  creditable  disposition  shown  on  the  part  of  writers  throughout 
the  country  to  furnish  original  matter  to  the  Journal,  and  had  it  not  been  for 
this  fact,  there  would  have  been  a  marked  decrease  in  the  number  of  original 
papers,  for  the  number  of  contributors  among  the  College  membership  showed 
a  decided  falling  off. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  those  who  are  associated  with  the  College  will  not  for- 
get that  much  of  the  advancement  of  the  institution  in  its  early  history  was 
due  to  the  scientific  character  of  its  members,  who  were  willing  to  put  on 
record  their  observations  for  the  benefit  of  their  pharmaceutical  brethren. 
The  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  are  a  source  of  support  to  the  Journal,  and  it 
is  to  be  regretted  that  they  have  been  so  poorly  attended  by  members  of  the  Col- 
lege. It  has  been  shown  during  the  present  series  that  valuable  papers  can  be 
provided  for  each  meeting,  but  the  authors  are  discouraged  by  the  poor  attend- 
ance, and  consequently  the  absence  of  discussion,  which  materially  adds  to  the 
value  of  the  contributions. 
Mr.  Robert  England  moved  that  the  price  of  the  American  Journal  of 
Pharmacy  be  reduced  to  subscribers  to  $2.50  per  annum.  Motion  amended 
by  Mr.  Beringer  that  the  subject  be  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Publication. 
Amendment  carried.  The  treasurer  of  Publication  Committee  appended  supple- 
mentary statements  to  the  general  report  of  the  editor  as  usual.  The  librarian 
and  curator  also  made  their  annual  statements,  the  latter  asking  for  an  appro- 
priation of  $133  to  perfect  some  improvements  in  the  museum  appliances. 
Referred  to  Board  of  Trustees  with  approval.  Prof.  Remington  presented 
communication  having  reference  to  a  representation  by  this  College  at  the 
sessions  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  to  be  held  in  Denver,  to 
consider  the  subject  of  "  a  uniform  college  requirement  for  graduation."  The 
chairman  appointed  Prof.  Remington  to  represent  this  College . 
The  president  appointed  Messrs.  Mclntjre,  Cliffe  and  Prof.  Trimble  as  dele- 
gates to  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  which  convenes  at 
Eagle's  Mere,  Pennsylvania,  in  June.    Mr.  Boring  called  the  attention  of  the
