manent  Secretary  was  also  read  and  referred  to  the  Publication  Committee. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  stated  that  the  library  of  the  Association  was  not  a 
valuable  one,  that  a  large  number  of  the  serial  publications  which  it  contained 
were  not  near  enough  complete  to  be  especially  useful,  and  that  a  great  part  of 
the  library,  consisting  of  pamphlets  and  similar  books,  was  really  not  worth 
the  storage  that  the  Association  would  in  time  have  to  spend  on  it.  It  was 
moved  and  carried  that  the  Association  donate  such  books,  pamphlets,  circu- 
lars, etc.,  as  were  deemed  unneeded  by  it  to  the  library  of  Messrs.  Lloyd  Bros., 
of  Cincinnati.  For  this  donation  Prof.  J.  U.  Lloyd  thanked  the  meeting  in  the 
name  of  every  pharmacist  that  is  yet  to  come,  stating  that  the  library  is  to  be 
devised  to  some  educational  institution.  The  Permanent  Secretary  thought 
that  the  number  of  back  volumes  of  Proceedings  that  the  Association  now  had, 
might,  with  propriety,  be  reduced.  Prof.  Hallberg  moved  that  the  price  of  back 
numbers  be  reduced  still  more,  stating  at  the  same  time  that  he  would  like  to 
complete  his  set,  and  that  he  thought  the  members  should  be  permitted  to  do  so 
before  other  disposition  was  made  of  the  volumes.  It  was  evident  from  the 
interest  displayed  that  many  held  Prof.  Hallberg's  views,  and,  like  him,  wished 
to  avail  themselves  of  an  opportunity  to  add  to  their  libraries. 
It  was  suggested  that  a  price  list  be  published  in  the  various  pharmaceutical 
journals  in  order  that  members  and  others  might  be  instructed  in  the  matter. 
The  Publication  Committee  was  ordered  to  look  after  the  affair.  . 
The  Treasurer,  in  his  report,  showed  the  finances  to  be  about  the  same  as  last 
year,  at  which  time  they  were  sound.  The  Finance  Committee  advised  the 
regulation  of  expense  in  a  suggestion  that  papers  should  not  be  printed  until 
passed  on.  Their  reports  and  suggestions  were  turned  over  to  the  Publication 
Committee,  as  was  also  the  report  of  the  Treasurer. 
Secretary  Kennedy  stated  that  the  names  of  109  members  would  be  dropped 
from  the  list  unless  their  fees  were  paid  by  the  time  of  the  next  publication  of 
the  Proceedings.  Seventeen  new  members  were  added  to  the  214  previously 
reported,  thus  making  231  new  members  for  the  Denver  meeting,  and  a  total 
of  1,661.  Mr.  Kennedy  recommended  that  the  names  of  life  and  active  mem- 
bers be  published  in  separate  lists  in  the  Proceedings.  The  report  was  referred 
for  publication.  The  Committee  on  President's  Address  moved  its  adoption, 
and  referred  it  to  the  Publication  Committee.  The  Nominating  Committee 
reported  the  candidates  for  the  respective  offices  during  the  ensuing  year.  The 
Permanent  Secretary  was  requested  to  cast  a  ballot.  The  ballot  was  affirma-
