Am-May  1921™'  \      Report  of  iooth  Annual  Meeting. 
353 
Prof.  Stroup  moved  that  this  report  be  received  and  that  the 
recommendations  be  adopted.  The  motion  was  seconded  and  car- 
ried. 
'The  retiring  Editor,  Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  reported  that  the 
Journal  had  progressed  in  many  ways.  The  following  is  a  brief 
statement  of  the  progress  of  the  Journal  since  19 17 : 
Increase  in  mailing  list  165  per  cent. 
Increase  in  total  revenue  188    "  " 
Increase  in  publication  expense  112    "  " 
The  report  further  stated  that  Volume  No.  92  of  the  Journal 
had  been  completed  and  that  it  contains  946  pages  of  reading  matter, 
the  index  requiring  sixteen  additional  pages.  The  wide  range  of 
topics  that  have  been  considered  in  the  twelve  monthly  issues  of  the 
Journal  is  well  reflected  in  the  scope  of  the  index.  Sixty-three 
original  papers  prepared  by  forty-six  authors  were  ^published  in  this 
volume,  and  the  support  that  the  Journal  has  received  through  these 
contributions  from  eminent  pharmacists  and  scientists  is  very  grati- 
fying. 
The  conclusion  of  the  report  expresses  Mr.  Beringer's  desire 
to  be  relieved  of  the  editorship  because  of  the  extent  of  his 
burdens  and-  the  demands  of  his  personal  business,  which  has  made 
it  unusually  difficult  for  him  to  dedicate  to  the  Journal  the  time 
required  to  carry  on  the  editorial  work  along  the  lines  designed  to 
hold  up  the  Journal  as  a  potent  factor  in  the  pharmaceutical  field. 
Mr.  Peacock  moved  that  the  Editor's  report  be  received  and 
filed  and  that  certain  recommendations  be  referred  to  the  Commit- 
tee on  Publication  with  power  to  act,  and  that  the  other  recommen- 
dations therein  be  considered  as  new  business. 
Mr.  Fischelis  moved  that  a  special  vote  of  thanks  be  extended 
to  Mr.  Beringer  for  the  great  services  he  has  rendered  the  College 
as  Editor.  Mr.  Cliffe  seconded  this  motion,  and  it  was  further 
decided  that  a  resolution  of  thanks  be  prepared  and  entered  upon 
the  minutes. 
A  favorable  report  of  progress  was  given  by  the  Curator,  Prof. 
Youngken,  noting  particularly  that  a  number  of  medicinal  plants 
already  mounted  had  been  presented  to  the  Museum.  These  had 
been  properly  filed  in  the  Herbarium.  Specific  mention  is  made  of 
interesting  specimens  by  Prof.  La  Wall,  Mr.  Beringer  and  Prof.
