the  work  done  meets  your  eyes  on  every  hand.  Xo  further  refer- 
ence to  this  is  needed  by  me.  Much  time  and  thought  has  been 
and  will  be  given  to  the  remainder  of  the  work  including  the  future 
of  the  College,  the  raising  of  funds,  the  promotion  of  the  interests 
of  Pharmacy  as  a  major  science  and  profession,  the  closer  relation 
of  Pharmacy  and  Medicine  and  you  will  be  kept  informed  as  the 
work  progresses  and  at  the  proper  times  of  contemplated  and  accom- 
plished work.  When  the  extent  of  the  work  is  reviewed  involving  as 
it  does  so  many  difficult  and  delicate  problems  I  confess  to  some  de- 
gree of  apprehension  as  to  my  ability  to  carry  out  the  part  of  the 
programme  you  have  given  me — but  if  we  can  have  happy,  kindly, 
interested  and  hearty  co-operation  by  our  entire  body,  we  may 
achieve  results  far  beyond  our  most  sanguine  hopes  and  the  future 
of  this  splendid  institution  may  ever  transcend,  in  usefulness  and 
splendid  humanitarian  work,  and  the  record  of  the  past  of  which  we 
are  all  so  proud.  I  thank  you  gentlemen  for  your  confidence  in  me 
and  shall  do  the  best  I  can  to  deserve  your  approbation  and  to  carry 
to  a  successful  issue  your  desires  and  hopes  in  the  profession  that 
you  honor." 
Following  prolonged  applause  the  meeting  adjourned.

Carbon  Monoxide  Poisoning  in  Closed  Garages. — In  this 
article  attention  is  called  to  the  fatalities  occurring  as  the  result  of 
inhaling  carbon  monoxide  from  the  exhaust  gas  of  automobile 
engines  running  in  small,  closed  garages.  As  this  is  not  an  infre- 
quent item  of  news  in  the  winter  months,  the  public,  particularly 
automobile  owners  and  garage  workers  are  warned  of  the  danger 
in  running  a. gasoline  engine  in  a  small,  unventilated  space. 
In  connection  with  experiments  having  to  do  with  the  prob- 
lem of  ventilation  involved  in  the  proposed  vehicular  tunnel  under 
the  Pludson  River,  several  interesting  facts  have  been  demon- 
strated.1
