MINUTE  OF  MEETING  OF  COLLEGE. 
Philadelphia,  March  28,  1892. 
The  annual  meeting  of  the  members  of  the  College  was  held  this  day  at  4 
P.  M.  Charles  Bullock,  President,  in  the  chair.  Seventeen  members  present. 
The  minutes  of  the  last  stated  meeting  were  read,  and  on  motion  adopted.  The 
minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  January,  February  and  March,  were  sub- 
mitted, and  by  resolution  approved. 
As  is  usual  at  this  meeting  the  reports  of  Officers,  and  of  Standing  Commit- 
tees were  called.  The  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Publication  made  brief 
statement  referring  to  the  prompt  issuance  of  the  Am.  Journal  of  Pharmacy, 
during  the  fiscal  year  just  closed.  The  editor  of  the  Journal  submitted  the 
following  : 
"  Respectfully  reporting  that  within  the  past  year  the  Am.  Jour,  of  Pharm. 
has  published  no  original  papers,  exclusive  of  abstracts,  gleanings,  varieties, 
editorials,  reviews  and  other  matters  especially  prepared  for  that  publication. 
This  is  larger  than  any  annual  contribution  since  the  year  1877,  and  it  is  worthy 
of  particular  note  that  one-third  of  this  number  of  papers  treat  of  galenical 
preparations,  dispensing  conveniences,  and  other  practical  subjects.  Increased 
interest  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  38  papers 
were  read  during  the  past  year  exceeding  by  two  the  number  presented  during 
the  year  i887-'88.  Abstracts  from  36  theses  were  published  and  nine  members 
of  the  College  contributed  35  papers.  The  total  number  of  authors  was  72. 
The  sincere  thanks  of  the  editor  are  tendered  to  all  who  have  aided  him  in  his 
labors  by  contributing  their  observations  for  publication  and  he  bespeaks  for  the 
Journal  a  continuance  of  such  friendly  interest  and  co-operation.  It  should  be 
noted  that  a  very  complete  general  index  for  the  ten  volumes  of  the  Journal 
from  1881  to  1890  was  prepared  during  the  past  year,  and  furnished  to  the 
members  of  the  College." 
The  Librarian  reports  that  upwards  of  100  works  on  the  various  subjects 
germain  to  Pharmacy  have  been  received  since  the  last  statement,  40  volumes 
of  which  have  been  received  from  two  members  of  the  College. 
The  Curator  states  in  his  report  that  the  museum  is  overcrowded,  and  the 
space  insufficient  and  suggests  that  the  herbarium  specimens  be  mounted  in 
hinged  frames  after  the  style  of  the  specimens  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution 
at  Washington,  D.  C. 
Upon  motions  duly  seconded  the  above  reports  were  accepted  and  directed 
to  be  transcribed  upon  the  minutes. 
The  following  preamble  and  resolutions  were  presented,  the  resolutions 
being  passed  upon,  adopted  and  approved  seriatim  and  afterwards  adopted  as 
a  whole  : 
Whereas  :  The  Board  of  Trustees  of  this  College  have  in  contemplation  the 
erection  of  a  new  building  on  the  Tenth  Street  front  of  the  College  property. 
Therefore — Resolved :  That  the  College  approve  of  the  erection  of  said 
building  whenever  the  plans  for  the  same  shall  have  been  approved  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees.
