254  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  {AmMay?i9oh9arm' 
session.  They  are  doing  excellent  work  and  as  graduates  no  doubt 
will  be  a  credit  to  the  College. 
"  There  is  a  slight  increase  in  the  number  of  members  of  the 
College  over  last  year.  Two  members  have  resigned,  and  one  has 
died. 
"  The  College  has  always  taken  an  active  interest  in  the  revision 
of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia,  and  for  many  years  a  perma- 
nent committee  have  had  charge  of  the  work  in  this  direction.  This 
committee,  composed  of  fifteen  members,  it  is  hoped  will  be  in  posi- 
tion to  render  material  assistance  when  the  convention  assembles  in 
1910  to  revise  the  Pharmacopoeia.  The  reports  previously  sub- 
mitted by  this  committee  have  always  been  appreciated  and  con- 
sidered of  material  importance. 
"  The  Alumni  Association  has,  as  usual,  been  most  active  in 
behalf  of  its  Alma  Mater  and  with  its  strong  and  aggressive  methods 
it  means  continued  success  for  the  College. 
"  In  closing,  the  President  expresses  his  appreciation  of  the 
kindly  co-operation  of  all  his  associates  and  hopes  that  unity  of 
action  and  earnest  effort  on  the  part  of  all  the  membership  and  the 
faculty  will  be  extended  to  him  and  his  fellow  officers  in  promoting 
the  continued  prosperity  of  the  College."
