The  Quarterly  Review  of  the  advances  in  pharmacy  and  allied 
branches  by  M.  I.  Wilbert  constitutes  a  valuable  feature  of  the 
Journal,  giving  among  other  things  an  abstract  of  the  work  abroad, 
besides  the  meetings  of  the  College  and  Board  of  Trustees  and  the 
pharmaceutical  meetings,  have  been  regularly  recorded. 
Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings. — This  report  was 
read  by  William  Mclntyre,  in  which  it  was  stated  that  eight  meet- 
ings were  held  during  the  year  and  that  a  large  number  of  papers 
were  contributed  by  members  as  well  as  some  non-members.  The 
meetings  have  been  well  attended  and  the  interest  well  maintained 
by  discussions  on  the  various  papers  presented.  A  variety  of 
subjects  were  considered,  ranging  all  the  way  from  the  work  of  the 
Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the  American  Medical 
Association  to  ampuls  and  the  cultivation  of  medicinal  plants.  The 
October  meeting  was  especially  interesting  because  of  the  fine  dis- 
play of  objects  of  historical  interest  belonging  to  the  College.  Legis- 
lative matters  were  largely  discussed  at  the  November  and  December 
meetings.  The  minutes  of  the  meetings  have  been  regularly  pub- 
lished in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  reports  of 
them  have  been  given  in  the  leading  pharmaceutical  periodicals. 
Curator's  Report. — Joseph  W.  England  stated  that  the  Museum 
was  in  excellent  condition  and  has  received  a  number  of  accessions 
during  the  year.  Additional  case  room  in  the  gallery  of  the  Museum 
is  needed  for  the  display  of  the  historical  collection,  and  also  for  the 
general  collections  of  the  Museum.  The  various  collections  of  the 
College  were  utilized  for  exhibition  purposes  at  the  City  Hall  during 
Founders'  Week  in  October  last  and  excited  very  general  interest. 
Librarian's  Report. — Thomas  S.  Wiegand  stated  that  two 
hundred  bound  volumes  were  added  during  the  year,  and  a  large 
number  of  pamphlets.  The  cases  in  the  library,  have  been  numbered 
and  the  contents  of  each  case  noted.  The  library  has  been  much 
more  used  the  past  year  than  formerly,  both  by  students  and  mem- 
bers as  well  as  those  not  associated  with  us.  This  is  probably  due  to 
the  fact  that  the  index  to  the  various  libraries  in  the  city  has  been 
circulated,  enabling  those  who  wish  to  refer  to  different  periodicals 
to  know  where  to  find  them. 
The  Committee  on  Nominations  presented  their  report  con- 
taining the  names  of  the  various  nominees  for  offices,  trustees,  and 
committees. 
The  Committee  on  Legislation.- — M.  N.  Kline  reported  that
