It was voted(1) that this would be desirable, so far as the moreactive principles (alkaloids, glucosides, etc.,) were con-cerned; (2) that the methods of analysis should be in-serted in the Iliarniacopieia: l3l and should be as uni-. form as possible; (4| that an international committee es-tablish the best methods. This last resolution gave riseto a lively discussion, during which some uncomplimen-tary things were said about the frequently fruitless re-sults of International Committees. PHARMACEUTICAL Van Hulst explained that the Belgian curriculumis limited to Analytical Chemistry, Galenic Pharmacyand Medical Botany. He thought a model programmeshould include elementary bacteriology and general hy-giene and some notions of pharmaceutical law as com-pulsory subjects; that optional subjects be added, andthat Schools of Pharmacy should stand alone, and notbe subject to Medical Faculties. As Mr. Meyer said,this was not really an international question; so I maymerely remark that the Belgians present mostly sharedMr. Van Hulsts views; though Prof. De Koninck de-clared that more surface means less depth, an im-pression shared, I understand, by at least one of theAmerican delegate
