G. LANE TANEYHILL, M.D., Recording Secretary. REPORTS. REPORT OF CORRESPONDING SECRETARY. BALTIMORE, May 12th, 1885. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty: The Corresponding Secretary has to report simply that he has conducted such correspondence, announced such meetings and performed such other duties as pertained to his office, to the best of his knowl. edge and ability. Very respectfully submitted by T. BARTON BRUNE, Corresponding Secretary. REPORT OF THE TREASURER. The Treasurer has the honor to submit his report for fiscal year ending April 28th, 1885. Our financial condition at the close of the year, April 28th, 1885, will be seen to be more satisfactory than at the close of fiscal year ending April 21st, 1884; for then we had liabilities outstanding to the amount of $247.55. This year we have paid the liabilities reported last year, and have met all our expenses save $99.55 out of our income. The sale of medical annals has yielded a very meagre sum-last year we reported $58.00, as from this source; this year we report $16.75; making in all $74.75 for the two years-the original cost to us of this production was $417.55; leaving a snug balance which, happily, we have been able to wipe out by a rigid economy in the expenditure of our income. In this connection, the Library Board must certainly receive the thanks of the Faculty, for having on so small an allowance, accomplished so good results-they received during the year, including the amount of sales and fines at the library, only $464.06. An amount less than they were entitled to by the constitution of our Faculty-of their economy their report will justly speak. |
