THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE 



THE CLEVELAND MEETING OF 



THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION 



FOB THE ADVANCEMENT 



OF SCIENCE 



The sixty-fourth meeting of the 

 American Association for the Advance- 

 ment of Science, and the eleventh of 

 the "convocation week" meetings, will 

 be held in Cleveland from December 30 

 to January 4. Between twenty -five and 

 thirty national scientific societies meet 

 during the same week in affiliation with 

 the association. These include the 

 American Society of Naturalists and 

 the societies devoted to anatomy, an- 

 thropology, astronomy, biological chem- 



istry, botany, entomology, horticulture, 

 mathematics, physics, physiology, psy- 

 chology and zoology. There will conse- 

 quently be a large gathering of scien- 

 tific men at Cleveland and the tradition 

 of convocation week will be worthily 

 maintained. 



The geologists meet at New Haven 

 and the bacteriologists in New York, 

 and the chemists have decided to meet 

 hereafter in the spring and autumn 

 instead of in the summer and winter. 

 This change has been made by the 

 chemists owing to the fact that those 

 engaged in industrial work find the end 

 of the year an inconvenient period and 



interiok of the aliasa stone memorial c'hapel of 

 Western Reserve University.
