lxx PROCEEDINGS OF THE CENTENARY MEETING. 



College of Physicians of Philadelphia. 



The College of Physicians of Philadelphia brings greetings to The Academy of 

 Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and presents its congratulations on this the 

 Centenary of its Foundation. 



The College is proud of the brilliant record of the Academy in these hundred 

 years, rejoicing that among its members are a number, and some of its most 

 distinguished, who were also Fellows of the College. 



Both claim the immortal Leidy, though the College grants that the Academy 

 was the object of his fondest love and reflected his greater glory. 



The College hopes that this century of growth which finds the Academy so 



strong and vigorous may be succeeded by many others full of honor for itself 



and rich in benefits to all mankind.
