2. Proceedings of the Association 



Second annual dinner. The second annual dinner of the As- 

 sociation (and the first meeting of the Association for the academic 

 year I9i2-'i3) was held at the Chemists' Club, 52 East 4ist Street, 

 on Wednesday evening, November 6.^ About 125 members and 

 their guests were present, the attendance being so large, in fact, that 

 the main dining room of the Club was filled to capacity and it was 

 necessary to use a room on the floor above for the accommodation 

 of about 20 members. 



The dinner was given in honor of Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the 

 Rockefeiler Institute for Medical Research. AdeHghtfulhalf hour's 

 infomial social gathering preceded the banquet. The president, Dr. 

 Walter H. Eddy, was the toastmaster and appropriately introduced 

 the Speakers of the evening. Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel, of Yale 

 University, spoke briefly on the characteristics of scientific men. 

 Prof. Marston T. Bogert, of Columbia University, President of the 

 Society of Chemical Industry, brought to the Association, and its 

 guest of honor, the greetings of that Society. Profs. C.-E. A. Wins- 

 low, of the College of the City of New York, and Graham Lusk, 

 of the Cornell University Medical College, also spoke informally 

 and in a very entertaining way. The main address was delivered 

 by Dr. Loeb, who gave a very interesting and instructive account of 

 the results of some of his recent work on the permeability of cells. 



Prof. Max Morse, of Trinity College, proposed that Dr. Loeb 

 be elected an honorary member of the Association. The motion was 

 seconded by Dr. E. Newton Harvey, of Princeton University, and 

 unanimously carried by a rising vote. 



The names of those present and the groupings at the tables are 

 indicated on pages 323 and 324.
