The Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine has been an 

 important influence in the development o£ biological and medical 

 science, particularly in New York. It has stimulated aspiration, 

 quickened activity, increased productivity, afforded a congenial and 

 ready means of expression, and opened a suitable Channel for com- 

 munication, during a period of awakening in the biological and 

 medical sciences in New York. It continues in this röle as an in- 

 fluential factor in the advancement of science in this country. 



The growth of the society is indicated by the appended tabula- 

 tion of its total membership at the end of each successive academic 

 year since its foundation in 1903 : 



Biological chemists may be interested in the following Statistical 

 summary relating to the Society for Experimental Biology and 

 Medicine : 



Of the seven men at the Conference in Prof. Graham Lusk's

Two of the three authors of the Constitution, and two of the first
