MINUTES 



OP THE MEETING HELD NOV. I3TH,l8Q5. 



The meeting was preceded by a "Lec- 

 ture" on "PoisonousPlantsof theVieinity 

 of New York City." delivered by our 

 able and beloved Professor cf Botany, 

 Materia Medica and Pharmacognosy, 

 Dr. Henry H. Rusby. 



Whether it was the subject of the lecture 

 or the personality of the Professor that 

 attracted such a large audience, would 

 perhaps be difficult to say, but the audi- 

 ence was certainly one to be proud of, 

 there being also quite a number of ladies 

 present. The lecture in itself was ex- 

 ceedingly interesting and instructive, be- 

 sides the very attractive display of color- 

 ed lantern slides which were shown to 

 good advantage and were beautifully ex- 

 ecuted. 



After the lecture the members of the 

 Association adjourned to the " Alumni 

 Room," where the meeting was called to 

 order by President Stover at 10 p. m.
