Report of the Putnam Chapters 



On February loth the Senior Putnam 

 Chapter held its first regular meeting 

 at the President's house. After the 

 Treasurers' report one of the Members 

 showed us some interesting stones 

 which she had, and we talked about silk 

 and its manufacture. 



we watched the large logs slowly burn 

 Dr. Bigelow told us most interesting 

 stories about the founding of The 

 Agassiz Association and the meaning 

 of the colors and names. 



Our Chapters had been very enthus- 

 iastic about this new interest but we 

 returned from our visits to ArcAdiA 

 still more eager to go to work and do 

 something. The beautiful influence of 



THE SENIOR PUTNAM CHAPTER OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION, 

 GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT. 



At one meeting we practiced songs 

 "which we later sang at /VrcAdiA. 



On March 17th we held an Agassiz 

 morning in our school, The Greenwich 

 Academy, and in assembly nearly every 

 Member told of some interesting thing 

 about nature which she had either dis- 

 covered or read. 



The two Chapters have been to visit 

 ArcAdiA twice, and both times had a 

 splendid visit. On the first trip we all 

 sat around the huge fireplace in the 

 AVelcome Reception Room and while 



this splendid Association is already 

 bearing fruit for every day this spring 

 some girl has come running into the 

 room eager to tell something which 

 she has discovered in connection with 

 the awakening of spring and the ap- 

 proach of summer. Many of the Mem- 

 bers have notebooks in which they are 

 keeping record of the birds, trees or 

 flowers which they have seen. 



Gradually the thought that Louis 

 Agassiz wished to leave with us is 

 being planted in our minds and hearts.
