 Moore, Ithaca, N. Y. 



All of whom were duly elected by ballot. 



In the afternoon the members were 

 treated to a carriage ride for a visit to 

 the Syracuse water works and to the 

 New York State Institution for Feeble- 

 minded Children. The former was fully 

 shown and explained by the superintend- 

 ent, Mr. William R. Hill, the latter by 

 Superintendent Dr. James C. Carson. 

 The ride, and especially its purpose, were 

 thoroughly enjoyed by the participants. 



An interesting feature of the meeting, 

 greatly appreciated by the members and 

 visitors, was the exhibit of the latest pro- 

 duction of Microscopes and Accessories, 

 furnished by the Bausch & Lomb Optical 

 Company, the Spencer Lens Company, 



cannot sufficiently appreciate their ser- 

 '^ices. Magnus Pflaum, Acting Secy. 



The officers elected for the ensuing 

 year are all earnest and practical work- 

 ers and should receive the hearty support 

 of all interested, to make the next meet- 

 ing of the society even more interesting 

 and helpful than the last. 



The Spencer-Tolles fund was created 

 for the purpose of enabling the society 

 to offer a medal or other suitable reward 

 each year for meritorious work in the 

 improvement of the microscope or of 

 microscopical technique. The following 

 statement shows the present condition of 

 this fund. Subscriptions to it should be 

 sent to Mr. Magnus Pflaum, treasurer, 

 415 Grant street, Pittsburg, Pa. 



Women's Study, Medical Department, Syracuse I'uiversity. 



and by Richards & Co. Also the exhibit 

 of X-ray apparatus by the Edison Manu- 

 facturing Company received its full share 

 of attention. 



Thus ended successfully a meeting 

 which, by reason of unexpected occur- 

 rences, seemed, until the last moment, 

 most discouraging of results. The presi- 

 dent, Professor D. S. Kellicott, who had 

 suggested and on whose account Syra- 

 cuse was chosen as the meeting place, 

 and who undertook the preparations for 

 the meeting, had died. The secretary. 

 Dr. W. C. Krauss, became sick and, dur- 

 ing a time when his services were most 

 needed to ensure a good meeting, was 

 near death's door. The whole burden ot 

 arranging the meeting was suddenly 

 thrown on the shoulders of Dr. A. C. 

 Mercer in charge of the local commit- 

 tee, and Dr. Veranus A. Moore, who 

 became acting president. The society
