The committee on nominations reported the following can- 

 didates for officers of the Academy for the ensuing year : 



For president, E. Haworth, Lawrence. 



For vice-presidents, F. B. Dains, Topeka, and J. M. Mc- 

 Wharf, Ottawa. 



For treasurer, Alva J. Smith, Emporia. 



For secretary, J. T. Lovewell, Topeka. 



On motion, the rules were suspended by unanimous consent, 

 and the secretary directed to cast the vote of the Academy 

 for the officers named. This was done and they were declared 

 duly elected as officers of the Academy for 1908. 



On invitation of the president of the Normal School, the 

 Academy adjourned to the parlors of the First Christian 

 Church, to partake of a banquet tendered to the Academy by 

 local members and by the Normal faculty. This proved to be 

 a very enjoyable occasion, and after doing full justice to the 

 bountiful and charmingly served repast, the toast-master, T. 

 M. Iden, in a few well-chosen remarks introduced the speakers 

 of the evening. 



The first speaker was Hon. William Allen White, who made 

 a graceful speech, and was followed by Mrs. B. B. Smyth, 

 and Dr. L. E. Sayre, with remarks equally felicitous and 

 witty.
