 The society enjoyed several fine musical numbers furnished by friends of the 

 Colorado Microscopical Society, and at the close of the program a very pleasant 

 informal reception with refreshments was tendered by the latter organization. 



On Friday the general sessions of the society were occupied by the reading 

 of papers, a noteworthy feature of which was an address by Ex-President Dr. W. 

 C. Krauss of BufTalo, on " The Debt of American Microscopy to Spencer and 

 ToUes." The committee appointed at the New York meeting announced the 

 completion of the Spencer-Tolles Fund to the limit of $1200, as set a year ago, 

 and other members spoke in a congratulatory tone on the completion of the 

 fund. The report of the committee which provided that a specific sum should 

 be set aside yearly from the interest of this fund for the encouragement of 

 microscopical research was adopted, and the conditions of the grant ordered 

 printed in the annual volume. 



Resolutions of regret at the death of Ex-President E. W. Claypole were read 

 and ordered spread upon the minutes of the society. 



The following officers were elected for the year 1901-2 : 



President, Charles E. Bessey, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr. 



First Vice-President, E. A. Birge, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. 



Second Vice-President, John Aspinwall, New York City. 



Elective members of the Executive Committee : Dr. A. M. Holmes, Denver, 

 Colorado ; Dr. V. A. Latham, Chicago, III; Mr. G. C. Whipple, New York City. 



Secretary, Henry B. Ward, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebr. 



Treasurer, J. C. Smith, New Orleans, Louisiana. 



Custodian, Magnus Pfiaum, Pittsburg, Pa. 



The session of Saturday morning was held while en route to Colorado 

 Springs on an excursion tendered the society, in the course of which a banquet 

 at the Antlers Hotel, a visit to Colorado College, a carriage ride through the 

 Garden of the Gods, and Manitou were enjoyed. The society is indebted to the 

 Commercial Clubs of Denver and Colorado Springs and to the Colorado 

 Microscopical Society for the many hospitalities extended to it. 



The next meeting will probably be held in Pittsburg. We would urge the 

 desirability of every one interested in microscopical work becoming a member 

 of this society.
