Members 



of the 



Society of American Bacteriologists 



There is no reason why 100 per cent of our members should not 

 obtain at least one new member for the Society. Failure to do this, 

 it is felt, will not be due, to lack of interest but to a failure to realize 

 how many people of diversified interests will appreciate the journals 

 and service of the Society. 



In this connection a suggestion may be permitted. Abstracts 

 OF Bacteriology furnishes a strong appeal, not only to professional 

 bacteriologists, but to those working in allied fields. 



Those engaged in medicine and veterinary science in all their 

 phases, in public health and its many branches, in plant pathology 

 and mycology, in agricultural and industrial enterprises will be 

 vitally interested in the subject matter covered in our abstract 

 journal. 



In order to obtain a new member something more than a mere 

 invitation to join is necessary in most cases. The prospective mem- 

 ber should be shown that value is to be received for his dues. 



Why not think over your acquaintances and decide just how the 

 Journals will be of benefit to them? If they are close at hand talk 

 the matter over but don't confine your efforts to your local friends. 

 Your activity is not limited and many can be reached by letters which 

 point out how our journals bring information of vital importance to 

 them. This plan has been followed in a number of cases with good 

 results. 



In order to derive the benefits of a successful campaign won't you 

 help to make the members 100 per cent active by placing your name 

 on the ''Rolls?" 



You will be interested in knowing that the offers of back volumes 

 of the Journals has been extended, through the courtesy of the 

 pubUshers, until November 15, 1921. Please keep this date in mind. 



S. H. Ayers, 

 Chairman, Membership Campaign Comtnitleefor 1921.
