Report of the Secretary for the Year 19 17 



Owing to the limited activities of the Society the past year, there is 

 very Httle to report. The present Secretary was appointed in Septem- 

 ber to fill the unexpired term of former Secretary R. Y. Stuart, who 

 had been called by the War Department for active field duty with the 

 Engineers. Since that time the principal work, aside from routine and 

 the annual election, has been preparation for the annual meeting at 

 Pittsburgh in conjunction with the American Association for the Ad- 

 vancement of Science, December 31, 1917, and January i, 1918.

In June the final draft of the Constitution was prepared in accord- 

 ance with the ballot on the various propositions for amendment placed 

 before the membership last year. The revision was published in the 

 December issue of the Journal, together with a list of the members.
