REPORT OF SECTION HI. 



The Section held five sessions, at all of which there was a good 

 attendance of Fellows and others interested in the programmes. 



At the afternoon session of May 22, members of the Convention 

 of the Canadian Section of the Society of Chemical Industry (meeting 

 concurrently in Ottawa) were present by special invitation, the larger 

 number of the chemical papers being reserved for presentation on 

 that occasion. 



The attendance of Fellows was exceedingly satisfactory and the 

 interest in the programme of papers and in the business of the Section 

 was keen and well sustained throughout; the meeting of 1918 may be 

 considered as one of the most successful in the history of the Section. 



The following Fellows were present at the sessions: Messrs. 

 Allan, Bain, Burton, Clark, Dawson, Deville, Ellis, Fields, Glashan, 

 Goodwin, Harkness, Johnson, King,* Klotz, McGill, Mcintosh, 

 Mackenzie, Miller, Ruttan, Satterly, Shutt, Stansfield, Stupart. 



The programme proved to be one of exceptional interest. Forty- 

 two papers, dealing with subjects in pure mathematics, physics and 

 chemistry, were read in full or in abstract. They contained many 

 distinct and valuable contributions to science and the discussions that 

 followed their presentation may be regarded as an indication of the 

 close attention with which they were received and of the interest 

 they awakened. A list of the titles is appended. 



The election of Officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows : 



President Dr. Louis Vessot King. 



Vice-President Dr. A. S. Eve. 



Secretary Dr. Frank T. Shutt. 



The following Fellows were appointed the Printing Committee 

 of the Section for 1918-19: 



Dr. Ruttan, Dr. Deville and Dr. King.
