PROCEEDINGS FOR 1913 XXI 



tributed to the publications of the Natural History Society of New 

 Brunswick. These have been published chiefly in the Bulletin of that 

 association. The plant collections of this Society have been greatly 

 enriched by his large contributions of prepared specimens, and the 

 orderly arrangement of the Herbarium is due to his labours and super- 

 vision. He has also prepared a list of New Brunswick plants for a 

 work on Botany to be published by the Dominion government. 



Dr. Hay's death will leave void an important post in the Natural 

 History Society of New Brunswick, where he has filled many offices and 

 for years has been a most active and zealous member; for several years 

 he "was President and at the time of his death was one of the Vice-Presi- 

 dents of the Society. In earlier years he was Corresponding Secretary 

 (1884-8) and in later years has taken the burden of arranging the bus- 

 iness for the monthly meetings, giving special attention to the lectures 

 and articles to be read. Thus from the reorganization of the Society 

 in the early eighties until his death, he was untiring in promoting its 

 objects. 



Since his election to a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Canada 

 in 1894 Dr. Hay has given regular attendance at its meetings. In 1900 

 he was chosen Secretary of his Section (IV), and in 1904 was advanced 

 to the presidency of that section. 



Dr. Hay held the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy from the Illi- 

 nois Wesleyan University, and degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of 

 Philosophy (honoris causa) from Acadia University in Nova Scotia, and 

 was a member of several learned societies. He was a member of the 

 New England Botanical Club of Boston, and has twice been president of 

 the Summer School of Science of the Atlantic provinces of Canada. 



Dr. Hay has long been an active member of the board of trustees 

 of the Germain Street Baptist Church in St. John, a member of the Board 

 of School trustees of that city and a commissioner of Rock wood Park. 



Dr. Hay was well worthy of the honours showered upon him and his 

 loss to the community will be all the more felt on that account.
