On Aug. 28th, a second meeting was held at which the constitution 
was formally signed by those present, and the following officers were 
unanimously elected : President, Dr. C. V. Riley, of Washington ; Ist 
Vice-President, Prof. S. A. Forbes, of Illinois; 2nd Vice-President, Prof. 
A. J. Cook, of Michigan; Secretary, Prof. J. B. Smith of New Jersey. 
The Secretary and Mr. Howard were appointed a Committee to prepare 
By-laws, and after agreeing to meet at the ume and place of the next 
meeting of the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment 
Stations the Association adjourned. 
So well started and in a field where so much remains to be done, 
the Association can scarcely fail of success — unless individual jealou- 
sies and ambitions cause its disruption.
