—— 
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF 
AMERICAN ANATOMISTS.' 
SIXTEENTH SESSION. 
Columbian University Medical School, Washington, D. C., 
December 80 and 31, 1902. 
At its general business session, the association adopted the following 
recommendations made by the executive committee:— 
1. To accept the invitation tendered by the American Association 
for the Advancement of Science to form an aftiliation with that associa- 
tion and to elect a delegate to its Council. Such affiliation impairs 
in no degree the integrity of the Association of American Anatomists 
and does not bind this association to meet with the American Associa- 
tion for the Advancement of Science, unless it deems 1t expedient. 
2. To omit the session in connection with the Congress of American 
Physicians and Surgeons in May of 1903. 
3. To omit from the program abstracts of papers presented at the 
meetings. 
4. That newly elected members must qualify by payment of dues 
for one year within thirty days after election (By-Laws). 
5. That any change in the constitution of this association must be 
presented in writing at one meeting in order to receive consideration 
and be acted upon at the next meeting; due notice of the proposed 
change to be sent to each member at least one month in advance of 
the meeting at which such action is to be taken. 
The following amendment to Article V of the constitution was pro- 
posed at this meeting and will receive consideration at the next annual 
meeting:—Candidates for membership must be persons engaged in the 
investigation of anatomical or cognate sciences and shall be proposed 
in writing to the executive committee by two members, who shall ac- 
company the recommendation by a list of the candidate’s publications, 
together with the references. 
1These proceedings should be bound at the end of Vol. 2.
