 mously adopted.

 neighboring states were made honorary members for one year. 



The President: If former President Pendergast were still in 

 the chair it would be proper to follow out the printed program and 

 have closing remarks by the president, but it was not intended that 

 I should make a speech. If there is nothing more to come before 

 the society I will declare the annual meeting adjourned.
