The members of this Society will remember with what great pleasure 
Professor Bodine attended the spring meeting. He was a lover of nature 
and delighted in the open air meeting held by the Society, not only because 
of the long tramps over the hills, but also because of the chance for compan- 
ionship and discussion with his fellow scientists. He has often told me that 
his chief interest in the Society was the fellowship it afforded and his cordial 
hearty greetings are well remembered by all the older members of this 
Society. . 
As a scientist and a student of science he was recognized throughout 
the country. He was a Fellow both of the American Association and of the 
Indiana Academy and served as the president of the latter organization 
during the vear 1913. His presidential address was one of unusual interest. 
In 1914 Professor Bodine was married to Mrs. Emma Clugston of Craw- 
fordsville. In the early days of August of the past summer they went to north- 
ern Michigan to plan a summer home. They selected a site for their cottage 
and on the day when the fatal end came had been busily engaged with their 
final plans. In the evening while visiting some friends and in the midst 
of a lively conversation death came without the slightest warning.
