Thirty-third Annual Meeting 281 
3. The Academy further expresses to Professor Rice its gratitude 
for his years of service as secretary, a service involving much sacrifice 
on his part; and we record our appreciation of the fact that the increas- 
ing strength of the Academy during the last decade has been due in 
considerable measure to his influence.
