334 ROCHESTER ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. [Jan. I4, 



1889. During the years iS8r-i888 the Section met at the Academy- 

 rooms in Reynolds Arcade. 



During 23 years the Section has steadily carried on its work, 

 with no serious interruption. A band of nature's devotees, they have 

 held aloft the torch of Science while all the other sections have died. 

 What is the reason for the success and vitality of the Section ? Partly, 

 possibly to great extent, that the majority of workers have been 

 women. And partly the possession for the last thirteen years of a 

 pleasant meeting place, through the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Streeter and the superior advantages by the use of Mr. Streeter's 

 unsurpassed microscopical apparatus and material, and his extensive 

 library. In partial recognition of his services to the Society Mr. 

 Streeter was some time since elected a Life Member.
