A loss particularly severe has been occasioned by the 

 death of Professor Salisbury, a charter member and for-

 emy, the state, and the nation has been outstanding, and 

 his place will be impossible to fill. 



The Illinois State Academy of Science desires here-

 Singled out for special appreciative mention are Knox 

 and Lombard Colleges, the Galesburg High School, the 

 Knox County Academy of Science, the Knox College 

 Biology Club, the Lombard College Chemical Fraternity, 

 the High School Science Club, the Galesburg Chamber of 

 Commerce, the Galesburg Press, the Galesburg Street 

 Car Company, and, last but by no means least, the local 

 committee on arrangements of which Mr. Fred P. Jelliff 

 has been the efficient chairman, and Mr. Paul Houdek a
