Proceedings Forty-eighth Annual Meeting 91 



fish experts in Chicago, Washington, Boston, Gloucester and 

 other cities. I have secured much valuable information from the 

 professors in your schools and from your commissioners along the 

 line of fisheries, both as regards the industrial and scientific 

 questions involved, as well as with reference to the food situation. 

 Altogether, I shall have spent six months in this country. Every- 

 where I have gone I have received helpful information. You have 

 made a great progress with this work in your country and it is 

 known all over the world. 



I have had the temerity to suggest in various places that you 

 establish courses with reference to fish culture in your various 

 universities and I have agreed to send photographs and informa- 

 tion concerning what we are doing to those of you in this country 

 who are interested. I hope that we may have the pleasure of 

 communicating with each other in the future frequently and of 

 exchanging information and ideas and I can assure you I shall 

 always be glad to have you mail me any of your publications with 

 regard to fish culture. In return I should be very glad indeed to 

 submit to you any of our publications, only I am sorry they would 

 be printed in Chinese characters and might be a little difficult 

 to read. 



In addition, as the world is small these days, I hope that it 

 may be your opportunity in the near future to make a trip to the 

 Orient, perhaps after the war, in order that you may study some 

 of the conditions in China. I shall be very glad indeed to welcome 

 you at any time. 



President O'Malley replied briefly to Dr. Sun, thanking him 

 for his address and assuring him of the honor the Society felt in 

 his presence at the meeting. 



The Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, Mr. M. L. 

 Alexander, presented the following resolution: 



As an evidence of the loyalty of this body, the Committee on Resolu- 

 tions has decided to ask the Society that they remit the dues of all members 

 who are now in the service of our government and that this resolution be 

 passed upon immediately. 



The motion was seconded by Mr. John W. Titcomb and passed 

 unanimously. 



The session was adjourned.
