Presentation of a Bronze Medal to the American 

 Fisheries Society by the Panama-Pacific 

 International Exposition. 



By Hon. C. S. Scott, of the Board of Commissioners of 

 the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. 



Mr. President and Gentlemen'. It affords me great 

 pleasure to represent the President and the Board of 

 Directors on this occasion, and to extend to you their 

 greeting and welcome here within our midst. We want 

 you to feel that you are at home, and we are simply ex- 

 tending officially a greeting and welcome. 



In commemoration of your meeting here with us, and 

 of this day, and on behalf of the Exposition and the 

 Directors, and President Moore, I take great pleasure 

 in presenting to you a medal, made of bronze, on which 

 is inscribed: "The American Fisheries Society, Forty- 

 fifth Annual Meeting, September 3, 1915." On the re- 

 verse side: "In Commemoration Panama-Pacific Inter- 

 national Exposition, San Francisco." While this has no 

 intrinsic value, it carries with it the best wishes that 

 we can extend, in words or otherwise, for the future 

 success of your organization. 



President Fearing responded, expressing the thanks 

 of the Society to the officers of the Exposition for their 

 greeting and for the gift of the medal. The medal was 

 placed in the hands of the Recording Secretary for 

 preservation.
