June, 1922 



RECEPTION 



Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Harrison will receive 

 the delegates^, members and guests informally 

 at a garden party on the evening of June 

 27th. 



CONVENTION NOTES 



If you are planning to attend the Conven- 

 tion, notify the General Secretary at once. 

 This is very important. 



No banquets are being held in Montreal. 

 The evenings of Tuesday, Thursday and Fri- 

 day are open and members can visit Mont- 

 real in groups. It was considered advisable, 

 in order to avoid confusion, to keep the Con- 

 vention at the College. 



President J. B. Reynolds will preside at 

 all business sessions and will introduce all 

 speakers at luncheons, dinners, etc. 



Chairmen have yet to be appointed for the 

 lectures in economics, plant industry and 

 animal industry. 



Special committees are attending to all 

 local arrangements, and will guarantee that 

 everyone coming to the Convention will be 

 comfortably accomodated, well entertained, 

 intellectually and physically nourished, and 

 will leave with regret. 



There are splendid tennis courts, swim- 

 ming batlis, a nine hole golf course, and other 

 facilities for spending the evenings.
