REPORT OF WINTER MEETINGS 



Worcester, Mass., Dec. 2, 1914 

 Your Committee on Winter Meetings would report a 

 very successful series of meetings at one of which our 

 delegate to the American Pomological Meeting in Washing- 

 ton, D. C, David L. Fiske, Esq., of Grafton, made a very 

 interesting report. Ladies' da}^ had a large attendance with 

 an interesting talk on 'Tndian life," legends and songs by 

 Miss Bee Ma3^es or ^'Floating cloud." 



In past years we have been told about the frozen north 

 by Professor MacMillan, who is now in the Arctic regions, 

 while in this series we had a sharp contrast in a lecture on 

 ^^ Travels in South America," by Professor Blakeslee of 

 Clark College. 



Closed with the Annual Reunion at which, with a fine 

 array of speakers, President Breed ably presided; followed 

 by a social time and dancing in the lower hall under the 

 direction of Clifford T. Eldridge and his aids. 



For the Committee, 

 ARTHUR J. MARBLE, Chairman.
