The Academy is approaching its centenary. For nearly one 

 hundred years its progress has been steady and progressive and 

 during all that time its resources have been employed exclusively for 

 the intellectual advancement of mankind in connection with the work 

 of unselfish and devoted men. Its influence has not been local but 

 has been exerted wherever scientific research is cultivated. With 

 greatly increased resources and with improved methods of adminis- 

 tration its honorable record will assuredly be maintained as the 

 years go on.
