 report ? 



Mr. Meehan : I would like to have the privilege of presenting 

 our report in sections, as the exigencies of the occasion arise. 

 Two or three things have come up, and we can very likely fix it 

 in that way.

Mr. Meehan : I would first like to read the ]'esolution in re- 

 gard to the passing away of a numl)er of the memliers during the 

 year. 



Hesolulioii read l)y Dr. ^leeban as follows: 



During the year our ranks have been depleted by the scythe 

 which is no I'especter of young or old. Their work and counsel 

 will still l)e at our command, but no longer will they in person 

 inspire us to new achievements. HoAvever, we can go along the 

 paths tliat they have hewn out; and the world may not know 

 except in tliis tribute that we pay, how much they did to better 

 the world that they lived in. It is we that have known them 

 jx'rsoiially. who fully appreciate their work; l)ut. like the tiii\' 

 e(;r;il insect, who builds up his nest that in time makes an island.
