President (to Mr. Joslyn): I will say briefly on behalf 
of the society, but more on my own behalf, that I think the 
society is to be congratulated on your election to this honorable 
position. ‘To be elected to preside over a body of scientific men, 
and men of wisdom and experience, is a great honor. I only 
regret that the rules of this body do not allow me to put you in 
this chair at this time; but I think Mr. Clark and others have 
held the chair until the end of the session, so until a vear from 
now you will have to be considered president-elect. 
Mr. Joslyn: Mr. President, I fully appreciate all that you 
say about the dignity and honor of the position which you now 
hold, and which we are all pleased to have you hold until the 
end of this meeting. 
Last year this society did me what I considered then, and 
so told it, the high honor of electing me vice-president. I be- 
lieve I told you then that I appreciated the character of the work 
of this body, and I certainly appreciate it more as I have looked 
into it further. It will be my endeavor, so long as I am presi- 
dent, to do nothing of which any one of you shall ever have the 
right to complain. It will be my aim to do everything I can to 
further the best interests of the society in every way that I know 
how. 
This is not the time to make a speech, Mr. President, but 
since I am on my feet I take this occasion once for all to thank 
you most sincerely and earnestly for the high honor which you 
have conferred upon me. 
(Great applause. )
