18 Thirty-fifth Annual Meeting 
and I have, therefore, thought it wise to name that committee as 
well. 
For the committee on nominations I have thought the society 
could do no better than to have me name Mr. Henry T. Root as 
the chairman. 'The other members of that committee are Mr. 
Frank N. Clark of Northville; our old friend who is somewhat ill 
but has been a long while with the society and a valued member 
of it, whom you all know, Mr. J. J. Hogan of La Crosse, Wis. ; 
Dr. T. H. Bean, whom you all know, who has been with us a 
long time, and Mr. 8. P. Wires. 
As committee on location I will name the following gentle- 
men: Samuel F. Fullerton, Mr. W. E. Meehan, Mr. C. W. Will- 
ard, Mr. Herbert D. Dean, and Dr. E. A. Birge. 
Mr. Clark: There is one important committee I think neces-

President: I think this suggestion is wise and with the per- 
mission of the society I will name our worthy secretary, Mr. Pea- 
body, as chairman, Mr. John W. Titcomb and Mr. Dwight Ly- 
dell. 
I desire to suggest at this time that the Grand Rapids com- 
mittee on arrangements, as some of you and perhaps all of you

It has been suggested to me that seven o’clock would be a con- 
venient hour. One of the reasons why that hour has been sug- 
gested is this: they have most graciously put at the disposal of 
this society an electric car or sufficient electric cars to transport 
the entire society to the Lakeside Club, where the banquet is to 
be held, and it was suggested in the same connection that a visit 
to the state hatchery at Mill Creek be taken also in the after- 
noon, so that we could take the car about four or five o’clock, or 
whatever time is agreed upon, and go down to the hatchery, look 
that over, and then the same car would transport us to the Lake- 
side Club where we have our banquet. 
It will be remembered by those who attended the meeting last 
year that a resolution was adopted, which, of course, would not 
be binding upon this meeting but was a suggestion, that the fore- 
noon of the second day of the meeting should be given up entire-
