There has been a small gain in our membership, though three 
valuable members died during the year, and a few found it necessary 
to resign. For the sake of comparison, the membership from 1907 and 
for 1908 is given.

By a concerted effort on the part of the active members a similar 
gain in membership may be made every year. Interest in science, 
pure and applied, was never so great as now, and zeal for research in 
new fields, and for the utilization of what has been discovered in old 
fields, is on the increase. Moreover, if one is not a scientist, he may 
have faith in the value of scientific culture and may be glad to pro- 
mote the work of an Academy like ours.
