In proposing the name of Mr. Gifford for Librarian, the Nomina- 
ting Committee had in mind the fact that the duties of this office 
would be of a radically different nature from what they have been 
in the past and wishes to take this opportunity of testifying to the 
carefulness, energy and unusual ability displayed by the present incum- 
ment, Miss Mary J. Klem, in the past, in which sentiment it feels 
assured that the Academy will concur. 
Respectfully submitted, 
(Signed) Gro. W. Bock, 
F. ScHWARZ, 
J. F. ABBOTT. 
The following were elected to membership: Arthur E.
