INTRODUCTORY PROCEEDINGS. xix 



The Secretary then read the Hst of the deceased Members and Associates. 



The President : — Among those who have died during the past year appear the names 

 of three who have been members of the Society from its organization — Messrs. Davidson, 

 Dickey and Veit. They gave to the Society the benefit of their rich experience, and we 

 shall miss their presence very much. 



In the list of Associates appears the name of Clement A. Griscom, Jr., son of our la- 

 mented first president, and himself one of our earliest and most valuable members. 



Another on the Hst, although only a Junior Member, has shed a special luster upon the 

 Society, for Lieut. Parr Hooper answered his country's call and made the supreme sacrifice 

 on the fields of France. 



Others of those whose names have just been read by the secretary have entered fully 

 into the activities of this Society, among them Mr. Bates, who was one of our oldest mem- 

 bers, Messrs. Pleasants, Allen, Newman, and Williamson. 



The passing of all of these members we note with the deepest regret. 



The secretary will now read the list of applicants who have been recommended by the 

 Council for election to membership in this Society. 



The Secretary: — The total number of applicants who have applied for the grade of 

 full Member and have been recommended favorably by the Council is 96, the names being
