64 INTRODUCTORY PROCEEDINGS. 



and the gentleman in question had, as we all know, given the very best thought that was in 

 him to the well-being of the Society — and that, we all know, meant a great deal. I take 

 great pleasure in announcing that the Council unanimously recommended for the presi- 

 dency of the Society for the ensuing term of three years, Mr. Walter M. McFarland. (Ap- 

 plause.) It seems quite unnecessary to put his election to formal vote. Your reception of 

 the announcement indicates quite clearly that his election is made by acclamation. 



The Council also recommended for election the following gentlemen as Vice-Presidents 

 for the term expiring December 31, 1924: Lewis Nixon, H. I. Cone, C. H. Peabody, J. W. 

 Powell. 



For Members of Council for the term expiring December 31, 1924: Andrew Fletcher, 

 J. H. Mull, C. W. Dyson, E. H. M. Robinson, W. G. Coxe, Robert Haig. 



For Associate Members of Council, for the term expiring December 31, 1924: E. M. 

 Bull and J. N. Pew, Jr. 



For Executive Committee: Stevenson Taylor, W. L. Capps, Andrew Fletcher, F. L. 

 DuBosque, J. W. Powell. 



For Committee on Papers: F. L. DuBosque, J. Rowland Gardner, H. L. Aldrich. 



For Secretary and Treasurer, last but never least, Daniel H. Cox. 



Gentlemen, what is your pleasure with reference to the recommendation of the Council, 

 regarding the names of officers which have been presented to you? 



Mr. Mason S. Chace : — I move that the recommendations of the Council be accepted. 



The President : — It is moved and seconded that the recommendation submitted by the 

 Council be accepted by the Society. All in favor say "Aye," contrary-minded, "No." The 

 "Ayes" have it. The officers whose names have been presented are unanimously elected.
