Franklin, elected in 191 2, and Pi-ofessor Henry Norris Russell, a 

 newly elected member, subscribed the laws and were admitted into 

 the Society. 



Afternoon Session — 2 o'clock. 



Edward C. Pickering, D.Sc, LL.D., F.R.S., Vice-President, in 



the Chair. 



A portrait of William W. Keen, M.D., LL.D., President of the 

 Society, was presented by Joseph G. Rosengarten, A.M., LL.D., on 

 behalf of the subscribers. 



Mr. Chairman and Members: 



On behalf of the subscribers, I have the honor and privilege of 

 presenting to the Society, the portrait of our President, Dr. William 

 W. Keen, by Robert Vonnoh. 



Among the one hundred and twenty-nine subscribers, — a list 

 will be handed to the Secretaries for preservation among its records, 

 will be found the names of many representatives of institutions of 

 learning, many men noted in science and letters, who thus testify 

 their grateful sense of Dr. Keen's great services to the Philosophical 

 Society, both as member and as President. 



His portrait is that of the seventeenth President, thus adding 

 one more to the long series that adorn this hall, beginning with the 

 first president, Hopkinson, followed by Franklin, Jefferson, Ritten- 

 house, Wistar, the two Pattersons, father and son, Tilghman, Chap- 

 man, the two Baches, Kane, Wood, Fraley, the second Wistar, 

 Edgar F. Smith, and now Keen. 



This portrait represents Dr. Keen seated in Franklin's chair, 

 and in the cap and gown of the University of St. Andrews, for both 

 Franklin and Keen were the recipients of its Doctor's degree. 



Of Dr. Keen's distinguished career, it is enough to say that a 

 graduate of Brown University in 1859, he is also a Trustee and 

 Fellow, as well as the recipient from that University, and from 

 Toronto and Yale and Greifswald and Upsala and St. Andrews, of 

 their highest academic honors.
