ing reduced fares in this territory to the two 

 cents a mile basis, the Central Passenger 

 Association can not make a further reduction 

 by authorizing the certificate plan. From 

 western points special tourist fares may be 

 obtained. The hotel headquarters of the 

 American Association will be the Hotel 

 Statler, recently opened, with a very large 

 number of rooms, all having baths, at the rate 

 of $2 a day. The hotels are all near the 

 center of the city. Persons arriving by the 

 New York Central lines (Lake Shore or Big 

 Four roads) or by the Pennsylvania lines, may 

 conveniently alight at the Union Station; 

 street cars run from this station directly to 

 the hotels. Those arriving by other roads 

 should go to the city stations in order to 

 reach the hotel district conveniently. Section 

 K, the American Physiological Society, the 

 American Society of Biological Chemists, the 

 American Association of Anatomists and the 

 Society for Pharmacology and Experimental 

 Therapeutics will meet at the Western Reserve 

 Medical College, which is within easy walking 

 distance of any of the hotels named. All 

 other sections and affiliated societies will meet 

 at Adelbert College, Case School of Applied 

 Science, or the Normal School, which provide 

 abundant facilities, so that related societies 

 can be conveniently grouped. With the ex- 

 ception of the Western Eeserve Medical 

 College, the buildings are all close together, 

 so that it wiU be convenient to pass from the 

 meetings of one section to those of another. 

 These institutions are all situated about four 

 miles east of the center of the city, on Euclid 

 Avenue, between East lOYth Street and East 

 115th Street. All Euclid Avenue street cars, 

 going eastward, pass these institutions. The 

 cars run about once a minute, and require 

 from twenty to twenty-five minutes to go 

 from the hotels to the colleges. The street 

 car fare in Cleveland is three cents, with 

 universal transfers. Luncheon will be served 

 in one of the buildings where meetings are 

 held, probably at the Normal School, and 

 there are several restaurants and lunch-rooms 

 in the vicinity of the colleges. It is thought 



that all attending the meetings can be con- 

 veniently served. The general headquarters 

 will be in the main building of Adelbert Col- 

 lege of Western Eeserve University, where 

 there will be writing and rest rooms with the 

 usual conveniences; there will also be rest 

 rooms in various other buildings. 



There will be sent to each member of the 

 American Association by mail, included with 

 bill for annual dues, a white registration card 

 bearing the name and address of the member 

 printed thereon. It is requested that this 

 card be brought to Cleveland by each member 

 attending the meeting and filled in by him to 

 indicate his Cleveland address, his section, his 

 afiiliated society connections, together with 

 the names of visiting ladies accompanying 

 him. After the above information has been 

 noted on card by the member, the card should 

 be presented to the registration clerk at the 

 headquarters, main building, Adelbert College, 

 in exchange for official program and member's 

 identification button. This can be accom- 

 plished without delay and the waiting in line 

 as at previous meetings will be avoided. 

 Official receipts for dues are mailed to mem- 

 bers on the same day that their payments 

 reach the office of the permanent secretary. 

 For their own comfort, members are urged 

 to send their dues to the permanent secretary 

 as far in advance of the meeting as possible. 

 In this way they will receive their cards by 

 mail at once and avoid the necessity of wait- 

 ing in line to make payment at the meeting. 

 Nominations to membership and letters rela- 

 ting to the general business of the association 

 should be sent to the permanent secretary, 

 Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 

 It is strongly urged that each member should 

 make an effort to secure the nomination of 

 some desirable new member. 



The local executive committee for the 

 Cleveland meeting consists of Charles F. 

 Brush, honorary chairman; Frank P. Whit- 

 man, chairman; Dayton C. Miller, secretary; 

 Worcester E. Warner, chairman, finance com- 

 mittee; Miss Jean Dawson, Theodore M. 

 Focke, Edward P. Hyde, Franklin T. Jones,
