 occupy an afternoon session, or, if desired by the 

 sectional committee, both morning and afternoon 

 sessions of the same day. This program shall 

 include the vice-presidential address. 



Sesolved, That, as it is the policy of the Asso- 

 ciation to avoid competition with programs pre-

 sections are recommended to arrange no programs 

 of special papers for the annual meetings: 

 Provided, that the corresponding national society 

 meets at the same time and place.
