 local committee on Sunday evening, December 27, 

 to the officers and councils of the constituent so- 

 cieties of the federation and of the Anatomists. 



The customary and universally satisfactory in- 

 formal subscription dinners and smokers were held 

 on the evenings of December 28, 29 and 30 ; the 

 first two at the Hotel Jefferson and the last one 

 at the Hotel Warwick. Perhaps the most enjoyable 

 of these was the first on December 28, when a 

 number of excellent speeches were delivered, the 

 speakers being the guests of the evening, Mr. R. S. 

 Brookings, Dr. Graham Lusk, Dr. J. George 

 Adami and Dr. G. Carl Huber. 



At the last executive session of the Pharmaco- 

 logical iSociety a motion was put and passed 

 unanimously to thank the authorities of Wash- 

 ington University for their hospitality and the 

 local committee for its broad and efficient efforts 

 to render the stay of their guests in St. Louis as 

 pleasant and profitable as possible. 



The next meeting of the federation will be held 

 in 1915 in Boston at the Harvard Medical School.
