NEW OSLEANS MEETING OF TSE AMEBI- 

 CAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY 



The fiftieth meeting of the American Chemi- 

 cal Society was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, 

 March 31 to April 3, 1915. For the most part, 

 the members reached New Orleans during the 

 morning of March 31 and spent some hours in 

 viewing the unique attractions of the city. At 

 4:30 P.M., two hundred and fifty members and 

 guests boarded a steamer for a trip down the 

 Mississippi Eiver, the usual complimentary smoker 

 being held on the boat. The smoker was one of 

 unusual attractions, the long cabin of the boat 

 being festooned with Spanish moss and laurel and 

 various southern evergreens, making a very at- 

 tractive scene. The evening was enlivened by 

 music from two orchestras and a vaudeville 

 troupe. The boat returned to New Orleans in 

 time for the council meeting, held at ten o'clock 

 P.M. at the Hotel Grunewald. On Thursday 

 morning, April 1, after addresses of welcome by 

 Hon. Martin Behrman, mayor of New Orleans, 

 and President Eobert Sharp of Tulane Univer- 

 sity, and an appropriate response from Presi- 

 dent Charles H. Herty of the society, the gen- 

 eral meeting was called to order. Professor 

 Alfred Werner, of the University of Zurich, 

 having been duly nominated and having received a 

 majority vote of the council, was elected to hon- 

 orary membership in the society. The meeting 

 then listened to an address by A. D. Little on 

 "The Industrial Eesources and Opportunities of 

 the South." Following this address, the Indus- 

 trial Division held a public symposium throughout 

 the day, presenting the following papers, all of 

 which, with the exception of the paper by H. A. 

 Huston, have been printed in the April, 1915,
