THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY. 



The fall meeting of the Physical Society 

 was held in Fayerweather Hall, Columbia 

 University, New York City, on Saturday, 

 October 28, 1905. President Barus presided. 



The society adopted the following minute 

 expressive of the great loss sustained by itself 

 and by the world of science in the death of 

 OUT vice-president, our colleague and our 

 friend, Professor DeWitt Bristol Brace, on 

 October 2, 1905. 



It was under the shadow of this bereave- 

 ment that the autumn meeting of the society 

 was convened — a bereavement which is a per- 

 sonal one to nearly every member of the or- 

 ganization. A frequent contributor to the 

 program, a vice-president of the society, a 

 charter member, and the genial friend of every 

 other member. Professor Brace will be long 

 and keenly missed by every one of us. For 

 not only have our proceedings been enriched 

 by his contributions to knowledge, but those 

 in attendance upon our meetings have always 

 been inspired by his devotion to pure science,
