PROCEEDINGS OF THE KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE: 
13th ANNUAL MEETING. 
REPORTED BY PROF. J. D. PARKER. 
The Kansas Academy convened in Topeka on Thursday, November 11th, and 
held a business meeting in Dr. Thompson’s office at 3 o’clock. There was a good 
attendance of the scientific men of the State; also quite a number from Missouri. 
Although the Academy has met with severe loss in the death of Professors Mudge, 
Fraser, Bardwell and Kedzie, their mantles have fallen upon others, who come 
forward with alacrity to fill their places. The following officers for the ensuing 
year were elected: President, J. T. Lovewell of Topeka; first vice-president, 
Jos. Savage of Lawrence; second vice-president, J. H. Carruth of Lawrence; 
secretary, E. A. Popenoe of Manhattan, and treasurer, R. J. Brown of Leaven- 
worth. 
The collections of the Academy have grown to such an extent that a commit- 
tee was appointed to secure a separate room for them in the new Capitol building. 
Fifty dollars were voted from the funds of the society to the Mudge Memorial — 
Fund, and a committee was appointed to superintend the erection of the monu- 
ment. Mr. Joseph Savage made a report in reference to the fund, indicating that 
a general interest all over the country has been taken in doing honor to this 
distinguished geologist. The Academy resolved to take up the geological survey 
-of the State, and appointed a committee to memorialize the legislature on this 
subject.
