The Academy of Science of St Louis was founded in 1856 
and chartered by the Nineteenth General Assembly o£ the 
State of Missouri by an act dated January 17, 1857. The 
objects for which the Academy of Science was founded are 
set forth in the Charter. They are threefold: first, the ad- 
vancement of science; second, the establishment in the City of 
St. Louis of a museum for the illustration and study of the 
various branches of science: third, the creation of a scientific 
library. Membership in the Academy is not limited to those 
actively engaged as scientific workers; those interested in 
science are equally welcome.
