SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AGADEMY OF SCIENCES 2% 
CORPORATION AND OFFICERS 
The Academy of Sciences of Southern California has become an 
incorporated body under the laws of the State of California, and is 
legally entitled to all the rights and provileges and clothed with all 
the responsibilities that attach to public corporations in this State. 
It has done a noble work in the past in its more limited sphere. It is 
hoped that some of the ardent lovers of science in this favored clime 
will contribute of their wisdom and substance toward securing for the 
Academy a permanent home, where such a collection of scientific data, 
specimens and literature may be housed as will be a credit to Southern 
California and the scholarship it represents and fosters. Many donations 
of immense interest and of permanent value would be forthcoming if a 
suitable place were provided for their proper care and preservation. 
With such facilities for work as are appropriate, the Southern California 
Academy of Sciences would soon be recognized as among the most active 
and efficient instruments of popular instruction and moral influence in 
this community. 
The following officers of the corporation were elected to serve 
during the first year, terminating June, 1908: 
President—B. R. Baumgardt. 
First Vice-Presidnet—Wm. H. Knight.
