The members of this Society Avill remember with what great pleasure 

 Professor Bodine attended the spring meeting. He was a lover of nature 

 and delighted in the open air meeting held by the Society, not only because 

 of the long tramps over the hills, but also because of the chance for compan- 

 ionship and discussion with his fellow scientists. He has often told me that 

 his chief interest in the Society was the fellowship it afforded and his cordial 

 hearty greetings are well remembered by all the older members of this 

 Society. 



As a scientist and a student of science he was recognized throughout 

 the country. He was a Fellow both of the American Association and of the 

 Indiana Academy and served as the president of the latter organization 

 during the year 1913. His presidential address was one of unusual interest, 



In 1914 Professor Bodine was married to Mrs. Emma Clugston of Craw- 

 fordsville. In the early days of August of the past summer they went to north- 

 ern Michigan to plan a summer home. They selected a site for their cottage 

 and on the day when the fatal end came had been busily engaged with their 

 final plans. In the evening Avhile visiting some friends and in the midst 

 of a lively conversation death came without the slightest warning.
