 Stevenson, M. I. Pupin, Charles Baskerville, N. L. Britton, Simon 

 Flexner, E. B. Wilson and J. Mo-Keen Cattell, secretary. Dr. R. 

 S. Woodward, president of the Carnegie Institution of Washing- 

 ton, is treasurer of the Association, and Dr. L. O. Howard, of the 

 Smithsonian Institution, is the permanent secretary. This is the 

 sixty-ninth meeting of the American Association, which was 

 established in 1848; it is, further, the first of the greater con- 

 vocation week meetings, to be held hereafter once in four years, 

 successively in New York, Chicago and Washington. When the 

 association last met in New York ten years ago, there were about 

 5,000 members, the attendance was over 2,000 and there were 

 nearly 1,000 papers on the programs; the membership of the 

 association at present numbers over 10,000; the coming meeting 

 may, therefore, be expected to be large and interesting.
