ANNUAL MEETING 



of the 



Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences 



May ijth, igoj 



At the Annual meeting- of the Buffalo Society of Natural 

 Sciences held May 17, 1907 at which Hon. T. Guilford Smith, 

 LL. D. , President of the Society, presided, the President's 

 address traced the growth and development of the Society from 

 its small beginnings and dwelt upon the important educational 

 work which it is now doing, the value of that work to this city 

 in its co-operation with the Department of Public Instruction, 

 in its free lecture courses and in its valuable scientific collec- 

 tions which are at all times open to the public. The recent 

 Bulletin reviewing the work which the Society has done in co- 

 operation with the Public Schools, has awakened a wide spread 

 interest and other Cities than our own are following our 

 example. In this great work we have taken the lead and it is 

 planned not only to continue it but to extend the scope of its 

 usefulness. 



The reports of officers and committees were then sub- 

 mitted.

 given by him at the Society's rooms to the children of the 

 Buffalo Public Schools, as shown in the following schedule.
