OCTOBER 18, 1906. 



Meeting of the Council. 



A letter from the Secretary, Rev. F. B. Makepeace, was read 

 in which Mr. Makepeace spoke of his recent change of resi- 

 dence to Granby, Conn. On account of a plan cherished by 

 him of returning to New York after a year and of his deep 

 interest in the Society Mr. Makepeace wrote that he would 

 not at present resign his Secretaryship, or membership, and 

 made request that someone be chosen to serve in his absence 

 during the rest of the year. As no one was willing to assume 

 the responsibilities of an Acting Secretary in the absence of 

 the Secretary, the chair appointed Rev. Henry M. Brown Sec- 

 retary pro tempore. 



Mr. Clarence T. Steele, and Dr. Joseph S. Taylor, were nom- 

 inated for membership in the Society and subsequently elected. 



Voted. That the Council express its deep regret that the 

 Secretary, Mr. Makepeace, is obliged to be absent, and that the 

 hearty thanks of the Council be given to him for the faithful 

 and devoted labor he has bestowed upon the organization and 

 'development of the Society, and that the Secretary pro tern. 

 be instructed to convey to Mr. Makepeace an expression of the 

 esteem of the Council. 



Voted. That the November meeting be referred to the Com- 

 mittee on Art, Mr. Stoughton chairman, the December meeting 

 to the Committee on Industries and applied Sciences, Mr. 

 Brown chairman, the January meeting to the Committee on 

 Natural Sciences, and that the Council adopt the suggestion 

 of the chairman of the Committee on Music, Dr. Schauffler, 

 that for the February meeting, he deliver a lecture on the 

 development of the piano or of the violin.
