the fern bulletin 



Rev. S. M. Newman who for many years has resided 

 in Washington, D. C, has gone to Front Royal, Va., 

 as President of Eastern College. Our Society counts 

 among its members men of eminence in nearly all walks 

 of life, including one who has several times been men- 

 tioned for President of this Nation but this is our first 

 member from the list of College Presidents. The best 

 wishes of all fern students will go with Mr. Newman 

 in his new position. 



Members who do not receive acknowledgment of 

 dues within a reasonable time after sending will con- 

 fer a favor on the Treasurer by notifying her at once, 

 stating whether the dues were sent in cash or otherwise. 

 Instances have come to her notice where the dues have 

 not reached her. 



The grim Reaper has been unusually busy among 

 the members of the Society during the past year and 

 we record with much regret the loss of Edward R. 

 Heacock, Wyncote, Pa., Mrs. W. H. Woolworth, 

 Youngstown, N. Y., Mrs. C. A. Pearson, Holyoke, 

 Mass., Mr. Geo. E. Davenport, Medford, Mass., Mr. 

 B. D. Gilbert, Clayville, N. Y. and Dr. L. M. Under- 

 wood, New York City. Biographical sketches of all 

 will appear in the next annual Report of the Society.
