The death of Joseph Willcox, October 1st, deprived the Academy 
of the services of one who had been interested in the mineralogical 
work of the society since his election to membership in December, 
1867. He had served for years as Custodian of the Isaac Lea collec¬ 
tions, a position which he held at the time of his death. 
The Ludwick Institute Free Lecture Courses were delivered at 
the Academy on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, January 7th to 
April 26th, by Witmer Stone, B. Franklin Royer, James A. G. Rehn, 
Spencer Trotter, Henry A. Pilsbry, J. Percy Moore and J. Fletcher 
Street. It was necessary early in the year, conforming to govern¬ 
ment regulations, to change the lectures scheduled for Monday 
evenings to Thursday evenings. To economize fuel it was also neces¬ 
sary to give a portion of the course in the more easily heated library 
hall. Ten of the lectures were on the natural history of Philadel¬ 
phia and vicinity, especially adapted to school-children. The latter 
were by Messrs. Stone, Moore, Street, Pilsbry and Rehn. 
Meetings of the Pennsylvania Audubon Society, the Babies’ Wel¬ 
fare Association, and the Philadelphia Pediatric Society were held in 
the Lecture Hall.
