bring about the desired result. None of those whom it was 
intended to arouse have as yet paid in a single dollar. No steps 
have been taken to force a settlement, owing to the fact that 
many of the applications are not in proper shape at the present 
time. It was not deemed wise, therefore, to act till we were sure 
of success. 
I would suggest that in. the future all applications be filled 
out properly and accurately, that all the members of the Board 
of Censors sign them as well as approve them. 
I would also suggest that a special book be kept by the Cor¬ 
responding Secretary containing the Constitution and By-Laws 
for the signatures of all new members. 
There are at the present time 118 active members, 14 mem¬ 
bers having been dropped or suspended for non-payment of dues. 
Since our last meeting we have lost one of our number, Dr. 
W. U. Custer, of Reading, who died Dec. 1, 1895, making the 
number of active members 117. 
I have received three applications for membership, Drs. Geo. 
B. Jobson, A. O. Cawley, and Clias. Falconer. 
All letters during the past year have been answered and filed 
for future reference. 
All new members have been notified and furnished with the 
Constitution and By-Laws of this Association. 
^ All certificates that have been paid for have been forwarded 
toThe members. 
I have some seven certificates uncalled for, and have not de¬ 
livered them owing to the fact that the members have not paid 
their initiation fees. 
I am awaiting a remittance. 
Respectfully submitted,
