SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
The board of examiners reported favorably on the names 
of the applicants for membership referred to them at last 
meeting - , with the exception of I. B. Dalzeil, of San Fran¬ 
cisco. The board said that this applicant was a veterinary 
dentist and had not received a license from the State board 
* 
of examiners, therefore was not eligible for membership. On 
motion by Dr. Fox the board’s report was accepted, and upon 
motion by Dr. Pierce the applicants that were reccom- 
mended by the board of examiners were elected as active 
members of the Association. The names of those elected are 
as follows: Dr. H. Lemke, Bakersfield; Dr. A. Paterson, Dr. 
H. Fabbi, Dr. A. Robin, San Francisco ; Dr. G. F. Faulkner, 
Salinas; Dr. H. A. Forest, Santa Cruz ; Dr. A. T. Williams, 
Maysville ; Dr. H. R. Jackson and J. J. Hogarty, Oakland; 
Dr. D. J. H. Eddy, Stockton. 
The board of directors reported favorably and recom¬ 
mended the adoption of the proposed amendment to the 
constitution and by-laws referred to them at last meeting. 
On motion by Dr. Maclay the board’s report was accepted, 
and the amendments as recommended were adopted. 
On motion by Dr. Maclay the secretary was instructed to 
procure printed copies of the constitution and by-laws as 
amended, and that he be empowered to draw on the treasurer 
for the amount necessary for same. 
The secretary then read a communication from Dr. R. H. 
Power, Stockton, in which he stated that he desired to with¬ 
draw from the Association. 
On motion by Dr. Fox, Dr. Power’s resignation was 
accepted. 
Several communications from absent members were read 
by the secretary expressing regrets for being unable to attend 
the meeting. 
The chair declared that nominations for officers for the en¬ 
suing year were in order, because at last meeting it was 
impossible to find a member who was willing to accept the 
office of secretary. Dr. Maclay nominated Dr. R. A. Archi¬ 
bald for secretary, whereupon, on motion by Dr. Orvis, the 
nominations were closed.
