SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
Under date of March 19, Secretary Stewart writes as follows : 
“ With the approach of the Spring and its invigorating in¬ 
fluences, the Secretary of the A. V. M. A. would reach out to 
every member of the association with an invitation to consider 
what each may do towards making the annual meeting to be 
held in Atlantic City next September a power for the uplift of 
the association and the profession in general. Under the im¬ 
pulse of the vigorous new growth in all nature at this time, he 
trusts that each member will be enthused and stimulated anew 
in behalf of this organization, and that he may be favored with 
an early notification of papers to be offered for the program. . 
u It is a large task to solicit each member by personal letter, 
and I trust that this will not be necessary. The forum of the 
iV. V. M. A. is one which should be enticing to every member 
as a place where he may present the results of his earnest efforts 
and best thinking, and the privilege to have part in the program 
should be eagerly sought. To date the members have been 
rather backward in this matter, and but few papers have been 
listed. Drs. D. P. Yonkerman, Kalamazoo, Mich. ; Geo. W. 
Dunphy, Quincy, Mich. ; Wm. McEachran, Windsor, Ont. ; C. 
A. Cary, Auburn, Ala., and W. H. Dalrymple, Baton Rouge, 
La., have signified their intentions to offer papers for the coming 
meeting. 
“ The time at the command of the association for this meet¬ 
ing will afford ample time for the presentation and discussion 
of several times the number of papers offered, and it is earnestly 
desired that the members will promptly notify the Secretary 
that they will contribute to the program. 
“ The reports published in the veterinary journals as to the. 
advanced preparation made by the local committee of arrange¬ 
ments indicates that a most valuable clinic will be offered, also 
that the social pleasures will be all that one could desire. 
Cheap transportation is assured, and with these prosperous times 
a very large attendance may be expected, and, in fact, is certain. 
Members on the Pacific Coast are writing that they are now 
planning to attend ; members located in the Central West are 
inquiring if it is certain that a low rate of transportation from 
Buffalo can be counted upon, so that even now the outlook is 
most encouraging for a large attendance from the regions just 
mentioned. 
u The report of the proceedings of the Detroit meeting was 
printed and distributed about December 1st, 1900, and a copy
