SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Dr. Quitman next stated that he had been devoting all his 
energies in other directions and that he would resign Ins place 
on the committee in favor of parties who have more time to de¬ 
vote to the cause. This, however, did not meet the approval of 
the society, most of the members claiming that he was the right 
man for the place. 
The President called upon Dr. Worms, Chairman of the En¬ 
tertainment Committee, for a report. Dr. Worms stated that 
he did not know that he was chairman of the committee 5 and 
as there was some money in the treasury it was his opinion that 
the society should have a banquet. This consideration was de¬ 
ferred, however, to be brought up under new business. 
The Citerary and Publication Committee, Dr. Walker, chair¬ 
man, announced that Dr. White would read a paper at the next 
meeting. 
The report of the Intelligence Committee was deferred to be 
brought up on the regular programme in place of a paper, as it 
so happened that there was no prepared paper on the programme 
for the evening. 
Di. Quitman, chairman on the special committee on sub¬ 
scriptions to create a fund for the entertainment of the A. V. 
M. A., should the next meeting be held in Chicago, made a re¬ 
port stating that the committee had $852.50 pledged and that 
there weie still other business men who had not responded, 
among whom were some who would contribute very liberally! 
From present indications he concluded that the results of the 
committee’s efforts were very encouraging. He further men¬ 
tioned that the State Association had made no report and that 
he w as unable to make any statement as to their success. 
Aext under the regular order of business came admission of 
new members. Dr. J. J. Millar’s application, signed by Drs. 
Walker and McKillip, was referred to the Board of Censors, 
who, when called upon, reported unfavorably, stating that from 
the evidence which they had obtained in reference to the ap¬ 
plicant, they could not report otherwise. Dr. Walker, who had 
vouched foi the applicant, mentioned that he was surprised at the 
Board’s report, and would be pleased to know upon what 
grounds the applicant was rejected. Dr. M. H. McKillip, who 
also vouched for Dr. Millar, stated that when he found himself 
m need of an associate, he (Dr. McKillip) had taken particular 
pains to get evidence of his character and as a result of his in- 
y 5 obtained ^ood recommendations from the best 
people (lawyers, business men and ministers) of Sioux City,
