part in this programme, with the subjects yet unannounced.” 
Among those likely to take part in the clinics- are : Drs. W. 
L. Williams, Charles E. Clayton, Robert W. Ellis, H. D. Gill, 
Charles Cowie, E. B. Ackerman, George H. Berns, C. E. Shaw, 
C. R. Perkins, G. T. Stone and B. A. Gallagher. 
The Ithacans ask that the guests be turned over to them from 
about 6.30 p.m. of the first day to be at their mercy until 11 p.m., 
and while we cannot guess what is in store for the visitors there 
can be little doubt but that they will be pleasantly entertained. 
The ladies of Ithaca will see that visiting ladies are comfort¬ 
ably taken care of, and there will be plenty to keep them from 
becoming lonesome. 
For those who desire, student rooms can be secured within 
five minutes’ walk of the convention room, and meals can be 
obtained on the European plan, thus making the sojourn very 
inexpensive. 
It is desired to call the convention to order promptly at 9 
a.m. on the first day. Visitors from New York City and adja¬ 
cent territory could leave on Tuesday evening at 9.30 to 10 via 
the Lehigh Valley or the D., L. & W. road, arriving at Ithaca 
at about 7 a.m., Wednesday. Those from Albany could get 
the same train at Binghamton, and those in the district between 
Albany and Buffalo on the New York Central could go by two- 
or three routes, arriving in Ithaca from 8.40 to 9.30 a.m., 
while Buffalonians can leave at 6 on the previous evening and 
arrive at 10 p.m.
