At the assembling of the convention at 10.30 A. m. Thurs¬ 
day, the room was well filled with members and visitors. 
The reports of the Executive Committee at its sessions of 
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning were taken up 
and its recommendations were acted upon as follows : 
The application for membership of Dr. A. W. Hartwig, of 
Watertown, Wis., was rejected on the ground that his college 
term had not fulfilled the requirements of the association. 
A number of other applications were considered, all being 
elected and their names will be found among the long list 
printed elsewhere. 
The resignation of Prof. A. Liautard was received, together 
with a letter embodying his reasons for tendering it. It was 
accepted, the rules were suspended and he was unanimously 
elected an honorary member. 
The proposed amendment to the constitution and by-laws, 
which contemplated lowering the requirements for admission 
into the association, brought forth considerable discussion, and 
was defeated without a friend to mourn its end. 
An appropriation of $250 was voted to the Committee on 
Army Legislation, and a resolution governing the expendi¬ 
tures of the Resident State Secretaries was passed ; while the 
Secretary had his salary raised to $300 per year. 
THOSE WHO WERE THERE. 
The following list of those in attendance is probably not 
complete, but represents those who registered at the entrance 
to the hall. For instance, we met a number of gentlemen 
whose names do not appear in the official list.
