A. Schaeffer, M. Y. Schaeffer, John A. Sloan and Joseph Thac’ka- 
berry. Said applicants were found to be eligible to member¬ 
ship, and satisfactory to the association. 
It was then moved by Dr. Forbes that the rules of the asso¬ 
ciation be suspended and that the Secretary be instructed to 
cast the vote of the association for the above named gentlemen, 
which was duly seconded, and carried. 
Next in order was the reading of the report of the Secretary. 
It was moved and seconded that the report of the Secretary be 
received as read and placed on file. Motion carried. 
t The Secretary then read the resignations of Drs. W. A. Heck, 
W. P. Steddom and "W. P. McCurdy. It was moved by Dr. 
Forbes that the resignations be accepted, and in the case of Dr. 
Heck he suggested that as he had proven an efficient member 
and able officer of the association while acting in the capacity 
of Secretary, it would be a grateful act on the part of the asso¬ 
ciation to elect him an honorary member. 
ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 
The next business was the election of officers— nominations 
first in order for the office of President. 
Dr. Forbes : Seeing that the association has been so flourish¬ 
ing during the past year under the present executive, I think 
another term desirable, and I propose the name of Dr. Bennett 
for re-election for another year. 
Dr. Bennett: I appreciate the courtesy, gentlemen, of re¬ 
electing me as President for another term, but I do not think 
the flourishing condition Js due in any manner to my efforts, 
but to those of the Secretary. What we want is a hustling 
Secretary, and I think I can do more for the association as a 
private member and not as President, and I prefer not to serve 
another year. 
Dr. Stewart: I propose the name of Dr. Forbes, who has 
been an active member of the association.
