"  The  prize  of  $20.00  for  the  best  paper  read  at  the  previous 
meeting  was  awarded  to  Dr.  F.  E.  Stewart,  for  his  paper  entitled 
'  The  Copyright,  Patent,  and  Trade-Mark  Question.'  A  touching 
memorial  session  was  held  for  the  late  Mahlon  N.  Kline.  Several  of 
the  members  voiced  their  high  esteem  of  his  character. 
"  Affiliation  with  the  N.  A.  R.  D.  was  maintained,  but  the  appro- 
priation was  cut  down  in  amount. 
"  The  social  features  were,  as  usual,  of  a  very  enjoyable 
character. 
"  The  only  criticism  which  can  be  fairly  made  was  the  lack  of 
sufficient  time  given  to  the  reading  of  papers  and  queries.  Quite  a 
number  of  papers  were  read  by  title.  The  discussions  on  those  read 
were  very  interesting  and  profitable.  Professor  Charles  H.  La  Wall 
was  elected  President  for  the  ensuing  year.  The  next  meeting  will 
be  held  at  Bedford  Springs,  June  20-22,  191 1." 
ABSTRACTS  FROM  THE  MINUTES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES. 
June  15. — Fifteen  members  present. 
The  Committee  on  Accounts  and  Audit  reported  that  they  had 
examined  the  accounts  of  the  Treasurer,  Registrar,  and  Committee 
on  Publication  and  found  them  correct. 
The  Committee  on  Instruction  presented  a  supplemental  report 
recommending  the  appointment  of  Messrs.  Cliffe,  Remington,  and 
Kraemer  as  a  Subcommittee  on  Athletics.  The  Committee  also 
reported  that  Professor  Moerk  had  divided  the  third  year  class  into 
two  sections,  arranging  them  alphabetically,  which  would  prevent 
considerable  annoyance.  Owing  to  increasing  work  in  the  Chemical 
Laboratory,  additional  assistance  was  arranged  for;  and  it  was 
recommended  that  a  Department  of  Physical  Culture  be  organized 
with  William  Schleif,  Ph.G.,  M.D.,  as  medical  examiner  and  W. 
Ward  Beam  as  instructor.  The  recommendations  of  the  Committee 
were  approved. 
The  Wiegand  Scholarship  Fund  was  reported  to  be  available,  and 
that  one  student  would  be  named  for  the  session  of  1910-11. 
The  Committee  on  Announcement  reported  that  Bulletin  No.  4, 
Vol.  2,  was  in  the  hands  of  the  printer  and  would  be  issued  early  in 
July.  The  Committee  asked  the  opinion  of  the  Board  as  to  the 
advisability  of  issuing  an  edition  of  the  Bulletin  in  Spanish.  The 
suggestion  was  received  with  favor,  and  the  Committee  was  author- 
ized to  prepare  a  Spanish  edition.
