bers  of  the  Association  during  the  intervals  of  the  sessions — and  herewith 
present  a  printed  programme  of  the  same — all  of  which  they  believe  was 
acceptable  to  the  members  of  the  Association. 
A  Guide  Book  of  the  City  of  Philadelphia  was  compiled  by  Prof. 
Parrish,  and  neatly  printed,  Covering  64  pages  •  a  copy  of  the  book  was 
presented  to  each  stranger  present  at  the  meeting. 
At  the  conversazione  held  in  the  College  Hall  on  the  evening  of  the 
eighth,  the  Committee  thought  proper  to  present  publicly  to  the  Chair- 
man of  the  Building  Committee,  Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  a  testimonial  eviden- 
cing the  appreciation  of  the  members  of  the  College  of  his  zeal  and  inde- 
fatigable exertions  in  having  the  building  sufficiently  advanced  for  the 
meeting  of  the  Association.  The  presentation  was  made  in  behalf  of  the 
members  of  the  College  by  our  first  Vice-President,  Dillwyn  Parrish. 
Your  Committee  added  to  their  number  their  fellow  member  Wm.  C. 
Bakes,  and  to  his  happy  conception,  well  schooled  taste  in  arrangement, 
and  untiring  energy  they  attribute  the  major  part  of  the  success  which  has 
attended  the  arrangements.  The  amount  of  actual  labor  performed  by 
Mr.  Bakes  is  perhaps  only  appreciated  by  your  Committee,  and  they  can 
not  refrain  from  expressing  their  sense  of  services  so  cheerfully  given. 
In  conclusion,  your  Committee  return  thanks  to  all  the  contributors  to 
the  fund,  which  has  enabled  them  to  meet  the  expenses  attending  the  re- 
ception and  entertainment  of  their  guests.
