4A NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 
York land valued at more than two billion dollars, believing it better 
to consider things of immediate welfare. This determination caused 
some dissatisfaction on the part of nonmembers who voiced their 
opinions. The society, which is seeking to cooperate with the state 
departments and with voluntary relief agencies, reelected its officers 
and reappointed its committees. Horton G. Elm, an Oneida, is 
president, and Louis Bruce, a Mohawk, secretary. 
The Archeologist of the Museum has assisted this society to the 
extent of furnishing information and helping its officers, it being 
thought within the scope of this office to encourage the Iroquois who 
remain with us as the survivors of the aboriginal “ Empire State ” 
to adjust themselves to the requirements of modern civilization.
