would get the Prize. As if went to a young man Professor Muller of the Univ. of Texas, he is an entomologist having gotten his Seretics from the "Great" Majors of Columbia Univ. Then for the internal politics of the Association preferred that the Prize go to some other Section than Mathematics or Physics. Undoubtedly the most striking paper was by Darisson in Physics, and while the two papers had had their own merits, it was evident that the true eligists had the choice in their own hands, and they deliberately took it. However justice cannot be had in his Com. constituted as it is, and on con- ditions so liberal by the donor that any set of men can carry out their own minds. But until the sections are purged into their true sections, and other reforms instituted, only this Prize bring out what the donor of the money hopes for = stimulation of research along highest lines. The Com. finally sub- mitted some suggestions how the rulings may be re- formed. The afternoon meeting adjourned at 6.30 to meet again in Prof. Quaries room at 9.30 P.M. I left at 11 P.M. when the Prize had been awarded.
