April 22 - 24 - 1913 Washington Attending the Annual Meetings of the National Academy. The Semi-Centennial Meetings. This time a rather social affair than a gathering listening to a lethargic man of scientific jokes! Of Yale were elected to the Academy were Professors Pierson, Harrison and Mendel. It was the year of Presidential Election. First a preferential roll was taken and about a dozen names were nominated. Osborne and Cattel had got one vote; a rather sad affair for Osborne. Wilson of New York got 9 while Hale of Baltimore and Halbert were the leaders. Wilson with Drew and so the vote was on the leaders. Select or no Halbert
