teresting one.
Features of the secretary's report are
as follows:
The secretary has to report this yeal
more activity than usual in interstate
and international medical matters. Re-
ciprocity between the examining boards
of the various states the repeated eff
forts to overcome the influence of the
anti-vivesectionists, the pure food and
drug law, the arrangements made Tor
the participation of Americans in the
International Medical congress at Par
is, have all occupied more or less, the
attention and time of the secretary. The
subject of reciprocity was spoken of by
cur presidents in their addresses to the
fellows of the last two years. Announce
| ment of the thirteenth international
congress is made upon the programmes
of this meeting. One society has been
represented before the committee of

To the students of medical education
the statistics Of those colleges are in
teresting. Certain institutions seem
to be selected until fewer separate col
leges are represented by the young men
entering our society every year Yale
leads, as usual but by a very close mar
gin, seven of her graduates being among
the number. The College of Physicians
and Surg ons New York, is a very close
second, having six. The University of
Vermont is the third with four gradu-
ates, Jefferson three, the University of
New York two, while seven colleges, two
of them outside of the United States,
have but one each. We notice, too, the
coming among us of those who are of
what used to be called the gentler sex
increasing quite largely the women
practitioners Of the state.

The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention last year as an outgrowth of the
report of the committee on matters of
professional interest in the state have
been favorably acted upon by some of
the county associations with the idea
that this society will make a move be-
fore the Legislature at it's next session
to secure support for those among the
masses who are afflicted with tubercu-
losis. A change to the bylaws propos-
ed last year will come up for action at
this time, to amend chapter III, section
2, by adding the words assistant sec
after the word secretary" so
that it shall read THE president, vice
treasurer, secretary, assist
ant secretary" ETC.. the object being to
make the assistant secretary, who is an
officer of the society, also a fellow No
provision was made for this when the
office Of assistant secretary was created
at the revision Of the bylaws in 1892
