REPORT OF SECRETARY
October 1, 1928 to April 30, 1929
ON OCTOBEE 1 of last year, I took over the office of Secretary of the Society. The rapid expansion of our membership during the past six months, and the formation of the London Section have brought larger responsibilities and increased work to the Secretary's office.
At a meeting of the Board of Governors on December 3, 1928, the Board recognized that the demands made on the secretary were heavy, and approved the appointment of an assistant to the secretary. Miss Renwick took this position on January 7, 1929, and has been kept very busy since that time. We have eliminated the delays of the first three months and can now report that Society business is receiving prompt attention.
It is, of course, impossible and unnecessary to outline all of the activities of the Secretary, but the following subjects should be of interest to the members.
New Members
The formation of the London Section, and the work of our committee on membership, with Mr. Cowling as a very active Chairman, have added 88 active members, and 76 associate members to our rolls since October 1, 1928. We have had the following losses in membership during the same period.
Deaths — 1.
Resignations — 7.
Dropped from rolls — 5.
Three associate members have transferred to active membership.
The distribution of our membership indicates the wide spread reputation of our Society.
