The American Association at Toronto

Abstract

THE second Toronto meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the associated scientific societies, which was held during the last week of 1921, at the invitation of the University of Toronto and of the Royal Canadian Institute, was the seventy-fourth meeting of the association. It was successful in every way, and must go on record as the most satisfactory meeting thus far held, apart from the greater four-yearly meetings. Fourteen sections of the association were represented and twenty-six associated societies. About nine hundred addresses and papers were presented, and the official registration showed an attendance of 1832 persons. The sessions were held in the buildings of the University, which are excellently adapted for such purposes, while the majority of those in attendance were very conveniently housed in the University dormitories. These arrangements proved to be unusually convenient and satisfactory.
