Abstract

ST. LOUIS, Missouri, welcomed the American Association for its ninety-seventh meeting at the close of 1935, and the occasion drew together more than three thousand members from its own ranks and from affiliated societies for a series of addresses, meetings and conferences that extended from December 26 until January 4. The local committee, headed by Dr. George T. Moore, director of the famous Missouri Botanical Garden, had made provision for numerous sessions in the new Municipal Auditorium and on the campuses of Washington University, St. Louis University and of their medical schools. The Engineers' Club provided for the meeting of the Section on Engineering, and some societies used hotel meeting rooms an indication of the number of separate sessions.
