AMERICAN ASSOCIATION for the ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, Local Committee for the 1899 meeting. Minutes, 1898. 1 item. Collection 400

This group jointly acted with other organizations to invite the American Association for the Advancement of Science to meet in Philadelphia in 1899. This activity was in answer to a letter from L. O. Howard the Association's secretary hinting at the desirability of having the meeting introducing the second fifty year period at the place of its first meeting, namely the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia. After preliminary plans were made and the invitation extended it was decided to have the meeting in the Middle West.

These minutes were written in the same book with those of the Committee for the 1884 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

In Coll. 301A, Minutes of 1883-84 meeting, written in back of volume.
