that persons after handing in their
names are in no way bound to join
the organization, or to in any way
obligate themselves.
It is hoped that every person who
believes in this proposed addition to
our facilities for pleasant associa
tions and delightful exercise will
hand his name to Professor Shattuck
at once, and will attend the pre
liminary meeting irrespective of
whether his conditions will later
justify him in joining the organized
association.
Mr. J. E, Quigley, a trustee of
our college and an active alumnus,
has agreed to act with other mem
bers of the alumni association, and
to take this matter up with the alum
ni in much the same manner as the
proposed movement is being started
here.

THE STATE COLLEGIAN
A High Honor for Dr. Armsby.
In connection with the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition at
Chicago, there was held on
November 28, a meeting of those
college and experiment station work
ers more especially interested in in

thirty were present, representing
Experiment Stations trom Massa
chusetts to California and from
Minnesota to Alabama. The meet
ing grew out of a conference of in
vestigators in this subject, held at
Cornell University last summer dur
ing the Graduate Summer School of
Agriculture, and resulted in the
formation of the American Society
of Animal Nutrition. Dr. H. P.
Armsby, director of the Institute of
Animal Nutrition in connection with
the college was chosen. president.
The objects of the society, as
stated in the constitution which was
adopted, are to improve the quality
of investigation in animal nutrition,
to pi omote more systematic and
better correlated study of feeding
problems, and facilitate personal in
tercourse between investigators in
this field. In addition to holding an
annual meeting, the society proposes
to take up actively the consideration
of methods of investigation and later
to enter upon cooperative study of
important problems of stock feeding.
To this end, a standing committee
on experiments and two special
committees on methods were pro
vided for. The committee appoint
ed at the Cornell conference pre
sented a full report outlining the
work to be undertaken.
'The officers of the new Society
are: president, H. P. Armsby of
Pennsylvania; vice president, C. F.
Curtiss of Iowa; secretary-treasurer,
D. H. Otis of Wisconsin; registrar,
J. T. Willard of Kansas.
