Excerpt from Bulletin of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, Vol. 3: Annual Reports for the Year 1912, Winter and Spring Announcements I very much regret that my physician's instructions prevent me from joining you in the annual meeting tonight. I am sure it would be an unusual pleasure to listen to the reports which the active officers of the Academy will make to you relative to the progress of the year. That these will be the most gratifying in the recent history of the Academy, if not in its whole history, I need not predict. They will show specific advances whose importance cannot at once be fully appreciated. I felicitate the Academy on this early fruitage of the recent reorganization, and join with you in the sincere hope and belief that it is but the first fruits of a larger harvest, and the beginning of a long era of prosperity.
