ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
MR. RANDALL: In view of the President's
statement de-
clining election to the presidency for
another term, and as we
wish to retain him in the capacity of
counsellor, I move that Dr.
Wright be elected President Emeritus of
this Society. The mo-
tion was seconded and unanimously
carried.
DR. WRIGHT: I thank you very much for
this honor.
Mr. Ryan nominated Hon. James E.
Campbell for the posi-
tion of President. The election was made
unanimous.
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL: I haven't anything to
say, except
that I am perfectly aware that I have
not anything like the ex-
perience or knowledge of archaeology and
local history that my
predecessor has, but I will try to
imitate him. I'll try to be a
near-president, as it were. I thank you
for the compliment, and
assure you I will draw my
"salary" with commendable prompt-
ness!
The remaining officers elected were:
George F. Bareis First Vice President.
Daniel J. Ryan Second Vice President.
