third meeting in beth lehem of the institute it is to me a peculiarly pleasant duty to represent your host the university as it gives me the op portunity to renew many pleasant friendships formed during the meetings and excursions of the in stitute in its early history when it was my privilege to be present at most of the meetings and to hold the position of manager from 1877 to 1880 i am naturally very proud of the fact that my name is on the roll of the twenty-two mining engineers who met in mr rothwell's office at wilkes-barre on may 16 1871 at the call of messrs eckley b coxe richard p rothwell and martin coryell and founded this ameri can institute of mining engineers i was at that time a senior student in the scbooil of mines of lehigh university mr rothwell was the professor or demonstrator as he was called of mining engineering coming here periodically from his mining office at wilkes-barre to lecture and to supervise the work of the students in the mining course and he was so good as to read my graduating thesis on the mines and works of the lehigh zinc company as a paper at our next meeting held in bethlehem in august 1871 so you see my membership dating back to ante diluvian days is a birth-right mem bership in the institute and i am entitled to greet you in the bonds of fraternal communion as one of the body-elect it would seem highly fitting that this great association of engineers now embracing thou sands of members located in all parts of the world should hold a session at an educational institution like lehigh so largely devoted to technical education your pres ence is an inspiration to the faculty and students and on our part we are glad to show you what we are doing and hope to do in the future tc supply your profession with young men to carry on your work i think i can assure you of a pleasant programme for our com ing session the local committee have been sitting up o nights to devise a programme that would be satisfactory to you and the com panies whose works we will visit on friday and saturday have been continued on second page at the last meeting of the runts club jimmie anders and rube waddill were
