John Miller was president, and there were twenty-one in the club. Various scientific problems were discussed by the club and a few experiments were performed. Detailed reports upon numerous scientific problems and leaders were given by members or groups of members. These reports were somewhat of a success, but the club as an enterprise was not as successful as it would have been had more of the members been really interested in science. -William Overly
