...Robert T. Hance, of the University of Pennsylvania, told of an improved technique for studying the chromosomes of chicks. All of the hereditary characteristics of animals are transmitted to their offspring through tiny bodies called chromosomes in the two microscopic germ-cells contributed, one by each parent. Research on chromosomes has become very exact; they can be counted, and their various divisions, pairings and combinations recorded...

Mr. Geer has been asked to deliver a report on "The Longevity of Athletes", a subject of which he has made a special study. The society will also discuss the question of "Fool Rules," a study of unnecessary and undesirable athletic rules. Dr. J. Moore Soniat of New Orleans will make the principal address on this subject...
