Excerpt from Technology Quarterly and Proceedings of the Society of Arts, 1895, Vol. 8

The Society of Arts, established in conformity with the plan of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as set forth in the act of incorporation, held its first meeting on April 8, 1862.

The objects of the Society are to awaken and maintain an active interest in the sciences and their practical applications, and to aid generally in their advancement in connection with arts, agriculture, manufactures, and commerce. Regular meetings are held semi-monthly from October to May.

The Society discontinued the publication of the Abstracts of Proceedings in 1891, and since then has published its proceedings and the principal papers read at its meetings in the Technology Quarterly. The present volume contains the proceedings from January to December, 1895, inclusive.

The Quarterly contains, also, the results of scientific investigations carried on at the Institute, and other papers of interest to its graduates and friends.

Neither the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nor the Society of Arts assumes any responsibility for the opinions or statements in the papers.
