EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CONGRESS

Pursuant to the action of the Seventh International Geographic Congress held in Berlin in 1899, the geographers and geographic societies of the United States are considering plans for the ensuing Congress, which is to convene in September, 1904. It is proposed to have the principal scientific sessions in WASHINGTON early in the month, and to have social sessions in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Chicago, with a final session in conjunction with the World’s Congress of Science and Arts in St. Louis. It is provisionally planned also to provide an excursion from St. Louis to Mexico, and thence to points of geographic interest in western United States and Canada.

A Preliminary Announcement is in press and will shortly be issued to officers and members of geographic societies in all countries, and to geographers who may express interest in the Congress and its work. Details have been entrusted to a Committee of Arrangements made up of representatives from geographic societies in all parts of the United States. The officers of the Committee are: Dr. W. J. MoGEe (Vice President National Geographic Society), Chairman; Mr. John Joy Epson (President Washington Loan and Trust Company), Treasurer; and Dr. J. H. McCormicx, Secretary. The Office of the Committee is in Hubbard Memorial Hall, Washington, D.C., U.S. A., where communications may be addressed.
