Gannett Was elected president. Of the ten incorporators, Dr. Gannett was the last survivor. The Cosmos Club was a scion of the Philosophical Society, well remembered by our elder scientists as their only point of personal contact. It has been seen that national geography was in its infancy when Dr. Gannett first began its study in 1871. The American Geographical Society, organized in New York in 1852, had done much important work from the beginning, as it continues to do. Dr. Gannett was long a...n associate editor of its Quarterly Bulletin. In the meanwhile there had been gathered in Washington the body of young men, some of whom I have named, intensely interested in the subject, who realized the need of closer co-operation among themselves and a common center for their activities. In response to the call of Gardiner G. Hubbard, General A. W. Greely, J. R. Bartlett, Henry Mitchell, Professor A. H. Thompson, and Henry Gannett, thirty-three scientists met at the Cosmos Club on Janu- ary 13, 1888, and organized the National Geographic Society.
