Wilbur H. Powers was chosen president of the Fraternal Congress of America at its session at Chicago last August. Upon assuming the chair, after installation, Mr. Powers delivered an able address upon the work and aims of the fraternities and their relations with .each other, and afterwards, during the sessions of the Congress, he read before the Law Section an important paper upon the "Limitation of Actions by the Society and by Statute Law". This paper is an exhaustive treatise of the history and rules upon this subject, and will be especially valuable to the legal advisers of the Societies.
Secretary, Henry W. Stevens, Concord, N. H.
