T MHE American Geographical Society is the oldest geographical society in the United States. Its objectives since the foundation in i852 are to collect and disseminate geographical information by discussion, lectures, and publica-
tions; to establish in the chief city of the United States a place where may be ob- tained accurate information on every part of the globe; and to encourage such exploring expeditions as seem likely to result in valuable discoveries in geography and the related sciences.
The Society publishes the Geographical Review, a quarterly magazine issued in January, April, July, and October, and a series of Special and Research Ptublications of comprehensive scope. The library is one of the largest geographical libraries of the world; in addition to the usual functions it maintains a Research Catalogue and issues the periodical Current Geographical Publications. Besides its modern cartographical material the Society possesses a valuable collection of atlases of the sixteenth, seven- teenth, and eighteenth centuries. Travelers, men of science, and others properly accredited are welcome at the rooms ofthe Society and may freely use the collections.
Four gold medals are awarded by the Society: the Cullum Geographical Medal, the Charles P. Daly Medal, the Samuel Finley Breese Morse Medal, and the David Livingstone Centenary Medal (founded by the Hispanic Society of America).
The Society has also for many years promoted studies relating to questions of wide public interest; for example, settlement in the pioneer belts of the world, the problem of the white man in the tropics, the bearing of geography on international relations, the historical geography of the United States, polar exploration and geo- graphy. The Society is also engaged in the development of new techniques and instruments designed to increase the efficiency and reduce the costs of surveying and mapping; and it has long been at work on a great standard map of the Americas from the Mexico-United States border to Cape Horn. This map, in I07 sheets, which is now completed and under revision, is a project of direct utility to scientists, businessmen, and government officials concerned with Latin America.
The qualifications for Fellowship in the Society are an interest in exploration and travel, in the spread of geographical knowledge, and in the advancement of science. A Fellow is entitled to the use of the library, reading, and map rooms; to admission to all lectures and exhibitions; to the Geographical Review; and to occasional books and maps distributed by the Society.
Annual Fellowship dues, $Io.oo; Sustaining Fellowship dues, $25.00 per year; Life Fellowship, $200.00; Patron, $i,ooo.oo; Benefactor, $s,ooo.oo.
