had
the pleasure of listening to Mr. William H. Zerbe, Mr. Richard M. Coit,
Mr. Ira W. Martin, Mr. Pirie MacDonald, Mr. Edward Penfield, Mr. Fred Dana
Marsh and Mr. Alexander P. Milne. Interest in the monthly print contests
held at these meetings has been maintained and the value of the feature
demonstrated by the gain in number and quality of the entries. We hope
during the succeeding year to keep the monthly prints upon exhibition
until the following meeting, believing that this measure will both
stimulate those who show and benefit those who look.
As a part of the general exhibition of all the conjoined Societies
throughout the opening month of the Art Center (November, 1921) we
presented a collection of one hundred and sixty-two prints from our own
membership, filling one of the large galleries upon the ground floor.
This Exhibition, representing all parts of the country, was exceedingly
well received and, under the charge of the American Federation of Arts,
was afterwards shown in Corvallis, Oregon; Emporia, Kansas; College
Station, Texas; and Greeley, Colorado.
During the past summer we have shown at the Art Center a collection of
fifty prints from the Copenhagen Photographic Amateur Club. We have thus
enjoyed the double privilege of in some measure returning the courtesy of
the Copenhagen Club, who invited us to cooperate in their Twenty-fifth
Anniversary Exhibition, and of seeing and showing representative and
distinguished work from the members of this Club.
A periodical Bulletin of the meetings, activities and news of the Society,
long contemplated, has been established, which through the ensuing year we
expect to issue monthly in the shape of an eight-page miniature magazine.
The Art Center has also undertaken the issue of a monthly Bulletin of the
conjoined Societies, in which we shall have our proportionate share.
In conjunction with the _Shadowland Magazine_ we have begun a series of
monthly print contests, in which the magazine offers to the winners not
only valuable prizes but expert reproduction and wide publicity. Though
not many months in operation, entries and awards have been encouraging and
interest has been aroused abroad, even so far as China, as well as at
home.
We have become affiliated with _The Club Photographer_ of Great Britain,
contributing the articles and illustrations of the issue for April, 1922,
and have been invited to supply such material in the future for one number
