Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Numismatic and Archaeological Society of New York City, at the Forty-Third Annual Meeting, Monday, March 18th, 1901, and List of Officers and Members: Also Papers Read Before the Society Under the Direction of the Committee on Papers and Publications, 1900-1901 Your Executive Committee takes great pleasure in reporting the continued growth and prosperity of the Society. The active membership roll is larger than ever before; the permanent funds of the Society now amount to as against one year ago. Our Librarian has hard work to find shelf room for the new books received, and the Curator is now negotiating for the purchase of an additional large cabinet, which is rendered necessary by the great increase in the Society's collections. The collection of Insignia of American Military Societies contains a number of specimens of much importance, and, if systematic efforts continue to be made, it will in time grow to be of great interest and value. The School for Die Cutting, suggested by our President in his last annual address, is now in successful operation and has attracted much attention among those who feel an interest in the improvement of medallic art in this country. Much credit is due to the most efficient committee having the matter in charge, and especially to its chairman, Mr. Woodbury G. Langdon. The Society's exhibit at the Paris Exposition has been safely returned. It was most creditable to the Society and received the award of a gold medal.
