A Summary of the Minutes of the Forty-Ninth Business Meeting of the American Society of Animal Production

The meeting was called to order in the George Bernard Shaw Room of the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, Illinois, on November 30, 1957, at 3 p.m. by President J. C. Miller. The minutes of the 1956 Business Meeting were not read but were approved as published in the Journal of Animal Science, Vol. 16, No. 1, pp. 249-260.

The report of the Secretary, H. H. Stonaker, was as follows:

"Membership in the American Society of Animal Production increased to 1,697 in 1957. There were 103 new members with a net increase of 86 in total membership. The membership is international in nature with the following distributions: U.S.A. and Canada, 1646; other countries, 51. Through financial assistance and encouragement from the International Cooperation Administration, reduced rates are being offered a number of animal scientists in foreign countries. This should serve to increase foreign membership. The Membership Committee and the Membership at large are to be congratulated and encouraged for their important contribution to the Society.
