Scientific paper

This meeting was my most memorable because (1) it was the first AAS meeting to be held in Western Canada, (2) it was my first visit to Canada, (3) it was the occasion of the dedication of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory 72-inch telescope to the memory of J. S. Plaskett, in the presence of Mrs. Plaskett, (4) there was a special symposium on emission line stars, which included a lecture by Paul Merrill to celebrate his retirement, and C. S. Beals and J. A. Rottenberg as the other main speakers, (5) Robert McMath gave the first Aitken lecture in memory of the famous double star astronomer, (6) I was elected a member of the AAS by the Council at this meeting, (7) I was already a member of the ASP, and this was my first opportunity to present a paper at an ASP meeting, and I could choose to put my abstract in the P.A.S.P., (8) I met many astronomers there who have been friends ever since, (9) along with many attendees I visited Butchart's Gardens, and (10) there was an excellent banquet at the Empress Hotel.
