This volume compiles the transactions of the American Social Science Association, detailing its governance, membership, and the substance of its annual meetings. Rich in historical context, it presents the formal Constitution and By-Laws, lists of officers and members, and notes on how the organization operates across its five departments.

The content frames the scope and aims of the association, including Education and Art, Health, Trade and Finance, Social Economy, and Jurisprudence. It also documents organizational practices, publication decisions for the Journal, and procedures for elections, memberships, and meetings. The volume captures the 1904 business sessions in Boston, the use of university facilities, and the decision to defer routine business to a fall General Council meeting.

The foundational rules: Constitution and By-Laws, department structure, and council powers.
Membership details: how to become a member or a life member, and reporting of officers and directors.
Proceedings and governance: how general and department meetings are called, and Journal publication practices.
Departmental content: reports and proceedings from Social Economy and related fields, plus contemporary discussions about reform, arbitration, and economic policy.
Contextual material: notes about notable figures, affiliations, and the organization’s role in advancing education, health, industry, and social welfare.

Ideal for readers of social science history, institutional governance, and researchers tracing early 20th‑century reform movements and scholarly networks.
