It must well have been one of the most remarkable scientific meetings ever held. The main objects of the Congress like those of the first held in Honolulu in 1920 and of the second held in Australia in 1923 were 1 to initiate and promote co-operation in the study of scientific problems relating to the Pacific region more especially those affecting the prosperity and well-being of the Pacific peoples and 2 to promote a feeling of brotherhood and to strengthen the bonds of peace among Pacific peoples. It was laid down that all branches of physical and biological science formed proper subjects for discussion provided that they bore upon some Pacific problem."<br/><br/>OCLC Worldcat notes two copies of this pamphlet and two other variations.

The piece about the Grabhorns by Carroll T. Harris note the Grabhorn's desire to print a "masterpiece" 4 years before their 1930s Leaves of Grass.
