Report of the Executive Committee. 



The report of the Executive Committee was received as 

 follows and ordered filed. 



Delaware, Ohio, April 21, I'JKi. 



Since the last Annual Meeting of the Academy two joint meetings 

 of the Executive Committee and Publication Committee have been 

 called— December 28, 1915, and April 21, 191(i. 



At the first meeting it was decided to hold the Annual Meeting of 

 the Academy for 1916 in Columbus on April 21 and 22, in affiliation 

 with the meeting of the Ohio College Association. The details of 

 co-operation were left to the Program Committee for adjustment. 



Owing to scanty attendance at this meeting, the consideration of 

 the publication of the addresses presented at the Anniversary Meeting 

 (referred by the Academy to the joint committees) was deferred. At 

 the meeting of April 21 it was decided, after discussion, that the finan- 

 cial condition of the Academy will permit the publication of all the 

 addresses in the Report of the Anniversary Meeting, and the Publication 

 Committee was instructed to proceed with the publication. 



vSince the last Annual Meeting two applications for membership 

 have been approved by the Executive Committee. These names will 

 be presented to the Academy later for ratification. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary.
