The following report of Mr. Rotch on library accommoda- 

 tions, read by the Recording Secretary, was accepted and 

 placed on lile. 



Mr. Rotch, Chairman of the Committee appointed at the 

 Special Meeting of June 17, 1903, to confer with a Committee 

 of the Boston Library Association, relative to leasing a portion 

 of its newly acquired house, 114 Newbury Street, for the use of 

 the Academy, reports that this was done in the early summer. 

 The Recording Secretary, Treasurer, Librarian, and the late 

 Assistant Librarian visited the premises and decided that with- 

 out expensive alterations they would not meet the requirements 

 of the Academy, and Mr. Rotch therefore informed the Secre- 

 tary of the Society that the offer was declined. 



The Treasurer is of the opinion that by capitalizing the ren- 

 tal of the present rooms in the Historical Society's building and 

 adding thereto the Building Fund, land might be purchased 

 in the vicinity and a suitable building erected for the use of 

 the Academy. 



Professor Goodwin, after expressing his appreciation of the 

 honor conferred upon him by being chosen President of the 

 Academy, proceeded to give some interesting reminiscences 

 of meetings of the Academy which he attended thirty years 



ago. 



He then gave the communication of the evening, "A Visit to 

 the Palace of Minos at Gnossos in Crete."
