Nov., 1920] Report, Ohio Academy of Science 5 



Association. It is hoped that the aflfiliation may lead to an increase in 

 the membership of both societies and to a mutually beneficial 

 co-operation. The essentials of the plan are as follows: 



1. All arrangements for the affiliation must be completed within 

 the first six months of 1920. 



2. The Treasurer of the Ohio Academy is authorized to collect 

 the joint dues from members of the two organizations and to transmit 

 the proper share to the Treasurer of the A. A. A. S. 



3. By action of the last Annual Meeting, the annual dues of the 

 Ohio Academy of Science are now two dollars; those of the A. A. A. S. 

 are five dollars. The joint dues for members of both societies are six 

 dollars, of which four dollars go to the A. A. A. S. and two dollars to the 

 Ohio Academy. 



4. Members of the Ohio Academy who are not members of the 

 A. A. A. S. may become such without the payment of the usual 

 initiation fee of five dollars. 



5. Members of the Academy who do not become members of the 

 A. A. A. S. continue to pay only the dues of the Ohio Academy. 



6. All members of the Ohio Academy who have already paid the 

 five dollar 1920 dues in the A. A. A. S. may obtain a rebate of one 

 dollar from the Treasurer of the Ohio Academy upon application 

 accompanied by proper receipt. 



No further steps have been taken in connection with the proposed 

 affiliation with the Ohio Association of Technical Societies. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary, 

 For the Committee. 



Report of the Publication Committee. 



The following report of the Publication Committee was 

 received and ordered filed. The recommendations embodied 

 in the report were approved by the Academy. 



The only pubhcation issued during the year was the Annual Report 

 of the Twenty-ninth Meeting (Pror. Ohio Acad. Sci., Vol. VII, Part 4, 

 pp. 87-116.) The Secretary's report was printed in the November num- 

 ber of the Ohio Journal of Science. It is recommended that this 

 become the regular procedure which will insure publication the same 

 year as the annual meeting and make it possible for the members to 

 have the report before the annual dues for the following year are 

 collected. The committee believes that the Academy should continue 

 the publication of special reports from time to time, as in the past. In 

 this way the standing of the Academy outside of the state would be 

 advanced. 



Respectfully submitted, 



John H. Schaffner, Chairman.
