Report of the Committee on Election of Fellows. 



The following report of the Committee on Election of 

 Fellows was accepted and ordered filed. 



May 14, 1920. 

 To the Ohio Academy of Science: 



The Constitution, as amended in 1919, delegates the election of 

 fellows to a joint committee consisting of the Vice-Presidents and the 

 Executive Committee. Nine of the eleven votes are necessary to an 

 election. 



Much of the work of the joint committee has been done by cor- 

 respondence; but a meeting held this morning gave opportunity for 

 free discussion. Seven members of the committee were present at this 

 meeting ; the other four were represented by more or less fully instructed 

 proxies. The entire mode of procedure has been as follows: 



As only fellows are to be eligible to office and to membership in the 

 Executive Committee, it was agreed that all past and present Officers 

 and Executive Committee members should become fellows. These 

 ntunber fifty-six. 



Membership lists were then mailed to all members of the Committee, 

 to be checked as ballots and returned to the Secretar}^ for tabulation. 

 Ten of the eleven members of the Committee voted. No member of 

 the Academy received the necessary nine ballots, although two lacked 

 but one vote each. The names of members receiving any votes were 

 then mailed to the Committee members to serve as a list of nominations 

 for consideration at this morning's meeting. 



From this hst fifty-eight fellows were elected, making the total 

 number one hundred and fourteen. The fellows will be designated by 

 some distinguishing mark in the next list of members published. 



Your committee believe that their work has been conserv^ative. 

 They have endeavored to guard against the election of any undesirable 

 fellows; desirable candidates have undoubtedly been omitted. Such 

 errors can be easily rectified by succeeding committees. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary, 

 For the Committee.
