 Professor E. L. Rice, Secretary Ohio Academy of Science,

 Dear Professor Rice: — At the last meeting of the Ohio State University 

 Scientific Society it was unanimously voted that the Ohio Academy of Science 

 be requested to name "a representative of each section of science represented in 

 the Academy (Zoology, Botany, Geology, Physics), to serve on the Editorial 

 Board of the Ohio Journal of Science," such representatives (four in all) not to be 

 members of the Ohio State University Scientific Society. 



Will you be so kind as to notify such officers of the Academy as should receive 

 this announcement. 



Sincerely yours, 



R. J. Seymour, Secretary. 



Owing to the near approach of the annual meeting, no formal 

 action was taken by the Committee, but the appointment of rep- 

 resentatives was left to the Academy as a whole. 



In November, 1916, the Executive Committee decided by corre- 

 spondence to join with other organizations in extending an invitation to 

 the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers to meet 

 in Columbus next Thanksgiving. The following letter from the Pres- 

 ident of that Association should be presented to the Academy : 



Columbus, March 21, 1917. 

 E. L. Rice, Secretary, The Ohio Academy of Science, Delaware, Ohio: 



My Dear Mr. Rice:— You will recall that your organization joined with a 

 number of other organizations of the state in extending to the Central Association 

 of Science and Mathematics Teachers an invitation to hold the next meeting in 

 Columbus. The Central Association will meet in Columbus, November 30 and 

 December 1, 1917. I take this means of suggesting to you that the Association 

 will deeply appreciate any co-operation you may find it possible to give. 



There' will be a general meeting on Friday morning to which all are invited 

 and at which a Science address will be made in addition to a general educational 

 address. On Friday afternoon the sectional meetings will be held. On Friday 

 evening there will be a banquet followed by detailed reports of plans for science 

 and mathematics work in "The High School of To-morrow." On Saturday 

 morning the general business meeting is held, followed by excursions to various 

 places of interest in or near Columbus. 



The Association invites you to be present and to take part in any and all of 

 these meetings. The inspiration of this large body of teachers should be of great 

 benefit to every similar organization in the state. Let us make this the biggest 

 Science and Mathematics meeting ever held in Ohio. 



Plan now to be present at the November meeting. 



Yours very truly, 



Marie Gugle, President. 



This invitation has been acknowledged l^y the Secretary. 



A single application for membership has been approved by the 

 Executive Committee, and will be presented later for the ratification of 

 the Academy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, 



Sec y for Committee.
