The committee further recommended that former president,

 elected to life membership in the Academy in view of their 

 great services to the Academy during their term of office. This 

 recommendation was unanimously adopted. 



The report of the librarian was then read. As this report 

 contained the statement that the present librarian deemed it 

 his duty to resign in order that the work could be put into the 

 hands of some one better versed in library matters and the li- 

 brary properly cared for, the report was referred to the Council 

 of the Academy with the request that they formulate some mo- 

 tion upon the subject in time to be acted upon at the afternoon 

 session.

 Council were severally adopted :
