Treasurer. 



The President appointed Mr. Tilson and Mr. Garretson Committee on 

 Finance. 



Mr. Stevens reported on President's address. 



Moved and carried that the report of committee be concurred in. 



Professor Troop: Would it not be well at this time to fix a time for 

 our annual meeting? A few years ago we thought it would be a good

 in January and December and at different times seems to unsettle us,

 the Executive Committee a year ago. I am told they met and decided to

 —first Wednesday after first Monday in Januar}\ 



Mr. Hobbs: You remember we made this change when we made an 

 effort to accommodate members on lower rates in getting to city. We
