  President 
  IMorris 
  : 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  matter 
  for 
  consideration. 
  Is 
  there 
  any 
  

   further 
  discussion 
  on 
  this 
  point 
  ? 
  

  

  Doctor 
  Deming: 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  question 
  of 
  the 
  selection 
  

   of 
  the 
  meeting 
  place 
  is 
  a 
  matter 
  for 
  very 
  deliberate 
  consideration, 
  and 
  

   it 
  isn't 
  always 
  that 
  a 
  question 
  of 
  this 
  kind 
  will 
  get 
  deliberate 
  considera- 
  

   tion 
  in 
  a 
  meeting 
  which 
  acts 
  very 
  often 
  without 
  considering 
  all 
  sides 
  of 
  

   the 
  question. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  that, 
  while 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  advisable 
  to 
  have 
  

   the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  meeting 
  discussed 
  by 
  the 
  Association 
  as 
  a 
  whole, 
  

   the 
  decision 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  meeting 
  might 
  very 
  safely 
  be 
  left 
  to 
  the 
  

   Executive 
  Committee. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  : 
  I 
  think, 
  as 
  a 
  general 
  rule, 
  it 
  is 
  pretty 
  wise 
  to 
  give 
  

   some 
  latitude 
  in 
  these 
  matters, 
  for 
  the 
  reason 
  that 
  conditions 
  may 
  

   develop 
  from 
  time 
  to 
  time 
  which 
  make 
  it 
  desirabile 
  to 
  have 
  some 
  flexi- 
  

   bility 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  meeting. 
  I 
  think, 
  especially 
  with 
  the 
  able 
  Ex- 
  

   ecutive 
  Committee 
  we 
  now 
  have, 
  it 
  could 
  safely 
  be 
  left 
  to 
  the 
  Executive 
  

   Committee. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Craig: 
  Since 
  Professor 
  Lake 
  has 
  spoken, 
  I 
  have 
  a 
  good 
  

   deal 
  of 
  sympathy 
  with 
  his 
  attitude, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  rather 
  inclined 
  to 
  think 
  

   it 
  would 
  be 
  wise 
  to 
  modify 
  that 
  clause 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  way 
  as 
  to 
  give 
  the 
  meet- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  privilege, 
  in 
  case 
  there 
  was 
  an 
  overwhelming 
  element 
  in 
  favor 
  

   of 
  a 
  certain 
  place, 
  of 
  selecting 
  the 
  next 
  place 
  for 
  the 
  convention; 
  and 
  I 
  

   would 
  suggest 
  a 
  modification 
  of 
  that 
  clause 
  to 
  this 
  effect, 
  that 
  the 
  place 
  

   of 
  meeting 
  shall 
  be 
  selected 
  at 
  the 
  annual 
  meeting, 
  or 
  by 
  the 
  Executive 
  

   Committee 
  subsequently 
  thereto. 
  That 
  would 
  give 
  the 
  membership 
  an 
  

   opportunity 
  of 
  having 
  a 
  word 
  in 
  it, 
  and 
  would 
  open 
  the 
  door 
  so 
  that 
  it 
  

   could 
  be 
  considered 
  at 
  the 
  annual 
  meeting 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  event 
  of 
  this 
  not 
  

   taking 
  place 
  then, 
  it 
  would 
  fall 
  to 
  the 
  Executive 
  Committee 
  to 
  select 
  the 
  

   meeting 
  place. 
  I 
  move 
  that 
  as 
  an 
  amendment 
  to 
  the 
  proposed 
  clause. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake: 
  I 
  support 
  Professor 
  Craig's 
  motion. 
  

   Professor 
  Craig: 
  If 
  my 
  seconder 
  will 
  approve, 
  I 
  will 
  offer 
  that 
  as 
  

   a 
  substitute 
  instead 
  of 
  an 
  amendment. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake: 
  I 
  accept 
  it. 
  (Carried.) 
  

  

  Doctor 
  Deming: 
  Under 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  "Officers," 
  the 
  following 
  

   amendment 
  is 
  proposed 
  : 
  ' 
  ' 
  There 
  shall 
  be 
  a 
  president, 
  a 
  vice-president, 
  

   a 
  secretary-treasurer, 
  and 
  an 
  executive 
  committee 
  of 
  five 
  persons, 
  of 
  

   which 
  latter 
  the 
  president, 
  vice-president, 
  and 
  secretary 
  shall 
  be 
  mem- 
  

   bers, 
  and 
  a 
  vice-president 
  from 
  each 
  state 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  member- 
  

   ship 
  of 
  the 
  Association." 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake 
  : 
  I 
  move 
  that 
  the 
  clause 
  be 
  accepted. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Eush 
  : 
  I 
  second 
  the 
  motion. 
  (Carried.) 
  

  

  Doctor 
  Deming: 
  Under 
  the 
  heading 
  of 
  "Election 
  of 
  Officers," 
  this 
  

   addition 
  is 
  proposed: 
  "The 
  President 
  shall 
  appoint 
  a 
  nominating 
  com-
