  uiittee 
  of 
  three 
  persons 
  at 
  the 
  annual 
  meeting, 
  whose 
  duty 
  it 
  shall 
  be 
  

   to 
  report 
  to 
  the 
  meeting 
  a 
  list 
  .of 
  officers 
  for 
  the 
  ensuing 
  year.

  Professor 
  Lake: 
  I 
  don't 
  want 
  to 
  be 
  an 
  objector. 
  I 
  simply 
  want 
  to 
  

   file 
  a 
  protest 
  against 
  this 
  method 
  of 
  election 
  in 
  an 
  organization, 
  on 
  gen- 
  

   eral 
  principles. 
  I 
  am 
  opposed 
  to 
  anything 
  that 
  looks 
  like 
  continuing 
  an 
  

   administration. 
  This 
  doesn't 
  give 
  an 
  opportunity 
  for 
  election 
  from 
  the 
  

   floor. 
  It 
  might 
  be 
  so 
  amended, 
  that 
  an 
  annual 
  meeting 
  may 
  elect 
  from 
  

   the 
  floor. 
  I 
  am 
  thoroughly 
  in 
  sympathy 
  with 
  popular 
  government. 
  I 
  

   have 
  seen 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  this, 
  and 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  get 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  

   sentiment 
  of 
  anything 
  of 
  that 
  kind 
  by 
  allowing 
  nominations 
  from 
  the 
  

   floor. 
  

  

  Doctor 
  Deming 
  : 
  How 
  would 
  it 
  be 
  if 
  the 
  nominating 
  committee, 
  in- 
  

   stead 
  of 
  being 
  appointed 
  by 
  the 
  President, 
  were 
  appointed 
  in 
  some 
  

   elective 
  way 
  by 
  the 
  meeting 
  as 
  a 
  whole? 
  

  

  Professor 
  Lake: 
  I 
  accept 
  Doctor 
  Deming 
  's 
  suggestion. 
  That 
  is 
  a 
  

   most 
  excellent 
  way 
  of 
  eliminating 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  controversy. 
  I 
  

   would 
  like 
  to 
  put 
  that 
  definitely 
  into 
  form, 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  a 
  committee 
  of 
  

   five, 
  — 
  that 
  is 
  sufficient 
  for 
  the 
  present. 
  — 
  that 
  a 
  conunittee 
  of 
  five 
  be 
  

   elected 
  at 
  the 
  annual 
  meeting 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  nominating 
  officers 
  for 
  

   the 
  subsequent 
  year. 
  I 
  put 
  that 
  as 
  a 
  motion. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Rush 
  : 
  I 
  second 
  that 
  motion. 
  (Carried.) 
  

  

  President 
  jMorris 
  : 
  The 
  committee 
  for 
  the 
  nomination 
  of 
  new 
  officers 
  

   will 
  consist 
  of 
  Professor 
  Craig 
  and 
  Colonel 
  Van 
  Duzee. 
  This 
  other 
  

   committee 
  of 
  five, 
  as 
  I 
  understand 
  it, 
  is 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  appointed 
  now. 
  

  

  Doctor 
  Deming 
  : 
  The 
  only 
  thing 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  now 
  is 
  the 
  proposition 
  

   that 
  we 
  honor 
  ^Ir. 
  Henry 
  Hales 
  by 
  electing 
  him 
  jui 
  honorary 
  member 
  

   of 
  the 
  xVssociation. 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  move 
  that 
  ]Mr. 
  Henry 
  Hales 
  of 
  

   Ridgewocd, 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  be 
  elected 
  an 
  honorary 
  member 
  of 
  this 
  Asso.- 
  

   ciation. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage: 
  I 
  second 
  that 
  motion. 
  (Carried.) 
  

  

  President 
  ^lorris: 
  On 
  the 
  competition, 
  the 
  committee 
  consisted 
  of 
  

   Mr. 
  Reed, 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage, 
  and 
  myself. 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  has 
  specimens 
  in 
  

   for 
  competition, 
  and 
  I 
  will 
  appoint 
  ^Ir. 
  Roper 
  in 
  his 
  place. 
  The 
  next 
  

   order 
  of 
  business 
  will 
  be 
  the 
  paper 
  on 
  experiences 
  in 
  propagation, 
  by 
  

   Professor 
  Close.
