  and 
  Mr. 
  T. 
  P. 
  Littlepage. 
  There 
  is 
  no 
  Committee 
  on 
  Incor- 
  

   poration. 
  Will 
  someone 
  propose 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  such 
  a 
  committee 
  ? 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary: 
  Isn't 
  it 
  a 
  desirable 
  thing 
  that 
  the 
  society 
  

   should 
  be 
  incorporated 
  ? 
  It 
  was 
  mentioned 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  a 
  wealthy 
  

   man 
  that 
  if 
  anyone 
  wished 
  to 
  leave, 
  or 
  give, 
  some 
  money 
  to 
  

   this 
  association, 
  they 
  would 
  be 
  much 
  more 
  likely 
  to 
  do 
  it 
  if 
  the 
  

   society 
  were 
  incorporated. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  better 
  for 
  someone 
  

   to 
  make 
  a 
  motion. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Lake: 
  I 
  move 
  that 
  a 
  Committee 
  on 
  Incorporation 
  be 
  

   appointed 
  by 
  the 
  chairman; 
  a 
  committee 
  of 
  three. 
  

  

  (Motion 
  seconded 
  and 
  adopted.) 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  The 
  Committee 
  on 
  Incorporation 
  will 
  con- 
  

   sist 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Littlepage 
  and 
  Prof. 
  Close. 
  This 
  evening 
  we 
  will 
  

   meet 
  informally 
  here 
  at 
  about 
  eight 
  and 
  tomorrow 
  at 
  ten 
  we 
  

   have 
  the 
  meeting 
  at 
  the 
  Scenic 
  to 
  hear 
  the 
  papers 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Rush 
  

   and 
  Prof. 
  Lake 
  and 
  Prof. 
  Reed, 
  and 
  see 
  the 
  lantern 
  slides. 
  We 
  

   will 
  first 
  meet 
  here 
  at 
  nine 
  o'clock 
  for 
  an 
  executive 
  nieeting 
  and 
  

   to 
  look 
  over 
  the 
  exhibits. 
  The 
  Committees 
  will 
  report 
  at 
  that 
  time. 
  

  

  (After 
  discussion, 
  on 
  motion 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Smith, 
  seconded 
  by 
  

   Mr. 
  Littlepage, 
  the 
  selection 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  meeting 
  

   was 
  left 
  to 
  the 
  Executive 
  Committee.) 
  

  

  The 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  Secretary 
  and 
  Treasurer 
  was 
  then 
  read. 
  

  

  (SEE 
  APPENDIX) 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  You 
  have 
  heard 
  the 
  Secretary's 
  report. 
  We 
  

   had 
  better 
  take 
  up, 
  first, 
  the 
  question 
  of 
  deficit. 
  What 
  are 
  we 
  

   going 
  to 
  do 
  about 
  the 
  $66.00 
  ? 
  What 
  prospects 
  have 
  we 
  for 
  

   the 
  balancing 
  of 
  that 
  account 
  ? 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary: 
  That 
  account 
  will 
  be 
  easily 
  balanced, 
  and 
  

   more 
  than 
  balanced, 
  by 
  the 
  dues 
  coming 
  in 
  and 
  then 
  I 
  will 
  pro- 
  

   ceed 
  to 
  run 
  up 
  a 
  deficit 
  for 
  next 
  year. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman: 
  You 
  have 
  heard 
  the 
  Secretary's 
  report. 
  

   If 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  discussion, 
  a 
  motion 
  to 
  adjourn 
  will 
  be 
  in 
  order. 
  

  

  (Adjourned 
  till 
  December 
  19th.) 
  

  

  The 
  Convention 
  met, 
  pursuant 
  to 
  adjournment, 
  December 
  

   19th, 
  1912, 
  at 
  9:30 
  a. 
  m., 
  President 
  Morris 
  in 
  the 
  Chair, 
  and 
  

   went 
  into 
  Executive 
  Session. 
  

  

  It 
  was 
  moved 
  and 
  carried 
  that 
  the 
  President 
  be 
  empowered 
  

   to 
  appoint 
  a 
  committee 
  to 
  attend 
  the 
  conference 
  at 
  Albany,
