Nov., 1921 ANNUAL MEETING — OHIO ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 11 



March 2o, 1021. 

 To the Ohio Academy of Science: 



The method of work of the Committee on the Election of Fellows 

 has been as follows: 



(1) Throu(];h the preliminary announcement of this meeting, the 

 entire membership of the Academy was given the opportunity to make 

 nominations for fellowship. A single nomination was received. 



(2) Copies of the membership list were mailed by the Secretary 

 to the eleven members of the joint committee to be checked as nom- 

 inating ballots. Nine ballots were returned. Five members received 

 three ballots each, four received two ballots, and thirty-four received 

 one ballot. 



(3) A meeting was held in Cleveland on the evening of March 24th, 

 at which seven members of the joint committee were present, two were 

 represented by duly authorized proxies, two were absent without 

 representation. 



After careful consideration and discussion, seventeen members 

 received the necessary nine votes and were declared elected to fellow- 

 ship in the Academy. The newly elected fellows will be personally 

 notified, and the list will appear in the Proceedings. 



In addition to the constitutional specification of "productive scien- 

 tific work" as a condition for fellowship, the committee has been guided 

 by the . following principles, which it recommends as a general policy 

 for future action: 



(1) Members should not be elected to fellowship in the Academy 

 until one year, at least, after election to membership. 



(2) Resident members should not be elected to fellowship who 

 are not showing an active interest in the work of the Academy. 



This year's committee, like that of last year, took the ground that 

 its action should be conservative. It is probable that good candidates 

 for fellowship have been passed over; it will be the duty of future 

 committees to correct these omissions. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary., 



For the Committee.
