6 E. L. RICE Vol. XXII, No. 1 



The Secretary reported correspondence with Prof. R. C. Friesner, 

 Chairman of the Program Committee of the Indiana Academy of 

 Science, relative to the possibility of a joint field meeting of the two 

 Academies this spring. The joint meeting is rendered difficult by the 

 fact that the Indiana Academy holds a fall meeting for the presentation 

 of papers and a field meeting in the spring, while the Constitution of the 

 Ohio Academy restricts the Annual Meeting to March or April. A 

 joint meeting in the spring must either debar the Ohio Academy from 

 the opportunity^ for presentation of papers or eliminate the field meeting 

 from the program of the Indiana Academy. The Executive Committee 

 voted its general approval of a joint meeting at some future date, and 

 instructed the Secretary to continue negotiations with the Indiana 

 Academy. The Committee further instructed the vSecretary to give 

 notice to the Academy of a proposed amendment to the Constitution 

 removing the present restriction as to the date of the Annual Meeting, 

 unless such amendment shall prove to be contrary to the Charter of 

 the Academy. 



The Executive Committee recommended to the Joint Committee 

 on the Election of Fellows that an opportunity be given this year for 

 the nomination of fellows by the present fellows of the Academy on the 

 lines suggested in the pending Constitutional amendment. 



Professor Blake was requested to make an investigation of the 

 desirability of an affiliation of the Academy with the Ohio Association 

 of Technical Societies, as suggested in the Annual Meeting of 1919. 



The President, Mr. Alexander, was requested to act as Chairman of 

 the Committee on Legislation during the absence of Professor Osborn. 



A second meeting was held in Cleveland on the evening of March 24, 

 at which this report was adopted. The President, Treasurer and Secre- 

 tary were present at this meeting. 



Thirty-six new members have been elected during the year, subject 

 to the ratification of the present meeting. 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary, 



For the Committee. 



Report of the Publication Committee. 



The following report of the Publication Committee was 

 received and ordered filed: 



The Annual Report of the Thirtieth Meeting (Proc. Ohio Acad. Sci., 

 Vol. VII, Part 5, pp. 117-158) was published on January 17, 1921. It 

 contains the Constitution and By-Laws in addition to the usual matter. 

 Fifty reprints each of the list of members and of the Constitution were 

 also printed. The present arrangement of printing the Secretary's 

 report in the November issue of the Ohio Journal of Science fol- 

 lowed soon after by the complete annual report seems satisfactory. 



Respectfully submitted, 



John H. Schaffner, Chairman.
