Nov., 1921 ANNUAL MEETING — OHIO ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 5 



While this increase for the Journal comes at a time when it is 

 greatly needed, it should be clear in the minds of the members that 

 the Treasurer does not condone arrearages. A periodical journal can 

 not subsist on alternate fat and lean years. It is desirable that its 

 pabulum be more evenly distributed. Further the Treasurer is definitely 

 preparing to meet the future expansion of the Ohio Journal of Science. 

 He believes in it thoroughly and wishes to make it an adequate medium 

 of expression for all the members. The Journal ought to appeal 

 especially to the younger members of the Academy. They need to pub- 

 lish articles in order to become introduced to the older scientific workers. 

 The Treasurer feels that all the money that can be put into the Journal 

 is still not nearly enough to make it the best one of its kind in the 

 country. By making it attractive, the Journal can continue to publish 

 some of the best articles that the members of the Academy can write. 



The Treasurer further wishes to call the attention of the members 

 to the fact that Mr. L. H. Tiffany of the Department of Botany of the 

 Ohio State University, has been appointed subscription manager of the 

 Journal. It is his duty to see that all members who have squared 

 accounts with the Treasurer be supplied with all numbers of the Jour- 

 nal to which they are entitled, without further charges. He is at 

 present attending to all cases of non-delivery of the Journal that have 

 come to his attention. All complaints in the matter of the delivery of 

 the Journal sent to Mr. Tiffany can now be cared for. It is thus to be 

 hoped that the members of the Academy will be promptly served.
