A letter was read from the Eittenhouse Memorial Associa- 

 tion, requesting the Society to join in a petition to the Legis- 

 lature, requesting the erection of a suitable monument to com- 

 memorate the services of David Eittenhouse to the State and 

 the county. 



After discussion and debate, the Society, on motion of Mr. 

 Prime, 



Resolved, That while the members of the American Philosophical So- 

 ciety individually sympathize with the proposed memorial requesting the 

 Legislature to erect a monument to David Rittenhouse ; yet, as a society ; 

 they consider it inexpedient to join in a petition so to do. 



Pending nominations Nos. 1213, 1214, 1215, and 1216 were 

 read, spoken to and balloted for. 



The Committee on Finance presented its recommendations 

 for appropriation for the ensuing year. 



Mr. Prime moved to reduce the salary of the Librarian by 

 $250.
