d. Procuring speaker for Memorial Hall dedication. 



e. Other necessary expenses for the furthering of the objects of the 



Academy as it now exists. 



2. We further recommend that a bonded trustee be appointed, who, in 

 conjunction with the president, secretary and treasurer, shall be charged 

 with the expenditures of this fund, as above indicated. 



3. We further i-ecommend that on the completion of this merger a 

 new general fund be created for the joint benefit of the merged societies, 

 if effected, consisting of the two affiliated organizations. 



4. That we instruct the Executive Council to take all necessary steps 

 toward furthering this merger, to bring about the broader usefulness of 

 this Academy.

 of Science, we instruct the Executive Council to extend to it an invitation
