in the City of Washington. It has also been suggested that as it 

 is the poHcy of the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experi- 

 ment Stations to hold a meeting in Washington, D. C, every other 

 year, that this Association might think it advisable to meet occa- 

 sionally with the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment 

 Stations in Washington in order to give the Washington memVjers 

 and other members who desire to go to Washington to consult libraries 

 and museums, a better opportunity to visit that city. 



On motion the Chair was authorized to appoint a committee to 

 consider this matter and report at the last session. 



The following committee was appointed: Mr. H. T. Fernald, Mr. 

 T. J. Headlee, Mr. Glenn W. Herrick. 



At the session on Friday morning, January 2d, the closing business 

 of the meeting was transacted. 



President P. J. Parrott : I will now call for the report of the Com- 

 mittee on Amendment to the Constitution. 



REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION 



Considering that the Association now has two vice-presidents, one of which pre- 

 sides over the section of Horticultural Inspection and the other over the section of 

 Apiary Inspection; that in the absence of the President there is no regular officer 

 to preside over the general meeting if held at the same time as the section meetings; 

 and that it is often impossible for all of the officers to be present, 



Therefore, the committee recommends the adoption of the proposed amendment 

 to the Constitution as published in the program providing for "one vice-president 

 and an additional vice-president for each section." 



While the committee was considering the amendment to the Constitution, it 

 also took up the question of the by-laws, especially regarding the dues, and begs 

 leave to submit the following for future consideration: 



The committee suggests that beginning with the year 1915, the annual dues be 

 increased; that the dues of active members be raised to two dollars ($2.00) and 

 those of associate members to one dollar ($1.00). This necessitates an amendment 

 to the by-laws which cannot be acted upon at this meeting, but the committee recom- 

 mends that the Secretary-Treasurer be instructed to publish a notice of this change 

 in season for action at the next annual meeting.

Committee. 



Mr. E. p. Felt: I move that the recommendations of the committee 

 be adopted. 



Mr. C. Gordon Hewitt: I should like to second that motion 

 but think it should be made clear that the vice-presidents who pre- 

 side over the sections should be designated so that there will be no 

 misunderstanding.
