Committee. 



President C. Gordon Hewitt: The report of the committee is 

 open for discussion. In passing this report, you will, of course, adopt 

 the recommendations made by the committee in regard to elections. 



On motion the report was accepted and the recommendations 

 adopted. 



After the passing of this report, the question of membership was 

 discussed, particularly the policy pursued by the membership com- 

 mittee in connection with promoting associate members to active 

 membership. Mr. T. J. Headlee protested against the action of the 

 committee in promoting too few associate members to active member- 

 ship and offered a motion providing that a special committee be ap- 

 pointed by the chair to recommend for the consideration of the mem- 

 bership committee the men whom it believes ought to be included in 

 the active list. The question was discussed by nearly all the active 

 members present and by vote of the Association the motion was lost.
