Committee. 



By vote of the Association, the report was accepted. 



President Britton stated that on account of a recent ruling made 

 in the United States Department of Agriculture, it was not possible 

 for members of the Association to secure their expenses when attend- 

 ing the annual meeting of this Association, and he suggested that some 

 action should be taken to provide for the expenses of the Secretary at 

 the meeting, and then presented the report of the Executive Commit-

 plans to unveil during Convocation Week a tablet upon the site, in Milton,
