REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 



The Executive Committee has held no meetings during the year. 

 Requests have been received to arrange for joint sessions, from Section O on 

 Agriculture and Section N on Medical Sciences, of the American Association for the 

 Advancement of Science, at the Toronto meeting. Owing to the crowded nature of 

 our program and that arrangements had already been made for two joint sessions, 

 it did not seem practical to make arrangements for further joint sessions at this time. 

 The Executive Committee recommends: 



That in order to expedite the business of the Association, hereafter the auditing 

 of the accounts be made by the Executive Committee prior to the opening of the 

 annual meeting. 



That the books be kept so as to indicate the receipts and expenditures for each 

 activity, as is now the practice. 



That every activity of the Association should be self-supporting. 

 That a permanent fund be established, to which may be transferred each year a 

 portion of the unexpended balance not required for current expenses, such amount 

 to be decided by the Executive Committee. 



Signed— 



George A. Dean
