February, '16] BUSINESS PROCEEDINGS 9 



President Glenn W. Herrick: Mr. Felt, as chairman of the 

 nominating committee, has called my attention to the fact that the 

 members who were elected last year to serve as councillors to the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science are not present 

 at this meeting. The committee suggests that W. A. Riley and H. A. 

 Morgan be designated to serve in this capacity. It was voted to 

 accept the recommendations of the committee. 



Mr. F. M. Webster: As most of you know, Professor Summers, 

 one of the older members of our Association, is very sick. I would, 

 therefore, move that the secretary be instructed to send a telegram 

 to Professor Summers extending the sympathy of the Association. 

 Adopted. 



The final business session was held Thursday morning, December 30, 



President Glenn W. Herrick: We will now listen to the report 

 of the committee on auditing.
