XLIV THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Be it Resolved: 



That we members of The Royal Society of Canada, duly assem- 

 bled for our Annual meeting in Ottawa, do strongly voice our loathing 

 of the atrocities and depredations thus committed by our foes, and 

 that we do solemnly enter and make public our desire to join our 

 unanimous protest with those which have emanated from similar 

 institutions the world over against the perpetration of such crimes. 



Moved by Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux (President of Section I), 

 seconded by Hon. Mr. Justice Longley (Past-President of Section H), 

 that the resolution be adopted and the motion was unanimously and 

 enthusiastically carried. 



It was moved by Dr. W. Lash Miller, seconded by Dr. Barnes, 

 that whereas during the last few years the work of reducing the 

 meteorological and magnetic observations carried out by the Govern- 

 ment of Canada since 1840 has been undertaken, and has already 

 yielded results of scientific and practical importance and, whereas 

 this work is proceeding very slowly, therefore The Royal Society 

 strongly urges the Government that additions be made to the com- 

 puting staff, so that accumulations may be overtaken, and the re- 

 duction of current observations may be kept up to date. 



It was moved by Mr. Stupart, seconded by Dr. Klotz, that a 

 grant of three hundred dollars be made to Dr. L. V. King to enable 

 him to continue his work on Meteorological Physics. — Carried. 



Further consideration was then given to the amendment of the 

 by-laws as proposed by Dr. Klotz. After full discussion, in which a 

 number of the Fellows took part, it was moved by Dr. Bryce, seconded 

 by Dr. Tory, that this amendemnt be left over for future consider- 

 ation. — Carried . 



Dr. Macallum gave notice of motion to amend the by-laws in 

 respect of the method of electing the Fellows and explained to the 

 meeting the procedure he intended to propose. 



The report of the nominating committee was then presented by 

 Dr. Klotz. 



The following nominations were made: — 



For President, — Dr. Alfred Baker. 



Vice-President. — Dr. A. B. Macallum. 



Honorary Secretary, — Mr. Duncan C. Scott. 



Honorary Treasurer, — Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt. 



Honorary Librarian, — Mr. D. B. Dowling. 



It was moved by Dr. Klotz, seconded by Dr. LeSueur, that the 

 report of the nominating committee be received and adopted. — 

 Carried.
