PROCEEDINGS FOR 1917 XLVII 



indiquer la solution aux séances de l'année 1918: ne serait-il pas dé- 

 sirable d'élargir les cadres de la Section I de manière à lui faire prêter 

 plus d'attention aux travaux scientifiques de langue française et à 

 lui permettre de s'intéresser à ceux qui s'y distinguent. 

 La Section I s'ajourne à l'année prochaine. 



C.-Marius Barbeau, 

 Secrétaire-conjoint pour 1917 , Ottawa. 



On the motion of Dr. Suite, seconded by Dr. Mignault, the report 

 of Section I was adopted. 



Report of Section 11. 



Section II held meetings on May 22nd, 23rd and 24th, twenty- 

 two Fellows being present, as follows: — Professor Wrong, Dr. Fal- 

 coner, Dr. Hutton, Mr. Justice Longley, Mr. Lighthall, Mr. D. C. 

 Scott, Venerable Archdeacon Raymond, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Skelton, 

 Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King, Dr. MacMechan, Dr. Coyne, Dr. 

 Mavor, Mr. McLachlan, Col. Denison, Mr. Currelly, Brig. Gen'l 

 Cruikshank, Dr. Shortt, Dr. Bryce, Dr. MacNaughton, Mr. Cappon 

 and Mr. Burpee. The President, Professor George M. Wrong, oc- 

 cupied the chair. On Wednesday morning, through arrangement 

 with Section I, a joint session was held, at which papers were read 

 by Professor Wrong, Dr. Suite and Dr. Shortt, followed by an inter- 

 esting discussion. This innovation proved so successful that it is 

 the intention to make it if possible a regular feature of the annual 

 meeting. It is felt that such meetings cannot fail to bring about 

 a closer fellowship and better understanding between the English 

 and French members of the Society. 



Professor Stephen Leacock having failed to attend any of the 

 meetings of the Society since his election, and having failed to pre- 

 sent a paper, it became necessary to consider the placing of his name 

 on the Retired List. The Section decided, however, to keep his name 

 on the Active List for another year. 



It appearing that in the last ballot Mr. Justice Riddell and Pro- 

 fessor MacNaughton received the same number of votes, but slightly 

 under the number required for election, it was decided to recom- 

 mend that they be elected to the Society. 



Mr. W. D. Lighthall was appointed to act with Dr. Bryce as 

 representatives of Section II on the Committee on Nominations. 



The Advisory Committee on Nominations of the Section was 

 re-elected, with the addition of the names of the President and Secre- 

 tary of the Section. 



The following Printing Committee was appointed: — Dr. Shortt.
