REPORT OF SECTION IV 



During the three days of the Annual Meeting, May 18, 19 and 

 20, five sessions of Section IV were held, which were attended by the 

 following Fellows, 18 in number: — • 



Dr. W. Mclnnes, President; Dr. F. D. Adams, Mr. R. W. Brock, 

 Mr. Charles Camsell, Dr. A. P. Coleman, Dr. W. H. Collins, Mr. 

 D. B. Dowling, Mr. J. A. Dresser, Mr. E. R. Faribault, Mr. R. P. D. 

 Graham, Mr. R. A. A. Johnston, Secretary; Dr. E. M. Kindle, Mr. 

 C. W. Knight, Mr. R. G. McConnell, Dr. W. G. Miller, Dr. T.L. 

 Walker, Dr. G. A. Young, Dr. W. A. Parks. 



On the unanimous recommendation of the Section, Dr. Robert 

 C. Wallace and Dr. George Albert Young were elected members by 

 resolution of the General Meeting to fill vacancies in the Section. 



A resolution was passed endorsing the motion to increase the 

 membership of the Section from 25 to 30 and it was further agreed 

 that should this motion carry at the General Meeting three new 

 members be elected in 1922. 



The Report of the Committee on Scientific Conditions in Canada 

 was very thoroughly discussed and with regard to the suggestions set 

 forth it was agreed : (1) that the provisions of Clause 1 are unnecessary 

 inasmuch as the scientific attainments of candidates for Fellowship 

 in the Royal Society of Canada are thoroughly scrutinized under the 

 present method of procedure; (2) that the adoption of the provisions 

 of Clause 2 would tend to encourage research and would be in the 

 interests of the Society; (3) that the provisions of Clause 3 touch upon 

 a matter which would be better left entirely to the discretion of in- 

 dividual members concerned.
