REPORT OF SECTION III 



The Section held five sessions which were attended by the 

 following Fellows: Bain, Mackenzie, Fields, Parker, Boswell, Mc- 

 Lennan, Glashan, Herdt, Ruttan, Hughes, Patterson, Eve, King, 

 Boyle, Maass, Gray, Plaskett, Allen, Buchanan, Clark, Allan, Archi- 

 bald, Johnson, Sullivan, Shutt, Harkness, DeLury, Bronson and 

 several visitors. 



Three new Fellows were elected during the past year: Dr. J. A. 

 Gray, Dr. A. LI. Hughes and Dr. Otto Maass. 



The Secretary reported that Dr. Tory had not attended a meeting 

 for three years nor presented a paper, and on motion it was resolved 

 to ask the Society postpone action for one year. 



There was a long discussion on the proposed amendment to 

 By-law No. 8, and it was finally agreed to recommend to the Society 

 that the amendment be accepted with the changing of the words 

 from "time to time" to "once in three years or attend the Annual 

 Meeting once in three years," and to give the Section power to place 

 a member who was unable to comply with the By-law, on the retired 

 list, honora causa. 



The Section heard with very evident satisfaction the decision of 

 the Council to appoint a Committee to report on the best method of 

 publishing the transactions, and approved the recommendation of the 

 Associate Committee on Physics and Engineering Physics of the 

 Honorary Advisory Council that the Scientific papers be published. 



(1) In periodical form. 



(2) At stated, regular intervals. 



(3) For sale at a fixed price and that an Editor-in-Chief and 

 Associate Editors be appointed to superintend the publication as 

 above. 



They further recommended that separate publication be made of 

 the papers in Section III. 



In regard to the recommendation of Section V on Publication, 

 it was resolved to accept item I, but that no action should be taken 

 on 1 1 , pending the report of the Publication Committee to be appointed. 



The Section recommends holding the Annual Meeting during 

 the week of May 24th and including that date if necessary. 



The President, Professor J. Watson Bain, and the Secretary, 

 Mr. J. Patterson, were appointed to be the Editorial Committee with 

 instructions to refer the papers for publication to any Fellow of 

 Section III and in case of doubt to get the opinion of more than two 

 Fellows.
