Chairman R. C. Friesner presented the printed program of 95 

 titles to be read at the general sessions tomorrow. He called attention 

 to the crowded condition of the program and that each branch of 

 science had sufficient number of papers for a section of its own. A 

 letter from the Ohio Academy reiterated its desire to hold a joint meet- 

 ing with the Indiana Academy in the near future. Professor Friesner 

 stated that there had been some criticism because the pi'ograms were 

 mailed out early. He explained that the printed programs contained 

 all titles received up to November 9 and that they were mailed out 

 on November 17. He further stated that the supplementary list con- 

 tained all titles received up to and including December 7. 



Professor Friesner asked for an expression from the Academy 

 concerning the advisability of having the meeting next year at one of 

 the educational institutions. After some discussion Judge McBride 

 moved that the Executive Committee select the place of meeting instead 

 of the Program Committee. Passed.
