28 Proceedings of Indiana Academy of Science 



Committee reports were considered as follows: 



Relation of Academy to the State, — Wm. M. Blanchard read a letter 

 from Chairman Robert W. McBride expressing regrets that he could 

 not be present on account of a severe accident which deprived him of 

 the use of his right hand. He reported in his letter that "everything 

 is harmonious and no action necessary by the Academy". 



Publication of Proceedings. — Chairman J. J. Davis reported that 

 the 38th annual Proceedings was printed and distributed the last of 

 October. The delay was due to priority of legislative printing matter 

 earlier in the year. It was thought that with the co-operation of authors 

 the publication of the Proceedings may be completed not later than 

 March. 



Five of the longer papers were not published because the cost of 

 printing would exceed the appropriation. It was suggested that these 

 papers be included in the next Proceedings. Approved. 



A list of 27 recommendations made by the editorial committee was 

 read. 



It was moved that these recommendations be recognized by the 

 Academy as the "Editor's Code", and that copies of these be sent to 

 all members. Motion carried. 



It was moved that the editor have the "Code" mimeographed and 

 sent to all Academy members. Motion carried. 



It was recommended that authors desiring reprints be charged at 

 the rate of: 



$2.75 per 100 for separates of four pages or less. 

 $4.10 per 100 for separates of five to eight pages. 

 $5.50 per 100 for separates of nine to sixteen pages. 



The money thus collected to be used to enlarge the Proceedings if 

 found feasible. 



After much discussion, it was moved that if it was found legally 

 permissible, a charge be made for reprints as outlined. Motion carried.
