Minutes of the Fall Meeting, 



INDIANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, 



INDIANA UNIVERSITY, BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA, 

 December 6, 1917. 



The Executive Committee of the Indiana Academy of Science met in 

 the Faculty Room of Maxwell Hall, and was called to order by the 

 President, W. J. Moenkhaus, of Bloomington. The following members 

 were present: F. M. Andrews, Lee F. Bennett, Wm. M. Blanchard, H. 

 L. Bruner, W. A. Cogshall, C. C. Deam, Howard E. Enders, Edwin 

 Morrison, D. M. Mottier, Will Scott, Charles Stoltz, and John S. Wright. 



The minutes of the Executive Committee of 1916 were read and 

 approved. 



The reports of the standing committees were then taken up. 



Program Comtnittee — F. M. Andrews, Chairman, reported the work 

 completed as indicated by the printed program of fifty-one titles. On 

 motion, the following title, which arrived too late for entry, was added to 

 the program: "Disposition and Intelligence of the Chimpanzee", by W. 

 Henry Sheak, of Philadelphia, Pa. 



Committee on Distribution of Proceedings — Howard E. Enders, 

 chairman, reported that the 1915 Proceedings had been sent out since the 

 last meeting, through the co-operation of the State Librarian, and that 

 the 1916 issue, now in page-proof, will be mailed as early as possible. 



Committee on Restriction of Weeds mid Diseases — D. M. Mottier, 

 member, reported informally upon the possible value of the work of such 

 committee, but that in view of the fact that the State Board of Health 

 and other agencies in the State are engaged in such work, it would seem 

 to be unnecessary to continue this committee. 



On motion, duly passed, the committee is discharged, and this com- 

 mittee hereafter is to be discontinued. 



Committee on Relations of the Academy to the State — John S. 

 Wright reported for the committee that the customary twelve hundred 

 ($1,200) dollar appropriation has been made available for the printing 

 of the Proceedings.
