your membership. I have had considerable trouble about that, but have 
worked it out fairly well so far. The foreign exchanges are made through 
the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. The files of the reports sent to 
members are paid for by the Academy. ‘The library pays for the others, 
and through the library they are distributed. 
I am very anxious that the members come to the library, as their 
coming there to use these reports will make it known to the public that 
the reports are there and can be used. 
I believe I have nothing further of interest, but I am very anxious to 
see you in the library. (Applause.) 
Dr. Fotey: I am sure I voice the sentiments of the Academy when 
I thank our Librarian for the efforts he has put forth in getting the 
Academy library in good shape, available for use. 
The program calls for greetings from the various other scientific so- 
cieties after the addresses of the morning. I am informed, however, 
that Mr. Brossmann, representing the Indiana Engineering Society, is here 
and cannot remain, therefore I will call upon Mr. Grossinann at the present 
time. 
Mr. Brossmann’s address will be found in full on page 44. 
Dr. Forty: I might ask if there are any other representatives of 
societies here that cannot remain during the period. If so, we will have 
the greeting at this time. 
There is just one other point that might be taken up at this time, 
and that is the question of a summer meeting. The question was men- 
tioned at the Executive Committee meeting last evening, but was not 
settled. Are there any suggestions as to whether we shall or shall not have 
a summer meeting? I think the Program Committee would like to have 
an expression from the Academy. It does not wish to announce a meet- 
ing unless somebody meets. On the other hand, it does not wish to dis- 
continue this meeting if it is the desire of any considerable number of 
members to continue them. What is the wish of the Academy? 
If no one has any suggestions, I will call on Dr. S. HE. Earp, who fears 
he may not be able to remain during the entire morning, to respond for 
the Indiana Medical Society. 
Dr. Earp’s remarks will be found in full on page 40. 
(Mr. P. N. Evans, Vice-President, in the chair.)
