MINUTES OF THE SPRING MEETING 
INDIANA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 
BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA, THURSDAY—SATURDAY, May 20-22, 1915. 
The Spring meeting of the Indiana Academy of Science was held at 
Bloomington, Thursday to Saturday, May 20-22, 1915. 
The first session was held in the Physics Lecture room in Science Hall at 
8 o’clock P. M. May 20th to listen to a lecture on Electrical Discharges 
by Dr. A. L. Foley, Head of the Department of Physies in Indiana University 
It was fully illustrated. It was very interesting and instructive and greatly 
appreciated by the crowded house. After this lecture, the Faculty Club of 
the University entertained the Academy with a “Get-Acquainted Hour” 
which was very pleasant. 
The annual tramp had been planned for eight o’clock the next morning, 
but on account of a heavy rain we could not start until ten o’clock. The 
remainder of the day was beautiful. The route was up Rocky Branch to 
Griffey Creek, then up that creek and one of its branches to the University 
Reservoir. Examining the reservoir and pumping station was full of inter- 
est. 
A special committee of the University Faculty arrived in advance with 
a picnic lunch. The meat was roasted over the blazing fires. The fifty-one 
persons present testified to the superior quality of this pienie dinner. 
After lunch, the Academy was met by automobiles which took them to 
the stone district south of Bloomington. Visiting some of the quarries and 
mills was particularly instructive. 
At seven o’clock the members had a complimentary dinner at the Com- 
mons. The members lingered till a late hour telling stories and making 
speeches. 
On Saturday morning a number of the members took the train at 6:20 
for Cave farm near Mitchell. On arriving at Mitchell, they encountered a 
severe rain-storm which continued until noon. This prevented them from 
going to the farm. ANDREW J. BIGNEY, 
Secretary.
