16 Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 
Report of the Executive Committee. 
The report of the Executive Committee was received as 
follows and ordered filed. 
DELAWARE, Onto, April 21, 1916. 
Since the last Annual Meeting of the Academy two joint meetings 
of the Executive Committee and Publication Committee have been 
called—December 28, 1915, and April 21, 1916. 
At the first meeting it was decided to hold the Annual Meeting of 
the Academy for 1916 in Columbus on April 21 and 22, in affiliation 
with the meeting of the Ohio College Association. The details of 
co-operation were left to the Program Committee for adjustment. 
Owing to scanty attendance at this meeting, the consideration of 
the publication of the addresses presented at the Anniversary Meeting 
(referred by the Academy to the joint committees) was deferred. At 
the meeting of April 21 it was decided, after discussion, that the finan- 
cial condition of the Academy will permit the publication of all the 
addresses in the Report of the Anniversary Meeting, and the Publication 
Committee was instructed to proceed with the publication. 
Since the last Annual Meeting two applications for membership 
have been approved by the Executive Committee. These names will 
be presented to the Academy later for ratification. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Epwarop L. Rice, Secretary.
