Twenty-eighth Annual Meeting 
In addition to the financial report for the year, the Trustees 
presented the following announcement concerning the use 
of the McMillin Research Fund, which was approved by the 
Academy. 
The McMillin Research Fund of the Ohio Academy of Science has 
been maintained through the generosity of Emerson McMillin and 
grants from this fund are made upon application to the Trustees of 
the fund. 
Applications for grants should include a statement of the subject 
to be investigated, the nature of the expenses to be covered and in so 
far as practicable a list of the proposed items of expense in such manner 
that the Trustees may determine the expenses and the allowance 
needed. 
In rendering accounts it is desirable that an itemized statement be 
submitted, showing the cost of apparatus or supplies used, or, in case 
of traveling expenses, the localities visited, amounts of railroad fare, 
hotel and other expenses as incurred. Payments granted from this fund 
will, as a rule, be made only after the expenses have been incurred and 
upon receipt of detailed statement. Original vouchers should be 
furnished when possible. 
Apparatus, books, maps or material supplies not consumed during 
the investigation, which may be secured with grants from this fund 
are to be the property of the Academy and after the investigation is 
completed should be accounted for to the Trustees or deposited with 
such officer of the Academy as the Trustees may direct. 
It is expected that the results of such investigations will be pub- 
lished and if other means of publication are not available, the Trustees 
will try to assist in securing suitable publication. 
T. C. MENDENHALL, Chairman. 
The Trustees further reported to the Academy a proposal 
to invest five hundred dollars of the Research Fund in Liberty 
Bonds, subject to the approval of Mr. McMillin. The Academy 
voted its hearty endorsement of this proposal.
