On April 23d and 24th the Secretary represented the Ohio Academy 
of Science at the very interesting Semi-Centennial of the Wisconsin 
Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters in Madison. This was done at 
the request of the President, and was made financially possible, without 
expense to the Academy or to the Secretary, through the generosity of a 
group of Columbus members, to whom the Secretary wishes to express 
his very genuine thanks, although he does not know their names. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Epwarp L. Rice, Secretary.

The report of the Treasurer was received as follows, and 
referred to the Auditing Committee, whose report is appended.

before May 15th. There are a number of bills outstanding that will 
have to be taken care of in the next annual Treasurer’s report. This 
accounts for the apparent decrease in the amount of the Treasurer’s 
expenses for the current year but will be increased by the bills included 
in next year’s account.
