Thirtieth Annual Meeting 135 
Association. It is hoped that the affiliation may lead to an increase in 
the membership of both societies and to a mutually beneficial 
co-operation. The essentials of the plan are as follows: 
1. All arrangements for the affiliation must be completed within 
the first six months of 1920. 
2. The Treasurer of the Ohio Academy is authorized to collect 
the joint dues from members of the two organizations and to transmit 
the proper share to the Treasurer of the A. A. A. S. 
3. By action of the last Annual Meeting, the annual dues of the 
Ohio Academy of Science are now two dollars; those of the A. A. A. S. 
are five dollars. The joint dues for members of both societies are six 
dollars, of which four dollars go to the A. A. A. S. and two dollars to the 
Ohio Academy. 
4. Members of the Ohio Academy who are not members of the 
A. A. A. S. may become such without the payment of the usual 
initiation fee of five dollars. 
5. Members of the Academy who do not become members of the 
A. A. A. S. continue to pay only the dues of the Ohio Academy. 
6. All members of the Ohio Academy who have already paid the 
five dollar 1920 dues in the A. A. A. S. may obtain a rebate of one 
dollar from the Treasurer of the Ohio Academy upon application 
accompanied by proper receipt. 
No further steps have been taken in connection with the proposed 
affiliation with the Ohio Association of Technical Societies. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Epwarp L. Rice, Secretary, 
For the Committee. 
Report of the Publication Committee. 
The following report of the Publication Committee was 
received and ordered filed. The recommendations embodied 
in the report were approved by the Academy. 
The only publication issued during the year was the Annual Report 
of the Twenty-ninth Meeting (Proc. Ohio Acad. Sci., Vol. VII, Part 4, 
pp. 87-116.) The Secretary’s report was printed in the November num- 
ber of the OnIo JOURNAL OF SCIENCE. It is recommended that this 
become the regular procedure which will insure publication the same 
year as the annual meeting and make it possible for the members to 
have the report before the annual dues for the following year are 
collected. The committee believes that the Academy should continue 
the publication of special reports from time to time, as in the past. In 
this way the standing of the Academy outside of the state would be 
advanced. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Joun H. ScHAFFNER, Chairman.
