Thirty-first Annual Meeting 179 
While this increase for the JoURNAL comes at a time when it is 
greatly needed, it should be clear in the minds of the members that 
the Treasurer does not condone arrearages. A periodical journal can 
not subsist on alternate fat and lean years. It is desirable that its 
pabulum be more evenly distributed. Further the Treasurer is definitely 
preparing to meet the future expansion of the On10 JOURNAL OF SCIENCE. 
He believes in it thoroughly and wishes to make it an adequate medium 
of expression for all the members. The JouRNAL ought to appeal 
especially to the younger members of the Academy. They need to pub- 
lish articles in order to become introduced to the older scientific workers. 
The Treasurer feels that all the money that can be put into the JouRNAL 
is still not nearly enough to make it the best one of its kind in the 
country. By making it attractive, the JOURNAL can continue to publish 
some of the best articles that the members of the Academy can write. 
The Treasurer further wishes to call the attention of the members 
to the fact that Mr. L. H. Tiffany of the Department of Botany of the 
Ohio State University, has been appointed subscription manager of the 
JOURNAL. It is his duty to see that all members who have squared 
accounts with the Treasurer be supplied with all numbers of the Jour- 
NAL to which they are entitled, without further charges. He is at 
present attending to all cases of non-delivery of the JoURNAL that have 
come to his attention. All complaints in the matter of the delivery of 
the JouRNAL sent to Mr. Tiffany can now be cared for. It is thus to be 
hoped that the members of the Academy will be promptly served.

An invitation was received from Western Reserve University and
