Thirty-first Annual Meeting 185 
March 25, 1921. 
Lo the Ohio Academy of Science: 
The method of work of the Committee on the Election of Fellows 
has been as follows: 
(1) Through the preliminary announcement of this meeting, the 
entire membership of the Academy was given the opportunity to make 
nominations for fellowship. A single nomination was received. 
(2) Copies of the membership list were mailed by the Secretary 
to the eleven members of the joint committee to be checked as nom- 
inating ballots. Nine ballots were returned. Five members received 
three ballots each, four received two ballots, and thirty-four received 
one ballot. 
(3) A meeting was held in Cleveland on the evening of March 24th, 
at which seven members of the joint committee were present, two were 
represented by duly authorized proxies, two were absent without 
representation. 
After careful consideration and discussion, seventeen members 
received the necessary nine votes and were declared elected to fellow- 
ship in the Academy. The newly elected fellows will be personally 
notified, and the list will appear in the Proceedings. 
In addition to the constitutional specification of “‘ productive scien- 
tific work”’ as a condition for fellowship, the committee has been guided 
by the following principles, which it recommends as a general policy 
for future action: 
(1) Members should not be elected to fellowship in the Academy 
until one year, at least, after election to membership. 
(2) Resident members should not be elected to fellowship who 
are not showing an active interest in the work of the Academy. 
This year’s committee, like that of last year, took the ground that 
its action should be conservative. It is probable that good candidates 
for fellowship have been passed over; it will be the duty of future 
committees to correct these omissions. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Epwarbp L. RICE, Secretary., 
For the Committee.
