Thirty-second Annual Meeting 231 
The Secretary was present to represent the Academy at the meetings 
of the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of 
Science, held in connection with the Toronto meeting. 
The blank form for nomination of fellows was prepared, as directed, 
-and mailed to all members in connection with the preliminary announce- 
ment of this meeting. The certificate of election to fellowship is in 
preparation; a proof was submitted to the Executive Committee for 
suggestion and criticism at the meeting of April 13. 
The following letter was received from the Wisconsin Academy of 
Science, Arts and Letters: 
Sept. 15, 1921. 
The Secretary, Ohio Academy of Science, Columbus, Ohio. 
My Dear Sir: We take great pleasure in sending to your institution, under 
separate cover, the bronze medallion issued in 1920 in commemoration of the 
fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Wisconsin Academy, 1870-1920. 
We ask you to accept it with our fraternal greetings. 
A brief description of the medallion, with a short statement of its significance, 
is sent with the medallion itself. A fuller account is printed in the Fiftieth Anni- 
versary volume, Volume XX of the Transactions of the Academy. 
Yours very truly, 
CHANCEY JUDAY, Secretary. 
The medallion was duly acknowledged, and has been placed with 
the archives of the Academy in the Library Building. 
A letter from V. A. Latham, corresponding secretary of the State 
Microscopical Society of Illinois, contains the following sentences, 
asking for the co-operation of members of the Academy: 
. “Ts there any one you know of who might have duplicates of 
Scientific Journals, especially Microscopy? We are anxious to com- 
plete ours and the John Crerar Library, and any help through your 
Academy would be appreciated. We had so many former micro- 
workers in your state who were members.” Dr. Latham may be 
addressed at 1644 Morse Ave, Rogers Park, Chicago. 
Several years ago the Secretary suggested the desirability of con- 
centrating the administrative work of the Academy in Columbus 
by the election ‘of a Columbus man as secretary. This suggestion 
may well be repeated at this time. The increase in membership, the 
organization of new sections, and the affiliation with the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science have so materially increased 
the routine work of the secretary and treasurer that the Academy 
should look forward in the very near future to the organization of a 
regular Academy headquarters in Columbus, with salaried secretary 
and treasurer, or, probably better, a secretary-treasurer, for efficiency 
would be conserved in various ways by the combination of the two 
offices. This matter is further considered in the report of the Executive 
Committee. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Epwarbp L. Rice, Secretary.
