Report of the Executive Committee. 
The report of the Executive Committee was received as 
follows and ordered filed. 
March 30, 1923. 
To the Ohio Academy of Science: 
A meeting of the Executive Committee was held in Columbus, 
October 21, 1922. All members were present. 
At this meeting the invitation to hold the Thirty-third Annual 
Meeting at Oberlin College was accepted, and the meeting was set 
for March 30 and 31. 
The Secretary was instructed to arrange, if practicable, for the 
publication in the Ohio Journal of Science of a brief obituary notice of 
Mr. Emerson McMillin, in anticipation of a more adequate memorial 
to be presented at this meeting. The late appearance of this notice (in 
the January-February number) was unavoidable, because of the 
readjustment of the dates of publication of the Journal. 
The Secretary presented a letter of June 10 from President Charles 
D. Walcott, of the Spencer Fullerton Baird Memorial, announcing 
plans for the celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the 
birth of Spencer Fullerton Baird, February 3, 1923, and inviting the 
Academy to designate a representative on the national committee. 
The letter closes with these paragraphs: 
“Among the suggestions that have been made for a permanent national 
memorial are (1) a bust, statue, mural or open-air fountain, or bronze mural tablet 
to be provided by voluntary subscriptions and erected in the grounds of the 
Smithsonian Institution or the National Zoological Park, and (2) a fishery 
museum or exhibit, with public aquarium, embracing both the scientific and 
applied features of fishery problems, to be established by Congress under the 
auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. 
“Tt has been suggested also that there be established a Baird Memorial 
Medal to be awarded periodically to persons performing noteworthy original 
or meritorious work in science, and that there be published during 1923, preferably 
under the auspices of the National Museum or the Smithsonian Institution, a 
memorial volume to be made up of original papers on scientific subjects con- 
tributed by Baird’s associates, colleagues, and immediate followers.
