Thirty-third Annual Meeting 213 
“In advising me that your organization will be represented on the national 
Baird memorial committee, will you kindly communicate your views on the 
general subject of the memorial?’’ 
The action of the Executive Committee is shown in the following 
quotation from the reply to Dr. Walcott’s letter: 
“Our committee was enthusiastically in favor of such a memorial and 
appointed Dr. Raymond C. Osburn, of Ohio State University, as our representa- 
tive. As to the particular form of memorial, the consensus of opinion was in favor 
of the fountain or aquarium, rather than the other alternatives suggested in your 
letter. Dr. Osburn was, however, left without formal instructions.”’ 
On the suggestion of the Treasurer, it was voted to allow to each 
new member the option of receiving the back numbers of the Ohio 
Journal of Science from January to the time of election or of com- 
mencing the Journal with the following January, as he may prefer. 
A second meeting of the Committee was held in Oberlin on March 
29, 1923. All members present. 
In accordance with the instructions of the last Annual Meeting, the 
Committee has prepared a series of amendments to the Constitution, 
establishing the Committee on State Parks and Conservation as a 
standing committee of nine members, and providing for the election of 
three members each year for a term of three years. These amendments 
will be presented for adoption later in the session. The expiration of 
the term of office of the committee membership was determined by lot, 
as follows: Herbert Osburn, Chairman, 1925; E. Lucy Braun, 1924; 
J. E. Carman, 1924; Bruce Fink, 1926; E. L. Fullmer, 1925; E. R. 
Hayhurst, 1926; F. H. Herrick, 1925; C. G. Shatzer, 1924; E. N. 
Transeau, 1926. 
The Committee voted to recommend that the Academy heartily 
endorse the efforts of the Ohio College Association toward the securing 
of uniformity in date of the spring vacation of the colleges of Ohio, as 
facilitating attendance at meetings of the Ohio College Association, 
Ohio Academy of Science, and other societies consisting largely of 
college men. 
The Committee also voted to recommend to the Academy an amend- 
ment of the By-Laws providing an annual honorarium of one hundred 
dollars for the Secretary, this honorarium to include expenses for 
clerical assistance. 
Sixteen applications for membership have been approved, subject 
to final ratification by the present meeting. 
Respectfully submitted, 
EDWARD L. RIceE, Secretary.
