278 Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 
have cordial support. Just what fate it may have in the House we 
cannot say. Furthermore, the bill will have to be acted upon by the 
Senate, and considering the lateness of the session, we are somewhat in 
doubt as to the outcome. 
The bill as drafted was changed in two particulars from the bill as 
agreed upon in the Academy, but the changes made, we believe, will 
not defeat the objects of the proposed relation to the State. If passed, 
it should enable the Academy to extend its usefulness and to secure 
modifications 1f necessary 1n the future. 
We recommend that the Committee be continued or a new Commit 
tee appointed with authority to adjust the constitution and make any 
arrangement of details necessary in the carrying out of the provisions. 
of the bill. 
Respectfully submitted, 
HERBERT OSBORN, Chairman,
