McMillin Prize. 
A recommendation was presented by Dr. T. C. Menden-

fund of the Academy be invested as a permanent endowment, 
and that the interest derived from the same be devoted to a 
prize bearing the name of Mr. Emerson McMillin. 
The general plan was endorsed by the Academy, and the 
working out of details was referred to the Executive Committee 
and the Trustees of the Research Fund for report at the next 
annual meeting. For the year 1923-24 the use of the income 
of the research fund was referred to the Trustees with power.

societies consisting largely of college men.
