Wooster, O., April 3, 1925. 
To the Ohio Academy of Science: 
The duties of the Secretary were, as in past years, largely of a 
purely routine character. These were taken care of with the greatest 
possible dispatch. Among the transactions that seem to be of sufficient 
importance to warrant their review at this time may be mentioned the 
following: 
Certificates of election to fellowship in the Academy were sent to 
all those thus honored at the Annual Meeting in 1924. 
A brief report of the Thirty-fourth Annual Meeting of the Academy 
and a copy of the report of the Committee on Necrology were sent to 
Science; the former appeared in the issue of May 23, 1924, pages 470- 
472. 
Information regarding the history and organization of the Ohio 
Academy of Science together with a copy of our Constitution and 
By-Laws was sent to applicants in two or three states where the organ- 
ization of an academy was under consideration. 
The following letter received by the Secretary speaks for itself: 
TORONTO, SUNDAY, August 10, 1924. 
DEAR Mr. ALEXANDER: 
I do not wish to let today pass without telling you how much I am enjoying 
my visit here and how heartily I appreciate having been sent by the Academy.
