360 Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 
It is hoped that the academy representatives will be named as early in the year 
as possible, so as to be listed in the permanent secretary’s files. If an academy 
representative is to be unable to attend an annual meeting of the Association 
another may at any time be named to take his place. In general, an academy 
representative will be considered as remaining in office until his successor is 
officially named to the permanent secretary’s office. 
It is suggested to the Ohio Academy that this representative be 
appointed as heretofore by the executive committee. 
It cannot be denied that the Association has maintained a vacillating 
policy toward the State Academies. That this probably will continue is 
to be seen in the following paragraphs from the communications of 
March 21 from Dr. Livingston (italics inserted by the Treasurer). 
G. Term of these arrangements. 
“Tt is understood that those arrangements of academy affiliation are not to be 
considered as in any way binding on the Association beyond the actual statements 
here made. The arrangements here described are to go into effect October 1, 1925, 
and are to be continued until further action by the council of the Association. Modifi- 
cations may be made from year to year and the nature of such modifications will 
doubtless be determined by the degree of success with which the purposes of the 
affiliation are fulfilled. It is understood, however, that no changes in the financial 
or membership aspect of these arrangements will be placed in operation without at 
least a six-months’ preliminary notice to the academies. An academy may with- 
draw from the affiliation on six months’ notice. 
“Tt is to be hoped that the affiliated academies will continue to increase in strength 
and that the time may soon come when they will not need to accept financial grants from 
the Association. It is to be remembered that the source of academy allowances 
is solely the association membership dues paid by members and that there are 
before the Association many projects for advancing American science that will 
require funds from this source. If any affiliated academy may find it possible to 
remit its annual association grant such action will be greatly appreciated by the 
latter, the funds thus freed will be utilized to advance science in other ways, and 
_ the non-financial aspects of the affiliation may be strengthened by such remission 
of grants. 
‘The officers and representatives of the affiliated academies are invited to 
make further suggestions for improving the association-academy relations, and to 
inform the permanent secretary as to their approval or disapproval of the par- 
agraphs of this memorandum, or as to their suggestions regarding the improvement.”

iile2 a ODO: 
Following the reading of the above report, there was con- 
siderable discussion, pro et con, relative to the advisability of 
continuing the affiliation between the Ohio Academy of Science 
and the A. A. A. S. Finally, upon motion of L. B. Walton, sec- 
onded by R. V. Bangham, the matter was referred to the 
Executive Committee with power.
