The Academy advised the executive committee to consider 

 the advisability of meeting Thanksgiving week instead of in 

 the holiday vacation, the matter ot railway rates at that time 

 to be taken into account. 



President Kellicott stated that President Canfield extended 

 an invitation to the Academy, on the part of the Ohio State 

 University, to hold its meetings there whenever they wish. 



Prof. Webster read a letter from President Butler, of the 

 Indiana Academy, congratulating our Academy and propos- 

 ing a union field meeting of the two academies. Through

 Athens and the Ohio University, presented the claims of 

 Athens as a place of summer meeting. Mr. Fowke spoke 

 for Chillicothe as a place of meeting. 



The following resolutions were offered by Mr. Call, and 

 were unanimously adopted :
