mittee was authorized to proceed with the printing of the 

 Transactions. Professor Forbes and President DeWolf were 

 asked to draw up a legislative bill authorizing the State Board 

 of Contracts to publish the Transactions of the Academy in the 

 future. Professor J. S. Compton was elected a member subject 

 to the approval of the Academy. Plans for the Evanston 

 meeting were discussed. 



Membership. At the Peoria meeting forty-six new mem- 

 bers were added, making the mailing list for 1913 total 390 

 names — five less than during the preceding year. This number 

 could readily be doubled if active members would each make 

 an effort to secure at least one new member this year.
