On motion of R. E. Wager, it was voted that the Academy 

 undertake the wardenship and possible acquisition of such 

 portions of the State as still offer opportunity for the preserva- 

 tion of wild life typical of its flora and fauna. The follow-

 port at the next meeting : R. E. Wager, chairman ; Henry C. 

 Cowles, H. S. Pepoon and Frank Smith. 



The following resolution was presented by Stewart Weller 

 for the Committee on Resolutions : 



In the closing hour of the ninth annual meeting of the Illi- 

 nois Academy of Science, the members of the organization 

 desire to express their deep appreciation of the hospitality 

 afforded by the University of Illinois. The nonresident mem- 

 bers wish especially to express their obligations to the resident 

 members of the Academy for their constant oversight of the 

 needs and comforts of the visitors and to the local Chapter of 

 Sigma Zi for their most delightful entertainment. 



We feel that the meeting has been most successful and are 

 confident that the interchange of ideas and the renewal of 

 social relations between members from different portions of 

 the State will give everyone of us added enthusiasm in our 

 special fields of labor. We also believe that the future use- 

 fulness of the Academy will be greatly accelerated by reason 

 of the expressions which have been made of the aims and pur- 

 poses of the organization.
