10 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OP SCIENCE 



After thorough discussion, the Academy voted unani- 

 mously to become affiliated with the American Associa- 

 tion for the Advancement of Science on the terms pro- 

 posed by the latter organization. These terms are set 

 forth in the Secretary's report printed later in this vol- 

 ume. Next, the Academy voted to adopt an amendment 

 to the constitution, in the form of a complete revision of 

 Article III on membership. This revision includes pro- 

 visions for the affiliated relationship with the American 

 Association. The revised form of this article on mem- 

 bership is printed in the constitution in this volume.
