18 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 



cation and education in science, we could have a section 

 representing this. A few prominent mathematicians, 

 have been faithful members of the Academy and at least 

 one of these has suggested the desirability of having a 

 section for mathematics. I believe that the organization 

 of such sections would tend to at once broaden and in- 

 tensify interest in the Academy, and to increase its use- 

 fulness. I hope that the suggestion will be fully consid- 

 ered, at the proper tune. J. L. Pkicek, Secretary.
