10 ILLINOIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 
Mr. C. H. Smith next presented a list of about 35 names of 
candidates for membership in the Academy and all were duly 
elected. 
Next, a rather long list of amendments to the Constitution 
of the Academy were presented, and after some discussion, 
were adopted as originally proposed. These amendments have 
been incorporated in the constitution as it is printed in Volume 
X of the Academy transactions. 
Next President Hessler presented to the Academy an inyita- 
tion to join with the Indiana Academy of Science in a joint 
meeting some time later in the spring. It was voted to accept 
the invitation and eighteen members present expressed a desire 
to attend such a meeting. 
Committees were appointed by President Hessler as fol- 
lows: Committee on Nomination of Officers: Cowles, Noyes, 
Spicer, Vestal, and Waterman. 
Committee on Auditing: Barber, VanCleave, and Lutes. 
Committee on Resolutions: Knipp, Pepoon, Wager, and 
Miss Marshall. 
Following this business session, a number of papers of gen- 
eral interest were presented, this concluding the program for 
the afternoon. 
Ax 7:00 o’clock in the evening the members of the Academy 
present, together with a goodly number of citizens of Joliet, 
enjoyed a delightful banquet at the Woodruff Inn. 
At 8:00 o’clock, the Academy and a good sized audience of 
Joliet people again assembled in the high school building and 
listened to two addresses as follows: One on Science and 
Patriotism, by President J. C. Hessler, and the other by Pro- 
fessor John M. Coulter, on The Mission of Science in Modern 
Civilization. 
The program for Saturday morning consisted of a Sympo- 
sium on the general topic, Science and Education. It included 
seven most excellent papers each of which set forth in most 
admirable form the claims of some branch of science to a place 
in general education.
