12 ILLINOIS STATE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE 



The acting secretary gave some facts concerning the 

 publication of three vokimes of Transactions and reported 

 that the vokimes had been mailed to all members. 



The treasurer's report showed a balance of $704.23, the 

 largest in the history of the Academy. 



Reports were made by Prof. Cowles for the committee on 

 Ecological Survey and the committee on Legislation. Prof. 

 Barber reported for the committee on Secondary School 

 Science and Prof. Knipp for the committee on High School 

 Science Clubs. Prof. Van Cleave for the committee on Mem- 

 bership read a list of 155 names of candidates, the largest 

 list presented at an annual meeting. 



Throughout the meeting there were many expressions of 

 appreciation at the happy way in which the presiding 

 officer handled situations indoors and out, and also of regret 

 that the treasurer who had been serving the Academy so 

 skillfully for the last years did not see his way clear to 

 continue in office. 



The new officers are so modest that the librarian agreed 

 to send out this notice of their election. We wish them the 

 greatest success in their work. Future communication 

 should be addressed as below.
