REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 11 



Miss Brown were members of her committee, and that a 

 sub-committee had been appointed, and all were working 

 with a view of giving the Academy a hearty welcome and 

 a good time at the Rockford meeting. 



The Treasurer gave a preliminary report which 

 showed a balance in the treasury of $713.35. 



Since the price of printing our Carbondale Transac- 

 tions is to be so high this year, the Secretary was in- 

 structed to write to the authors of papers and inform 

 them that reprints could not be furnished gratis, but those 

 desiring them could obtain them at cost. 



It was voted that it be the policy of the Academy for 

 the present that papers to be printed in the Transactions 

 be limited to twenty printed pages (about 7,000 words). 



It was voted that those authors whose Carbondale 

 papers were very lengthy be written to, stating our condi- 

 tion, namely, lack of necessary funds to publish the 

 Transactions, and asking them either to reduce the length 

 of their paper or to pay for all pages in excess of twenty 

 pages. 



Voted that we have 1,000 copies of the Transactions 

 printed this year. 



By vote it was decided that a sum not to exceed $200.00 

 be dra^^Ti from the treasury to help pay for publishing 

 this year's Transactions, provided the amount appropri- 

 ated by the State was insufficient. 



Treas. Schulz presented a list of candidates, four local 

 and six national, to be voted upon. All were elected to 

 membership. 



C. Feaxk Phipps, Secretary.
