the Treasurer's report was found to be correct. Thereupon 

 the Treasurer's report as presented at the morning session was 

 adopted unanimously. 



In making the report for the Committee on Nominations, 

 Professor Goss said : 



"Before formally presenting the report of the committee 

 I wish to say that the committee considered some matters 

 rather informally, one of which at least, should be mentioned.

 statement because his name does not appear in the list of 

 names presented by the committee, and the reason his name 

 does not appear, is due to the extreme modesty of the Chair-

Your committee nominates the following officers for the 

 coming year: 



For President — S. A. Forbes. 



For Vice-President — John M. Coulter. 



For Secretary — A. R. Crook. 



For Treasurer — J. C. Hessler. 



For the third member of the publication committee, which 

 consists of the President and Secretary and one member 

 elected, the third member — H. F. Bain. 



For the Membership Committee — T. W. Galloway, Chair- 

 man ; F. L. Charles, U. S. Grant, T. L. Hankinson and S. W.

The report is signed by all the members of the committee.

 ballot of the Academy for the officers mentioned in the report.
