Forty- first Annual Meeting 21 



you anything to say about the Executive Committee's work 

 during the year? 



Dr. Henry B. Ward, Urbana, 111. : I am not aware of 

 any business to report, Mr. President. 



President: Mr. Fearing, have you anything to say in 

 reference to the work of the Executive Committee during 

 the year? 



Mr. Fearing: I saw Dr. Townsend and he said there 

 was nothing. He will not be here. 



President: Will the chairman of the Program Com- 

 mittee report the titles of any papers that may be read 

 before noon? 



Proe. L. E. Dyctie, Pratt, Kan. : We have not had 

 opportunity for a conference, but I see no reason why if we 

 have time we should not begin the reading of papers. 



President: Will the committee get together and recom- 

 mend some papers to be read before the close of the morning 

 session? I would suggest that while we think about it, some 

 one make a motion as to the time we shall convene after 

 luncheon. 



Secretary : Would not 2 o'clock be a suitable time ? 

 Judging by the experience of previous meetings this seems 

 to be the usually accepted hour. 



President: I might say that, as in the past, it will be 

 considered in order at any time when actual business is not 

 in progress for the Committee on Resolutions to present a 

 report. Between the reading of papers or at any other time 

 during the sessions, that committee has priority over other 

 matters. 



The Program Committee has made a preliminary report 

 and I have been called upon to open the skirmish. ( \1 

 the President's request Mr. Boardman took the chair.) 



The President then read a paper on the subject of 

 "Goitre Among Trout, and Efforts to Eradicate It," which 

 paper was discussed. 



A recess was taken until 2.00 p.m., same day and place.
