52 Fortieth Annual Meeting 



as submitted. I think that Mr. Titcomb should withdraw 

 his objection. This is a new feature, and certainly if any- 

 body is qualified to handle his end of it Mr. Titcomb is, 

 and I do not think he should object to serving. 



The report of the nominating committee was thereupon 

 unanimously adopted. 



President: I suggest that the nomination of members 

 of the Committee on Foreign Relations, which seems to 

 have been omitted from the report, be re-referred to the 

 Committee on Nominations. If that committee has no 

 authority to make these nominations, the Chair would be 

 pleased to entertain a motion giving it such authority. 



Mr. Clark : It seems to me that the President of this 

 Society is in better shape to get the right men on the Com- 

 mittee on Foreign Relations than is the Committee on 

 Nominations. That has always been my view of it, and I 

 supposed that was the way it had been done. 



Mr, Meehan : I move that the matter be referred to the 

 Committee on Nominations for further action. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



The Committee on Nominations reported the following 

 as members for the Committee on Foreign Relations: 



Dr. Hugh M. Smith, Chairman, Washington, D. C. 



Mr. E. N. Carter, St. Johnsbury, Vt. 



Prof. E. E. Prince, Ottawa, Canada. 



Dr. F. M, Johnson, Boston, Mass. 



Mr. H. F. Du Puy, New York City. 



Dr. James A. Henshall, Tupelo, Miss. 



A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously carried 

 adopting the report. 



President: Is the Auditing Committee ready to report? 



Mr. Meehan : The Treasurer's report shows receipts to 

 have been $940.05, while the expenditures were $717.26, 

 leaving a balance of $222.79. The report was audited by 

 the committee and signed by two of us, the third member 

 not being present. I move that the report be received and 

 adopted.
