.luwricaii l-islicrics Society. 'i:\ 



Xo !)(.' willing" lo ])ay iMie dollar in ordcM' U^ receive the ])a]X'rs read 

 at these iiieetini;-s, and that ! sliDuld i)res.nt this matter to the 

 Soeict)' for consideration. 1 \vould like to hear it discussed. 



Dr. Janus: It seems to me after a paper is read and is 

 juihlic ])roperi\- that an\- journal mit'lit have the privilege of 

 publishing- it. I hardl\- feel that the\- should have all tb.e papers 

 presented, as we shall want them for our volume. Anyone 

 that has an extra copy should have the i)riviks.;e of printing it in 

 such papers as he chooses. After they are read they are tlie 

 ])ro])ertv oi this Society, hut not before. 



The President • I think it has been th.e custom of this 

 Society to give the papers out. The Society feels that after the 

 original j^apers have been presented here and read they are our 

 propertv. but there has never Ijeen an\- objection by the Society 

 against individual members loaning them to any journal. Are 

 there an\- further remarks in reference to this letter of Mr. Key- 

 nokl's? 



Mr Clark: \\'h\- is it necessary for us to take any action 

 in th;: matter at all? It seems to me if it has been the custom for 

 any member to turn over a copy of his papers to the h'orest and 

 Stream, that he may continue to do so. 



The President: \\ hv not make a motion that the meml)ers 

 are at liberty to furnish their papers to the hkirest &: Stream if 

 thev see fit. 



Mr. Clark: I then move that the Secetary be instructed 

 to notifv Mr. Re\nolds to that effect. 



The President: You have heard the motion that the Secre- 

 tary be instructed to notify Mr. Reyonlds, in repl}- to his letter, 

 that the individual members may fu.rnish du])hcate copies of 

 their papers to the Forest & Stream, the Society to retain the 

 originals as its own property. 



^Ir. Morse: As I understand _\'our statement of the motion, 

 the individual members may present him du])licate copies. I 

 think it ought to be so arrang\'d that other jjublications could 

 get the papers, too. I would make it so broad that the authors 

 mav give copies to an\' jmblication that they see fit.
