liv Trans. Acad. Sci. of St. Louis. 
from last year), thus bringing the fund up to $3,500.00; and that this, 
which is equal to the total expenditure from the original endowment, 
be deposited, while awaiting more productive investment, in either 
the St. Louis Union or the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, apart 
from the current treasury account of the Academy. 
I also suggest that in future such a separate deposit be made 
of endowment funds, whenever investments mature and money awaits 
reinvestment; and that the Council recommend to the Academy the 
adoption of a rule providing that hereafter no part of the endow- 
ment fund shall be considered applicable to current expenses unless 
duly authorized in each instance by a vote of the Academy, on a rec- 
ommendation of the Council which shall have been included in the 
notice of the Academy meeting at which it is to be voted on. 
Very respectfully, 
(Signed) WILLIAM TRELEASE, me 
President.
