Reports which were adopted were made by 

 various committees, including that on the new 

 constitution and by-laws. This was ordered 

 printed in the Proceedings of the academy. 



The society adopted resolutions expressing its 

 sense of loss in the deaths of three members since 

 the last annual meeting, William Ashbrook Kel- 

 lerman, professor of botany at Ohio State Univer- 

 sity, Hon. Joseph Outhwaite and John J. Janney. 

 The life of Professor Kellerman was sacrificed to 

 science, death resulting from a tropical fever 

 while on a collecting expedition in Guatemala, 

 Central America. He -was one of the charter 

 members of the society and had served it as presi- 

 dent in 1897, while rarely an annual meeting was 

 held in which his interest was not manifested 

 through his attendance and participation in the 

 program. Both Mr. Outhwaite and Mr. Janney, 

 who were also residents of Columbus, had at vari- 

 ous times signified their interest in the affairs of 

 the academy. Mr. Janney died at the advanced 

 age of ninety-six years. 



Resolutions were also adopted expressing the 

 appreciation of the society for the courtesies ex- 

 tended by the faculty and others at Denison 

 University, and to members of the local commit- 

 tee, of which Professor George F. MeKibben was 

 chairman, for their services in the interest of the 

 academy, and furthermore thanking Mr. Emerson 

 McMillin, of New York, for the continuation of 

 his interest in the welfare of science. The society 

 then adjourned.
