SCIENCE 



475 



A communication, from Dr. Felix Neumann, 

 of the Surgeon General's Library, suggesting 

 a change in the last constitution in the name 

 of Section K from Historical and Philolog- 

 ical Sciences to History of Science was read, 

 and, on motion, the secretary was instructed 

 to inform Dr. Nevtmann that this idea could 

 be embodied in an amendment to the con- 

 stitution to be submitted at the St. Louis 

 meeting, if desirable, or that members inter- 

 ested in the history of science could form a 

 sub-section of Section K provided the name 

 as previously recommended for the section 

 should be adopted. 



The following fellows were elected as honor- 

 ary fellows emeritus under the terms of the 

 Jane M. Smith Fund: Charles Frederick 

 Chandler, Edward Williams Morley, William 

 North Eice and Albert Henry Tuttle. 



On motion, the treasurer was authorized 

 to invest two thousand dollars in Victory 

 Liberty Notes. 



Reports of progress with regard to the pro- 

 posed popular journal were made by Mr. 

 Humphreys and Mr. Noyes. After a lengthy 

 discussion on the proposal for a new scientific 

 journal under the partial auspices of the 

 American Association for the Advancement 

 of Science, it was agreed it would be equitable 

 to enter into arrangements provided that 

 Science be offered to members for the three 

 dollar fee; that the new popidar journal or 

 The Scientific Monthly be offered for four 

 dollars; that Science and the new popular 

 journal be offered for six dollars, and that all 

 three publications be offered for nine dollars, 

 and that Science be underwritten for its cir- 

 culation through the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science on the amount 

 of its subscriptions at the time of the estab- 

 lishment of the new journal; or that Science 

 be paid fifty cents for each individual sub- 

 scription between the actual subscriptions and 

 the circulation at the time mentioned, the 

 same to be deducted from the amount paid 

 by the association to the new journal. 



Dr. Ward reported from the committee on 

 state and local academies, giving the results 

 of preliminary negotiations with three state 

 academies. 



On motion, it was resolved that state and 

 city academies of science may become asso- 

 ciated or affiliated with the association by 

 paying to the association only two dollars and 

 fifty cents for each member, retaining fifty 

 cents of the association fee for the use of the 

 academy, and the entrance fee of the asso- 

 ciation of five dollars shall be remitted in 

 such cases. 



J[r. Cattell made a progress report with re- 

 gard to the National Education Association. 



On motion, Messrs. MacDougal, Coulter and 

 B. il. Duggar were appointed a special com- 

 mittee to confer with the secretaries of so- 

 cieties of botanical interests which meet with 

 the association to consider the coordination 

 of the efforts of such societies. 



On motion, the opinion of the committee on 

 policy was expressed that, when the new jour- 

 nal on popular science is established, the 

 entrance fee of the association should be re- 

 mitted for one year. 



At 10.30 P.M., the committee adjourned.
