68 Proceedings of the Ohio State Academy of Science. 



The auditing committee reported that they had approved the 

 financial statements made by the Treasurer and by the Trustees 

 of the Emerson McMillan Research Fund. The acceptance of 

 this carried the acceptance of the report of the Treasurer and 

 the Trustees. 



The committee on place of meetings stated that Oberlin had 

 been selected for 1913. 



The program was then continued until 9:30 when an ad- 

 ditional business session was called. 



Prof. F. C. Blake was appointed Assistant Secretary to aid 

 in the farther organization of the new section in Physics. 



It was then moved, seconded, and carried that Dr. T. C. 

 Mendenhall be made an honorary member of the Academy. 



In connection with the enlargement of the scope of the 

 Academy through the addition of physicists and chemists, a dis- 

 cussion occurred as to the advisability of retaining the name 

 "OhiO' Naturalist" for the official publication of the society. 

 While it seemed to be recognized as inadvisable to change the 

 name of a periodical of long standing, it was suggested that the 

 difficulties might be met through the addition of a clause broad- 

 ening its scope. A motion was then passed referring the sub- 

 ject to the board of editors of the "Ohio Naturalist" and to the 

 Executive Committee of the Academy.

 mittee for 1912-13 :
