Proceedings of the Ohio Academy of Science 15 



has been sent to the leading dailies in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland 

 and Toledo. 



As directed by the Academy, letters containing the relevant por- 

 tions of the report presented at the last meeting by the Committee on 

 Resolutions were sent to the societies naming delegates to the Anni- 

 versary Meeting, to all delegates in attendance, and to other individuals 

 and organizations mentioned in the resolutions. 



The Secretary has also followed the instructions of the' Academy 

 in revising and reprinting the circular of information concerning the 

 scope of the work of the Academy. The revised circular was mailed 

 with the preliminary announcement of this meeting. 



At the last meeting the Secretary reported correspondence with 

 Dean Leutner, Secretary of the Ohio College Association, concerning 

 the desirability of an active co-operation of the Academy with the 

 College Association. The change in the date of the annual meeting of 

 the Academy has made such co-operation possible and natural. Further 

 correspondence and conferences with the members of the Program 

 Committee and with Dean Leutner have resulted in the present arrange- 

 ment of the program. It may be noted that a rather unusually small 

 number of titles on the Academy program has facilitated this co-opera- 

 tion. A fuller program might well lead to complications. In view of 

 this fact, it may be wise for the Academy to take action at this meeting, 

 instructing next year's Secretary and Program Committee as to the 

 desirability of continuing, extending, or restricting this affiliation with 

 the Ohio College Association and other societies. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward L. Rice, Secretary.
