As shown in the secretary's report for the 1910 meeting 45 

 names were presented for membership at the organization meet- 

 ing. During the following year 73 names were added to the 

 list through the efforts of the executive committee, making a 

 total of 118. Of this number 99 qualified by paying the charter 

 membership fee and their names went down on the records as 

 charter members. This was a very fine membership for a new 

 organization and in a new state — Oklahoma being only two 

 years old. However, it was believed that there were at least 100 

 more men in the state who were eligible to membership in such 

 a scientific organization. 



A printed announcement containing the account of the or- 

 ganization, minutes, constitution, and m.embership roll was sent 

 out about Feb. 1, 1910, to all members, presidents of state schools, 

 denominational colleges, superintendents of 44 of the largest 

 city schools of the state, numerous high school science teachers, 

 and others who should know of the Academy and be interested 

 in its work. This same plan has been followed year after year 

 and it is now necessary to pursue a more vigorous campaign 

 than ever to scatter the information concerning the Academy 

 over the State. Very few of the original lists of 99 are now in 

 the State and of those who remain many are not at present ac- 

 tively interested in the Academy. It is only the remnant who 

 have kept alive the work. 



At the present time, (Feb. 1, 1921) the roll shows a mem- 

 bership of about one hundred seventy-five. Some of these have 

 recently moved from the State and will perhaps drop their mem- 

 bership. In the various State institutions and leading high schools 

 there are at least 100 men and women interested in Science, who 

 shou'd become members of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. 

 Since 1913, four meetings have l^een held. aH of v/hich were in 

 Oklahoma City in connection with the Oklalioma State Teachers 

 Association and in eacli case a part of the meet'n^vs wtre in joint
