 have been invested in interest-drawing securities ; that all the financial 

 obligations of said Academy have been paid and that there is a balance

The Report of said Committee was approved, ratified and confirmed

There was an earnest discussion relating to the activities of the 

 Sections of the Academy, resulting in the unanimous adoption of the 

 following Resolution, to-wit : 



Resolved, The Board of Directors recommend that Sections of the 

 Academ}- meet at least six times a year, preferably once a month, when 

 possible and desirable ; 



Further, That cost of membership in said Sections to all not mem- 

 bers of the Academy be one dollar per year, including subscription to 

 Bulletin and free admission to one or more Sections of the Academy. 



Dr. Ralph Benton was elected to membership. 



Board adjourned.

Secretary. 



*The unusual volume of matter in this number of the Bulletin has 

 delayed its going to press and impeded its issue upon the usual date. 



The earnest desire of the Directors to increase the usefulness of 

 the Sections, by extending encouragement and all possible aid for their 

 prosperity and success in their good work, induced the action at the last 

 meeting of the Board, and the record of the proceedings of that meeting 

 is included herein for the information of all who may desire to become 

 associated with the work of Sections, although not members of the 

 Academy.
