your membership. I have had considerable trouble about that, but have 

 worked it out fairly well so far. The foreign exchanges are made through 

 the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. The files of the reports sent to 

 members are paid for by the Academy. The library pays for the others, 

 and through the library they are distributed. 



I am very anxious that the -members come to the library, as their 

 coming there to use these reports will make it known to the public that 

 the reports are there and can be used. 



I believe I have nothing further of interest, but I am very anxious to 

 see you in the library. (Applause.) 



Dr. Folev : I am sure I voice the sentiments of the Academy when 

 I thank our Librarian for the efforts he has put forth in getting the 

 Academy library in good shape, available for use. 



The program calls for greetings from the various other scientific so- 

 cieties after the addresses of the morning. I am informed, however, 

 that Mr. Brossmann. representing the Indiana Engineering Society, is here 

 and cannot remain, therefore I will call upon Mr. Brossmann at the present 

 time. 



Mr. Brossmann's address will be found in full on page 44. 



Dr. Foley : I might ask if there are any other representatives of 

 societies here that cannot remain during the period. If so, we will have 

 the greeting at this time. 



There is just one other point that might be taken up at this time, 

 and that is the question of a summer meeting. The question was men- 

 tioned at the Executive Committee meeting last evening, but was not 

 settled. Are there any suggestions as to whether we shall or shall not have 

 a summer meeting? I think the Program Committee would like to have 

 an expression from the Academy. It does not wish to announce a meet- 

 ing unless somebody meets. On the other hand, it does not wish to dis- 

 continue this meeting if it is the desire of any considerable number of 

 members to continue them. What is the wish of the Academy? 



If no one has any suggestions. I will call on Dr. S. E. Earp. who fears 

 he may not be able to remain during the entire morning, to respond for 

 the Indiana Medical Society. 



Dr. Earp's remarks will be found in full on page 40. 



(Mr. P. X. Evans. Vice-President, in the chair.)
