(Moved and carried that the Secretary cast the ballot of the Academy 

 tor these names, and that the persons be considered members after paying 

 fees and signing the Constitution. ) 



Dr. Foley : t should like to bring up a matter at this time which 

 was brought dp yesterday, but we couid not get an expression from the 

 Academy. That is, in regard to the Summer meetings. Does this Academy 

 want a Summer meeting'? I think the Program Committee would like to 

 have an expression from the members. 



Dr. Stanley Coulter: I want to say that in twenty-five years' mem- 

 bership I have found that the Summer meeting is equivalent to about three 

 Winter meetings in the way of uplift and encouragement. Of course, one 

 of the objections is that a good many members — mathematicians, chemists 

 and physicists — would not be specially interested in these Summer meet- 

 ings. I would very much regret to see the Summer meeting abolished. 

 If, however, it does not seem feasible, I presume it might be dropped. I 

 move that the Program Committee be instructed to proceed with plans for 

 the Summer meeting, and if in their judgment the signs are not favorable 

 for a session, they be authorized to drop it. 



W. A. McBeth : I want to second that motion. I remember with 

 great pleasure the Spring meetings. I made it a point to attend them reg- 

 ularly, and through the fact that we had Spring meetings I have visited 

 some very interesting points in Indiana which are hard to get to unless 

 you particularly go there. The town of New Harmony was one of these 

 places; it is full of historical associations. We went to Madison, to Bloom- 

 ington, to many of the caves, and to various other points throughout the 

 State where we would probably not have gone if it had not been for this 

 particular attraction. Now, my own way of thinking is that if we would 

 resolve to go to these Spring meetings they would be worth two of the 

 Winter meetings to those who go. I am heartily in favor of resuming the 

 Spring meetings.
