that we extend a vote of thanks to the management of the Claypool Hotel 

 for courtesies shown the Academy. 



(Seconded and carried.) 



Dr. Foley : We will now take up the program of the morning. The 

 first number is an address by Dr. B. W. Evermann, of the U. S. Bureau of 

 Fisheries, on "Federal Control of International and Interstate Waters." 



For Dr. Evermann's address see page 119. 



Dr. Foley : The next paper is by Prof. Charles W. Greene, of the 

 University of Missouri, on "The Speed of Migration of Salmon in the 

 Columbia River." 



An abstract of Professor Greene's address is given on page 125. 



Dr. Foley : The last paper on the program, "Some Hoosier and 

 Academy Experiences," is by C. A. Waldo, of the Washington University, 

 St. Louis, but Mr. Waldo is not here. The first paper, "Methods and 

 Materials Used in Soil Testing." is by H. A. Huston, of Chicago. Mr. 

 Huston is not here, but his paper is, and it will take about fifteen minutes 

 to read it. It is contrary to precedent that a paper should be read by 

 anyone but the author. However, the Academy can change that, of course, 

 at will. What shall we do with this paper? 



(Moved and carried that the paper be read.) 



For Professor Huston's address see page 111. 



Dr. Foley : I am sure the members of the Academy would like to 

 hear from anyone who has any suggestions to offer. This completes the 

 list on the program, but we will be glad to hear from anyone else. 



If you will pardon me, I would like to make a suggestion or two, one 

 of which was made to me last evening. 



Those of us who are members of the American Association know that 

 when we register there, a number is given us corresponding to the name, 

 address and business of the member. So all we need to do to find any 

 man's pedigree is to refer to the number in the list, which is the registra- 

 tion list. Now, it seems to me that some scheme like that might be an ad- 

 vantage in connection with this Academy, so that any member can find 

 out who the other man is. I know I am introduced to people a half-dozen 

 at a time, whom I cannot place and name a few minutes afterwards. A great 

 many people I find are like to me in that respect. We cannot associate 

 names and faces after having been introduced to three or four persons at 

 once. Perhaps some sort of a scheme might be adopted to advantage.
