THE OHIO ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 
The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Ohio Academy of 
Science was held at Ohio State University, Columbus, on 
November 26, 27 and 28, 1914, under the presidency of Dr. 
T. C. Mendenhall, of Ravenna. 
The address of the President was delivered Friday evening, 
on the subject “Some Pioneers of Science in Ohio,” and on Satur¬

“Foot and Mouth Disease” by Dean D. S. White of the College of 
Veterinary Medicine of Ohio State University. 
The trustees of the research fund announced a further gift of 
$250.00 from Mr. Emerson McMillin, of New York, for the 
encouragement of the research work of the Academy.
