The Ohio Naturalist. 
[Vol. XV, No. 8, 
replanted on the campus this spring. The motion was carried. 
Professors Osborn, Prosser, and Durrant were appointed on the 
first committee and Mr. Shadle, Prof. Lazenby, and Mr. Forest 
Brown on the latter one. 
The program for the evening consisted of two very interesting 
papers: “The Phylogenetic Relationship of Man and Lower 
Animals,” by Mr. Rollo C. Baker; “The Psychological Relation¬ 
ship of Man and Lower Animals,” by Prof. Weiss. Mr. Baker 
compared the Paleontological, embryological, physiological, and 
structural development between man and Anthropoid apes. 
Prof. Weiss compared the actions of lower animals with man. 
The speech reaction gives man the power to reproduce things of 
the past and to consider the future, while other animals can 
adjust themselves only to the present. The speech reaction can 
be converted into writing and thus man has the traditions and 
experience of past generations to guide his actions. 
After a discussion of the papers, the Club adjourned.
