MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS. 
COUNCIL MEETING. 
Dec. 20, 1912. 
The meeting was called to order by President Case. 
The members present were : Newcombe, Barrows, Case, Walker, Bessev, 
Allen and the Secretary. 
A motion was made by Professor Newcombe that the secretary, Pro- 
fessor Barrows and Professor Bessev be appointed as a committee to 
select a new binding for the Annual Report of the Academy. Seconded. 
Carried. 
The committee that was appointed to look into the possibility of 
forming a new physics-chemistry section had nothing to report officially. 
However, President Case had investigated the matter personally. Pro- 
fessor Newcombe made a motion that President Case’s unofficial report 
be substituted for that of the committee. Seconded. Carried. 
Professor Case reported that the physics people were in favor of form- 
ing a new section but that the chemists held back, since the only people 
who would belong to the new section were already members of the local 
section of the American Chemical Association. 
A motion was made that the Council recommend that anyone publish- 
ing in the Academy Report be not given any rebate for reprints. 
Seconded. Carried. 
A motion was made by Dr. Bessev that the secretary be given an 
allowance of $75.00 in consideration of such expenses as lie may incur

as may be needed. Seconded. Carried.
