REPORT OF PROFESSOR CONARD. 
Mr. President , and Fellow Members of the Academy: 
In thanking you for the honor of representing you at the tenth 
anniversary of the Illinois Academy of Science, I can report that 
I attended all of the sessions of that body at their recent meeting 
at Galesburg, Illinois, February 23 and 24. The welcome given 
the Academy by Knox and Lombard Colleges and by the Citi- 
zens of Galesburg was most cordial, and only equalled by the 
generous hospitality offered to the visiting delegates. The Acad- 
emy had two sessions for the general public. One of these was 
a symposium on Public Health. Both were largely attended. 
Sectional meetings and a business meeting closed the sessions. 
On Friday evening an anniversary banquet was held, on which 
occasion I had opportunity to convey the greetings of this 
Academy. 
ELECTION OF NEW MEMBERS. 
The Secretary submitted the following names for election in 
behalf of the membership committee: 
The persons named were declared elected.
