REPORT OP COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. 
Resolved, That the Iowa Academy of Science expresses its approval of the policy 
of the Director of the Iowa State Bacteriological Laboratory in establishing branch 
laboratories ; that we advocate the extension of this plan until all parts of the State 
are properly cared for, and that we consider an adequate legislative appropriation for 
the purpose as not only eminently proper but highly desirable. 
Resolved, That the Iowa Academy of Science returns its thanks to the President 
and Faculty 'of the Iowa State Normal School for their courtesy in furnishing 
facilities for its meetings and in opening their homes to its members ; to the local 
committee for well planned arrangements and to the young ladies of the department 
of Domestic Science for a very enjoyable demonstration of their abilities in preparing 
a,nd serving a banquet. E. W. Rockwood,

SPECIAL RESOLUTION. 
Whereas, We have learned with deep regret that Mr. P. M. Witter, County Super- 
intendent of Schools of Muscatine, Iowa, deems it necessary to withdraw from active 
participation in the work of the Academy ; and 
Whereas, Professor Witter, as one of the founders, as third President, as an 
Indefatigable contributor to the Proceedings, and always as an enthusiastic member, 
exerted a notable influence in establishing the Academy on a Arm foundation ; therefore 
be it 
Resolved, That the name of F. M. Witter be retained permanently on the roll of 
Fellows as long as he may continue a resident of Iowa ; and be it further 
Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed, in case of the removal of Mr. Witter 
from the State, to transfer his name to the list of Corresponding Fellows without 
further action by the Academy.
