i*ead. Accordingly, we will now receive the report of this com¬ 
mittee and lay it on the table until the others have been read, or 
discuss it now, as you desire. 
Dr. Griffin: I move that the papers be discussed as read. 
Seconded. 
Dr. Trumbower: Mr. President, there are a number of com¬ 
mittees to report and I fear if we discuss each as submitted we 
will not get through very early. Therefore I will oppose the 
motion, as I believe it will be better to take up the discussion 
after they have all been read. 
Dr. Clement: I think it will take no longer to discuss them 
now than later on. 
Dr. Faville: In that respect Dr. Clement is an interested 
speaker. I agree with Dr. Trumbower and think it better to re¬ 
ceive all the papers and discuss them as we see lit afterwards. 
The motion being put to a vote was lost and the discussion 
deferred. 
President Michener; I will next call for the report of the 
Treasurer.
