/ At the banquet of the academy, which
was served Friday evening, about 100
/ guests We're in attendance. The BUSH
/ ness sessions were also largely attend
ed. Papers by all the leading scientific
men of the state were read, covering all
manner of scientific research.
Heretofore these papers have beer
4 printed in a biennial report. The
/ academy is now planning to have this
/ report issued annually. The matter
was discussed at some length at the
/ convention, and it was decided to leave
+ further consideration to the executive
committee. consisting of the president,
secretary and treasurer It is thought
]
lowed the academy by the state viii be
| sufficient to admit of the publication OF
an annual report.
The academy is also figuring on re-
| printing some OF the early reports OF
the academy proceedings which are out
| of print and are becoming very scarce
! These early reports are in great demand
/ from scientific libraries all over the
| world, and there are about half q
dozen of the early volumes which car
j no longer be supplied. It Is thought
| that in a volume of about 400 pages al
/ these old volumes can be reprinted
BY charging an admission fee for new
+ members, ana annual dues for all mem
bers, the academy has accumulated {
fund of about $500 which may be useC
fort the purpose Of reprinting these
print volumes.
It is by means of the system of ex
changes with other scientific publica
lions that the academy is collecting it:
library. 1t sends out its reports anC
receives other scientific books. Thes'
exchanges are carried on with countries
in all parts of the world, some of tn
volumes coming from Turkey, Russii
and other far distant lands.
The selection of the time and plac
| for the next annual meeting was left t.
! the executive committee.
