ABSTRACT OF THE MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL
MEETING
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
OHIO STATE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL
SOCIETY
HELD APRIL 20, 1937
The regular annual meeting of the Board
of Trustees of the Ohio
State Archaeological and Historical
Society was held in conjunction with
the Annual Meeting of the Society at the
Museum and Library building in
Columbus, on April 20, 1937, at 1:00 P.
M. The meeting was attended by
Trustees Eagleson, Bowsher, Florence,
Goldman, Goodman, Miller, Parker,
Rightmire, Spencer, Spetnagel, Wittke
and Wolfe. Director Shetrone and
Secretary Lindley were also present. In
the absence of President A. C.
Johnson, Sr., Mr. Freeman T. Eagleson
presided. Mr. Bowsher, State
director of education, an ex-officio
member of the Board of Trustees also
represented Governor Martin L. Davey at
the meeting. Mr. Spencer of
Newark and Mr. Parker of Cleveland were
recently appointed trustees of
the Society by the governor of Ohio as
of February 18.
Minutes of the January meeting, which
had been sent to all Board
members, were approved.
Mr. Eagleson called for reports from the
Committee on the Classi-
fication of State Memorials and the
Committee on Recognition of the
Society by the State Legislature in
determining eligibility of prospective
archaeological and historical memorials
and the feasibility of charging ad-
mission to the more important State
memorials. Mr. Lindley informed the
Board that the chairman of both of these
committees, Mr. George B.
Smith of Dayton, was no longer a member
of the Board of Trustees and
that he had reported that the press of
business had not allowed him to
investigate these matters. Mr. Goldman
made a motion, seconded by Mr.
Wittke that the president be authorized
to fill the vacancies on these com-
mittees. The motion carried. Mr.
Shetrone made a brief statement con-
cerning the possibility of charging
admission to some of the large State
parks and he suggested that at the next
meeting he would probably have
more definite information. The president
appointed Carl Wittke and Robert
P. Goldman to fill these vacancies and
Oscar F. Miller was designated
chairman of the committee.
The secretary read a communication from
the attorney-general of
Ohio concerning the Elizabeth E.
McFarland estate at Oxford, Ohio, in
which he requested an expression of
opinion from the Board of Trustees
relative to a compromise settlement of
the estate.
The secretary reported the status of the
Senate Bill No. 150 which
provides for a definitive history of
Ohio. He suggested that the chair
appoint a committee of one to see that
the bill receive due consideration.
The chairman appointed a committee of
three consisting of Messrs. Good-
man, Wolfe and Wittke, and commissioned
them to enlist the support of
the governor in its favor.
Mr. Eagleson read a portion of a letter
from Mr. Arthur C. Johnson
concerning the possibility for the
establishment in the Museum Building
