OHIO STATE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL

SOCIETY ANNUAL BUSINESS SESSION

10:00 A.M., APRIL 24, 1942, OHIO

STATE MUSEUM

 

The Fifty-sixth Annual Meeting of the Ohio State Archaeo-

logical and Historical Society convened in the auditorium of the

Museum at 10:00 A.M. on April 24, 1942. Mr. Arthur C. John-

son, President of the Society, called the meeting to order.

President Johnson, in his brief introductory remarks, re-

ferred to the small attendance caused, no doubt, by the fact that

the Society had met jointly with the Ohio Academy of History

earlier in the month. He suggested that the reading of the

minutes of the last annual meeting be dispensed with since they

had been printed in the QUARTERLY which had been sent to all

members. He called attention to the expiration of the terms of

three members of the Society's Board of Trustees, Judge Carl V.

Weygandt, Dr. Carl Wittke and Mr. Oscar F. Miller, and he

appointed Mr. Harry Goodbread, Professor T. N. Hoover and

Mr. Eugene Rigney as members of a committee to nominate

successors to fill these vacancies.

At this point Mr. John F. Carlisle moved that the next item

of business be consideration of the proposal to amend the Society's

constitution, since Dr. George W. Rightmire, chairman of the

committee in charge of the voting on this proposal, had to leave

early to teach a class. This motion, seconded by Professor T. N.

Hoover, was unanimously passed.

President Johnson then authorized the distribution of the

ballots to members. Following this was a discussion by members

as to certain points in the proposed constitution. President John-

son urged that all members vote and that there be no change in

the wording of the constitution as submitted, since this would be

unfair to members who had voted by mail.

Mr. Carlisle moved that the proposed constitution be returned
