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
