Minutes of Forty-second Annual
Meeting 631
MUSEUM COMMITTEE
(1) The Committee
desires to extend SPECIAL invita-
tions to certain cities and communities
to visit the Museum on
certain week days or Sunday afternoons.
(2) The
Committee suggests that the Library retain the
use of the south rooms of the main
building for the present, and
suggests that the present Board of
Directors' Room and Director
Mills' Office Rooms be set aside and
fitted up for special exhibits.
Director Mills and Curators Shetrone and
Hine will explain
the need for separate suitable rooms.
The reports of Director Mills, Curator
Shetrone, Curator
Hine and others will no doubt cover all
other items concerning
the Museum.
(Signed) GEORGE F. BAREIS, Chairman.
PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
This committee has not met since the
last Annual Meeting
of the Society, but some important items
may be reported at this
time.
Several thousand copies of Scenic and
Historic Ohio have
been distributed in the State. The
largest demands for these
come from Automobile Clubs, Schools, and
County Agricultural
Agents.
The Diary and Letters of Rutherford
B. Hayes, in five sub-
stantial volumes numbering over 550
pages each, edited by the
late Charles Richard Williams, has been
published by the Society.
An ample index of 57 pages, by Lucy E.
Keeler, concludes the
last volume of this important work.
The General Assembly, at its recent
session, appropriated
money to publish, in two volumes,
uniform with the "Diary and
Letters" in typography, paper and
binding, the Life of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, by the late Charles Richard Williams. These
volumes are to be printed from plates
originally used by Hough-
ton, Mifflin and Company, and later
presented to the Society by
Colonel Webb C. Hayes.
Within the year there has been
published, under the direction
of the Secretary, a neatly illustrated
pamphlet, entitled, Ohio
State Archaeological and Historical
Society -- Notes on Present
Activities, Past Achievments and
Future Prospects." This
pamphlet is conveniently available for
use in the membership cam-
paign soon to be inaugurated.
Some unusual delay has been occasioned
in the issue of the
