Mr. C. W. Justice, Chairman of the
Committee on

During the past year the following
members of our Society
have passed away:
Dr. N. B. C. Love, Perrysburg, December
29, 1922.
Mr. Spencer B. Newberry, Bay Bridge,
November 28, 1922.
Mrs. S. E. Reynolds, Eaton, April 5, 1923.
Hon. Daniel J. Ryan, Columbus, June 15, 1923. Mr. Ryan
was Vice President of the Society at the
time of his death.
Mr. R. C. M. Hastings, Columbus, April
13, 1923.
Mr. W. D. Brickell, Columbus, August 7,
1923.
Dr. R. S. Dunlap, Columbus, January 20, 1923.
Mr. Martin B. Bushnell, Mansfield, May
1, 1923.
Mr. W. H. Rayner, Springfield, June 26,
1923.
On motion the report was received and
ordered
placed on file.
President Campbell stated that three
Trustees
692
Ohio Arch. and Hist. Society Publications
should be elected, to succeed Dr. W. O.
Thompson,
Colonel Webb C. Hayes and General
Edward Orton
Jr., whose terms expire. Mr. George F.
Bareis moved:
That Dr. W. O. Thompson, Colonel Webb
C. Hayes
and General Edward Orton, Jr., be
elected Trustees to
succeed themselves. The motion was
seconded and
carried.
Professor W. H. Siebert stated that the
President
of this Society, the President of the
University, and
the Historical Department of the
University joined two
years ago in extending an invitation to
the American
Historical Society, requesting that
organization to meet
in Columbus this year. Shortly after
Christmas they
will hold their annual meeting in
Columbus. Cities all
over the country bid for the meetings
of the American
Historical Association. At their
meeting two years ago,
in St. Louis, a tentative vote favored
Columbus for the
meeting this winter. At the New Haven
meeting that
vote was confirmed. Wherever the American
Historical
Society meets the Mississippi Valley
Historical Society
meets, and the Political Science
Association generally
meets in the same city. It is
understood that the Po-
litical Science Association will meet
here this coming
summer. It is customary for local and
state associa-
tions to extend hospitality, and it is
hoped the Trustees
of The Ohio State Archaeological and
Historical Society
will take action, either at their
annual meeting or some
meeting in the near future, appointing
a committee,
with the President as Chairman, ex
officio, with power
to act in making arrangements, in
co-operation with the
local committee, for such courtesies as
it may be thought
best to extend to the members of these
several Societies
when they come here, on the Thursday,
Friday and
Minutes of the Annual Meeting 693
Saturday after Christmas. That meeting
is the great-
est meeting of historians in the
country, and their ses-
sions will be open to the public, there
will be plenty of
newspaper publicity, so that all will
know when the ses-
sions occur.
Professor Siebert moved: That the
Chairman ap-
point a committee of five, with power
to act, in making
proper arrangements to extend
hospitality to the Amer-
ican Historical Society and the Ohio
Associated Socie-
ties when they meet here in December.
The motion was seconded by Mr.
Galbreath.
Professor Siebert explained that the
Associated So-
cieties mentioned are a part of the
American Historical
Society, and that the motion therefore
covers only the
American Historical Society.
The motion was carried.
The Chairman appointed as the Committee
the fol-
lowing members of this Society:
Dr. W. H. Siebert, Dr. W. O. Thompson,
Professor
Carl Wittke, General Edward Orton, Jr.,
and Mr. C. B.
Galbreath.
Dr. W. O. Thompson stated that he would
have to
withdraw from the meeting, and wished
to make a re-
quest that some time be given to the
matter of the his-
torical work at Spiegel Grove and the
question of an
editorial force in connection with the
QUARTERLY. He
stated that he would be glad to
introduce a motion if it
were a proper time, but did not want to
delay and get
into a discussion. He stated that some
one would pre-
sent the question in his own name, or in
the name of
Dr. Thompson if desired.
President Campbell at this point called
upon Gov-
ernor A. V. Donahey, who was present,
and responded
