The Treasurer was authorized to expend a sum not to exceed $200 for the opening of a set of double-entry books, this sum to include the honorarium of the Treasurer's assistant for the year 1911-1912.

It was voted to recommend to the Society the continuation of the BULLETIN and its establishment as a permanent institution.

On motion of Professor Magruder it was voted to recommend to the Society the addition to line 4, article 6, of the By-Laws the following: "except the volume of the Proceedings of the last convention, which shall be edited by the retiring secretary."

The Council received the report of the Program Committee to the effect that in the unanimous opinion of the Committee it is inexpedient to print the report of the Committee on Technical Books for Libraries, as it is practically impossible to do justice to the enormous number of technical books on the market.

A letter from Dean A. H. Fuller concerning certain statistics of sizes of sections, duties of instructors, etc., was referred to the Committee on Statistics.

Secretary.

SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1910-1911.

To the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education:

The work of the Secretary's department during the past year has comprised the following divisions:

a. Editing the Proceedings of the Society.

b. Publishing the Proceedings.

c. Maintaining a correct roll of members with addresses and publish

ing the same.

d. Conducting a continuous membership campaign.

e. Editing the Bulletin.

f. Publishing the Bulletin.

g. Miscellaneous correspondence.

h. Filing and arranging the Society's records.

PROCEEDINGS.

With the sanction of the Council the membership list was omitted from the Proceedings this year and the size of the volume was thus kept down. In addition the weight of paper was reduced for the same purpose. The size of type had been reduced the previous year. As a result the volume has been kept of convenient size although the amount of material contained is much greater than that of any preceding, except 1907. Many valuable contributions to the discussion were obtained after the meeting by means of the publication of papers in the Bulletin.

The publication of the Proceedings involved, among other items, an advertising campaign. All of the important libraries, about 1,100 in number, were notified of the appearance of the volume and a number of copies were sold. The sale of back volumes to members and others also was continued and with the sale of the current volume to outsiders formed a satisfactory source of income. In spite of the large sale, however, the total stock is much larger than last year. A large stock has been kept at the Secretary's office, but the main storage is at the printer's at Lancaster, Pa. The stock is fully insured.

MEMBERSHIP.

The gross increase of membership during the year has amounted to 211 (see appendix) exclusive of a long list of applications to be acted upon at the meeting. A very small number of resignations were received, but the Council will be obliged to drop a score or more for nonpayment of dues. The Secretary has been assisted in this work by a large membership committee with representatives from several different professions. Several members of the committee have rendered much assistance. By means of form and personal letters several thousand persons have been invited to join during the year. The membership passed the 1,000-mark" about March 1st. A number of members not on the membership committee have sent in applications. Their help has been greatly appreciated.

BULLETIN.

The editorial work has consisted in securing news of the colleges, in arranging the papers for publication, etc. A number of members agreed to act as correspondents and these have sent in numerous interesting news and other items.

The publication work has been greater than the editorial. Securing advertising support has presented some difficulties as advertisers are wary regarding new publications. Several advertisers, however, have stood by loyally and others are taking hold. Tables showing the record of the year's advertising are given in an appendix.

OTHER MATTERS.

During the year the various records of the Society have been gone over and all useless matter eliminated. An accession list of members from the beginning has been prepared with as accurate a record of withdrawals as it has been possible to make. Sectional filing cabinets of modern design have been procured and the property of the Society has been arranged for ready reference. A large room at the Secretary's residence has been fitted up for the Society's use and a stenographer is continuously employed in the many activities of the Society.

The correspondence involves the keeping in touch with other societies and the press, the arranging of details for the program and other committees, etc.

Respectfully submitted,
HENRY H. NORRIS,

Secretary.
