Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ohio Journal of Science, Vol. 20: Continuation of the Ohio Naturalist, Official Organ of the Ohio Academy of Science and of the Ohio State University Scientific Society, 1919-20
The following report of the Committee on Legislation was received and ordered filed.
Your committee appointed to consider the matter Of Legislation begs to report as follows: We find that a number of State Academies receive state support either in the form of publication funds, or support of secretaries or other activities. In all states where such support is in force there seems to be agreement as to the advantage of such support and the only argument opposed to the plan is the possible interference with the entirely inde pendent attitude Of the academies as to matters affecting state activity.
The committee recommends that legislation to provide the following lines of support be requested at the hands of the next session of the general assembly and that the Committee on Legislation be authorized to arrange for the introduction of the necessary bills and to meet any necessary expenses incurred in the proper attention to their con sideration.
First - A provision for the publication of the Proceedings of the Academy, preferably by the direct appropriation of an adequate sum for a creditable publication of not more than 500 pages per year, or. If necessary, as a part of the State printing.
