came too late to be of use. So far no advice has been received that there will be similar free travel for the Hobart meeting. Fulbright Act. In discusing the paragraph in the Standing Committee's Report dealing with the Fulbright Act, Professor Richardson maintained that New Zealand, by the inaction of those who should have been alive to the responsibilities laid on them, had lost much of value under the Fulbright Act Lease-Lend Agreement. He urged that the restricting time limit imposed on benefits to accrue from the Act be not lost sight of, and on his motion, seconded by Dr. Salmon, it was resolved: “That the New Zealand Government be urged to take all immediate and necessary steps to set up a committee to co-operate and co-act in connection with the operation of the Fulbright Act.” Overseas Meetings. It was noted that many Government representatives were attending overseas conferences and meetings, and it was resolved: “That the Government be asked in future to consider the possibility of sending an additional representative to such conferences to be selected from non-Government sections.” On the motion of Professor Richardson, seconded by Mr. Willett, the Report of the Standing Committee was adopted. The meeting adjourned for luncheon provided for visiting members by the President. Afternoon Session. Roll Call. The following were present: Dr. R. A. Falla, Mr. F. R. Callaghan, Dr. G. Archey, Mr. B. C. Aston, Dr. W. R. B. Oliver, Professor L. H. Briggs, Mr. A. T. Pycroft (Auckland), Professor L. R. Richardson, Dr. J. T. Salmon, Dr. C. M. Focken, Professor G. J. Williams, Mr. J. D. H. Buchanan, Dr. D. Miller, Mr. R. W. Willett, Dr. J. Marwick, and the Hon. Treasurer, Mr. S. Cory Wright. Fellowship Rules. A sub-committee set up by the Standing Committee reported that if the resolution passed at the last Annual Meeting to the effect that Hector and Hutton Medallists not already Fellows be automatically elected to the Fellowship were adopted, a contradiction in the rules would arise. A letter from the Wellington Branch opposing the resolution was also read. Some discussion ensued and the proposer and seconder of the resolution stated that the possibility of such a contradiction had not been foreseen. On the motion of Dr. Marwick, it was resolved that the following motion passed at the last Annual Meeting be rescinded: “That there be added to Clause 6 of the Fellowship Rules a sub-clause (2): Any person not already a Fellow who is awarded the Hector or the Hutton Medal shall have the Fellowship conferred on him on the day of the award if, after the current election of Fellows, a vacancy exists or otherwise when a vacancy next occurs.” Number of Fellows to be Elected in 1949. It was resolved that four Fellows be elected in 1949.
