CHARLES J. O'CONNOR. MARION C. EARLY. ST. LOUIS, MO., August 24, 1920. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 25, 1920. To the American Bar Association: The Executive Committee respectfully reports that under Article III, Section "d," of the Constitution providing for election of members between meetings of the Association, the committee has elected 778 members of the Association, upon nomination by a majority of the Vice-President and Local Council of the respective states. The Executive Committee has also, by virtue of authority conferred upon it by Article III of the Constitution, elected to honorary membership the Rt. Hon. Viscount Finlay of Nairn. Two meetings of the Executive Committee have been held in 1920, the first in Philadelphia, Pa., on January 8 and 9, and the second in Chicago, Ill., on April 8 and 9. Many matters of detail in the work of the Association were brought before and passed upon by the committee, as more fully appears from the minutes of those meetings. It is with profound sorrow that the committee reports the death of the faithful Secretary of the Association, George Whitelock. Up to a few days previous to his death, Mr. Whitelock fully expected to attend the meeting of the committee in Philadelphia, but he died while the meeting was in session. A resolution was passed (which is embodied in the report of the Committee on Memorials) and the committee adjourned out of respect to his memory. At its next session on January 9, the committee elected W. Thomas Kemp Secretary for the unexpired term. A large amount of work has been done during the year by the Executive Committee and by special committees appointed by the President looking to a change in the policy, scope and character of the AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION JOURNAL. The result of these labors will be apparent in the copy of the new JOURNAL which will be submitted to the members at this meet |
