not to be found in the 1941 Resolution.

CHANGES AUTHORIZED BY THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.

be printed in the large format in which the REPORTS AND MEMORIALS
and the PROCEEDINGS had appeared, or whether the traditional format
should be retained. It was agreed to defer decision in this matter

temporarily.

AUTHORIZED BY THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION, it was agreed that the
members of the Board would be assigned certain sections of the HAND BOOK
for the purpose of reviewing resolutions of the Cleveland Convention per-
taining to these sections and calling the attention of the Commission at its
next meeting to any changes that would be required in the HANDBOOK.

-It was agreed that the Secretary might be excused from accepting such an

assignment.
