Report of Nomenclature Committee, Mr. C. F. Jenkins, Chairman.
Mr. Jenkins stated that no report would be presented at this time, owing to the fact that no new developments had occurred.
Mr. Richardson requested a discussion on the standards as published in the Montreal Transactions.
This suggestion was put to vote and it was decided to discuss the matter.
Mr. Richardson called attention to a number of errors and terms in the nomenclature list as published in the Montreal Transactions. He claimed that as printed the terms employed were entirely at variance with established usage by him and other writers.
Mr. Perkins suggested that the list for nomenclature be referred to some new committee for correction.
Mr. Jenkins stated that no terms had been adopted without authorities first having been consulted in the matter, and he thought that the difference of opinion between Mr. Richardson and himself might be due to the fact that one thing may sometimes be called by two different names.
Dr. Kellner desired to know when such a word as optience should be used. He wanted to know when an audience ceased to be an audience and when it commenced to be an optience. Since there would be both music and pictures he had some difficulty in deciding whether he was one or the other.
Mr. Porter explaining how it came about that the cut of the standard theatre film did not appear in the Montreal transactions. It was due to an oversight.
Mr. O'Brien suggested that a committee be appointed at this meeting to take action on the subject.
Mr. Victor made a motion that a conmiittee be appointed to separate the list of nomenclature into its different branches, and that these lists be referred to the committees dealing with that particular subject and then referred back to the nomenclature committee. The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. Mr. L. C. Porter desired to make the following amendment to the motion made by Mr. Victor ; that any terms, standards, or recommendations proposed by the nomenclature committee be submitted to the Society as a whole at the next convention for consideration, and that final decision be delayed until the next succeeding convention, at which time an approval or rejection by the entire body shall be made.
This amendment was seconded and carried.
