 life members of the Association be 

 taxed 81. pO per year for the Alumni 

 Journal. 



Alotion was made, seconded and car- 

 ried that the previous motion be tabled 

 for future consideration. 



Considerable discussion took place 

 when the President announced that over 



700 members, whose arrears in dues 

 ranged from $12 to $22, were still 

 retained on the active membership 

 list, and received regular communi- 

 cations. He suggested that a com- 

 mittee be appointed to look over 

 the membership list; to make an 

 attractive proposition to delinquents 

 whereby with the payment of a nominal 

 sum these members be reinstated, and 

 to so act as to ultimately get into shape 

 a correct, reliable, active membership 

 list. 



Motion was made, seconded and car- 

 ried that a committee be appointed for 

 the purpose of revising the membership 

 list. 



The President appointed Messrs. 

 Ettinger, Steffens and A\'eil as members 

 of that committee with the treasurer and 

 secretary as ex-officio members. 



Xo post card notices of the meeting 

 were sent out to the members this month, 

 the notice being published in the 

 Alumni Journal. This procedure 

 worked quite well, since it drew a fair- 

 sized meeting and did away with the 

 considerable expense entailed in the 

 mailing of the postals. For these rea- 

 sons, it was suggested that this procedure 

 be tried again. 



The President is selecting the Nomi- 

 nating Committee. 



The following bill was presented and 

 ordered paid: 

 J. & J. W. Williams $10.92 



Motion was made, seconded and car- 

 ried to adjourn. 



Leo Roon, 



Secretary.
