At the business session on Saturday morning the following 

 amendments to the Constitution were considered and adopted 

 unanimously : 



Section 3 was amended by making it read as follows : The 

 membership of the Academy shall consist of life fellows, fellows, 

 associates, corresponding fellows and honorary fellows. The fel- 

 lows and associates must be elected from residents of the state of 

 Iowa, the fellows being those that are actually engaged in scien- 

 tific work. A fellow moving to another state becomes thereby a 

 corresponding fellow. Honorary fellows shall be elected from 

 the productive scholars in science residing outside the state of 

 Iowa. All elections to membership shall be made at the annual 

 meeting. The assent of three-fourths of the fellows present is 

 required for the election of fellows and associates. An honorary 

 fellow must be nominated by ten fellows of the Academy. This 

 Domination, together with a record of the achievements in science 

 of the nominee, must be given the Secretary and by him sent 

 to each fellow previous to the annual meeting at which the elec- 

 tion occurs. A unanimous vote of the fellows present is neces- 

 sary for the election of an honorary fellow. 



Section 4 and its adopted amendments were amended by mak- 

 ing Section 4 read as follows : An entrance fee of $3.00 shall be 

 required of each fellow and an entrance fee of $1.00 from each 

 associate, and an annual fee of $1.00, due at each annual meeting 

 after his election, shall be required of each fellow, associate and 

 corresponding fellow. A person may become a life fell&w on the 

 payment of $15.00 after his election as a fellow, the transfer to 

 be made by the Treasurer. The said life membership fee shall 

 be invested and only the interest of the same shall be used for 

 current expenses of the Academy. Fellows, associates and cor- 

 responding fellows in arrears for two years and failing to respond 

 to notification from the Treasurer shall be dropped from the 

 Academy roll.
