12. In cases where a man resides in a region covered by a Section 

 of the Society, it is desired to have his name passed upon by the Sec- 

 tion as a whole rather than by a few individuals in it before being sub- 

 mitted to the Council for action. In cases where this is not done, the 

 Section will ordinarily be asked by the Council for an expression of 

 ophiion. Nominations by Sections should be accompanied with infor- 

 mation as to the number of votes cast for and against each candidate 

 and, preferably, with reasons for any negative votes. 



13. Former members of the Society, whether or not in good stand- 

 ing at the time of their separation from it, must be re-elected accord- 

 ing to the usual procedure after referring their names to all Senior 

 Members and Fellows for comment or protest. The re-election of 

 former members who were dropped for non-payment of dues will not 

 become effective until they have paid the Society the amount of their 

 arrears at the time of their separation from it. 



M. The names of candidates for admission to the Society will be 

 published under the grade for which they are proposed by their en- 

 dorsers. The Member of the Executive Council in Charge of Ad- 

 missions may suggest to a candidate's endorsers any change in grade 

 that appears to him advisable, but has no authority to make such 

 change on his own initiative. 



15. Candidates for Senior Membership may be elected by the 

 Council to Membership if in its judgment they do not qualify for the 

 higher grade. In all other cases where the Council believes that a 

 candidate should be elected to a different grade than that for which 

 he has been proposed, it will take the matter up with his endorsers with 

 a view to having the original nomination changed. Actual election to 

 the new grade will not take place until the man's name has been pub- 

 lished ds a candidate for it and opportunity for comment or protest 

 thus offered to all Senior Members and Fellows. 



16. Since it is impossible for the Executive Council to meet for the 

 discussion of candidates, its first ballot on each candidate is regarded 

 as final only when it is unanimous. In case any diiTerence of opinion 

 develops as to the grade to which a candidate should be elected, a 

 second ballot is taken. This second ballot is regarded as final unless 

 it develops some new point of importance which has not previously
