Garden Membership 
Reorganization of the Institute —An outline of the reorganiza- 
tion, in January, of the Brooklyn Institute, especially as it affects 
the Garden, was given in the Recorp for July. As there noted, 
the new constitution, adopted on January 14, provided for sev- 
eral classes of membership including benefactors, patrons, donors, 
permanent members, life members, sustaining members, and an- 
nual members. 
Members Enrolled —The Garden’s canvass for members, in- 
augurated in April by the mailing of invitations, resulted in the 
enrollment of three life members, ten sustaining members, and 
sixty-seven annual members, in addition to thirteen sustaining 
memberships taken out through other Departments, and entitled 
thereby to full privileges of Garden members.
