196 CONSTITUTION OF THE N. Y. ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 
ARTICLE XI. 
* No alteration shall be made in this Constitution, unless by 
a vote to that effect of three-fourths of the fellows and three- 
fourths of the resident members entitled to vote under Arti- 
cle V. 
1 This clause must be taken in connection with Section 5 of the Char- 
ter, which requires a previous request in writing of one-third of all the 
resident members (which must be considered in this case as including 
fellows, as that class of members was not in existence at the time the 
Charter was granted), submitted one month previous to any vote being 
taken.
