made by the Council to the Union, and the affirmative votes of three- 

 fourths of the Fellows present were necessary for election. The estab- 

 lishment of this class was the result of several proposals to increase the 

 number of Active Members (now known as Fellows) and to provide some 

 form of recognition of the more active workers among the Associates. 

 Fifty-three Members were at once elected and thirteen more in the fol- 

 lowing year. 



Although the list was never filled the limit was increased to 100 in 1906 

 and at the San Francisco meeting, in 1915, Members were given the right 

 to vote for the election of officers, Members, and Associates. As a result 

 the business sessions have since been well attended. The list has now 

 reached 80 the largest number since the class was created. In addition 

 16 others have been promoted to the class of Fellows, 13 have dropped out, 

 and 11 are deceased, making a total of 120 persons who have thus far 

 qualified as Members. Not more than five can now be elected at any one 

 meeting and this limitation with losses through promotions, resignations, 

 and deaths, makes the increase rather slow. Even if the maximum 

 number are elected at each meeting the present limit is not likely to be 

 reached for several years. — T. S. P.
