represented. I wnuld not hold 1)_\- tlie aclinn lalcen ril ( )nialia, 

 and n(i\v move to amend the motion in sueh a wdx as to add lo 

 the eommiltee .Mr. 1 )ouretloure anil other mend)ers wIkj mav 1)C 

 iiii Paris. 



Cieneral llrvant: Professor IJir^-e. of W'iseonsin, will not he 

 able te> attend. 



Dr. James: I will aceept the amendment of .\lr. Llark. 



The I'resident : \'ou have heard the motion as amended, 

 and tlu- amendment has been accepted, that .Mr. Douredoure or 

 any other mend)ers of this Society who may be present in Paris 

 dnrini^- the International Fisheries Cong-ress, be added to the 

 committee ap]K)inte(l at ( )maha to attend this congress. 



.\b)tion carried. 



The I'resident: I did not think, when 1 snj.i"i;este^l that the 

 committee on entertanmicnt meet aft.r din.ner to re])ort. that it 

 is rather desirable for the members representing commercial 

 hatcheries to know as early as possible in order that they may 

 make arrangements at the other end. 1 suggest that the com- 

 mittee meet such representatives on the piazza and decide 

 at once what trip we will take, so we can act on it right here. 

 Have you any other business at this present time? If not, I have 

 another matter to present. It was suggested by one of the mem- 

 bers who jomed the Societv today, that we have a pro\'ision for 

 life membership. A great many ])eopie object to paying one 

 tiollar a year: the}' will neglect paying one dollar a year much 

 more cjuickly than if it were $io. It seems to me that we coidd 

 anund the constitution, and I see that we can do so bv a two- 

 thirds vote. I will read article 2 of the constitution. 1 was 

 going to suge:est that it might be pr(~)]x-r to add this to article 2 

 as section 2, wdiich shall read: 



"Anv person shall, u])on a t^'.o-tliirds \-ole, and the pay- 

 ment of $15.00, become a life member of this Societ}'. and 

 shall thereafter be exem])t from all annual dues." 



-Mr. Clark: I move that the constitution l)e amended as 

 sui?-t?-csted b\ the President.
