XIII. BESIGNATION OF MEMBERS. 



Any member whose dues have been fully paid may 

 withdraw from the Academy by a written resignation. 

 Non-payment of dues for one year or longer may be 

 treated as equivalent to resignation; but before any 

 member is dropped from the rolls for delinquency, he 

 shall be entitled to not less than four weeks' notice. 



XIV. EXPULSION OF MEMBERS. 



Upon the written request of five members, that, for 

 cause stated, any member be expelled, the Council shall 

 consider the matter, and if they deem it best, shall advise 

 the member that his resignation will be accepted. He 

 shall, however, have the right to demand and shall be 

 given a copy of the charges against him, and shall have 

 a reasonable time to present a written defense. The 

 Council may then pass finally upon the matter, and if 

 resignation has not been tendered, or a satisfactory de- 

 fense made, may by an affirmative vote of four of their 

 number expel the member, in which case they shall notify 

 him and the Academy of their action, and his name shall 

 be at once dropped from the list of members. 



XV. INITIATION FEES AND DUES. 



Annual dues shall be paid at the beginning of each 

 year. Resident active members shall pay annual dues of 

 six dollars, and non-resident active members shall pay 

 annual dues of three dollars. There shall be no initiation 

 fee. 



XVI. HONORARY MEMBERS AND PATRONS. 



Honorary members and Patrons shall be recommended 

 by the Council, and elected by the unanimous vote of the 

 members present at any regular meeting. 



XVII. PUBLICATIONS. 



Patrons, honorary members, and all active members 

 not in arrears shall be entitled to one copy of all the 

 publications of the Academy issued subsequent to their
