CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS. Xili 
4. The annual dues shall be payable in advance on the first day of January. The Secre- 
tary shall notify each member of the amount due for the ensuing year at the time of giving 
notice for the annual meeting. On notification of his election each member shall pay his 
entrance fee. If he desires to receive the published transactions of the Society for the meet- 
ing at which he is elected, he shall pay ten dollars in addition to the entrance fee. 
5. Members and Associates can compound for all future dues and become Life Members 
or Life Associates by making a single payment of three hundred dollars and signing an 
agreement to conform to any future amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws. 
6. Members are entitled to no return of fees upon severing their connection with the 
Society. 
7. Any member whose dues are more than three months in arrears shall be notified by 
the Secretary. Should his dues become six months in arrears he shall be again notified by 
the Secretary and his rights as a member suspended. Should his dues become one year in 
arrears the delinquent member shall forfeit his membership in the Society unless the Council 
may deem it expedient to extend the time of payment. 
8. The Council may, in its discretion, temporarily suspend the annual payment of dues 
by any member whose circumstances have become such as to make such payment impossible, 
and may, under similar circumstances, remit the whole or part of dues in arrears. 
9. No name shall be entered on the rolls as Member, Associate or Junior, nor shall the 
privilege of membership be enjoyed until the payments required in paragraphs 1 to 4 of this 
article have been made; if the payment be delayed for more than six months from the date 
of election, the same shall be void unless the Council otherwise direct. 
10. (1) Should the expulsion of any member be judged expedient by five or more mem- 
bers, they must draw up and sign a proposal requesting such expulsion, delivering the same 
to the Secretary, to be laid before the Council. 
(2) If the Council do not find reason to concur in the proposal, no entry thereof shall 
appear in the minutes, nor shall any public discussion thereon be permitted. 
(3) If, however, the Council find the charges contained in the proposal for expulsion 
substantiated, the accused member shall be notified and given an opportunity to resign. If 
he avails himself of this privilege, no entry shall be made on the minutes nor public discus- 
sion of the case be permitted. But if he declines to resign and offers no satisfactory explana- 
tion of the charge, the whole case shall be submitted to a special meeting of the Society. 
(4) If two-thirds of the members at this special meeting (providing there be not less 
than twenty present) vote for expulsion, the Chairman of the meeting shall cause the accused 
to be expelled from the Society and direct the Secretary to notify the accused of this action.
