180 AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS. 
the membership at large; suppose it is desired to make a change in one or two names, or 
suppose the membership at large does not like any names on the list.” 
The next section provides an adequate method to take care of such a contingency, so if 
the membership is not satisfied with the nomination made by the Executive Committee, then 
an independent ticket can be sent to the secretary, who must send it to the entire member- 
ship, which can vote for either ticket as it pleases. 
ArTICLE [V—Section 5 (b), to read: 
“An independent nomination for Council Members may be made in writing by not less 
than thirty Members and Associates, of which number at least two-thirds must be Members, 
and if such nomination is received by the Secretary prior to September 15, ballots shall then 
be prepared by him, containing the names of those thus nominated, and these ballots shall also 
be mailed to the membership. 
“(c) Each member may vote for not more than six Members and three Associates, 
and each Associate may vote for not more than three Associates to be Council Members. 
“The ballots shall be returned to the Secretary and canvassed by the Council at its 
meeting just prior to the annual general meeting of the Society; and the six Members of the 
Society and the three Associates receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared 
elected Council Members. 
“(d) A vacancy in the office of Council Member shall be filled by the Council for the 
unexpired term. 
ARTICLE V—Management, to be amended to be—‘‘ArtIcLE V—Officers,” and to read 
as follows: 
“1. The Officers of the Society shall consist of a President, Past Presidents, Honorary 
Vice-Presidents, twelve Vice-Presidents and a Secretary and Treasurer.” 
THE PRESIDENT :—The wording as to the election of the President is identical with the 
present Constitution and is put in this proposed amendment to make the paragraph com- 
plete. The old Constitution put the officers and Members of the Council under one article, 
while the proposed amendment makes two articles. 
“2. Only Members and Associates of the Society are eligible for the office of President, 
Honorary Vice-President or Vice-President.” 
THE PreEsIDENT:—In the paragraph about Honorary Vice-Presidents, to be read in a 
moment, there is a change. At present the Honorary Vice-Presidents are chosen only from 
the Vice-Presidents. Under the proposed amendment, Members of the Council who have 
served twelve years, as well as Vice-Presidents who have served twelve years, will be eligible 
for election as Honorary Vice-President. 
“3. (a) At its meeting just prior to the annual general meeting of the Society held in 
the year with which the term of the President expires, the Council shall nominate a candidate 
for the office of President whose name shall be presented to the Society at the said annual 
meeting. ‘ 
“(b) The nomination of any other candidate signed by at least sixty Members and 
Associates, of which number at least two-thirds must be Members and submitted to the Sec- 
retary prior to the annual meeting, shall also be presented.
