Dr. Baskerville reported that the Journal of the Elisha 

 Mitchell Society, published at the State University, might be

 dred dollars.

 tive committee in their meeting at Durham, Feb. 23, 1903, 

 somewhat revised, were adopted :

 privileges of the Academy. 



Relatives of members or others interested in Science may 

 become associates for the annual meeting upon payment of a 

 fee of one dollar. Associates receive the proceedings and are 

 entitled to all privileges of that meeting except voting and 

 holding office. 



SEC. 2. The annual dues for members shall be three dollars 

 and for associates one dollar, and any person in arrears at the 

 date of the annual meeting for the presentation of papers 

 forfeits all privileges of the Academy until the dues are paid. 



The following by-law was also adopted :
