“The five members of the Executive Committee elected in February, 1887, 
shall forthwith draw lots for terms of one, two, three, four and five years, 
respectively, and the terms for which those drawing the two, three, four and 
five years, respectively, were elected, are hereby extended to cover those 
periods—and hereafter at each annual election one member shall be elected 
to serve for five years.” February 14 
- Choate moved that it is the sense of the conference committee that the 
Museums ought to be opened on Sunday afternoons during the present 
year and that the Trustees should accept the additional appropriation 
for that purpose made by the City authorities. Mr. Choate afterwards 
offered the following amendment to the resolution: 
“RESOLVED, That in the opinion of the Trustees it is not advisable to 
open the Museum on Sunday until suitable arrangements for that purpose can 
be made with the public authorities. 
“RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee be instructed to confer with 
the Department of Parks and with the Board of Apportionment with a view 
to such an arrangement.” March 21 
1889 
Choate and Mr. Dodge gave notice in writing that they should propose 
at the next quarterly meeting of the Board that Article 3 of the Consti- 
tution be altered so as to read as follows: 
“The Trustees shall meet quarterly, on the third Monday of every Feb- 
ruary, May, August and November, instead of the second Monday.”
