MEMBERSHIP. 
17. A candidate for Membership must be proposed by two 
members, and must sign a written application for election and an 
agreement to be bound, if elected, by the Memorandum and 
Articles of Association. This application shall be brought before 
the Board at their next or some subsequent meeting, and the 
Board may admit the candidate as a member. Such admission 
together with the payment of proper subscription, will con- 
stitute membership. In case of serious misconduct his expul- 
sion must be determined by a vote of two-thirds of Members 
present at a General Meeting called for the purpose. 
18. The annual contribution of every member of the Insti- 
shall be five dollars. This amount shall be payable on election 
and on the 24th day of May in each year : Provided that 
Members elected after the 30th November in each year shall 
only pay one half the above sum until the ensuing 24th of May, 
upon which the full annual amount of contribution will become 
due and payable. No member whose annual contribution is in 
arrear for more than six months shall exercise any of the privi- 
leges of membership until he has paid up all contributions due 
by him. 
19. Subscribers of £25 will be entitled to a life membership, 
and subscribers of smaller sums to proportional jmivilege. This 
will be retrospective in all cases where claims are recognized 
within six months of the date of the opening of the Institute. 
20. A member must give notice to the Secretary one month 
before the expiration of his subscription year of his wish to 
retire, or he will be liable for the subscription for the ensuing 
year. Having given such notice and paid up all contributions 
due by him he shall no longer be a member of the Institute.
