Mr. Wagner read the report of the exchange committee. Upon mo¬ 
tion of Mr. Davis, it was voted that the report be accepted, the commit¬ 
tee continued, and that there be placed at the committee’s disposal such 
sum of money as the council may find it advisable to appropriate for 
such purpose. 
Upon motion of Mr. Davis, the librarian was made an additional mem¬ 
ber of the exchange committee. 
The following proposed amendment to the constitution, which had 
been proposed by five members, and notice of which had been sent to all 
members of the Academy more than one month before the present meet¬ 
ing, was then read by the secretary: 
“Article III, Section 4, is hereby amended by inserting the words “or 
the council” after the word “Academy” in the first line of said section, 
so that this section when amended shall read as follows: 
‘Active members shall be elected by the Academy or the council and 
shall enter upon membership on the payment of an initiation fee of two 
dollars which shall include the first annual assessment of one dollar. 
The annual assessment shall be omitted for the president, secretary, 
treasurer, and librarian during their term of office.’ ” 
After some discussion, the amendment was adopted by unanimous vote 
of the members present. 
The reading of papers was then taken up. 
During the reading by Mr. Kahlenberg of papers numbers 6, 7 and 11, 
the chair was occupied by Mr. Davis.
