Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  By- 
Laws,  presented  the  revised  Code  of  Ethics.  After  discussion  by  several  of  the 
members,  it  was,  on  motion,  ordered  to  lie  over  for  action  at  the  meeting  in 
December  next. 
In  this  connection,  it  was  stated  that  the  last  revision  of  the  Code  of  Ethics 
was  made  about  1840. 
Mr.  George  M.  Beringer,  for  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  By-Laws, 
read  a  proposed  addition  to,  the  By-Laws,  stating  that  some  of  the  members  be- 
lieved a  change  from  the  present  mode  of  electing  officers  and  trustees  was 
desirable,  and  that  the  Committee  had  been  asked  to  present  a  plan  for  the 
consideration  of  the  members. 
The  report  is  as  follows  : 
Proposed  new  By-Law  to  be  Article  VIII,  Section  19. 
A  Committee  on  Nominations  shall  be  appointed  annually  at  the  stated  meet-

than  two  of  these  shall  be  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  no  member 
shall  serve  on  this  Committee  for  more  than  two  years  consecutively. 
It  shall  be  the  duty  of  this  Committee  to  report  to  the  College,  at  the  semi- 
annual meetings,  one  or  more  names  for  each  office  to  be  filled,  and  for  Trustees 
at  least  one  name  more  than  the  number  of  vacancies  to  be  filled. 
The  Committee  shall  send  to  the  Secretary,  at  least  two  weeks  prior  to  the

sent  to  members,  and  also  the  names  of  the  proposers. 
The  nominations  may  be  reopened  on  the  day  of  election  by  the  vote  of  a 
majority  of  the  members  present. 
In  the  event  of  the  Committee  failing  to  submit  nominations  for  any  office, 
the  meeting  shall  nominate.
