We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

REPORT OF CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS COMMITTEE I once made some suggestions which were promptly taken up by the President and I was made chairman of this committee. Our Constitution and by-laws, drawn up some time ago, are combined in one draft of many sections. Some of the committee feel that to conform to modern parliamentary usage, this should be somewhat rearranged, while others would like to see this very much modified. It has been impossible to make more than a report of progress, today, but with your permission, the committee will be glad to submit a report at the next convention which will set the constitution by itself, and the by-laws in regular order, including the amendments recently adopted. By fall, we hope to publish a revised constitution and bylaws, approved by the Board of Governors, with a view to its adoption by the members at the next meeting. W. C. Hubbard, Chairman 106
