At two o'clock in the evening, the business session of the Association
was held. From the Executive Council, there was presented a
recommendation for the following amendments to the constitution,
which, after some discussion, were adopted by the Association:

"fourteen," and to incorporate after the words "business
committee" therein the words "to fix salaries of employees." This
article would then read as follows:

Secretary-Treasurer, a Director and Editor, and an Executive
Council, consisting of the three foregoing officers and fourteen
other members elected by the Association. The Association shall
have three trustees, who ex-officio shall be the President,
Secretary-Treasurer, and the Director and Editor. It shall also
appoint a Business Committee to fix salaries of employees, to
certify bills, and to advise the Director and Editor in matters
of administrative nature. These officers shall be elected by
ballot through the mail or at each annual meeting of the
Association.
That Article V be amended so as to read as follows:
The President shall preside at all meetings of the Association
and of the Executive Council. He shall be ex-officio a trustee of
the Association, a member of the Business Committee and a member
of all standing committees. He shall perform such other duties as
may be required of him from time to time by the Executive Council
or by the Association.
In case of the absence of the President or his inability to act,
his duty shall be performed by the Secretary-Treasurer, who in
that event shall exercise any of the above mentioned powers of
the President. In case of the absence of both the President and
the Secretary-Treasurer, the duty of the President shall be
performed by the Director and Editor, who in that event shall
exercise any of the above mentioned powers of the President.
