2, 1902, the following
resolution was offered by the first vice-president, Mr. Glynn, and
adopted by the Commission:

_Resolved_, That the board of lady managers of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition shall consist of 24 persons, including those
heretofore appointed, together with Mrs. Daniel Manning, of
Washington, D.C.; Mrs. A.I. von Mayhoff, of Monticello, Va.;
and Mrs. Josephine Sullivan, of Providence, R.I.; also the two
additional members to be nominated by Mr. Allen.

_Be it further resolved_, That the appointments thus made now
fixes the membership of the board at 24, and that no vacancy
which may hereafter occur, on any account whatever, shall be
filled until the board is reduced below 21 members, and that at

raise $150,000--$50,000 of which should be applied toward the building
and $100,000 as a permanent endowment fund.

The meeting of the board of lady managers was called on November 17,
1902, pursuant to adjournment of the meeting of September 30, 1902, and
at that time the hall of philanthropy was fully considered, and the
above-mentioned proposition of the Exposition Company declined.

At the session held on the 19th of November a motion was made and
