At a meeting of the
Executive Council, in New York City, on the 11th of July last, requisites
for membership was one of the matters considered.
Article III of the
Constitution is as follows:
"Any male above the age of
twenty-one years, who has Scotch-Irish blood in his veins, shall be
eligible for membership in the Association."
In addition to this, it was
decided that each member should be required to pay annual dues of $2.00
upon entering the Society.
The payment of his dues
entitles each member to a copy of this volume, in paper covers;
thirty-five cents additional being required for a cloth-bound copy.
An Executive Committee of
nine members was appointed, and to them were delegated all the powers not
exercised by the Council.
At a meeting of the
Executive Committee, in New York City, on the following day, A. C. Floyd,
Lucius Frierson, and Robert Pillow were appointed a Committee on
Publication. The name of this volume was chosen, and plans for its
publication discussed.
The Secretary was
instructed to accept the cordial invitation of the Scotch-Irish of
Pittsburg to hold the next annual Congress of the Society in that city. |
