ARTICLE IX.

No alteration in the Constitution shall be made, unless the same shall

have been proposed at a Stated Meeting of the Society, held not less

than three months previous to the adoption of such alteration; and

no such amendment shall be adopted unless approved by the votes of

three-fourths of the members present.

The Secretary shall state on the notices of that meeting that an

amendment or amendments to the Constitution will be acted upon. All

other questions shall be decided, when there is a division, by a

majority of votes; in those where the Society is equally divided, the

presiding officer shall have the casting vote.
