The inceptive idea for the organization of a " Society of Colonial Wars," seems to have been born at about the same time in the minds of S. Victor Constant and Edward Trenchard. They concluded to broach the subject to others, and the first approached were Thomas Wain-Morgan Draper and Charles H. Murray. A preliminary meeting to discuss the proposed Society was held on July 10th, 1892, at the office of T. Wain-Morgan Draper, No. 45 Broadway, New York City. There were present Messrs. Constant, Trenchard and Draper. The next three preliminary meetings were held at the office of Mr. Constant, and from then on up to the First General Court of the Society, held at Delmonico's, December 19th, 1892, all meetings were held at the office of Hon. Charles H. Murray in the Boreel Building, 115 Broadway, New York City. The Society was instituted August 18th, 1892, and incorporated October 18th, 1892. The n imes of those who instituted the Society were : Nathan G. Pond, of Connecticut. Charles H. Murray, of JS'ew York. T. Waln-Morgan Draper, of New York. Satterlee Swartwout, of Connecticut. Frederick E. Haight, of New York. 13 E. C. Miller, of New Jersey. Samuel Victor Constant, of New York. Howard R. Bayne, of Virginia. Charles B. Miller, of New Hampshire. George M. Gumn, of Connecticut. These Gentlemen were the first Board of Managers, and of them the following were elected by the Board to serve as the first officers of the Society until December 19th, 1892. Hon. Charles H. Murray, Chairman. Colonel T. Waln-Morgan Draper, Secretary. Samuel Victor Constant, Treasurer. Frederick E. Haight, Registrar. The first decoration of the Society was a scar- let bow one inch wide, and of one-eighth of an inch ribbon, worn in the left lapel of the coat. Thirty- five of these were made for the Society by Mrs. T. Waln-Morgan Draper, and worn till the present rosette and insignia were adopted. The General Society of Colonial Wars was organized on May 9tli and 10th, 1893, in the Gov- ernor's Room, City Hall, New York, by Delegates from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massa- chusetts, Connecticut and the District of Columbia. The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Colorado was instituted on April lOtli, 1896, at the office of Austin Goddard Gorham, 606 Boston Building, Denver, Colorado. The National Society granted the State a Charter at Philadelphia, Pa., May 7th, 1896. It was organized on May 22nd, 1896, in the Reception Room of His Excellency 14 Govenor Albert W. Mclntyre, at the State Capitol in Denver, and was incorporated on June 9th, 1896. The names of those who founded the Society were: Arthur Smith D wight, Member New York Society. T. Waln-Morgan Draper, Pounder and Life Mem- ber New York Society. John Franklin Spalding, Member New York Society. Maury Nichols, Member New York Society. John Wright Barrows. George Webster Peirce. William Garrett Fisher. Nathan Franklin Trumbull. Joseph Nickerson Baxter. Austin Goddard Gorham. Benjamin Bowden Lawrence. Clifton Sharp Thompson. Edward Lowell Kelly. Edward Darwin Upham. Prior to the founding of the Society, Mr. Arthur Smith Dwight had been acting as tem- porary Secretary for Colorado, under instructions from the National Society. The First Court of the Society was held at the State Capitol, Denver, on May 22nd, 1896. The First Business Court of the Society was held at the Society's Rooms in the Boston Build- ing, Denver, on November 16th, 1896. The First General Court and Annual Dinner of the Society was held at the Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, on the evening of December 19th, 1896. The Second Business Court of the Society was held at the Society's Rooms on March 15th, 1897. 15 Constitution and By-Laws. CONSTITUTION. PREAMBLE.

The General Society at its meeting in Phila- delphia also adopted the following resolution: Resolved: That the Registrar General be authorized to charge a fee of one dollar for filing each application paper of new members of State Societies, and fifty cents for each supplementary paper." The Society's Home is at Room 605 Boston Building, where is its Library. 39 Members are earnestly requested to donate or loan to the Society, books, documents, papers, maps and pictures bearing on American History, Family Genealogy, and Biography. This Library is a public one, in the sense that any respectable person may come to it, to consult its contents, but no books or papers may be taken from the room, under any circumstances. The Library and its contents are under the care and charge of the Committee on Historical Documents. 40 Qualifications for Membership.

As supplemental to the directions of Article 17 of the constitution, the General Council respect- fully recommends, for the sake of uniformity, the following for the guidance of members of the Society throughout the United States. 1. The rosette should be worn in the left lapel of the coat, but never in the overcoat. Where members belong to several orders or socie- ties having rosettes, choice should be made of one rosette; more than one should never be worn at a given time. It is proper to wear rosettes with ordinary house or street dress. No rosette of any order or society should ever be worn at the same time with insignia. 2. Members of the Society may wear the in- signa on the left breast as prescribed in the Con- stitution. But it is recommended that when the insignia of this Society is used together with the insignia of other orders or societies, the regul- ations of the United States Government for army officers be under stood as applicable to civilians also, as follows; "The badges are to be worn on the left breast of the coat, the tops of the ribbons forming a horizontal line, the outer end of which shall be from two to four inches (according to the 44 height of the wearer) below the upper line of the shoulder." It may be added for information that the government regulations further provide that "the ribbons be suspended from a bar of metal passed through their upper ends, and attached to the coat." Such bars of proper pattern can be procured by individual application to the Bailey, Banks & Biddle Co., Chesnut and 12th Sts.,' Philadelphia, 3. Persons who are or have been State officers entitled under the Constitution, to wear the insignia suspended from a ribbon around the neck, are recommended for the dignity of the Society, to so wear it. But this ribbon should be used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In the case of a dress suit, the insignia should be drawn up to within an inch of the tie. In the case of a uniform it should hang close to the opening of the military collar. 4. Persons who are or have been General officers, or hold or have held such State offices as entitle them to wear the broad ribbon accross the breast, are reccommended for the dignity of the Society, to wear it. But this ribbon should be used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In case of a dress suit, it should be worn under the waistcoat; in case of a uniform, over the coat. It is recommended that the neck ribbon should not be used at the same time with the broad ribbon. When the latter is worn, the insignia may be sus- 45 pended from the left breast, or appended to the broad ribbon where the latter crosses the hip. 5. The General Council respectfully points out that the prestige and influence of the Society much depends upon the enthusiastic loyalty of the members everywhere to those great principals which look for origin to American colonial history. In the multiplication of patriotic societies repre- senting other periods and having different aims from those for which we stand, it is deemed pe- culiarly important that every member should possess, and should use on all suitable occasions the emblems and insignia of this society. It is hoped that members who way not have procured insignia already, will do so. It is desirable that care be evercised and effort made by all members to see to it, that in whatever makes for public recognition, this Society shall stand second to none. 46 THE LIBRARY OF THE SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS IN THE STATE OF COLORADO. {In charge of the Committee on Historical Documents.) The Library is in the Society's Room, 605 Boston Block, Denver, and is open to the mem- bers and the public every week-day. There are on the shelves some two hundred books, principally in the lines of Genealogy and American History, besides many pamphlets on the same subjects, and some half-dozen Genealogical- Historical monthly and quarterly journals. The room has been tastefully furnished by the Society and individual members. Especially noticeable is the large and valuable collection of Indian clothing and weapons contributed by Lieut. Maury Nichols. The collection occupies three sections of the wall, and is one of the best in the city. Several rare pictures and prints occupy other spaces, and the room, as a whole, presents an appearance in perfect keeping with the aims of the Society. 47 CATALOGUE OF BOOKS. GENEALOGY.
