 OF THE 
 
 General ^ocietp of tjje %om of tfje Eetjolutton. 
 
 IT BEING evident, from a steady decline of a proper cele- 
 bration of the National holidays of the United States of 
 America, that popular concern in the events and men 
 of the war of the Revolution is gradually declining, and that 
 such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse 
 of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from 
 foreign countries, as to the neglect on the part of descend- 
 ants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty in keep- 
 ing before the public mind the memory of the services of 
 their ancestors and of the times in which they lived; there- 
 fore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been 
 instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, in the 
 military, naval, and civil service of the Colonies and of the 
 Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the 
 independence of the country, and to further the proper cele- 
 bration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, 
 and of prominent events connected with the war of the Revo- 
 lution; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, rec- 
 ords, and other documents relating to that period; to inspire 
 the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit of their 
 forefathers; and to promote the feeling of friendship among 
 them. 
 
8 
 
 The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, 
 which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in 
 their respective By-Laws, and oftener if found expedient; 
 and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution of 
 the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for 
 carrying them into effect adopted. 
 
 The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose 
 a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a 
 Treasurer, a Chaplain, and such other officers as may by 
 them respectively be deemed necessary, and a Board of 
 Managers, to consist of such officers, and other members, as 
 may be provided by their respective Constitutions and By- 
 Laws, all of whom shall retain their respective positions until 
 their successors are duly chosen. 
 
 Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annually 
 or oftener to the other State Societies a circular letter calling 
 attention to whatever may be thought worthy of observation 
 respecting the welfare of the Society or of the general union 
 of the States, and giving information of the officers chosen 
 for the year; and copies of these letters shall also be trans- 
 mitted to the General Secretary to be preserved among the 
 records of the General Society. 
 
 The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting 
 their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the 
 Society; judge of the qualification of their members or of 
 those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the pro- 
 visions of this Constitution; and expel any member who, by 
 conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by 
 any opposition to the interests of the community in general 
 or of the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy 
 to continue in membership. 
 
 In order to form funds that may be respectable, each 
 
9 
 
 member shall contribute upon his admission to the Society 
 and annually thereafter, such sums as the By-Laws of the 
 respective State Societies may require; but any of such State 
 Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships by 
 the payment of proper sums in capitalization, which sums 
 shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the income 
 only of which shall be expended. 
 
 The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held 
 every three years, and special meetings may be held upon 
 the order of the General President or upon the request of two 
 of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist of the 
 General Officers and a representation not exceeding five dep- 
 uties from each State Society, and the necessary expenses of 
 such meeting shall be borne by the State Societies. 
 
 At the regular meeting a General President, Vice-Presi- 
 dent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant 
 Treasurer, and Chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of the 
 votes present, to serve until the next regular general meet- 
 ing, or until their successors are duly chosen. 
 
 At each general meeting the circular letters which have 
 been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be con- 
 sidered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to the 
 general welfare of the Society. 
 
 The General Society shall have power at any meeting to 
 admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine 
 all questions affecting the qualifications for membership in or 
 the welfare of any State Society as may by proper memorial 
 be presented by such State Society for consideration. 
 
 Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of 
 good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military, 
 naval, or marine officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, in actual 
 
IO 
 
 service, under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies or 
 States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining always 
 loyal to such authority; or a descendant of one who signed 
 the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as a member 
 of the Continental Congress or of the Congress of any of the 
 Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by or under 
 the authority of any such legislative bodies, actually assisted 
 in the establishment of American Independence by services 
 rendered during the war of the Revolution, becoming thereby 
 liable to conviction of treason against the government of 
 Great Britain, but remaining always loyal to the authority of 
 the Colonies or States, shall be eligible to membership in the 
 Society. 
 
 The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the 
 General Secretary a list of the members thereof, together 
 with the names and official designations of those from whom 
 such members derive claim to membership; and thereafter, 
 upon the admission of members in each State Society, the 
 Secretary thereof shall transmit to the General Secretary 
 information respecting such members similar to that herein 
 required. 
 
 The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a badge 
 suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold; the badge to be 
 elliptical in form, with escalloped edges, one and one-quarter 
 inches in length and one and one-eighth inches in width; the 
 whole surmounted by a gold eagle with wings displayed, 
 inverted; on the obverse side a medallion of gold in the 
 centre, elliptical in form, bearing on its face the figure of a 
 soldier in Continental uniform, with musket slung; beneath, 
 the figures 1775; the medallion surrounded by thirteen raised 
 gold stars of five points each upon a border of dark blue 
 enamel. On the reverse side, in the centre, a medallion cor- 
 responding in form to that on the obverse, and also in gold, 
 
II 
 
 bearing on its face the Houdon portrait of Washington in 
 bas-relief, encircled by the legend, "Sons of the Revolu- 
 tion;" beneath, the figures 1883; and upon the reverse of the 
 eagle the number of the badge to be engraved; the medal- 
 lion to be surrounded by a plain gold border, conforming in 
 dimensions to the obverse; the ribbon shall be dark blue, 
 ribbed and watered, edged with buff, one and one-half inches 
 wide, and one and one-half inches in displayed length.

 Society may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon 
 around the neck.

 tary, who shall issue them to members of the Society under 
 such proper rules as may be formulated by the General Soci- 
 ety, and he shall keep a register of such issues wherein each 
 insignia issued may be identified by the number thereof. 
 
 The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths 
 inches in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a Min- 
 ute-man in Continental uniform, standing on a ladder leading 
 to a belfry; in his left hand he holds a musket and an olive- 
 branch, whilst his right grasps a bell-rope; above, the 
 cracked Liberty Bell; issuing therefrom a ribbon bearing the 
 motto of the Society, Exegi monumentum are perennius ; 
 across the top of the ladder on a ribbon, the figures 1776; 
 and on the left of the Minute-man, and also on a ribbon, the 
 figures 1883, the year of the formation of the Society; the 
 whole encircled by a band three-eighths of one inch wide; 
 thereon at the top thirteen stars of five points each; at the 
 bottom the name of the General Society, or of the State 
 Society to which the seal belongs. 
 
13 
 
 On occasions other than the meetings for any stated pur- 
 pose or celebration, members may wear a rosette of the pre- 
 scribed ribbon and pattern in the upper button-hole of the 
 left lapel of the coat. 
 
 The Treasurer shall procure and issue the rosettes to
