THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GENERAL SOCIETY It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper cel- ebration of the National holidays of the United States of America, that popular concern in the events and men of the War of the Eevolution 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 im- migration from foreign countries, as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Kevolutionary heroes to per- form their duty in keeping before the pubUc mind the memory of the services of their ancestors and of the times in which they lived; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Eevolution has been instituted to perpetu- ate the memory of the men, who, in the mihtary, naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the Inde- pendence of the country, and to further the proper cele- bration of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washing- ton, and of prominent events connected with the War of the Revolution; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records 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. The General Society shall be divided into State Socie- ties, 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. 6 Constitution of the General Society. The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Eeg- istrar, a Treasurer, a Chaplain and such other officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, and a board of managers, all of whom shall retain their re- spective positions until their successors are duly chosen. Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annually or oftener to the other State Societies, a circu- lar 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 transmitted to the General Secretary to be preserved among the records of the General Society. The State Societies shall regulate all matters respect- ing their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the Society; judge of the qualification of their mem- bers or of those proposed for membership, subject, how- ever, to the provisions of this Constitution, and expel any member who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the community in general or of the Society in partic- ular, may render himself unworthy to continue in mem- bership. In order to form funds that may be respectable, each member shall contribute upon his admission to the Soci- ety, 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 sum» in capitalization, which sums shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the income only of which shall be expended.

SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE REVOLUTION In the State of Georgia. INSTITUTED MAY 22, 1891. CONSTITUTION. Preamble. Whereas, It has become evident, from the decline of proper celebration of such National Holidays as the Fourth of July, Washington's Birthday, and the like, that popular interest in the events and men of the War of the Revolution is less than in the earUer days of the Republic, and Whereas, This lack of interest is to be attributed not so much to lapse of time as to the neglect on the part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty of keeping before the pubhc mind the memory of the services of their ancestors, and of the times in which they lived, and of the principles for which they contended ; Therefore, the Society of the "Sons of the Revo- lution " has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men who, in mihtary, naval, or civil service, by their acts or counsel, achieved American Independence ; to promote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniversaries of Washington's Birthday, the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, the Fourth of July, the capitulations of Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal 12 Constitution Georgia Society evacuation of New York by the British Army on the 3d of December, 1Y83, as a rehnquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other prominent events relating to or connected with the War of the Eevolution ; to collect and secure for preservation the manuscript rolls, records and other documents, and memorials relating to that war ; to inspire among the members and their descend- ants the patriotic spirit of their forefathers ; to inculcate in the community in general sentiments of nationality and respect for the principles for which the patriots of the Eevolution contended ; to assist in the commemora- tive celebration of other great historical events of Na- tional importance, and to promote social intercourse and the feeling of fellowship among its members.
