The Board of
Managers shall have power to discipline, suspend or expel any enrolled
member, including life members of the Society; provided that a member
against whom a complaint shall be made of conduct unworthy of a member
shall have received at least thirty days’ notice of such a complaint,
and of the time and place fixed by the Board of Managers for the hearing
of the same, and shall have been afforded an opportunity to be heard
by himself or counsel; and provided further, that the action
of the Board in all such cases shall be final, unless an appeal is taken
to the Society within thirty days after the notice of such action is
given to the offending member. In the event an appeal to the Society
shall be taken, a special meeting of the members shall be called to
pass upon and decide the case. The decision of the Society thereupon
shall be final. The dismissal, cashiering or dishonorable discharge
from the military or naval service of the United States, or the conviction
in a court of justice of any criminal offense of any enrolled member
of the Society which shall involve moral turpitude, shall constitute
ipso facto expulsion.
The Board of
Managers shall also have the power to drop from the roll the name of
any enrolled member of the Society who shall fail to pay his annual
dues for the current fiscal year by the last day of July and who, on
notice to pay the same, shall fail and neglect to do so within thirty
days thereafter. Upon being thus dropped, his membership shall cease
and terminate, but he may be restored to membership at any time by the
Board of Managers on his applications therefore, and upon his payment
of such arrears and annual dues as the Board of Managers deems proper.
