APPENDIX

BY-LAWS
The following are the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts, which are here published by courtesy of the President of the Society. They take the place of the charter or constitution which in some states is necessary. They are included here as an example of the subjects to be covered in such cases, but could not be used without modification. It is the custom, and a very wise one, to have the director present at all meetings of the trustees, and at any meeting of a standing committee at which matters with which he is familiar are to be discussed. He should be thoroughly in sympathy with the trustees, and they with him, or the work cannot prosper.
