The first day of the procession was wholly taken up yesterday by the exercises of the Law School. After registering during the morning hours the graduates assembled toward noon to hold a business meeting.

The large lecture-room in Austin Hall was crowded with Law School graduates of all dates, as far back as the earliest years of the century, if one might judge from the many venerable heads that were the land marks of the assembled throng. Faces of young and old alike looked happy and pleased to be again re-united at the centre whence they all derived that knowledge which enabled them to enter upon their career.

Mr. Geo. A. Shattuck, chairman, called the meeting to order at 12.15.

The first business was an amendment of Article 3 in the Constitution, adopted Sept. 23, 1886, providing for admission of present members of Law School on their graduation and for the election of honorary members.

Following is the constitution:

I. The name of this Association shall be the "Harvard Law School Association."

II. The objects of this Association shall be to advance the cause of legal education, to promote the interests and increase the usefulness of the Harvard Law School, and to promote mutual acquaintance and good-fellowship among all members of the Association.

III. 1. All graduates and former members of the Harvard Law School may become members of this Association.

2. Every member shall pay an initiation fee of one dollar, and an annual fee thereafter of one dollar.

IV. The officers of the Association shall be a President, not less than ten, nor more than twenty, Vice-Presidents, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a Council of twelve members. The president, secretary and treasurer shall be ex-officio members of the council.

4. All officers of the Association shall hold their respective offices during the regular term thereof, and until their successors shall be elected and qualified.

The annual meeting of the Association shall be held at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the Tuesday preceding the Annual Commencement of Harvard College; provided, however, that the council shall have the power to appoint in any year a different time and place for the annual meeting if deemed expedient.
