Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Board of Directors of the Union League of Philadelphia: December 11th, 1865
The thanks Of the League are due to the Committee on Membership, for the care and fidelity with which they have discharged the responsible and not always pleasant duties entrusted to them. We doubt whether, consider ing the immense number of names submitted to this Committee, all of which required rigid scrutiny and un prejudiced decision, any similar body has discharged its functions with so much success and so little injustice to applicants as your Committee on Membership.
On the first of December, 1865, the League numbered seventeen hundred and sixty members on its roll. Of these six hundred and eighty-one were elected during the current year. We have to regret the loss Of twenty One members by death, thirteen by resignation, and nine teen have been dropped from the roll for non-payment of their annual dues. We trust that the members of the League will not relax in their efforts to recruit our ranks from among their loyal friends. And if possible to increase our numbers until they equal the capacity of our exten sive establishment.
