tuition was adopted, in which the OBJ

lows;
The object of this Organization
is the fostering Of good will and 30
ciability among its members the
perpetuation Of the traditions Of II
linois, and the cultivation Of sucn
loyalty and love to Florida as our
fathers gave to Illinois.
Another paragraph Of interest Is
this: THE executive board shall
each year designate a date for the
annual reunion Of this organization
and shall appoint such committees
as may be necessary 10 arrange for
such reunion"
The date Of Illinois Day, therefore
has not been set, but it will, nc
doubt, be decided upon soon.
When the question Of dues was
brought up, 1t was thought best to
set small sum, in order that the
expense Of Illinois Day might not
fall too heavily upon few. Twenty
five cents annual dues was the
amount agreed upon. and the pay
ment of this amount and the sign
ing Of the constitution admits one
to membership in the organization
providing he or some member Of his
immediate family has resided in II
lineis,

follows:

ecutive board, which will set The
date for illinois Day and appoint the
