Amendments to the Constitution were made, according to the directives in Article V, following the tabulation of mail ballots sent to all voting members on September 14, 1954. Amendments to the By-Laws were approved by a vote of the members present at the Business Meeting, Memphis, Tennessee, November 6, 1954. It will be noted that the present Articles XI–XIV of the By-Laws are not italicized, since the numbers only were changed to permit insertion at the appropriate place of the new Article X.
