Kegttlatuma for Selecting; an* Printing

reato before t&e Clttb

All papers printed by the Club shall be issued separately in small volumes, or booklets, uniform in size and in the very best style so far as paper, press-work, and the general make-up are concerned. In other words, the books in their outward appearance, as well as their subject matter, must be creditable to the Club and such as to please book-lovers.

II.

The volumes shall be charged to subscribers at actual cost.

III.

No more copies shall be printed than actually subscribed for, except ten copies for the Club 5 34 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

for its library, or for exchange, or such other disposition as may be ordered, and five copies for the author, in each instance, or seven should he desire to take out a copyright. In every volume issued shall appear a statement of the number of copies comprising the edition.

IV.

is desirable to have illustrated ; but in all such cases subscribers shall be invited to express their preference before the additional expense of illustration is incurred.

The selection of papers to be printed shall be made by a Committee on Publications to consist of three members, who shall be appointed each year by the President of the Club.

VI.

Recognizing the fact that many of the papers read before the Club are on themes of transient SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 35 interest, or such as to interest but few of our are in such members ; and that others prepared haste that their authors would not care to have that it is desirable to make them printed ; and the standard of papers "printed by the Club as high as possible, the Committee shall not au- thorize the printing of more than seven in any one year, unless the conspicuous merit of a larger number and the abundant subscriptions received shall make it appear unquestionably wise to do so. They shall be under no obligation to au- thorize the printing of any greater number than they see fit. VII.

In making their selections the Committee shall be guided by the expressed wishes of the members present when the papers are read before the Club, but shall be free to disregard such expres- sion concerning any paper they may deem un- worthy of the imprint of the Club. Slips shall be provided upon which the members present at any meeting of the Club may vote in favor of printing the paper to which they have just lis- their ballots in- tened ; but they must sign and dicate the number of copies they will subscribe for in case the Committee decides favorably, and a sufficient number of subscriptions is received to bring the cost within the limit. A locked box or boxes shall be provided in the Club rooms in which these ballots be or may deposited ; they 3 6 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB may be sent to the Chairman of the Committee after the meeting, to facilitate which a supply of ballots shall be sent to each Resident member. The result of the ballot shall in all cases be kept secret by the Committee.

VIII.

In form the ballots shall be substantially as follows :

CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB.

To THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS: In my opinion the paper by which was read at the meeting on at which I was present, should be printed by the Club. If it should be decided to print it, I hereby subscribe for it cop , being understood that the price will not exceed seventy-five cents per copy.

CHICAGO 189 ..

IX.

At such intervals as may be convenient, say every two or three months, if the Committee has selected any paper or papers to be printed, they shall send a circular to all the members of the Club inviting subscriptions therefor, in addition to those already received. They shall not au- SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 37 thorize the printing of any pap^r unless sufficient subscriptions shall have been received to bring the cost within the stipulated limit. When any paper is finally ordered printed, the members of the Club shall be notified either upon the regular weekly postal cards or otherwise, and the subscriptions shall thereafter be considered binding.

In future a copy of every paper read before the Club shall be preserved in its archives. It is therefore recommended that the authors be requested to place their manuscripts in the hands of the Secretary, who shall cause type-written copies to be made upon paper of uniform size, suitable for binding into quarterly or half-yearly volumes such to be done at ; copying the expense of the Club. .

mo fafot* tfj* Club

II.

The volumes shall be charged to subscribers at actual cost.

III.

IV.

The books shall be issued in paper wrappers, and the cost shall not exceed seventy-five cents each. No book shall be printed unless enough subscriptions have been received to bring the cost within that sum. Exceptions as to the cost may, however, be made in the case of papers which it is desirable to have illustrated ; but in all such cases subscribers shall be invited to express their preference before the additional expense of illustration is incurred.

The selection of papers to be printed shall be made by a Committee on Publications to consist of three members, who shall be appointed each year by the President of the Club.

VI.

Recognizing the fact that many of the papers read before the Club are on themes of transient SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 35 interest, or such as to interest but few of our that others are in members ; and prepared such haste that their authors would not care to have

that it is desirable to them printed ; and make the standard of papers printed by the Club as high as possible, the Committee shall not au- thorize the printing of more than seven in any one year, unless the conspicuous merit of a larger number and the abundant subscriptions received shall make it appear unquestionably wise to do so. They shall be under no obligations to au-_ thorize the printing of any greater number than they see fit. VII.

In making their selections the Committee shall be guided by the expressed wishes of the members present when the papers are read before the Club, but shall be free to disregard such expres- sion concerning any paper they may deem un- worthy of the imprint of the Club. Slips shall be provided upon which the members present at any meeting of the Club may vote in favor of printing the paper to which they have just lis- their in- tened ; but they must sign ballots and dicate the number of copies they will subscribe for in case the Committee decides favorably, and a sufficient number of subscriptions is received to bring the cost within the limit. A locked box or boxes shall be provided in the Club roomsSn which these ballots be or may deposited ; they 36 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

follows :

CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB.

To THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS:

In my opinion the paper by , which was read at the meeting on at which I was present, should be printed by the Club. If it should be decided to print it, I hereby subscribe for it that cop , being understood the price will not exceed seventy-five cents per copy.

CHICAGO,

IX.

At such intervals as may be convenient, say every two or three months, if the Committee has selected any paper or papers to be printed, they shall send a circular to all the members of the Club inviting subscriptions therefor, in addition to those already received. They shall not au- SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 37 thorize the printing of any paper unless sufficient subscriptions shall have been received to bring the cost within the stipulated limit. When any paper is finally ordered printed, the members of the Club shall be notified either upon the regular weekly postal cards or otherwise, and the subscriptions shall thereafter be considered binding.

In future a copy of every paper read before the Club shall be preserved in its archives. It is therefore recommended that the authors be requested to place their manuscripts in the hands of the Secretary, who shall cause type-written copies to be made upon paper of uniform size, suitable for binding into quarterly or half-yearly at volumes ; such copying to be done the expense of the Club.

In other words, the books in their outward appearance, as well as their subject matter, must be creditable to the Club and such as to please book-lovers.

II.

The volumes shall be charged to subscribers at actual cost.

III.

No more copies shall be printed than actually subscribed for, except ten copies for the 34 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

Club for its library, or for exchange, or such other disposition as may be ordered, and five copies for the author, in each instance, or seven should he desire to take out a copyright. In every volume issued shall appear a statement of the number of copies comprising the edition.

IV.

The books shall be issued in paper wrappers, and the cost shall not exceed seventy-five cents each. No book shall be printed unless enough subscriptions have been received to bring the cost within that sum. Exceptions as to the cost may, however, be made in the case of papers which it is desirable to have illustrated ; but in all such cases subscribers shall be invited to express their preference before the additional expense of illustration is incurred.

The selection of papers to be printed shall be made by a Committee on Publications to consist of three members, who shall be appointed each year by the President of the Club.

VI.

Recognizing the fact that many of the papers read before the Club are on themes of transient SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 35

and that it is desirable to make them printed ; the standard of papers printed by the Club as high as possible, the Committee shall not au- thorize the printing of more than seven in any one year, unless the conspicuous merit of a larger number and the abundant subscriptions received shall make it appear unquestionably wise to do so. They shall be under no obligations to au- thorize the printing of any greater number than they see fit.

VII.

In making their selections the Committee shall be guided by the expressed wishes of the members present when the papers are read before the Club, but shall be free to disregard such expres- sion concerning any paper they may deem un- worthy of the imprint of the Club. Slips shall be provided upon which the members present at any meeting of the Club may vote in favor of printing the paper to which they have just lis- but their ballots in- tened ; they must sign and dicate the number of copies they will subscribe for in case the Committee decides favorably, and a sufficient number of subscriptions is received to bring the cost within the limit. A locked box or boxes shall be provided in the Club rooms in 22 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

SEC. 3. Application for membership shall be in writing and signed by three members of the Club. The application shall state, in the blank form furnished for the purpose, the candidate's place of nativity, age, occupation, general qualifications, and, if a graduate of a college, the name of the college, and the year of his graduation; and that the proposers believe that the candidate desires to become a member of the Club.

VIII.

In form the ballots shall be substantially as follows :

CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB.

To THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS: In my opinion the paper by which was read at the meeting on at which I was present, should be printed by the Club.

If it should be decided to print it, I hereby subscribe for cop...., it being understood that the price will not exceed seventy-five cents per copy.

CHICAGO, 189 .

IX.

At such intervals as may be convenient, say every two or three months, if the Committee has selected any paper or papers to be printed, they shall send a circular to all the members of the Club inviting subscriptions therefor, in addition to those already received. They shall not au- SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 37 thorize the printing of any paper unless sufficient subscriptions shall have been received to bring the cost within the stipulated limit. When any paper is finally ordered printed, the members of the Club shall be notified either upon the regular weekly postal cards or otherwise, and the subscriptions shall thereafter be considered binding.

In future a copy of every paper read before the Club shall be preserved in its archives. It is therefore recommended that the authors be requested to place their manuscripts in the hands of the Secretary, who shall cause type- written copies to be made upon paper of uniform size, suitable for binding into quarterly or to half-yearly volumes ; such copying be done at the expense of the Club.

Regulations for Selecting and Printing Papers Read Before the Club

II.

The volumes shall be charged to subscribers at actual cost.

III.

No more copies shall be printed than actually subscribed for, except ten copies for the 32 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

IV.

The books shall be issued in paper wrappers, and the cost shall not exceed seventy-five cents each. No book shall be printed unless enough subscriptions have been received to bring the cost within that sum. Exceptions as to the cost may, however, be made in the case of papers which it is desirable to have illustrated ; but in all such cases subscribers shall be invited to express their preference before the additional expense of illustration is incurred.

The selection of papers to be printed shall be made by a Committee on Publications, to consist of three members, who shall be appointed each year by the President of the Club.

VI.

Recognizing the fact that many of the papers read before the Club are on themes of transient SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 33 interest, or such as to interest but few of the that others are in such members ; and prepared haste that their authors would not care to have

that it is desirable to make them printed ; and the standard of papers printed by the Club as high as possible, the Committee shall not au- thorize the printing of more than seven in any one year, unless the conspicuous merit of a larger number and the abundant subscriptions received shall make it appear unquestionably wise to do so. They shall be under no obligation to au- thorize the printing of any greater number than they see fit.

VII. In making their selections the Committee shall be guided by the expressed wishes of the members present when the papers are read before the Club, but shall be free to disregard such expres- sions concerning any paper they may deem un- worthy of the imprint of the Club. Slips shall be provided upon which the members present at any meeting of the Club may vote in favor of printing the paper to which they have just lis- tened their in- ; but they must sign ballots and dicate the number of copies they will subscribe for in case the Committee decides favorably, and a sufficient number of subscriptions is received to bring the cost within the limit. A locked box or boxes shall be provided in the Club rooms in 34 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB which these ballots be or may deposited ; they may be sent to the chairman of the Committee after the meeting, to facilitate which a supply of ballots shall be sent to each Resident member. The result of the ballot shall in all cases be kept secret by the Committee.

VIII.

In form the ballots shall be substantially as follows :

CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB.

To THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS: In my opinion the paper by which was read at the meeting on at which I was present, should be printed by the Club.

If it should be decided to print it, I hereby sub-

scribe . . . . it understood that for cop , being the price will not exceed seventy-five cents per copy.

CHICAGO 190

IX. At such intervals as may be convenient, say every two or three months, if the Committee has selected any paper or papers to be printed, they shall send a circular to all the members of the Club inviting subscriptions therefor, in addition to those already received. They shall not au- SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 35 thorize the printing of any paper unless sufficient subscriptions shall have been received to bring the cost within the stipulated limit. When any paper is finally ordered printed, the members of the Club shall be notified either upon the regular weekly postal-cards or otherwise, and the subscriptions shall thereafter be considered binding.

X. In future a copy of every paper read before the Club shall be preserved in its archives. It is therefore recommended that the authors be requested to place their manuscripts in the hands of the Secretary, who shall cause type- written copies to be made upon paper of uniform size, suitable for binding into quarterly or volumes to done half-yearly ; such copying be at the expense of the Club.

II. The volumes shall be charged to subscribers at actual cost.

III.

No more copies shall be printed than actually subscribed for, except ten copies for the 32 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

IV.

The books shall be issued in paper wrappers, and the cost shall not exceed seventy-five cents each. No book shall be printed unless enough subscriptions have been received to bring the cost within that sum. Exceptions as to the cost may, however, be made in the case of papers which it is desirable to have illustrated ; but in all such cases subscribers shall be invited to express their preference before the additional expense of illustration is incurred.

The selection of papers to be printed shall be made by a Committee on Publications, to consist of three members, who shall be appointed each year by the President of the Club.

VI.

Recognizing the fact that many of the papers read before the Club are on themes of transient SELECTING AND PRINTING PAPERS 33

interest, or such as to interest but few of the others are in such members ; and that prepared haste that their authors would not care to have them printed; and that it is desirable to make the standard of papers printed by the Club as high as possible, the Committee shall not au- thorize the printing of more than seven in any one year, unless the conspicuous merit of a larger number and the abundant subscriptions received shall make it appear unquestionably wise to do so. They shall be under no obligation to au- thorize the printing of any greater number than they see fit.

VII. In making their selections the Committee shall be guided by the expressed wishes of the mem-, bers present when the papers are read before the Club, but shall be free to disregard such expres- sions concerning any paper they may deem un- worthy of the imprint of the Club. Slips shall be provided upon which the members present at any meeting of the Club may vote in favor of printing the paper to which they have just lis- must their ballots and in- tened ; but they sign dicate the number of copies they will subscribe for in case the Committee decides favorably, and a sufficient number of subscriptions is received to bring the cost within the limit. A locked box or boxes shall be provided in the Club rooms in 34 CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB

which these ballots be or may deposited ; they may be sent to the chairman of the Committee after the meeting, to facilitate which a supply of ballots shall be sent to each Resident member. The result of the ballot shall in all cases be kept secret by the Committee.

VIII.

In form the ballots shall be substantially as

follows :

CHICAGO LITERARY CLUB.

To THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLICATIONS: In my opinion the paper by which was read at the meeting on at which I was present, should be printed by the Club.

If it should be decided to print it, I hereby subscribe for cop...., it being understood that the price will not exceed seventy-five cents per copy.

CHICAGO 190

X. In future a copy of every paper read before the Club shall be preserved in its archives.
