Mr. Winston then took the chair, and
Col. Saunders
made the following report and remarks: Mr. President and Fellow-members: Seven years ago acting under
authority from this Society conferred upon me at a meeting held in this Hall on
1 June 1868, I took from the muniment room the record of its constitution and
laws together with other valuable papers and manuscripts. Report was at once
made to the Executive officers of the State at
Raleigh and a military guard sent up here and
quartered in the college buildings. The military availed nothing however. Our
archives remained in my possession, and I have the pleasure of announcing to
you that at this moment they are still safe.
Today acting under the same authority and after having given full
notice of the time and the place of this the first meeting held since June
1868, I have called the Society to order, have appointed a President to hold
his office until a regular election can be held under the requirements of the
constitution, have initiated twenty-nine members, students of the University,
and have done such other things as seemed necessary to the well-being of the
society. You are now in a condition to proceed regularly under the constitution
in all the noble purposes for which the Society was established; nothing
therefore remains for me to do save to surrender to you formally the custody of
your records which have already been returned to the place from which they were
taken. And this I do with the strict injunction that they be well guarded.

And now, Mr. President and fellow-members, congratulating you upon
this happy occasion and praying God's choicest blessing for all time to come
upon our beloved Society, I surrender into its hands the authority it rested in
me seven years ago.
The Society then adjourned at 6½ o'clock.

Geo. T. Winston, Sec.
