Report was at once made to the Executive officers of the State at <name key="name0000934" reg="Raleigh, NC" rend="" type="place">Raleigh</name> 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.</p> <p> 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 <name key="name0001146" reg="University of North Carolina" rend="yes" type="organization">University</name>, 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. </p><pb n="4" id="unc09-81-p04"/> <p>And now, Mr. President and fellow-members, congratulating you upon this happy occasion and praying <name key="pn0000589" reg="God" rend="yes" type="person">God</name>'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.</p> <p>The Society then adjourned at 6½ o'clock.</p> <closer> <signed> <name key="pn0001488" reg="Saunders, William Laurence " type="person">W.
