Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America, 1899 Society's existence, claims were often presented based on services rendered in States, in which as yet no local society had been formed, and, in passing upon such claims, no other guide was at hand than the somewhat general provisions of the Constitution. The Maryland Society has always endeavored scrupulously to maintain the standard set up by the National Society and by the local organizations composing it, and, in case of every application for membership, has rigidly adhered to the regu lations in force at the time such application was presented. It has, however, been considered unadvisable, in presenting this record of the qualifications of its members, to designate especially those cases which, in consequence of subsequent modifications in the eligibility lists, would not accord with the conditions existing at present. Such a procedure would seem to lend, to regulations more recently adopted, some thing oi the nature of an ex post facto operation, and might, it is feared, lead to unfair discrimination. At the same time, the Maryland Society, in thus defining its own position, expressly disclaims all desire to criticise the action of any of its sister societies in this particular, feeling confident that all alike are working in thorough harmony for the general welfare.
