Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the South London Entomological Natural History Society: 1919-20, With Two Plates The Council of the South London Entomological and Natural History Society, in presenting the forty-eighth Annual Report have pleasure in stating that fifteen new Members have been elected during the year, but the Society has to deplore the loss by death of six members, viz., Messrs. Ashdown, WolleyDod, A. K. Inge, J. H. Leslie, Sydney Webb and Lord Walsingham; and there have been four resignations, the net increase, therefore, being five, leaving the present Membership at 3 Hon. Members, 6 Life Members, 21 Country, and 132 Ordinary Members, making a total of 162. The strenuous years of war, now happily passed, could not but have an adverse effect upon the finances of the Society, and in the early months of the past year, the newly-elected Hon. Treasurer reported that to fulfil the Society's obligations, not only had current income been expended, but that the reserves had been drawn upon almost to the extent of exhaustion, and that it would be impossible to continue the Society's publications unless further resources were forthcoming. The matter was taken up by some four of the older members of the Society, who formed themselves into an unofficial committee, and after fully considering the financial position decided as a nucleus for an "Entrance Fee and Life Membership Restoration and Publication Fund," to subscribe among themselves a sum of thirty pounds with a promise that if other members of the Society subscribed a similar amount among them, the committee of four would double the amount of their original subscription, making a total of ninety pounds in all. They stipulated that out of this sum the amount at credit of the Suspense Account (which represents the accumulated receipts from Entrance Fees and Life Membership Compositions), should be permanently invested in the names of the Trustees, as set out in Bye-Law chapter 8, section 7.
