In accordance with this announcement, the following persons assembled: Dr. Ira D. Cardiff, University of Utah; Geo. W. Bailey, Ogden High School; Dr. S. H. Goodwin, Procter Academy; A. O. Garrett, Salt Lake High School; E. M. Hall, L. D. S. University; R. S. Baker, Eureka High School; C. G. Van Buren, B. Y. U.; C. C. Spooner, Salt Lake High School; W. D. Neal, Salt Lake City; Miss Olive E. Peck, Mt. Pleasant; Junius Banks, Lehi High School; J. F. Rawson, Eureka High School and Fred Buss, B. Y. U. At this meeting it was decided to perfect the organization. A committee was appointed on membership, and another on constitution. The committees were instructed to report at a meeting to be called by the President pro tern, in Salt Lake City in April. Moved and carried that all present as well as any who should be present at the April meeting should be invited to enroll as charter members. The April meeting was held at the Packard Library Auditorium, beginning April 3, 1908. The committee on membership submitted a list of fifty-nine names of prospective members. The committee on constitution reported a draft for a constitution which after being acted on section by section was finally adopted. In all, three sessions of the first annual meeting were held. Since this time, the Academy has held an annual convention during April of each year, except that in 1913, two conventions were held, one in April, and one during the Christmas holidays and none the following April.
