The New York branch, organized in 1890, raised a scholarship of $200 in 1891, and since that time has always maintained one or more scholarships at the college; 1902, five scholarships, in 1903, six. Any former student, graduate or non-graduate, of any department of Vassar College, and any woman who is or has been a teacher in Vassar College, is eligible for active mem- bership. Any other woman, interested in the aims of the society, may, on the recommendation of the committee on ad- mission, together with a majority vote of the active members present, become an associate member.
