- Editor's Notes
- re your favor of 16th, Lyon in his letter does not ask five hundred francs for three subsequent years; he merely invites TAE to become an honorary member. # But, in his circular No. 1, he asks from every member the above mentioned contribution; therefore: he expects the same contribution from TAE in case he should accept the Honorary Presidency. # This sum is not to be paid as a tax, but simply as a contribution to insure the success. # The idea is, that it would not be polite to request so great a man as TAE to pay the regular fee of membership like an ordinary individual, but, they arrange to accomplish the same thing by having him contribute as a free will offering the exact amount that ordinary individuals have to pay as a fee. # In short: to answer your question briefly : TAE must send them a check of five hundred francs to become one of the Honorary Presidents.
