A list of the officers follows, beginning with the ex-president, Morris Kahane, the president, Philip Roth, vice-president, Benjamin Steinberg, other officers, trustees, marshals, and a list if eleven ex-presidents, including both Morris Kahan and Philip Roth. The verso states that the constitution is dedicated to the deceased ex-presidents who strived with all their heart and strength to make this organization successful, William Roth and Meyer Nobler. The first article has four clauses, stating the name of the organization, that the duration of the society shall be perpetual, that its purpose shall be mutual aid, and that all business shall be conducted in the Jewish, English or German languages.
