Page 32, "Rules of Order" Literary Society Rule Book — Rules 67-75 (Amendments, Reconsidering and Rescinding)

This printed page from a literary society rule book outlines formal parliamentary procedures for amendments and reconsideration of motions. Small pocket rule books such as this one were common possessions among members of early 20th-century literary, debate, and fraternal societies, reflecting the era's emphasis on structured civic and social discourse. This example is preserved among the WWI-era letters and papers of Pvt. Willis W. Wagener. Project: 218129
