AZTEC CLUB OF 1847Chronicle.

On the 13th of October, 1847, a-s soon as the UnitedStates Army was quietly established in the City of Mexico,a meeting of officers was called with a view of forming aClub and opening a club-house for the entertainment ofits members and their guests while in the city.

It is not known that any record exists of the early pro-ceedings of the Club thus formed, but the following wereamong the promoters or took an active part as club officersfrom the start

General Quitman, as President ; Captain J. B. Graysonand Colonel 1:. F. Smith, as First Vice-Presidents; Capt.J. B. Magruder, as Second Vice-President; Lieutenant R.P. Hammond, as Treasurer; Captain George Deas andLieutenant H. Coppee, as Secretaries.

The original home of the Club was the handsome resi-dence of Seiior Boca Negra, who had been formerly minis-ter to the United States from Mexico, and was located onone df the streets leading out of the Calle Plateros, andnot far from the headquarters of General Scott, Com-mander-in-Chief.On the 13th of January, 1848, a Constitution wasadopted and a new election was held. The initiation feewas made $20, payable in advance. General Winfield Scottand Chaplain John McCarty were elected honorary mem-bers.On March 3d, 1848, by resolution of the Club, a Con-stitution, with a list of the members, was printed at theoffice of the ''American Star," in the City of Mexico.A meeting of the Aztec Club was held in May, 1848,when it was determined that no satisfactory plan couldbe then proposed for continuing the existence of the Club,

10 AZTEC CLUB OF 1847.after returning to the United States; but, ''desiring topreserve some lasting memorial of the pleasure and ad-vantages derived from this institution that may serve forall time as an additional bond of friendship and brother-hood among its members/' it was

''Resolved, That the organization of the Club shall con-tinue with its present officers for a period of five yearsfrom the 14th September, 1847."

At the time of the withdrawal of the Army from Mex-ico the Club consisted of 160 members and 2 honorarymembers.

In 1852 an election of new officers was made accord-ingly, but no regular meeting of the Club took place untilSeptember, 1867, when officers were elected, a place andday for the next annual meeting named, a list of theoriginal members ordered to be printed and distributed,and a commemoration badge to be designed for trans-mission to living members and to the families of thosedeceased.

The action taken at this meeting was submitted to thesurvivors of the Aztec Club, and confirmed by the votesreturned to the Secretary.

At future regular meetings resolutions have beenadopted, in accordance with Article XII of the Constitu-tion of 1847, as follows:

In 187 1 it was decided to admit to membership officerswho may apply, having served in any part of Mexico dur-ing the war, after nomination and election by the Club.

In 1882 it was decided that officers killed in battle orwho died of wounds in Mexico before the formation of theClub might, upon application of a son or nearest bloodrelative, be admitted to the roll of membership, to be rep-resented by the son or nearest blood relative, after hisnomination and election by the Club.

Ill 1887 i^ was decided that officers now deceased whoserved in Mexico during the war, never members of the

In October, 1888, it was deemed proper, in view of theexpressed desire of the original Club, in May, 1848, "topreserve for all time some lasting memorial that may serveas an additional bond of friendship and brotherhood amongits members;" and the decided continuance of the AztecClub of 1847 ii^ "perpetuity," as expressed in the Consti-tution of 1887, and again in the revised Constitution of1888, that the Club should be known

ist. As the "Aztec Club of 1847."2d. That it is to be continued in "perpetuity."3d. That the basis of "membership" is personal service

in some part of Mexico, ''as an oMcer, during the zvar withthat country/' and

That the lists of members should embrace the namesof1st. All members admitted in Mexico in 1848.2d. All admitted and who may be admitted under

resolution of 1871.3d. All admitted and who may be admitted under

resolution of 1883.4th. All admitted and who may be admitted under

resolution of 1887.In 1889 the Constitution was altered by adding the

words "Navy or Marine Corps" after the word "Army,"in the second line of Article II, on membership, so as toread "as an officer of the Army, Navy or Marine Corps."
