Snow said that before proceeding with the reorganization she wanted to know whether the young ladies wished to be organized and if so to make it manifest; the vote being unanimous, it was then moved, seconded and carried that Miss Ellen Ricks be appointed president, and Misses Sarah J.

She enjoined upon them punctuality in attending their meetings, and to be united together in whatever they undertook. [. . .] [p. 150]
