Eleven men being interested in the organization of a Porcelain Section of the National Dental Association met to organize and to elect temporary officers to appoint a committee to draft a Constitution and Bylaws and to select a suitable name for the organization. A committee was also appointed to wait on the Board of Trustees of the National Dental Association to ask of and advise with them as to whether we can have permission to form a separate Section of the National Dental Association to be known as the Porcelain Section. Among other things it was decided that all new members were to be selected by invitation only and that a two thirds vote of the membership be necessary for the candidates election.
