its rights vest in a reorganized Educational
Alliance. It was also agreed that the new
Alliance should undertake the work of the
Young Men's Hebrew Association, and also
such other work as might be determined upon,
and exercise absolute control over the build¬
ing, subject only to such rights as the Hebrew
Free School Association and the Aguilar Free
Librar}^ Society had therein, and to the right
of these societies to exclusively control the
work theretofore carried on by them. It was
further agreed that these two societies should
primarily pay all their own expenses, and that
any deficiency in their income that might arise
in the prosecution of their work should be met
out of the general funds of the Educational
Alliance.

The outcome of these arrangements was the
present Educational Alliance. The agreement
which gave life to the reorganized society was
signed on May 4, 1893. It was therein pro¬
vided  that  the  "Educational Alliance  shall
 

forthwith become a membership society, to be
governed by twenty-one directors, five of whom
are to be elected by and from the directors of
the Aguilar Free Library Society, five by and
from the Hebrew Free School Association, and
the remaining eleven to be elected by the
members of the Educational Alliance, from
among its members. It is understood that the
Young Men's Hebrew Association may desig¬

for the first year, and that the eight directors
to be elected from the general body of the
Educational Alliance shall be chosen for the
purpose of organization, by the ten directors
named by the Hebrew Free School Association
and the Aguilar Free Library Society."
