Alpine Club of Canada

“ It is suggested to members who contemplate making trips in the Canadian Rockies for the purposes above named, that they should secure the services of those outfitters and guides who warmly supported the organization of the Club, and who gave their services and outfits free of charge to make a success of the first summer camp at the summit of the Yoho pass. That they are competent men is well illustrated by their splendid work at the camp. ”

“ All graduating members who attempt to qualify for active membership and reach 9,000 feet above sea level will be charged at the above rate.
All graduating members who fail to reach 9,000 feet above sea level, and all persons other than members, will be charged at the rate of two dollars ($2.00) per day.
The altitude of the camp is 6,000 feet above sea level.
Active members are privileged to bring their wives or husbands, who will be charged at the rate of two dollars ($2.00) per day. Otherwise, except in the case of the press, it is necessary to be a member of the club to attend the camp. ”

“ Every nomination for membership must be made by not less than three members of the Club. Such nomination, with a statement of the qualifications of the proposed member, shall be submitted to the Executive Board, which shall pass upon the eligibility of the candidate. A ballot containing the names of such candidates as have been approved by the Executive Board, together with a statement of their qualifications and the names of their sponsors, shall be sent by the Secretary to each Active member. ”

“ The sphere of action of the Club shall not be confined to Canada alone, but may extend to all the high mountain ranges of the world, and one of the objects of this organization shall be to obtain information concerning other alpine regions and to come closely in touch with those who are interested in all such matters. ”

“ Subscribing members are those who wish to keep in touch with the Club by receiving its reports and other literature. They have no other privileges. Active members pay $5.00 annually, or $50.00 for a life membership. We have one life member—Professor Herschel C. Parker of Columbia University. The annual fee for graduating and subscribing members is $2.50 and $2.00 respectively. The Constitution provides for a summer camp in some strategic place, where graduating members may qualify for active membership, and all except subscribing members may foregather for climbing and mountain study. ”

“ Active members may obtain life membership by the payment of fifty dollars, and shall thereafter be exempt from the payment of all dues.
Associate Members. Those who are unable to qualify as Active members, but, owing to the objects of the Club, desire to affiliate therewith and lend a helping hand towards its maintenance.
Graduating Members. Those who desire to become Active members, but are not yet qualified. ”

“ A library or libraries shall be established where the publications of the Club and books, maps, photographs and works of art relating to mountain scenery shall be gathered together and filed for the use of its members. ”

“ Seven Active members shall constitute a quorum of the Club for the general transaction of business, and three members of the Executive Board shall constitute a quorum of that Committee for the general transaction of business. ”

“ Ascents: More than one hundred and ninety mountain ascents in Enrope, Canada, New Zealand and Japan; the following are the principal: In the European Alps—Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa, Lyskamm, Dom, Matterhorn, Weisshorn, Jungfrau, Dent Blanche, etc. In Canadian Rockies, Main range—Victoria, Lefroy, Temple, Stephen, Balfour, Assiniboine, Fay, Gordon, etc. In the Selkirks—Sir Donald, Dawson, Bonney, Rogers, Swiss Peak, etc. ”

“ We hope that the library will be augmented during the current year, by many valuable additions, and that the Club will enact some legislation by which these books may be made accessible to members, such as the establishment of a library building at a suitable point in the mountains. ”

“ The Alpine Club of Canada will always be glad to give information to parties desirous of visiting the Canadian Rockies for the purpose of camping, hunting, fishing, exploring, or viewing the scenic splendors of the region. It will also place such parties in communication with reliable outfitters and guides, a number of whom are connected with the Club. ”

“ The encouragement of the mountain craft and the opening of new regions as a national playground.
(e) The preservation of the natural beauties of the mountain places and of the fauna and flora in their habitat. ”

“ No lady climbing, who wears skirts, will be allowed to take a place on a rope, as they are a distinct source of danger to the entire party. Knickerbockers or bloomers with puttees or gaiters and sweater will be found serviceable and safe. ”

“ The plan of arrangement by colors, much simplifies the grouping of specimens collected, and the indexing under both English and scientific names renders identification easy. The book fills a long-felt want by those who are not scientific, and Mrs. ”
