The Immutable Principles

6 7

Ideals

Message from the President General

The following principles shall be immutable

and form the basis of the Society of the Cincinnati:

An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted

rights and liberties of human nature, for which they have fought

and bled, and without which the high rank of a rational being is

a curse instead of a blessing.

An unalterable determination to promote and cherish,

between the respective States, that union and national honor

so essentially necessary to their happiness, and the future

dignity of the American empire.

To render permanent the cordial affection subsisting among

the officers. This spirit will dictate brotherly kindness in all

things, and particularly extend to the most substantial acts of

beneficence, according to the ability of the Society, towards

those officers and their families, who unfortunately may be

under the necessity of receiving it.

The Society of the Cincinnati

Instituted May 13, 1783

I am pleased to present the first annual report of the Society of the Cincinnati. Our Society is the nation’s oldest hereditary society, as well as the oldest patriotic organization in the United States.We have a great historic mission to preserve the fellowship of the Continental army officers andtheir French allies, and through that fellowship to promote the memory of the American Revolutionand its heroes.

In the last year we have pursued that mission with new energy. Our Society leadership has beenunited in this shared effort. Under the guidance of our new executive director, Jack D. Warren Jr.,our staff has carried out an extraordinary array of programs aimed at advancing our mission. Most important of all, our members and friends have accepted the challenge to support these efforts though financial contributions and through their personal dedication to promote the highideals of our historic organization. To all of them, I offer my thanks and those of our Society.

Sincerely,

Robert Fillmore Norfleet Jr.President General

Greene, the comte de Rochambeau and the marquis de Lafayette—have already vanished. “We are raising,” David McCullough has reminded us, “a generation of historically illiterate children.”

The schools are only a part of the problem. What gets taught in our schools is a reflection of the preoccupations of adults. Our world seems to be changing so rapidlythat few of them can see how the struggles of a few thousand American patriots andtheir French allies can have any relevance for our time.

The Society of the Cincinnati, of course, does not see it that way. We believe that theAmerican Revolution was a central, transforming event in world history. We believe thatthe heroes of the Revolution built the foundation of the free society we enjoy today.We believe that their sacrifice deserves to be honored, remembered and emulated bypeople who cherish freedom. And we believe that forgetting that such a sacrifice isnecessary for the preservation of freedom puts that very freedom at risk.

Fortunately the members of the Society of the Cincinnati are not alone in holding theseconvictions. They are shared by many people and many organizations. Together ourefforts can recall our countrymen to the high ideals of our revolution and remind themof the men who fought to establish the modern world’s first great republic.

The work that we do at Anderson House is aimed at this high purpose. None of thiswork would be possible without the support of our members. They have provided anendowment that supports the administration of the Society and the annual gifts thatsupport the diverse programs we carry out.

Among the Society’s supporters, the most important remain Ambassador and Mrs. LarzAnderson. In the spring and summer of 2005 the Society celebrated the centennial ofthe completion of Anderson House with a series of events and an extraordinary exhibition commemorating the construction of this remarkable building and the equallyremarkable couple who gave it to the Society of the Cincinnati.

The 2004 Triennial Meeting of the Society of the Cincinnati in Newport, R.I.,approved several fundamental reforms aimed at making the General Society moreeffective at carrying out the historic mission of the Society to preserve and promotethe memory of the American Revolution. These reforms led to a reorganization ofthe staff of the General Society under the immediate supervision of an executivedirector with broad authority to manage the work of the Society under the guidanceof the president general of the Society and, through him, the Standing Committeeand Board of Directors.

The year that ended June 30, 2005, was the first year for the reorganized staff and my first year as executive director of the Society of the Cincinnati. There weremoments when I felt a real kinship with the inexperienced young officers of theContinental army, who were faced with new and often intimidating tasks. Like thoseyoung men, we have been sustained by the steady guidance of our senior officers.First among these has been our president general, Robert F. Norfleet Jr., who hasproved to be a most worthy successor to our first president general, GeorgeWashington. Like General Washington, he has been a patient teacher and a calmleader in moments of crisis.

We have one advantage over the officers of the American Revolution: No one is shooting at us. Our enemy is not an army vast and terrible. Our enemies areindifference and complacency—indifference to the memory of the AmericanRevolution and complacency about the security of freedom if our revolution fadesfrom memory.

Through most of the nineteenth century the Society of the Cincinnati slumbered.Several of the constituent societies dissolved and the others declined in membership. The Society was kept alive through those decades by a few determinedmembers. But there was no need for them to work sleeplessly to keep the memoryof our revolution alive. The memory of the American Revolution was cherished bythe American people. George Washington’s portrait was found in every schoolroomand in millions of homes. The heroic officers of the Continental army and theirFrench allies were celebrated across the country. Statues were erected in theirhonor. The names were synonymous with patriotism and virtuous self-sacrifice.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century we can no longer take for granted that the memory of the Revolution is cherished by our countrymen. We have abundant evidence to the contrary. George Washington is vanishing from our schoolrooms. Other heroes of the Revolution—men like Francis Marion, Nathanael

Ambassador and Mrs. Anderson did not simply give their house to the Society. Mrs. Anderson personally gave the Society a substantial financial gift to assist inmaintaining the house. This gift makes up the core of the Society’s modern endowment. In addition, proceeds from the sale of Anderson property, including thesite of the Andersons’ carriage house, have provided the Society with additionalcapital. The Anderson House centennial we celebrated in 2005 offered us an occasion to look back and thank Ambassador and Mrs. Anderson for their commitment to the Society. But the real importance of their gift lies in the future,in what we use our headquarters to accomplish.

In the decades since Mrs. Anderson turned the keys of Anderson House over to the Society, a series of other benefactors has recognized the importance of theSociety of the Cincinnati’s work through major gifts. Some of these donors continueto support the work of the Society. The George and Carol Olmsted Foundation,founded by Gen. George Olmsted, a member of the Society, and his wife, presentedthe Society with one million dollars over twenty years. The Olmsted Foundation continues to be one of the Society’s most important supporters. A member of theSociety who wishes to remain anonymous has supported the development of theRobert Charles Lawrence Fergusson Collection in the Society’s library through major gifts that have made it possible for our library to develop one of the premier collections of printed materials on the art of war in the age of the American Revolution.

This annual report documents the work of our General Society over a remarkableyear—a year of transition, but also a year of solid accomplishment. Thanks to thework of our museum committee and museum staff, visitation to Anderson Housegrew dramatically. And those thousands of visitors were treated to exhibitions onthe common soldiers of the American Revolution, on South Carolina in the AmericanRevolution and on the centennial of Anderson House that set new standards ofexcellence for Anderson House. Chamber music concerts and historical lectures haveintroduced many more people to Anderson House and the Society. Thanks to theleadership of our Museum Committee and the gift of another member who wishes toremain anonymous, the Society’s remarkable series of seventeenth-century tapestriesare being professionally conserved and restored to their rightful place on the secondfloor of Anderson House.

Our library, too, has had a remarkable year. This report provides a glimpse of someof the many treasures we have acquired, chiefly through the use of the RobertCharles Lawrence Fergusson Fund. Of equal importance is the growing reputation ofthe library among serious scholars of the American Revolution. To succeed in 1312

reinvigorating public appreciation of the heroes of our revolution, we need to reach thescholars who are writing the books and teaching the teachers of tomorrow. Our libraryis doing that. More scholars are discovering our collection every month.

Our education efforts are also gaining ground. Thanks to our Education Committee,more than 50,000 copies of the Society’s textbook on the American Revolution, Why America Is Free, were distributed by the end of this year. A much-needed teachersmanual was added to the program this year as well. And thanks to our partnership with the new nonprofit organization Values Through History, our book is now part of a comprehensive Why America Is Free curriculum that covers the entire spectrum ofcoursework, including math, science, art, literature and history for a six-week period.Students exposed to this curriculum will not soon forget the significance of theAmerican Revolution.

We have also made significant changes in the management of communications, development, building operations, administration and finance at Anderson House. These changes, and the dedicated officers, committee members and staff who havemade them possible, provide a foundation for greater accomplishments in pursuit of our mission.

Most importantly, this annual report documents the many gifts that have sustained our Society during the last year. The annual report itself is made possible by one ofthese donors, the Connemara Fund, whose trustees understand the importance of documenting the work of our Society and the loyal supporters who give life to its ideals.

The Society of the Cincinnati is sustained by gifts. Financial gifts, of course, are needed to carry out the work of the Society and to achieve its ambitious goals. But theSociety is also sustained by less tangible gifts—by the willingness of its members andfriends to contribute their energy and talent, as well as their financial resources, to itshigh purpose. In doing so they answer the challenge presented to us by the brave menwho won our national independence and founded the Society of the Cincinnati to keepthe memory of that accomplishment alive.

The Society of the Cincinnati is organized for patriotic,

historical and educational purposes, and especially to perpetuate

the memory of the patriots who by their service and sacrifice

during the War of the American Revolution secured the

independence of the American people.

The Society seeks…

� to inspire the Society’s members and the public at large

with a profound reverence for the principles embraced

by the patriots;

� to collect, preserve and display books, manuscripts,

art and memorabilia pertaining to the Revolution and to

the patriots;

� and to promote unity and fellowship among the

descendants of the patriots.

Perpetuating an understanding of the achievements of the American Revolution is central to theSociety’s mission. As part of this outreach, the Society has developed a number of educational programs and initiatives to bring the patriots’ achievements to the attention of a wide audience,including members, scholars and the public at large.

The Society’s commitment to education and scholarship finds its most tangible expression in thelibrary and museum at Anderson House. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the library accommodated 215 researchers, including a growing number of serious scholars drawn to its art of war and other special collections. Many more individuals visited the library as part of special programs or tours. The staff also answered several hundred outside queries that came in via telephone, mail and, increasingly, e-mail. The raw numbers do not convey the daily work and satisfaction that go into building, cataloging, preserving, housing, and making accessible one of thefinest collections of rare and modern printed works on the era of the American Revolution.

The Anderson House museum received 6,919 visitors during the year. Regular visitation was supplemented by special public programs, such as the biannual concert series and an evening lecture series relating to the centennial of Anderson House. The Society hosted a celebration of thepublication of the latest volume of the First Federal Congress Papers in October. In late June, authorPatricia Brady spoke about and signed copies of her new book Martha Washington: An American Lifeat a noon-time event. Among special groups visiting Anderson House were the Phi Beta DeltaHonor Society, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Union League of New York, the SchoolWithout Walls and the American Friends of Lafayette.

The Education Committee oversaw the publication of an instructional manual and video to accompany its bestselling history textbook, Why America Is Free, produced in partnership withValues through History, a Houston-based nonprofit group dedicated to promoting education on theAmerican Revolution. Efforts to promote the use of these materials have included outreach to theDepartment of Defense school system, independent schools in the Greater Washington area and,through individual members’ initiatives, schools across the country. In August, the Society joinedthe regents of Gunston Hall Plantation in cosponsoring the third annual summer teacher instituteon the American Revolution. Sessions were held at Gunston Hall and at Anderson House, andExecutive Director Jack Warren served as an instructor and moderator at both sites.

The most scholarly and comprehensive history of the Society to date, Liberty without Anarchy: A History of the Society of the Cincinnati by Minor Myers Jr. has been published in a new edition by the University of Virginia Press. The work was originally published in 1983 to mark the two-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Society. Its reappearance, after being out-of-printfor more than a decade, is a fitting memorial to its author, the Society’s foremost historian, whodied in 2003.

Tyree-Lamb Fellowship

The Society is pleased to announce the establishment of the Tyree-Lamb Fellowship for libraryscholars. An endowment fund to support the fellowship was created by combining the gift of$5,000 from John K. Lamont Lamb (received through the assistance of the Society of theCincinnati in the State of Virginia) with contributions donated to the Society in memory ofVirginia Society member Lewis Tyree Jr. (1922-2004). By the end of the year ended June 30,2005, the fund had reached its initial goal of $20,000, from which the Society plans to draw$1,000 annually for the fellowship grant. It is hoped that the fund will continue to grow toenable the Society to offer a larger fellowship or multiple fellowships. A list of the donors to the Tyree-Lamb Fellowship Fund appears at the end of this report.

Museum Internships

The Society is fortunate to be able to award two paid internships each year through the generoussupport of the John Jay Hopkins Foundation and the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.The program offers students who are interested in public history or collections management theopportunity to gain professional experience as they prepare for a museum career. The excellentwork that recipients of these internships complete contributes to the Society’s knowledge of itscollections and its ability to interpret them to the public.

The Clement Ellis Conger Internship—The Clement Ellis Conger Internship was established in May 2003 in honor of Clement Ellis Conger (1912-2004), a long-time curator of the State Department Diplomatic Reception Rooms and a member of the Society of theCincinnati in the State of Virginia. Previous recipients of this internship have catalogued and re-housed the collection of Society eagles, inventoried the Anderson family papers, and, mostrecently, catalogued and researched the portraits of the Wetenhall-de Courcy-May Collection.The internship carries a $1,000 stipend, which is generously funded by the John Jay Hopkins Foundation.

The Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati Internship—The Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati Internship was established in November 2003 and was awarded for the firsttime in the spring of 2005. This first recipient conducted preliminary research for an upcomingexhibition on North Carolina’s participation in the American Revolution (opening Fall 2006).The internship carries a $1,600 stipend, which is generously funded by the MassachusettsSociety of the Cincinnati.

The 2004 Cox Book Prize

The Cox Book Prize has been awarded every third year since1989 to the author of a distinguished work of American historyin the era of the American Revolution published during the pre-vious three years. The prize is awarded by a committee consistingof members of the Society and distinguished academics in thefield of early American history. The prize is made possible by anendowment gift of $100,000 from the family of Dr. H.Bartholomew Cox and was named in their honor in gratefulrecognition of their generosity and long service to the Society.

The 2004 Cox Book Prize was awarded at a black-tie dinner at Anderson House on September 18,2004, to Elizabeth A. Fenn. The Duke University professor was honored for her remarkably originalwork Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-1782 (Hill and Wang: New York, 2001),which traces the rise and spread of an epidemic that ultimately reached from Boston to Vancouverand from Mexico City to the Hudson Bay, devastating Native American populations and wrackingthe combatant armies serving in the war for American independence.

The Society congratulates Professor Fenn and offers thanks to the members of the committee whoreviewed the many outstanding books considered for the prize.

The 2004 George Rogers Clark Lecture

The George Rogers Clark Lecture has been held each Octobersince 1976 and provides a distinguished platform for some of themost important historians of the American Revolution to sharetheir ideas. Previous George Rogers Clark lecturers includeSamuel Eliot Morison, Edmund S. Morgan and Gordon S.Wood—three Pulitzer Prize-winners whose work on the revolutionary era has shaped the last generation of historicalscholarship. The George Rogers Clark Lecture is made possibleeach year by an endowment gift provided by an anonymousmember of the Society of the Cincinnati. The George RogersClark lecturer is selected by the History Committee (Dr. David F. Musto, chairman).

The 2004 George Rogers Clark Lecture was presented at Anderson House on October 22 byDavid McCullough. Mr. McCullough, a master of narrative history and a gifted public speaker,is familiar to millions of Americans as the host of the PBS series The American Experience. He is also a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of numerous works, includingThe Johnstown Flood, Truman, John Adams and, most recently, 1776. Mr. McCullough delightedthe Clark Lecture audience—a standing-room-only crowd of more than 220, a Clark Lecturerecord—with a discussion of the desperate months in 1776 when the American Revolutionseemed to be on the edge of failure. Our revolutionary forefathers, he reminded us, were trueheroes—men and women who struggled through extraordinary adversity to create a new nationbased on the principles of freedom. Mr. McCullough, an honorary member of the MassachusettsSociety of the Cincinnati, was accompanied by his wife, Rosalee.

Why America Is Free

Faced with a critical decline in attention to the revolutionaryera in schools, the Society sponsored the publication of a newtextbook, Why America Is Free, to remind young Americans ofthe debt we all owe to our revolutionary forebears. Originallypublished in 1998 in partnership with the Mount VernonLadies’ Association, Why America Is Free remains the centerpieceof the Society’s efforts to promote the memory of the AmericanRevolution among young Americans. Since 2002 the Societyhas developed an additional partner in Values Through History,Inc., a Houston-based nonprofit dedicated to renewing appreciation of the American Revolution. In 2003 the Societysupported the development of a DVD promoting Why AmericaIs Free and a broader curriculum developed by Values ThroughHistory. In early 2005 the Society published a teachers’ manualto accompany Why America Is Free, co-authored by Jan Smulcerand Donna Passmore, the founders of Values Through History. Now in its second printing, with more than 60,000 copies in print, Why America Is Free is drawing increasing attention fromteachers in public and private schools and is a favorite with home-school parents. The promotion of Why America Is Free is supported by the Society’s Education Committee (Christopher Stuart Moffitt, chairman).

Beyond the Battlefield: The Daily Life of the Revolutionary War SoldierMay 14 – October 9, 2004

The American Revolution may have been conceived by intellectuals pursuing patriotic ideals,but it succeeded because tens of thousands of men scattered through thirteen colonies were willing to fight and die for independence. Farmers, merchants, servants and slaves joined theContinental army, state militias and other independent companies that together formedAmerica’s first national army. Whether these soldiers enlisted out of the patriotic idealism or the hope of reward, they faced the daily reality of death, fatiguing marches, food shortages,unsanitary living conditions, monotonous lulls in camp, and years away from home.

Beyond the Battlefield focused on the struggles of daily life for Revolutionary War soldiers, with highlights that included a pocket surgical kit used by a military surgeon, a powder horncarried during the siege of Boston, and a series of letters from Capt. Jonathan Birge to his wife,Priscilla, describing his devotion to the American cause. The last of these letters is from the regiment’s commanders and informs Priscilla of her husband’s death just four months after hehad left home.

South Carolina in the American RevolutionOctober 16, 2004 – April 9, 2005

South Carolina was at the center of activity in the South during the American Revolution, fromthe earliest protests to the last battles of the war. More battles and skirmishes were fought onSouth Carolina soil over the eight years of war than in any other colony, with some of the war’smost bitter engagements occurring in the Carolina backcountry. After the war, veterans of theContinental army met in Charleston to establish the Society of the Cincinnati of the State ofSouth Carolina, led by Maj. Gen. William Moultrie, the constituent society’s first president.

South Carolina in the American Revolution, the eighth exhibition in a series focusing on thecharacter of the Revolution in each of the original thirteen states and France, featured a rareassemblage of portraits depicting the variety of South Carolina’s soldiers and patriots. Amongother highlights were objects awarded to soldiers by the Continental Congress for valor in SouthCarolina engagements, including a presentation sword for Andrew Pickens and medals forNathanael Greene, John Eager Howard, Daniel Morgan and William Washington.

“Left mainly to her own resources, it was through bloodshed and devastationand the depths of wretchedness that [South Carolina’s] citizens were tobring her back to her place in the republic by their own heroic courage and selfdevotion, having suffered more, and dared more, and achieved more thanthe men of any other state.” –George Bancroft, History of the United States, 1857

Serving in Style: A Century of Art and Politics at Anderson HouseApril 22 – October 8, 2005

In the spring of 1905, newspapers from Washington, D.C., to Boston heralded the completionat long last of Anderson House, “a dream of beauty and good taste” with one of the capital city’smost fashionable addresses. At a cost of nearly $750,000, “this Florentine villa in the midst ofAmerican independence” rose on Massachusetts Avenue between 1902 and 1905, complete witha walled garden, tennis court and three-story carriage house. Arthur Little and Herbert Browneof Boston designed the Beaux Arts mansion as the winter residence of Larz Anderson III, anAmerican diplomat, and his wife, Isabel Weld Perkins, an author and Red Cross volunteer. The couple enjoyed Anderson House for more than thirty years, using it as a showcase for theirart collection, a backdrop for high society galas, and a home from which they explored whatthey considered “the most beautiful of American cities.”

The Serving in Style exhibition celebrated the centennial of Anderson House. Highlights included a blueprint plan of the mezzanine floor, a servant’s formal livery uniform, and a dinnerbook listing guests and seating arrangements for social events held at the house during theAndersons’ residency. Anderson House has served as the headquarters of the Society of theCincinnati since 1938, when it was given to the Society by Isabel Anderson after the death ofher husband, a member of the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Virginia.

“Washington is, of course, the most beautiful of American cities…. It has taken a century for L’Enfant’s vision to become a reality, and now, with its many splendid colonnades, the beauty of the long sweep fromthe Capitol to the White House, with the parks, the shining river, and mistyhills beyond, it is a reality that becomes a vision.”–Isabel Anderson, Presidents and Pies, 1920

The Diana Tapestries

In 2002 the Society embarked on a multi-year project to conserve the Diana series of Flemish tapestries—eight brilliant panels of wool and silk depicting scenesfrom the life and legend of the goddess Diana. This year marked the return ofthree of those panels: Diana Wounding a Satyr, A Maid Lacing the Sandals of Dianaand Diana Stringing Her Bow. The three panels are now installed in their original locations along the south wall of the Olmsted Gallery in Anderson House.

The tapestries, which were commissioned by King Louis XIII of France around1600, were woven in the Brussels workshop of Jacques Guebels and Jan Raes.Cardinal Francesco Barberini purchased the Diana series, along with other setsof tapestries, around 1630 to hang in his Roman palace, where they remaineduntil 1899 when they were acquired by American collector Charles M. Ffoulke,who sold them to Larz Anderson about six years later for $20,000. TheAndersons displayed the series of eight tapestries in their newly completedWashington, D.C., home, hanging them in the dining room and long gallery(now the Olmsted Gallery) on the second floor. When Larz Anderson wasappointed American minister to Belgium in 1911 the couple shipped the panelsto Brussels so that they could continue to enjoy them during his time there. TheSociety’s conservation of the tapestries, which are treasured throughout theworld as rare works of art—and, thanks to the meticulous conservation treat-ment now underway, once again dazzling visitors to Anderson House—shouldbe completed by 2009.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT Restoration of the Diana tapes-tries has been financed by a challenge gift of $50,000from an anonymous member with additional fundingprovided by the Society’s Museum Acquisitions Fund.

Library Collections

A fragile orderly book of the New Hampshire Brigade, covering the period from October 1780 to March 1781 and including a report of Benedict Arnold’s treason at West Point, wasconserved and its contents digitized by the Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts of Philadelphia. The digitized text not only makes the contents more readily available toresearchers, but it ensures the further preservation of the original volume. It is hoped that thisproject will serve as a prototype for the conservation and digitization of the Society’s collectionof thirty-two Continental army orderly books.

The Society also had conservation work done on a reel of the Fox Movietone News footage of Sir Winston Churchill, a hereditary memberof the Society of the Cincinnati in the State ofConnecticut, being presented with the Societyeagle at Anderson House in 1952. The restoredfilm has been copied onto VHS and DVD formats and is available for viewing in the library.

Notes to the Financial StatementsJune 30, 2005

1. Organizational HistoryThe Society of the Cincinnati was organized in 1783 to preserve and promote the ideals of theAmerican Revolution. It was incorporated in 1938 under the laws of the District of Columbia.The Society is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the InternalRevenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Society is not a privatefoundation. The Society is exempt from income taxes except for unrelated business income tax.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesAccrual Basis: The financial statements of the Society have been prepared on the accrual basisand, accordingly, reflect all significant receivables, payables and other liabilities.

Basis of Presentation: Financial statements presentation follows the recommendations of theFinancial Accounting Standards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards(SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117,the Society is required to report information regarding its financial position and activitiesaccording to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets,and permanently restricted net assets.

The Society made extensive renovations during 1997 and 1998 in order to ensure that its collections can be preserved in their current condition or better if restoration work is performedin the future. Proceeds from sales of collection items are reinvested in the collections. As ofSeptember 1, 1998, the Society has elected to expense collection accessions at the time of acquisition. The value of in-kind donations of items to be added to the collections are notincluded in these financial statements. During the period July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005,the Society received collections donations with a total estimated value of $4,800.

Restricted Funds: In order to ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on theuse of contributions and bequests, the accounts of the Society are maintained in accordancewith the principles of “fund accounting.” This is the procedure by which resources for variouspurposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds that are in accordancewith specified objectives or activities. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund.Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and reported by each fund.

Permanently Restricted Net Assets are subject to the restrictions of gift instruments requiring inperpetuity that the principal be invested and the income only be utilized. During the fiscal yearended August 31, 1998, the Society implemented a “total return spending policy” and, in conjunction with that, under the provisions allowed in the Uniform Management ofInstitutional Funds Act (UMIFA), established an historical value for its endowment funds andredefined the term “income” for those funds to include capital gains and net appreciation aswell as interest or dividend income. As a result of this redefinition, accumulated net appreciation was transferred from the Permanently Restricted Funds to the Board-DesignatedEndowment Fund.

Restricted gifts, grants, endowment income, and other restricted resources are accounted for inthe appropriate restricted fund.

The Operating Fund accounts for the general activities of the Society.

The Capital Replacement Fund accounts for board-designated transfers from the Operating andother funds and their expenditure for capital outlay of property and renovations.

The Board-Designated Endowment Fund is comprised of funds set aside by the Board to be invested and a portion of the income from this fund is used to provide a base of funding for theSociety’s operations.

The Library Designated Fund was established to provide a source of funding for acquisitions ofLibrary Collection items which cannot be funded from other sources, including the Society’s annualoperating budget.

The Museum Designated Fund was established to provide a source of funding for the acquisition of new Collections items and/or to preserve and restore the current Collection.

Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of property, furniture and equipment which are recorded at cost.Depreciation is computed on the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method.

4. Pension PlanOn September 1, 1984, the Society adopted a pension plan covering full-time employees of theSociety. The Plan is a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan provides for a contribution of 12% of compensation for all participants, Contributions to the Plan for the yearsended June 30, 2005, and June 30, 2004, were $69,317 and $58,173, respectively.

In addition to the above qualified plan, the Society maintains a second nonqualified, non-fundedplan which provides monthly payments to retired employees who completed ten years of service.The monthly benefit is determined by a formula which includes salary history, length of service andbenefits under the qualified plan. Payments under this plan amounted to $47,533 and $33,131 forthe years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Anticipated expenses for this planfor the period July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, are $51,000. The expense related to the non-qualified plan is recognized at the time payment is made. It is anticipated that as more employeesare covered by the qualified plan for a longer period of time that the expenses related to the non-qualified plan will decrease.

5. Group Health Insurance for RetireesThe Society continues to provide health insurance to its retired employees. This benefit for retireesis unfunded and expenses for this coverage are recognized at the time the premiums are due.

Group hospitalization cost for retirees for the year ended June 30, 2005, was $10,719. For the period July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, premiums are anticipated at $16,000.

6. Compensated AbsencesAll permanent full-time employees of the Society are eligible for paid vacations.

The Society places its temporary cash investments with a financial institution. Temporarycash investments which are not covered by FDIC insurance is $410,877.
