Latest version.
  • The number of trustees may be
      increased to not exceeding eleven by said board of trustees at any legal
      meeting of the members, whereupon a certificate of such  increase  shall
      be  made, signed, acknowledged and filed by the existing trustees in the
      manner provided by section one hundred and eighty for the execution  and
      filing  of the certificate of incorporation, except that the consent and
      approbation of a justice of the supreme court shall not be necessary  to
      the  filing  of  such certificate. The additional trustees authorized by
      such increase shall be supplied in the same manner as vacancies  in  the
      original  board  of  trustees;  but  there  shall  always  be at least a
      majority of the board who are not ministers of the gospel or priests  of
      any denomination.
