A committee on resolutions, consisting of Mrs. Edward Buchwalter and Mrs. Richard W. Knott, presented as one of the finalities of the eleventh meeting of the board the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: 

    Whereas the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission by
    authority vested in it by an act of Congress appointed the
    members of the board of lady managers; therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the board of lady managers of the Louisiana
    Purchase Exposition expresses its appreciation of the high honor
    conferred on its members by their appointment; and

Be it further resolved, That the thanks of the board of lady managers be extended to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission for the privileges and pleasures it enjoyed as a board.

The members of the board of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition wish to express their appreciation of the courtesy and kindness shown them by the Exposition Company during the exposition period.

The board of lady managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition wishes to express its appreciation of its officers for their services not only in their official work but in all the duties that devolved upon them as members of the board.

Mrs. William H. Coleman was elected treasurer of the board of lady managers at its first formal meeting, held on October 1, 1902.

The first appropriation received was from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company and was for the sum of $3,000 for incidental expenses.  On February 18, 1904, the appropriation of $100,000 for the use of the board was made by Congress, at which time the real responsibilities of the treasurer began.

Her duties were fully defined in rule 6 of the rules and regulations adopted by the board, and the custody of all funds was placed in her hands to be disbursed “only upon order of the board and the approval of its president.”

Regular itemized statements were rendered to the board at each regular meeting showing receipts and expenditures.  These accounts were each time fully set forth and always found to be absolutely correct and clearly rendered.

At the meeting called for June 9, 1905, Mrs. Coleman read her last report, the following being the final summary of all funds received and disbursed on behalf of the board of lady managers: 

REPORT OF THE TREASURER OF THE BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS OF THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION FROM MARCH 17, 1903, TO JUNE 10, 1905.
