A valid proxy did not extinguish the shareholder's continuing right to attend and vote personally unless that right was taken away expressly or by necessary implication. Because a proxy is only an agent and operates subject to the shareholder's choice at the time of voting, the chairman was not justified in preferring the proxy vote over the shareholder's personal vote.
