The annual general meeting was held on the 10th of January, 1912.

 

Present:—John Hamilton, D.C.L., in the chair, Col. Wood, G..M. Fairchild, P. B. Casgrain, E. T. D. Chambers, Cyr. Tessicr, P. G. Owen, J. Brown, J. M. Johnston, Col. Turnbull, D. Watson, Rev. F. G.

The report of the Council was read by Mr. Alex. Robertson and gave a resume of the transactions of the Society during the year just closed. Reference was made in it to the four lectures which had been given under the joint auspices of the Society and of the Governors of Morrin College, and also to the fact that portraits of John Langton, M.A., Hon. D. A. Ross, E. A. Meredith, M.A., Daniel Wilkie, M.A., Hon. A. W. Cochrane and James Stevenson had been added to the collection of past presidents. There still remain to be acquired, if at all possible, portraits of a number of other past presidents, and it is hoped that the Society will be successful in securing copies of these. Reference was also made in the report to the departure of Earl Grey, late Governor-General of Canada, who had evinced, during his stay in the country, a keen interest in the Society.
