/of its Institution, the Council beg to call the attention of this 

 tneetin<^ to considerations of a subordinate nature. It will be 

 'necessary to provide some place in which the future meetings 

 tnay be held, and where a repository may be formed for the 

 preservation not only of the archives and records of the Society, 

 but ?lso of such documents, books, and specimens, of natural 

 history, as may hereafter be presented or purchased. The 

 utmost economy will at present be requisite in the management 

 of the Society's funds; and, therefure, if the consent of the 

 University could be obtained, it would be highly desirable that 

 the expenses of printing the Society's Transactions, should be 

 ■defrayed by the University.* His Royal Highness the Chancellor 

 has accepted of the office of Patron, and his letter, containing 

 i?he expression of his approbation, will be read by one of the 

 Secretaries. The present Vice-Chancellor, our High Steward, 

 both our representatives in Pailiament, and many other distin- 

 guished members of the University, who are not resident, have 

 jalso contributed towards the undertaking ; and there is, there- 

 fore, every reason to hope, that the Graduates of this Uni- 

 versity, who associated for the Institution of the Cambridge 

 Philosophical Society, by their assiduity and dihgence in its 

 support, and by their conspicuous zeal for the honour and well- 

 bemg of the University ; will prove to other times, that their 

 lives and their studies have not been in vain.
