BIO Royal Colonial Institute. 



had Ht upon a happy idea in holding those luncheons at De Keyser's, and they have 

 become very popular. I hope that next year we shall be able to organise the City 

 luncheons once a week. It is a good thing, I think, that these gatherings shall be 

 within easy reach of the City. I quite agree with Mr. Saxon Mills that we should 

 try to make the Institute a valuable bureau of information, information not oaly 

 about openings in the Colonies, but also a bureau of information for our friends in the 

 Overseas Dominions who come to pay a visit to this country. I congratulate the 

 Fellows on this excellent meeting. There has not been one syllable of hostile criticism. 

 On the other hand, many valuable suggestions have been made. These the Council 

 have heard with pleasure, and you may be sure that whether they adopt them or 

 not they will not be cast aside without patient and diligent consideration. 



The motion for the adoption of the Report was agreed to. 



On the motion of Sir Godfrey Lagden, seconded by Colonel Rawson, Messrs. 

 Price, Waterhouse & Co. were elected auditors for the vear 1913.
