Whittell had said — that the written address would after all turn up, and 

 therefore he would couple with the vote of thanks a request that the Presi- 

 dent would allow it to be printed and circulated in the usual way. 

 The vote of thanks was carried unanimously. 



The President expressed his thanks to the meeting for the cordial way 

 in which the vote had been passed. He could only say that he had always 

 met with the greatest kindness from all, and he considered it one of the 

 distinguishing features of the Club that every one of its members could be 

 regarded as a kind-hearted, loving friend, and that the union amongst them 

 was as strong as the bond of brotherhood in any masonic union. He did 

 not take their expression as being due to anything in himself, for he knew 

 that they had numbers of men more able than himself to occupy the 

 position ; he attributed it all to their kindness, and thanked them very 

 heartily for it. 



The result of the ballot was then announced to be as follows : — 

 President — Mr. T. Charters White. 



Vice-Presidents — Dr. M. C. Cooke, Mr. E. Dadswell, Mr. J.W. Groves and 

 Mr. Charles Stewart. 



Four new Members of Committee — Dr. T. S. Cobbold, Dr. J. Matthews, 

 Mr. B. W. Priest and Mr. J. G. Waller. 

 The OflBcers were all re-elected. 



Dr. G. D. Brown moved a vote of thanks to the President, Members of 

 Committee, and Officers of the Club for the services which they had so ably 

 rendered during the past year. He felt sure that the Club would be 

 pleased at the re-election of the President, because he had always been re- 

 garded as one of themselves. 



Mr. Morland seconded the motion, and the President, in putting it to the 

 meeting, referred to the special indebtedness of the Club to the various Offi- 

 cers. 



The vote of thanks was carried unanimously. 



A vote of thanks to the Auditors and Scrutineers was moved by Mr. Cur- 

 ties, seconded by Mr. Vezey, and carried nem. dis. 



The President moved a vote of thanks to the Council and Authorities of 

 University College for the continuance of their permission to meet in that 

 room. This vote of thanks he thought was deserved in every respect, for 

 their kindness did not end there, but they were always ready to meet the 

 wishes of J the Club in every way, and in their personal contact with them 

 they had always met with the greatest kindness and courtesy. 



The Secretary seconded this motion with very great pleasure, because 

 he was the one who came most into contact with the College, and could 

 testify personally to their kindly feelings. He might, he thought, also 

 venture to say that not only was the Club satisfied with the College, 

 but that the College was satisfied with the Club, and that the Authorities 

 were glad to assist a Society that was instrumental in furthering the 

 spread of education, of which they considered themselves the Trustees. 

 The proceedings then terminated. 



Attendance — Members, 44 ; Yisitors, 3.
