xlii Annual General Meeting, December 6, 1011. 



date were absolutely equal. The Associatitm were therefore unable to make any 

 recommendation. The present date was, he believed, suitable to the Scottish 

 colleges. The only way to roeet the difficulty would probably be to have two 

 examinations a year. This, however, would tlouble the expense, and was a 

 very serious matter for the two Societies represented on the National Agri- 

 cultural Examination Board, some of the members of which were of opinion that 

 the Societies were spending enough already in that direction. He could assure 

 Mr. Amos, taking as he did the deepest interest in the college which he 

 represented, that the matter would be considered. 



As regards the vote of thanks, he could only say that this year had been one 

 of the most interesting years in his public life. It had been hard work, but he 

 had thoroughly enjoyed it, because it had been the means of his making many 

 many friends, whom he hoped he would always keep through his life. He 

 could not sit down without saying how deeply grateful he was for the great 

 assistance that he had all through received, not only from his own county of 

 Norfolk, but also from Sir Gilbert Greenall, and from their Secretary, Mr. 

 McRow, and all his staff at Beiiford Square. 



The meeting then terminated.
