The following figures from the Treasurer’s books show the meagre 
resources available, and credit is taken for the accomplishment of so 
much with so little means.

There were about 75,000 visitors to the Château during the past 
year, and while no admission fee is, or can be, charged, opportunity 
is given for voluntary contribution towards the maintenance. The 
student of psychology and sociology may ponder over the curious fact 
that the collection box provided for the purpose yielded—less than 
twenty dollars! 
A reception was given to the American Library Association during 
their visit to Montreal last summer, which was characterized by their 
members as one of the most pleasant functions among the many cour- 
tesies extended to them. 
The Society took occasion of the presence of Lord Strathcona and 
Mount Royal at his unveiling of the restored Nelson Monument to 
tender him a reception at their rooms immediately after the ceremonies. 
There were many members and friends present to welcome his Lordship, 
who expressed his appreciation of the Society’s laudable efforts, and the 
very considerable success with which those efforts had been attended, 
incidentally recalling his presence in the building more than half a 
century ago, when it was occupied as Government offices. 
Appended is a list of the officers of the Society for the year 1900- 
1901. These offices are all honorary, and are filled by the incumbents 
without other fee or reward than the hope of doing something to 
advance the higher interests of the community in which they live.
