APPENDIX C XXXV 
The Social Science Club of Ottawa made overtures for affiliation 
some time ago. This has now been accomplished, and political and social 
science has not only occupied the attention of the affiliated society, but 
through the contributions of the members has formed a prominent part 
of the work of the Literary and Scientific Society, under whose auspices 
it has met during the winter. The more the Literary and Scientific 
Society becomes a focus for the intellectual forces of the capital the 
more truly will its original aims and purposes be accomplished.
