XLVI ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
2nd Vice-President—Mrs. (Dr.) Griffin. 
Secretary—Mrs. Robert Fearman. 
Treasurer—Miss Alma Freeman. 
Press Correspondent—Miss Minnie Jean Nisbet. 
Leader Literary Club—Miss Isabel Walton. 
Last season we were favoured with a visit from Sir John Bourinot, 
who gave a most interesting address on “ Literature and Art in Canada.” 
The informal discussion which followed being especially enjoyed by the 
members. Rev. George F. Salton addressed us on the Tel-El-Armna 
Tablets, and gave us much food for thought. We have to regret the loss 
of a good and valued friend, Rev. Dr. Burns, late President of the Hamil- 
ton Ladies’ College. He always took a warm interest in our association 
and was ever ready to aid us in every possible way. By his death we 
have lost one whose place can never be filled. Our subject for next 
year’s study is The War Note in Literature,” and a unique and inter- 
esting programme is being arranged.
