APPENDIX B LXIX 
We have much pleasure in taking note of the new academic honour 
conferred on one of our oldest and most active ‘leaders, Sir James 
LeMoine, who lately received the honorary degree of D.C.L. from 
Bishop’s College, Lennoxville. 
Our warmest thanks are due to the authorities of Morrin College 
for their continued generous dealings with the Society. 
In conclusion, we must say, that whilst our financial position has 
at last been brought to a state of equilibrium, we have only succeeded 
in doing this by the ‘most vigorous economy and by ceasing to pub- 
lish transactions. At a time when the Government ‘has shown an 
enlightened generosity towards a similar body; and when it has wisely 
spent considerable sums in furthering the invaluable collections of 
material made by Mr. Doughty, for his great work on the Days of 
Wolfe and Montcalm, we may hope that the new council will see to 
it that the distinctly just claims of an old, but actively capable Society 
like ours, will be so set forth that we will be enabled to continue our 
public work in a way befitting our own reputation and that of the 
community to which we belong. | 
The whole respectfully submitted.

that amount to the president.

in doing so thanked the Society for the hearty support that he had 
received from them all during his two years of office.
