On motion of Dr. Faull, seconded by Dr. Buller, the report of 

 Section IV was adopted. 



The Honourable Rodolphe Lemieux introduced the following 

 resolution : — 



Whereas this is the first general meeting of The Royal Society 

 of Canada since the breaking out of the war in Europe ; 



Whereas the said war is one involving several of the great powers, 

 and especially the mother countries of the two main stocks of people 

 making up this Dominion; 



Whereas Canada is nobly performing her duty in this emer- 

 gency in training, equipping and sending forth thousands upon thou- 

 sands of her hardy sons to fight the battles of peace, freedom and 

 humanity on the blood-soaked battlefields of France and Belgium; 



Whereas the type of kultur or civilization which Germany and 

 her ally Austria, with the help of Turkey, have undertaken to impose 

 by force on the rest of the universe is supremely repugnant to those 

 higher ideals of justice and liberty which it has been the especial 

 burden of the British mother country and its galaxy of self-governing 

 commonwealths to establish; 



Whereas the barbarous means resorted to by our foes to attain 

 their sinister ends have entailed the ruthless destruction of many of 

 the finest monuments of architecture, treasures of art and institutions 

 of learning, particularly in Belgium and the north of France; 



And whereas The Royal Society of Canada, as the premier Cana- 

 dian institution representative of the interests of Art, Science and 

 Literature, is bound to manifest its deepest concern in the preservation 

 of such monuments, treasures and institutions; and whereas The 

 Royal Society of Canada glories in having some of its members who 

 answered the call of England against the German wild agression;
