Le 5 novembre 1905, à notre 251ème séance, nous avons célébré 

 le 20ème anniversaire de notre société, non sans un légitime orgueil 

 d'avoir atteint un âge si respectable au sein d'une époque agitée et 

 sujette aux changements. Une ombre de mélancolie planait cependant 

 sur cette réunion, car vingt années dans une existence humaine repré- 

 sentent tant de choses et involontairement ceux qui ont assisté aux 

 débuts de la société songeaient aux chers disparus et regrettaient le
