ical period, in resisting invasion and maintaining this land as an in- 
tegral part of the British Empire, have received recognition on the 
pages of history and in the hearts of our people. Societies and repre- 
sentative men and women have recently united in urging upon the 
Provincial Government, as an appropriate public commemoration of 
the struggles and victories of the years 1812-1815, the erection of a 
suitable monument in Queen’s Park, Toronto, to be a constant reminder 
to Canadians of this and succeeding ages of their indebtedness to those 
of the former time. The Institute has cordially co-operated in this 
patriotic movement. 
3.—Peace also has its victories, and the celebration in 1915 of the 
Hundred Years of Peace between the empire of Britain and the United 
States is a project that should appeal to all who desire to see realized 
in their time “Peace on earth, good will to men.” 
4.—The Institute’s next publication, to consist mainly of remin- 
iscences of early pioneers, is in the hands of the printer, and will, it

securing permanent quarters. Various sites have been considered, but 
difficulties in the way have up to the present prevented any definite 
action from being taken.
