REPORT OF COUNCIL 



FOR THE YEAR 1914-1915 



To the Fellows of The Royal Society of Canada 



The Council have the honour to present the following report on 

 the work of the Society during the past year. 



The last annual meeting was one of the most successful on record. 

 The attendance was larger than usual and the interest manifested 

 throughout the session was most gratifying. The Proceedings and 

 Transactions which are now in your hands submit a record of the 

 business transacted. The papers accepted for publication were of a 

 varied character and well sustain the standard set by our previous 

 volumes. The address delivered by the President and the Popular 

 Lecture drew large and interested audiences, and the discussions in 

 the Sectional meetings were interesting and important. 



It was decided by the Council to call the Annual Meeting 

 of the Society this year in Montreal. The Society had been 

 honoured by the invitations of McGill University and Laval 

 LIniversity, and the time seemed opportune for a meeting in the 

 Province of Quebec as both our President and Vice-President are 

 residents of the Province. The hospitality which will be extended 

 to us on this occasion will be most heartily appreciated by the Fellows 

 in attendance.
