SECTION OF LITERATURE. 



RE PORT 



The following Meetings have been held during the 

 winter : — 



1890. 

 Nov. 3— "The Legend of the Holy Grail," by Rev. A. H. Fish, B.A. 

 Dec. I — "Walt Whitman," by Mr. E. J. Baillie, F.L.S. 



1891. 



Feb. 4— "The Story of the Battle of Agincourt," by Mr. T. M. Lockwood, 



F.R.LB.A. 

 Mar. 2 — "The Passion Play at Oberammagau, in 1890," by Mr. C. 



Lancaster. 



Apr. 6 — Business Meeting. 



The general interest taken in the Section, and the very 

 good attendance at the Meetings have shewn that the hopes of 

 its promoters were fully justified. It is also gratifying to notice 

 that the new Section, so far from being regarded as an intruder, 

 has found some of its most cordial supporters among the 

 members and officers of the Scientific Sections. It is hoped 

 next Session to have rather more frequent meetings, and to 

 include in the Course not merely Lectures and Papers, but the 

 reading and informal discussion of some of the masterpieces 

 of literature. In this way the Section may perhaps hope to 

 supplement to some extent the work of the University Extension 

 Lectures, to whose stimulating influence it has been, particularly 

 during the present Session, considerably indebted. 



At the Business Meeting on April 6th, 1891, the President 

 and Officers were re-elected. 



ARTHUR H. FISH, 



Hon. Secretary.
