in the same high terms as it has been my pleasure to use in past 

 years. I have to repeat my thanks for the kindly interest always shown 

 by the local Press in all that tends to the welfare of the Institution; 

 and, lastly, to express the deep obligation under which I am to the 

 Chairman and every other Member of the Committee for their hearty 

 co-operation and kindly sympathy with me in every department of my 

 work.
