78 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. 
The following Resolution was moved by Dr. E. A. Meredith, 
seconded by Mr. W. H. VanderSmissen, and passed : 
‘That the meeting, considering this as an exceptional case, desire to tender 
a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Sandford Fleming, C.M.G., for his interesting 
communication on the subject of ‘Cosmic Time,’ and they wish, at the 
same time, to record their satisfaction that to one of the original members of 
the Institute is due the honour of being the first to bring prominently before 
the scientific world, through the medium of the Journal of the Institute, 
the important subject of Time Reform, and the adoption of uniform or 
Cosmic Time.”
