22 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. 



sense, having for its object the institution of a perpetual 

 calendar, or a calendar that will be correct for any year 

 without alteration. This is to be achieved by withdrawing 

 New Year's Day, and in leap year two days, both from the 

 calendar and the days of the week, and treating them as if 

 they did not exist. What will be the next scheme of this sort 

 in which people will try to distinguish themselves it is hard to 

 say. To myself and I hope to most people these projects 

 seem to be useless and inconvenient, and without any real 

 advantage. I conclude with many thanks to all our Members 

 for their kind support in the past, and with every good wish 

 for the success and continued prosperity of our Club in the 

 coming year.
