CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE ACADEMY. 



The learned Societies of other countries are endowed or supported by the State, upon reasons 

 which are suggested by the preamble to the charter of our Academy, above recited. Such duties in 

 this country devolve upon the community as individuals. The Fellows of the Academy will do all 

 they can. But if they are right in their opinion that the institution they represent has contributed 

 to the intellectual character and the material prosperity of the city of Boston and the Commonwealth 

 of Massachusetts, during the century now closing, they may hopefully solicit the aid which is 

 essential to greater usefulness in the future.
