X. The Council has appointed Committees to consider finance, 

 meeting rooms, hospitality and reception, excursions and exhibits, and 

 publications in connection with the Centenary Meeting. 



The question of finance is dealt with in a later paragraph of this report. 



After consideration of a number of possible halls for the inaugural 

 meeting (and failing the Albert Hall, which will be otherwise occupied), 

 the Wesleyan Central Hall and annexes have been booked for this occasion. 

 In the event of a very large meeting the use of relaying will be unavoidable. 



The inaugural meeting must necessarily be of an exceptional character, 

 as numerous addresses and other messages are to be anticipated, and 

 opportunity must be afforded for a number of speakers. After considera- 

 tion of various alternatives it is proposed, if the General Committee and 

 the President-elect concur, that the inaugural meeting, after the installa- 

 tion of the President-elect in the chair, should be devoted mainly to the 

 above purposes, the President finally addressing the meeting ; but that 

 he should deliver the Presidential Address proper on a separate occasion, 

 namely, the final evening of the meeting, Tuesday, September 29. It is 

 suggested that this would form a fitting conclusion. The Wesleyan 

 Central Hall has been engaged for this date also. 



The requirements of the Association in respect of the Reception Room, 

 offices, sectional meeting rooms, &c., will be best met in the institutions 

 in and near Exhibition Road, South Kensington, and arrangements are 

 in hand accordingly. Applications on behalf of the Council to the 

 University of London, the Imperial College of Science and Technology,
