30 ANNUAL MEETING. 



This bears very favourable comparison with the rest of the 

 country. 



During the present session 10 classes are being held and 

 well attended, and the whole of the benches in the laboratory of 

 the Institution are occupied by students in chemistry. 



This report would be incomplete without including in it an 

 allusion to the Presidential Chair, which has been brought into 

 use since the last annual meeting. The most interesting portions 

 of it were secured at a sale, which took place at the time of the 

 demolition of a great part of the old S. Mary's Parish Church, 

 these were generously presented to our society by Mr. J. C. 

 Daubuz. The Rev. W. lago was consulted as to the best means 

 of ensuring the preservation of the relic and furnished a design 

 for a handsome chair to be used by the Presidents of the Royal 

 Institution of Cornwall. 



Arrangements have been made whereby there shall be mutual 

 interchange of privileges between our Society and the Devon 

 and Exeter Institution. As the result of these arrangements 

 should any of the members of the Royal Institution of Cornwall 

 be on a visit to Exeter or the neighbourhood they will be able 

 to use the rooms of the Exeter Institution, and will be entitled 

 to enjoy all its privileges the same as the resident members, and 

 this no doubt will be much appreciated. Of course the members 

 of the Devon and Exeter Institution will be entitled to the same 

 privileges when visiting this neighbourhood by making use of 

 the rooms of our Society. 



The President Mr. J. D. Enys, E.G.S., having to the 

 great advantage of the Society, filled the office for two years, 

 the Council have much pleasure in proposing as his successor,
