162 JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS. 
“REPORT OF THE PHILOLOGICAL SECTION. 
Read at the Annual Meeting of the Association, May rith, 1593. 
Since its last report to the Association, this Section has held 
seven meetings, at which papers were read as follows: r 
1892. 
Sept. 16th.—‘‘ Graduation in Vowel Sounds,” by W. Connor, B. A. 
Dec. 22nd.—“ Words,” by J. H. Long, M. A., LL.B. 
1893. 
Jan. 2o0th.—‘ Philological Notes,” by A. W. Stratton, B. A. 
Mar. 17th.—‘“ The Origin and Development of our Alphabetical 
Characters,” by W. McD. Logan, B. A. 
The October and November meetings were devoted respectively 
to a discussion of the previous paper, and to drafting the season’s 
work. 
It is expected that two interesting papers will yet be read before 
the season’s work is completed. 
The amount of work done in the Section this year has not been ~ 
up to our expectations. This is owing partly to the fact that the 
work is not of anature to popularize itself, and not a little to the loss 
we sustained in the removal from our district of A. W. Stratton, B.A., 
and Prof. J. F. McLaughlin, B.A., B.D., two of our most enthu- 
siastic workers.
