iv Proceedings, fyc. 



Dr. Mueller very reluctantly accepted office, pleading as an excuse, 

 his fear that he might not do justice to the office. 



Professor Hearn, L.L.D., proposed Dr. Iffla as a Vice-President. 

 This was seconded by Dr. Mackenna. 



Thomas E. Rawlinson, Esq., C.E., proposed the Rev. John I. 

 Bleasdale as a Vice-President. This was seconded by Dr. Gilbee. 

 There being no other candidates proposed, these gentlemen were 

 declared duly elected. 



Dr. Mackenna proposed that Professor Irving be re-elected Trea- 

 surer to the Institute. This was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Jarrett, 

 and carried unanimously. 



The Hon. Dr. Wilkie, M.L.C., proposed that John Macadam, Esq., 

 M.D., be re-elected Honorary Secretary. This was seconded by Lieut. 

 Amsinck, R.N., and carried unanimously. 



Dr. Wilkie stated, that although the Council had last year voted 

 a sum of money to be placed at Dr. Macadam's disposal for obtain- 

 ing clerical or other aid in the discharge of his onerous duties as 

 Honorary Secretary, yet that that gentleman had declined to accept 

 of it. Dr. "Wilkie considered the present to be a fitting opportunity 

 for the general body of the members of the Institute to express their 

 desire that the Secretary would avail himself of such assistance. 



On the members present doing so, Dr. Macadam stated, that 

 during the two years he had had the honor of holding office the 

 Institute had so increased its roll of membership, and extended its 

 correspondence, that he had decided, as far as the issue of circulars 

 for meetings and copying work were concerned, to avail himself of 

 clerical assistance for the future, provided that the new Council, on 

 assembling for the current session gave bim the opportunity of 

 doing so.
