HE Winter Session was opened with a social evening 

 in the Museum, College Square North, on Tuesday, 

 13th November. The arrangements on this occasion 

 were somewhat varied from the conversaziones usually held, 

 and the change may be considered in every way a success, the 

 attendance of members and their friends being much above the 

 average of previous years. Tea was served in the lower room 

 between seven and eight o'clock, several of the lady members 

 presiding at the urns. The chair was taken in the lecture-room 

 at eight o'clock by the president of the Club, Mr. W. H. 

 Patterson, M.R.I.A. 



The President said — Ladies and gentlemen, the committee 

 have made a change in the arrangements this year, and, instead 

 of opening with a conversazione, have adopted a different plan, 

 and it remains to be seen whether this different plan will be 

 considered by the bulk of the members as more acceptable. I
