Stewart Memorial. 



Following the lamented death of Mr. S. A. Stewart, a meeting 

 of the Committee was summoned to consult with other prominent 

 members of the Club. This meeting was held on 22nd June, 

 1910, Mr. William Swanston, F.G.S., in the chair, when a resolution 

 was passed on the proposal of Mr. William Gray, M.R.I. A., 

 seconded by Mr. George Donaldson, "That a suitable monument 

 should be erected over the grave of the late Mr. Stewart." 



A Sub-Committee was appointed to draft and issue a circular 

 inviting subscriptions towards this object. Sufficient funds having 

 been received it was resolved at Committee meeting held 17th 

 January, 191 1, that the most suitable memorial would consist of 

 " A gallaun or standing-stone of granite, with a medallion of bronze 

 let into same, bearing a portrait of Mr. Stewart. " J A Sub-Committee 

 was then appointed to carry out the wishes of the Committee. 

 At the Committee meeting held on 10th March, 191 1, this 

 Sub-Committee reported that they had been able to secure an 

 estimate for the erection of the monument which would come 

 within the financial resources of the fund. The report of the 

 Sub-Committee having been approved of, two members were 

 entrusted with the supervision of the undertaking which was placed 

 in the hands of Miss S. Rosamund Fraeger, and Messrs. William 

 Costigan & Co.
