4 Annual Meeting. 



Dr. MacCormac seconded the motion, which was adopted. 



The meeting then proceeded to ballot for five members of 

 Council in room of those who retired by rotation. Messrs. 

 Horner and Swanston, who acted as scrutineers, reported the 

 result of the ballot to be the unanimous re-election of the 

 retiring members. 



Mr. All WORTHY, in moving a vote of thanks to the Presi- 

 dent for his services during the past year, said he had known 

 Professor Everett almost from the time he first became connected 

 with the Queen's College — nearly thirty years ago. He was 

 sorry to hear that he had resigned, or was about to resign, that 

 connection. Professor Everett had added lustre to the history 

 of the College during that long period, and had distinguished 

 himself not only in connection with that institution, but 

 throughout the United Kingdom in regard to the metric 

 system, shorthand, electricity, and cycling. He possessed in 

 fact a record which very few would be able to equal. With 

 regard to his position as President of that Society, a better 

 man could not have filled the chair, and it was to be hoped that 

 they would not be asked to part with him at the expiration of 

 his year of office. 



Mr. Wm. Faren seconded the proposition, which was 

 passed with acclamation. 



This concluded the business of the meeting. 



Subsequently a meeting of Council was held, at which the 

 office-bearers were all re-elected — Professor Everett as President, 

 Mr. John Brown as Hon. Treasurer, and Mr. R. M. Young as 

 Hon. Secretary.
