WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1890 



A Conversazione was held in the Great Hall of the University 

 under the management of a Committee composed of the Officers 

 and Council of the Society. 



The Hall and approaches were tastefully decorated with ferns, 

 palms and rare pot plants kindly supplied by Mr. Charles Moore,
