h The Chairman said they would dispense with the usual 

 formality of reading the Minutes, as they had assembled there to 

 listen to a lecture by Dr. Ananda Coomaraswamy. No words were 

 required from him to introduce the lecturer to them. They all knew 

 what a distinguished career his father had. Dr. Coomaraswamy' s 

 own monumental work on « 'Mediaeval Sinhalese Art," which no 

 man with intelligence could read without great pleasure, was 

 well known to most of them. Without detaining them longer 

 he would call upon Dr. Coomaraswamy. They were glad at the 

 happy opportunity which enabled them to welcome him at that 

 Meeting, and were grateful to him for having come.
