ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



9 



The opportunity for expansion and usefulness is now upon us, 

 and our prospects are bright. Our President has encouraged us by 

 promising to give the Annual Address at the close of the Session in 

 June, when it is hoped that further good progress will have been 

 made. 



The success of our Institute, humanly speaking, is in the hands of 

 all the members and associates ; it is earnestly trusted that each 

 will use every effort to further its interests, by telling their friends, 

 by inviting them to join, by suggesting subjects, or by reading papers. 



The first resolution was proposed by J. Norman Holmes, Esq., 

 and seconded by Charles Marston, Esq. : — 



That the Report and Statement of Accounts for the year 

 1918, herewith submitted, be adopted, and that the thanks of 

 the Meeting be tendered to the Council and officers for the 

 efficient manner in which they have carried out the afEairs of 

 the Institute during the past year. 

 This was carried unanimously. 



The second resolution was proposed by Peter Wood, Esq., 

 seconded by J. A. Gosset, Esq. : — 



That the President, Vice-Presidents, and honorary officers 

 named in the Report, and the retiring Members of Council 

 nominated by the Council for re-election, be elected, and that 

 A. T. Schofield, Esq., M.D., be elected Vice-President, and 

 A. H. Burton, Esq., M.D., and W. Hoste, Esq., B.A., Members 

 of Council of the Victoria Institute. 

 Carried unanimously. 



The Chairman said : — We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Schofield 

 for his services. Not only has he contributed good papers to our 

 Institute in the past, but he has very kindly promised another 

 for next Session, and he has devoted much time and skill to the 

 preparation and editing of six tracts for the times, from former 

 papers of the Victoria Institute, which are of permanent value. 



Mr. Hoste also deserves our thanks, as he has expressed his willing- 

 ness to help in the honorary secretarial work, which is much needed. 



Dr. Burton is well known and valued. We warmly welcome 

 these gentlemen to their respective posts of responsibility.
