PUBLIC BUSINESS. 
An Obituary Notice of Robert Munro, M.A., M.D., LL.D., by Dr George Macdonald, C.B., 
was read by Dr C. G. Knott, General Secretary. Proc., vol. xli, pp. 158-169. 
The President summarised the position of the Society on the working of the year just closed, 
as regards the volume of work presented for publication and the showings of the Balance Sheet. 
He pointed out that the volume of work was at present considerably below the average of pre-war 
years, and forecasted the strong probability that in the near future, when the immediate effects of 
the war had been worked off, an even larger volume of work would be offered than the average of 
the years before the war. 
He drew attention to the importance of keeping in close touch with the younger men, who are 
at the outset of their productive period ; and he suggested as being worthy of consideration by the 
Society, the possible constitution of a junior grade of membership to which the younger men might 
belong. It might stand to the full Fellowship in somewhat the same relation as in the Royal 
Academy the A.R. A. stands to the rank of full Academician.
