The Secretary had reported that 
Lord Moreton, as Chairman of the 
Committee, and Mr. Albert Pell 
had attended before the Gresham 
University Commissioners on March 
3, as the Society’s representatives, 
to give evidence upon the subject 
of Agricultural Education, and 
that he himself had also given evi- 
dence, in compliance with the re- 
quest of the Commissioners made at 
the time. The Secretary had also 
reported that he had received an 
invitation from the Local Examin- 
ations and Lectures Syndicate of the 
University of Cambridge to take part 
in a conference on Technical Edu- 
cation, to be held at Cambridge, on 
April 20 and 21, and Dr. Voelckcr 
had reported that he had received a 
similar invitation. The Committee 
considered it desirable that the So- 
ciety should be represented at this 
conference by the Secretary and Dr. 
Voelcker, and accordingly recom- 
mended that both be authorised to 
attend it.

months beforehand would be con- 
sidered upon a future occasion.
