Election of New Governors and Membe r rs, 
xxxv 
sufficiently indicated the broad and 
comprehensive basis upon which the 
new Society was established. Sir 
Harry Verney was a member of the 
original Committee, and in a sketch 
of Earl Spencer, which appeared in 
their Journal in March, 1890, Sir 
Harry mentioned that “ as the 
‘ Father ’ of the Society now that 
both Lord E versley and Lord Portman 
are dead, I am one of the few links 
between the first half-century of its 
existence and the inauguration of 
what we may venture to hope will be 
a second period of still greater use- 
fulness, now that the necessity of the 
adaptation of science to the workaday 
uses of the present is seen to be of 
vital importance to our position as a 
nation of the world.” He (the Chair- 
man) thought that the Council would 
unanimously approve of the instruc- 
tions given by the President for the 
Council to be officially represented at 
the funeral by the Secretary of the 
Society. He (the Duke) did not think 
he need say anything more to com- 
mend to them the memory of Sir 
Harry Verney, because they were all 
well aware of the active part which 
Sir Harry had taken in his own 
county in all matters connected with 
agriculture. (Hear, hear.)
