ANNUAL MEETING. 441 
The President thought it was nothing more than the 
Council ought to have said with reference to a gentleman 
who had been associated with the institution from the com- 
mencement — one who by his industry, labour, skill and 
intelligence had been largely instrumental in obtaining the 
charter. 
Mr. Helmore moved the adoption of the report, which he 
said he thought was one of the most satisfactory reports ever 
presented at their Annual Meetings. 
Mr. G. A. Lepper seconded the motion, which was unani- 
mously adopted.
