The subject of the celebration of the Centenary of the 
Society is at present engaging the attention of the Council : 
they recommend the appointment of a Committee for the 
purpose of drawing up a report on the 'Work of the Society 
since its foundation. Further proposals of the Council will 
be submitted to the Society in due course. 
At the meeting of the Council held on the 18th of 
November, 1879, a resolution was passed directing the 
House Committee “to reconsider and report upon the terms 
on which the Scientific Students’ Association is allowed the 
use of the Society’s Meeting Room ; ” and at the following 
meeting, on the 1 6th of December, the Committee reported 
“ that as the number of members in the Scientific Students’ 
Association has increased more than twofold since the terms 
of £1 per meeting were agreed upon, a fresh arrangement 
should be made, and they suggested that £2 10s. per meeting 
would be a proper charge, of which 10s. should go to Mr. 
Roscoe, whose remuneration at present is quite insufficient.” 
The Association, however, declined to accept these terms, 
and ceased to hold their meetings in the Society’s Meeting 
Room at the end of December.
