REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1913. 
Vll 
as the Red Sea, to attend the British Association Meeting at 
Birmingham, when he was struck down with sun-stroke on the 
26th of August, near the entrance to the Suez Canal. 
A Special Meeting of the Council was held on the 4th of 
September, over which the Dean of York presided, and the follow- 
resolution was passed : 
f ‘ That this Special Meeting of the Council of the Yorkshire Philosophical 
“ Society hereby places on record, at the earliest opportunity, the deep sense 
“ of the irreparable loss which the Society has sustained by the death of its 
“ President, Dr. Tempest Anderson, M.D., D.Sc., which occurred at or near 
“ Suez on the 26th August, as he was returning from a scientific expedition 
“ to the Phillipines. They would also record their grateful appreciation of 
“his many acts of generosity and of the invaluable and devoted services 
“ which he had so ungrudgingly given to the Society, over a long course of 
“years, and tender their heartfelt sympathy and condolence with his 
“ relatives on the loss which they have suffered.” 
At the same Meeting it was unanimously decided that in future 
the new Lecture Theatre shall be called “ The Tempest Anderson 
Hall.” Our late President’s interest in the Society not only con¬ 
tinued to the end of his life, but by his will he made generous 
provisions in its favour which will enable the Trustees and Council 
materially to increase the efficiency and usefulness of the Institu¬ 
tion. A memoir giving a fuller description of our late President 
by Mr. G. Yeld will be found on page xxxvii of this Report. 
Turning to the progress made during the last twelve months 
your Council would again acknowledge its indebtedness to Mr. 
Harvey Brook for his work on the South Wall of St. Mary’s Abbey 
and the Cloister adjoining. This work is in the best style of 
restoration, uS it not only preserves the original work, but enables 
the Student to form a true conception of a very important feature 
of the Abbey, which had hitherto been largely left to the imagina¬ 
tion. This is full} 7 dealt with by Mr. Harvey Brook on page xvii 
of this Report. 
The collection in the Architectural Museum has been further 
increased and the Council would again appeal to York Citizens not 
only to examine their Rockeries for fragments of mediaeval sculp¬ 
ture, but to invite Mr. Harvey Brook to inspect them if they have 
any doubt as to their interest. 
The Annual Meeting of the York Medical Society was held in 
the “ Tempest Anderson Hall” on the 29th of October, when Mr. 
Stephen Paget gave a most interesting address on “ Life and 
Death under the Microscope.” The Lecture was illustrated by
