I 
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL 
OF THE 
YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. 
February 12TH, 1906. 
During the year 1905 considerable progress has been made 
in the preparations for the forthcoming visit of the British 
Association to York, which has been fixed for the first week in 
August. Your Council relies with confidence upon the mem¬ 
bers of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society doing all in their 
power to render the Meeting a complete success, not only by 
subscribing liberally to the Local Fund, but also by extending 
hospitality to the visitors and taking part in the various Sub- 
Committees upon which the' success of the Meeting so much 
depends. Owing to the British Association having held its 
Meeting last year in South Africa, where the attendance was 
naturally limited to those having the means and leisure to 
devote to so extended a journey, it is anticipated that the 
attendance this year will be above the average and that the 
accommodation of our ancient city will be taxed to the utmost. 
Any deficiency in the hotels to meet the demands upon their 
space will, we hope, be readily supplied by the citizens. 
During the past year the Lectures have been maintained at 
the high standard to which we have become accustomed, and 
the Council is pleased to know that its efforts to render the 
seats in the Lecture Theatre more comfortable are appreciated 
by the members and have added materially to the enjoyment 
of the Lectures. A list of the Lectures will be found at page 
8 .
