Besides the many young officers who, on first being commissioned, have 
joined the Institution, the Committee observe that the total addition for the 
year of 107 Members, includes 63 of their brother officers of the late India 
Artilleries,—an earnest they believe of a further increase when the objects 
of the Institution are fully known.
