NINETY-FIRST SESSION, 1901-02. ROYAL INSTITUTION, LIVERPOOL. ANNUAL MEETING. The Annual Meeting of the Society was held at the Royal Institution, on 6th October, 1901. Rev. E. A. Wesley, President, occupied the chair. The following Report of the retiring Council was read and adopted: REPORT. The Council has pleasure in presenting to the Society the Annual Report for the Ninetieth Session, 1901-1902. During the past Session, thirteen ordinary meetings, in addition to the Annual Meeting, were held. The Session was a successful one, and the papers were of high average merit and interest. The attendance at the meetings was above the average of that of recent years, and the Council congratulate the Society on this fact. The distinguished name of Professor F. H. Max Müller has been removed by death from the roll of our Honorary Members; on the other hand, the Council has pleasure in recording that Dr. Richard Garnett, C.B., and Rev. W. W. Skeat, Litt.D., Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge, have accepted the invitation of the Society to become Honorary Members. The Annual Dinner of the Society, which was to have been held in February, and at which the Society was to have entertained Lord Avebury, F.R.S., as its guest, was abandoned, in consequence of the lamented death of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The Society during the Session presented, in conjunction with the Liverpool Philomathic Society, an Address to His Majesty King Edward VII, expressing their sorrow in the lamented death of Queen Victoria, and assuring His Majesty of their loyal devotion and support. His Majesty was pleased to accept the Address, and sent to the Society a gracious reply. The membership of the Society shews a slight decrease; the Council hopes that all members will endeavour to reverse this state of affairs during the coming Session. The Treasurer's accounts were submitted, but their final consideration was postponed until the following meeting. The following officers were then elected :-Vice-Presidents, Mr. A. Theodore Brown and Mr. J. Hampden Jackson, re-elected, and Mr. George Curwen, elected by a majority in the place of Rev. E. A. Wesley. Mr. J. W. Thompson was re-elected Hon. Treasurer, and Mr. A. W. Newton, Librarian. The office of Hon. Secretary was not filled, Dr. K. Monsarrat undertaking the duties for a time with the approval of the Society. In place of the five retiring Members of the Council the following were elected:-Mr. R. H. Case, Mr. R. R. |
