been sent to the printer. It contains the programme for the
coming years, the list of officers, the personnel of the special
and standing committees of the club, the directory of members,
constitution and by-laws of the organization and other detailed
information usually included in its pages. The programme is
expected to be unusually beneficial to the club this year. There
will be more general discussions than usual upon topics of mutual
interest, designed for mutual benefit. The invitation always
extended to some person outside the club, usually a gentleman, to
be present and address the club during the year, has been
