we'll attended.
Mr.. j. G. Caldwell moved that q
committee Of five, to include the Pres
ident of the Society, be appointed to
arrange suitable ceremonies for the

tho Society and the citisens conformity.
(The contract for the additions to
the College building has already been
given out, and the work will very
shortly commence.) ...... ..
Mr.. G., III. McMaster moved to amend
by having the building of the teacher's
residence preoede the purchase Of fur
