GENERAL REMARKS.

During the year, and especially after the fraternity question had been settled, an increasing tendency was manifested to establish more cordial relations between the society and its alumni. The album presented to the society by the class of '83 contained but few photographs of Palladian graduates, and more earnest efforts were made to collect the remainder of the forty which it should now contain.

Some of the old members were present at the reception to the P.G.D.C. at the Commercial hotel after the "Palladian Programme," and from suggestions made by them at that time a movement is now in progress to secure alumni contributions to the Friday night programmes. Many old Palladians have signified their willingness to perform.

The Corresponding Secretary was made to feel that his office would no longer be a sinecure, and in addition to his regular duties was made custodian of Palladian Records. The accumulation of the productions of Palladians for special occasions was vigorously undertaken, and it is the intention to make each year add something permanently valuable to the wealth of Palladian tradition. The enthusiastic efforts of more than a thousand different students have been put forth during the last fifteen years to make the society what it is, and the present members are resolved that if their unshaken loyalty and best endeavour can worthily continue its splendid record, then shall neither its [reputation] nor its actual usefulness suffer at their hands.
