- W4256058545 abstract "It was no mean occasion that the members of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society met together on Wednesday, September 20, to celebrate. To have held aloft the lamp of learning for a hundred years, and to have conserved and preserved, amid all the changing scenes and conditions of a century, the ancient ruins of St. Leonard's Hospital, the Roman Wall and the Multangular Tower, the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey, and built up a museum second to none in the provinces in the richness of its collections, is indeed a record of which the society might feel justly proud. Moreover, during this period the society has been instrumental in founding two most powerful and wide reaching institutions, for the Yorkshire Museum was the birthplace and cradle of the British Association and the younger Museums Association. It was therefore very fitting that the society should celebrate the occasion of its' hundredth birthday and receive the congratulations of its honoured patron His Majesty the King, and various universities and learned societies. Mr. W. H. St. Quintin, the president, occupied the chair, and was supported by the vice-presidents and council, the hon. treasurer (Mr. Edwin Gray), the hon. secretary (Mr. C. E. Elmhirst), the keeper of the museums (Dr. Walter E. Collinge), and the Rt. Hon. the Lord Mayor, the City Sheriff, Aldermen, and Council. After briefly tracing the history of the society, the work it has done, and recounting its benefactors, Mr. St. Quintin pointed out that a considerable sum of money will be necessary if the society is to continue its good work for the advancement of science, and he asked that in this, its centenary year, a substantial amount should be forthcoming. Addresses were read or presented from a number of leading scientific societies and other national institutions. His Highness the Maharaj Rana of Jhalawar offered congratulations on behalf of the Indian Empire, and congratulatory messages were received from other distinguished people. At the close of the meeting a highly picturesque procession was formed to the Cathedral, where a special evensong was held, the Lord Bishop of Beverley officiating. The delegates and visitors were later entertained to dinner in the De Grey Rooms, after which a conversazione was held in the Yorkshire Museum and the Tempest Anderson Hall." @default.
