HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE Your Hospitality Committee felt that the prime purpose for the appointment of this Committee was to get the new members of the Club acquainted with the old members at the earliest possible date after admission to the Club. It seemed that a properly conducted dinner would offer the best opportunity for accomplishing this purpose. Accordingly, personal letters were sent to every new member and to the sponsors for that new member. The result was an attendance of two hundred and eight at a dinner which was given on the evening of Tuesday, November 30, with about as many old members attending as new. Arrangements for special parties were discouraged, the members being seated as they came, at tables laid for ten. To insure a general "get together" each member of the Committee designated a lieutenant, which enabled us to place at each table a Committee man whose duty was to see that everybody met everybody else. With the amount of talent in the Club it appeared that we need go to but very little expense for outside entertainment. Accordingly, the following program was arranged, with Ex-President George S. Smith presiding. Mr. Smith presented President George H. Ellis, VicePresident Charles H. Thurber, Secretary John J. Walsh and Treasurer A. B. Beeching, all of whom responded with brief addresses, explaining the advantages and purposes of the Club. Mr. Frank Sibley of the Boston Globe spoke interestingly of the "International Fishermen's Yacht Race." Mr. J. C. Higgins entertained pleasantly with recitations in dialect. Mr. Augustus T. Beatey, in the words of P. H., "was in excellent voice and delighted a large and enthusiastic and fashionable audience." An enjoyable part of the dinner was the general singing conducted by Moses J. Brines. The program was concluded by a motion picture presentation. GENTLEMEN: FORUM COMMITTEE In behalf of the Forum, I wish to report that the Forum season this year appeared to be more successful, showed a livelier interest, and a larger attendance on the average than any previous year. We have held thirteen meetings so far, the closing meeting to take place on the twenty-fifth of this month, making fourteen meetings in all. During the season we expended $266.05, amount of the appropriation of one thousand dollars made for this Committee. The attendance averaged in the neighborhood of four hundred, the smallest meeting with an attendance of about two hundred, and several meetings that ran from seven to eight hundred. From the reports that have come to me, personally, I should say that the season, as a whole, has been extremely satisfactory to the members who have attended the meetings, and I am strongly of the belief that the Forum may justly be considered a worth-while addition to the Club. At the first meeting of the Board of Governors, following the annual election on Monday, April 25, the following officers were elected: President, George H. Ellis; First Vice-President, Prof. Charles B. Breed; Second Vice-President, A. C. Webber; Secretary, John J. Walsh; Treas urer, A. B. Beeching. New committee appointments will be announced in the October issue of the BULLETIN. George W. Crampton NECROLOGY William V.
