The occasion will be of great interest, and it is hoped that at least five hundred members and friends will be present at the banquet. Each member is at liberty to bring with him as many personal guests as he chooses. A large attendance is desired. It is necessary to know as soon as possible how many will attend the banquet, in order that proper arrangements can be made with the hotel people. To this end, therefore, kindly notify the secretary-general if you intend to be present. Fraternally, EDWARD A. MOSELEY, _President-General_. THOMAS HAMILTON MURRAY, _Secretary-General_. Secretary’s address: 77 Main street, Woonsocket, R. I. Upon the business session being called to order, the ticket placed in nomination by the Council of the Society was presented for action. It was unanimously accepted, adopted and declared the Society’s choice for the ensuing year. The personnel of the ticket is set forth on pages 9, 10 and 11 of this volume. Many new members were proposed and elected to the Society. The annual report of the secretary-general, Thomas Hamilton Murray, was presented. It was as follows: THE SECRETARY-GENERAL’S REPORT. The American-Irish Historical society has become a permanent institution. We are now entering the third year of our existence. Success has attended our efforts from the start, and the future is bright with prospect for continued good work. The society already has a membership of close to 1,000, and the material will compare favorably with that of any historical organization in this country. Among our members are representatives of the Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of the Cincinnati, the Sons of the Revolution, the Military Order of Foreign Wars, the United States Medal of Honor Legion, the Society of Tammany, the Bunker Hill Monument society, the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and several other patriotic bodies. We have also in our membership representatives of literary and educational organizations such as the Papyrus club of Boston, the Twentieth Century club of that city, the American Oriental society, the New England Historic-Genealogical society, the Royal Society of Northern Antiquarians, Denmark, and the Archæological Institute of America. Relative to the great American universities, we number in our ranks alumni of Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Boston, Johns Hopkins, Bowdoin, Brown, Notre Dame, the University of Vermont, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Virginia. The Catholic University at the national capital is represented on our roll by its rector, its vice-rector and three of the faculty.
