Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Worcester Society of Antiquity: For the Year 1897 The President then read the following as his Inaugural Address: To the Members of the Worcester Society of Antiquity: I desire to publicly acknowledge my appreciation of such an endorsement of my endeavors, during the past year, as a unanimous re-election to this honorable position denotes. While results have fallen far short of our desires, yet I think we may congratulate ourselves upon some small portion of permanent result in return for our many activities. It may be that through the increased knowledge of, and interest in, the Society´s work, by reason of the public meetings and articles so generously printed in the Spy, as well as the reports of our meetings in all the daily papers, we have sown seed which will bear rich fruitage in the near future. Never has so general an interest been manifested as now, never so large and important contributions from so many different sources been received, never so many interested visitors to our collections. The annual field day at Deerfield was participated in by those whose presence gave it character, and we can confidently say that the Society secured many important friends through this outing, the success of which is due to the efficient committee who had the matter in charge. Our meetings have been well attended, and many important matters have been presented which will increase the value of our annual publication, not the least of which are the records of Harvard and Front streets, presented by Hon. A. S. Roe and Maj. F. G. Stiles. The presentation by one of the founders of the Society, Mr. Richard O´Flynn, through Charles R. Johnson, Esq., of an important record of the Know-Nothing movement, coupled with the history in review by Prof. Haynes, Ph. D., were notable events of the year. We are now at the commencement of a new year, and as we turn from the past to consider the future, it would be profitable to sum up the uses, value and advantages of the work we are striving to do.
