The same spirit of honesty, integrity, and industry that has pervaded the life of the society in the past was present in the men who assembled together on that evening to lay plans for a vigorous helpful year together. As heretofore, a large part of the time of the society will be devoted to searching out the truth about current pub¬ lic questions and the means of reaching the truth will be earnest debate.
