Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, Vol. 20: Issued May 30th, 1884 We meet to-night to commemorate another session of the Royal Society of Victoria under somewhat new conditions. Hitherto our annual meeting has always been held in our own house, but the growth of the Society and the consequent increasing demands for admission to our yearly gathering has resulted in uncomfortably crowded rooms in the Royal Society building. The Council decided therefore to hold the meeting this year in more spacious premises, and chose this, the Melbourne Athenaeum, for the purpose. Since the annual gathering in September last our Society has entered on its twenty-fifth session. It has increased its member-roll considerably, and, aided by the annual grant from Parliament to help in printing our Transactions, the Society is also, financially speaking, in a satisfactory condition. Our meetings have been fully occupied with papers and discussions on scientific and technical subjects, and, on the whole, I believe I am justified in congratulating you upon a vigorous and healthy progress, and upon the useful work it has done.
