This will be the fourth winter of its existence, and the series of lec- tures and debates which it has provided have been of the very first order. The first president of the Society was Mr. H. F. Mc- Rae, during the winter of 19414, and the old Hall on Centre Street was crowded at every meeting of the Society. Then in 1912, un- der the presidency of Mr. F. A. Ellis, many will remember the famous encounter on Govern- ment by Commission, between ex-Alderman Lynch and ex-Edi- tor J. 8. Cowper. Another fam- ous debate was on Woman Suff- rage, when quite unexpectedly a real, life suffragette appeared the seene, and held the floor for most of the evening. Besides, there have been lec- tures on subjects of the most di- nature. Capt. Fred Stork can fill a hall of any dimensions when he begins to reminisce on bis trip to the e@ronation. Judge Young gave an intensely mteresting address on Crimin- ology. Ex.-Ald, Mobley is a fas- cinating speaker on the person- al side of pioneering. For a well- on verse balanced judgment on current problems — from Home Rule to British Landlordism — the club looks to G. R,. Naden who was elecled as its president last year.
