Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the Canadian Ciub of Montreal: Season 1915-1916
The average attendance of members at luncheons was three hundred and seventy-three - a slight decrease from last year's average of three hundred and ninety-one, but easily explainable. Twenty regular meetings were held during the year. The subjects of the addresses were all but one the present War in its various aspects. So far as it was possible speakers were obtained to deal with the situations of the various Allied Countries en gaged. In advance of the regular Season the Club gave its auspices to a public meeting on the anniversary of the declaration of War. The meeting was to have been held under the auspices of the mcgill Graduates' Society acting on behalf of The Central Committee for National Patriotic Organizations. The Executive of that Society being dispersed at the time the Canadian Club was appealed to to take up the work of organizing the meeting and providing the speakers. It was very fortunate in obtaining as Speakers the present Sir Thos. White and the Hon. R. Lemieux, to whom the Club has been more than once indebted, and the meeting that was addressed by them was probably one of the largest public meetings ever held in the Dominion. Recognition should here be given to the Grenadier Guards Band, whose services were given for half the usual charge.
