Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Classical Association Proceedings, January 1913, Vol. 10: With Rules and List of Members
Mr. Seaton seconded the motion and expressed regret that Mr. Sleeman was retiring. He had never been connected with any one with whom it was a greater pleasure to work. Nothing seemed to put him out. It was perhaps not the proper time to thank the authorities of Sheffield, but in thanking Mr. Sleeman he could not leave out Professor Summers. The chairman put the vote of thanks as one of personal gratitude and satisfaction, and it was carried. Mr. Sleeman, who was received with applause, said I thank the Association most heartily for their kindness in passing this vote of thanks so cordially. It has been a great pleasure to me to do all I could for the sake of the Association, but I always feel, when I contrast myself with my very distinguished predecessors, that my services are almost worthless in com parison with theirs. I am very glad that Mr. Seaton said what he did about Professor Summers, because I myself disclaim practically any service in connexion with the local arrange ments for this particular Meeting. Professor Summers has managed them almost entirely himself. It is with great regret that I lay down the office which has made me many friends and brought me into contact with a large number of people I should otherwise never have known, and I regret in particular parting with my colleagues, Mr. Caspari and Mr. Seaton, with whom my relations have been of the most cordial description. The chairman. The next business before us is the Report on the Pronunciation of Latin in Public Schools. This Report is rather lengthy and it is doubtful if we can get through it before the Presidential Address. Will the Meeting take it in summary, or postpone it? Mr. Trayes, after some discussion, proposed that the Meeting should reassemble at 2 O'clock to hear and, if necessary, to discuss this important Report.
