Has anyone ever noticed that the minutes of the first regular meeting were dated "August 9th"???
Was that meeting three hours long, or did JGS just do the write-up the next day - or what?
It's amazing to think how many years have run by - the work of eight young men, in age from 19 to 27 sill having its effect. How they must watch in amazement as we still recall their names and their labours, even here on this technical marvel...
Quote:
"Be worthy of the name they gave,
In friendship strong and true,
Base actions scorn with loathing deep,
The noblest paths pursue,
Be pure in life, in virtue strong,
And may the Father's eye,
Watch you that you'll meet again,
A happy band on High."
