Anniversary Address

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  21 April 2011

Extract

At Our Anniversary Meeting, or birthday party, this venerable Society celebrates St George's Day on the nearest convenient date for the 239th time since its royal charter was granted by Letters Patent in November 1751. We meet, after the formal but not unimportant business has been disposed of, to do three things: to witness and applaud the presentation of medals in recognition of valuable services to archaeology; to pass in quick review some of the outstanding features of the Society's year just past; and to allow the President to make observations on some more general matter that he thinks deserves the attention of the Fellowship. First, then, to our medallists.
