Excerpt from Proceedings, of the Worcester Society of Entiquity, Vol. 21

The responsibility of my presence here to-night as your presiding officer rests entirely with you, you having for the third time chosen me as your President, this time certainly without my consent. I, however, am constrained to accept the honor, and excuse you for your rash act. The compliment paid me in this re-election, I assure you, is fully appreciated, and I assure you of as faithful service in the interests of the Society as my ability and circumstances will permit, trusting that I may have the earnest co-operation of the several committees, members and friends of the Society, to the end that greater progress may be attained in advancing the scope and usefulness of the Society in its chosen field.
