 Friday, 18th Jan., 1889. 
 
 «« The most important secular body in this country, apart fronf ihe^ople'* 
 representatives, is the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, !^ reason of ite 
 numbers, the professional and intellectual attainments of us mcnibers, and 
 the position they hol#n the progress of nhe nation and in the working out 
 of itt resources. They are called on to pronounce upon silyeniefl for its 
 advancement, and say in which direction its industry shall follow. The 
 work they are called on to perform is without precedent, for science has 
 never had to contend with the circumstances and obstacles found in the 
 wav of engineering works in this country. Canadian engineers hold as 
 high a position as those in aiy. country, from the dahng nature of their 
 enterprises, and the skill and patience with which they execute their con- 
 ceptions. Here were men working in a common cause wiiIk a community 
 of interest and desire, anAit only remained to weld them toother. This 
 was done when the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers was formed. In 
 Februarv, 1«86, Mr. Alex. Macdougall issued a circular and called a meet- 
 ing jn Toronto, and afterwards he applied to Mr. Kennedy, one of the since 
 vite-presidents, to preside at a meeting of Montn»l engineers for the pur- 
 pose of considering the question. This meetinjj was held on the 4th 
 March. 1886, and resulted in a draft for a constitution. A similar meeting 
 was ciUed by J*r. Macdougall in Ottaw* for 30th Marchi at which the 
 Montreal draft was considered and afterwards amended by the Ottawa local 
 commUtee. Delegates were appointed by the local committees of the three 
 cities, empowered to submit a constitution and elect a provisional cominit- 
 tee. Vho met in Montreal on 9th December, 1886. A circular signed by 
 Mr Macdougall, as provisional secretary, was sent out to members of the 
 proftoion on 21st l)ecember, 1886. enclosing a copy of the con«t't« 'on. 
 and notifying them that the committee would meet in Montreal on the lltb 
 January, 1887, far the election of members, and for the further purpose 
 of Bending out a ballot paper for the officers and council. R«c'P'enJ" 
 were requested to eign a printed slip attached to the circular if they

 tlcHireJ to beccuiie inemberBof /Rft'Society. In .Uiii way the provi«|y>|| 
 cuininittcc woUlJ know- at their iiieetirig in January who were wilpig 
 tojoin, And thus be able to el*ct Buch as members. On the 20lh qf 
 ^miary another circular wasi inBueil by the provisionaV committee^ 
 announcing that 188 gentlemen from all parts of the Dominion 
 had recponded favorably to their- first circular, and requeetmg . 
 iiiemberH to forward their fees to meet printing expenses and cost of char- 
 ter. A ffcneral ineetifigwas hehl. 24ih February, 1887, and application for , 
 oharte^wns made to the Dominion Parliament, which obtained the Hoyal 
 sanction 'illrd June foliowinjf, and then the Society began its legal existence.

 least twenty-rlive years of age, lind must have been engaged in some branch 
 of engineering for at least ten veiirs, which periwl may include apprentice- 
 ship or pupilage in a qualified engineer's office, or a term of instruction 
 in some school of engineering recognized by the council. Two years will 
 be allowed to any graduate who has passed WitU^ honors in his engineering 
 course. In every case the candidate must hive had responsible charge of 
 work ax a resilient or superintending engineer, or mu^t have held a posi-

 this no^merely as a skille*! workman but as an engineer qualilied to«lesign

 should follow in love to the honor of Canadian engineering. , He hoped it 
 would not be tlie last time they woul.l iiieet, and Jie anticipate.1 a pleasant 
 future from his connection with the Caniuliaii Society of Civil bngineers.

 Sir Wm. Dawson, in ceconding the vote of thanks to the president, felt 
 that the hbnor *lone to him by thiH large and disiingnlshed meeting was 
 not a personal matter so much as an acknowledgment of the work 
 ,, the universities were doing for engineering. In 1855, when he was caile.l 
 to the principalship of McGill, in his inaugural address he referred to t he 
 necessity of a school of engineering in the young university. In 18.;t. tlie 
 school was established, and it hasrdeveloi)ed into the important institution 
 which they now saw. Mr. Thomas Keefer, a brother of tha president/gave 
 his advice, guidance (ind assistance in its formation. 1 he president was a 
 patriot in his pi'ofession, and was engaged in great engineering works lor 
 half a century, and now in his young ol,| age showe.l as much y.eal, en- 
 thusiasm, menU»l activity, fire and vigor ft- the voungest there. 
 
 The vote Qf^'thanlis was enthusiastically tendered to Mr. Keeler, wlio 
 made a auKable reply. His Excellency the!» held au informal reception ,

 We the president, officers and members of the Canadian^ Society of Civil 
 Engiflms, S[ncTre"y appreciating the honor of Your Excellency's presence 
 Sr tc^Klay desfre^Joffer yo^ a hearty welcon^ JLXJ^^^jijLSlf o'f

 Synipathy manifested by men whose careers have made their names a 
 power fSr iood always furthers the, interests of a scientific society, and 
 K e 'wcially so when, as in this instance, it is comparatively new, and 
 Ihelelbrf iill L greatly'benefited by such strong external support as will 
 aid it in a^uiring that solidity which can only be gamed by »'?'«• ..^^,._. 
 
 But Your Excellency has done mere U.an this. You ».ave identified 
 yourself with us. We have to^lay to welcome you as an honorary mem- 
 l.er, and in this capacity your support will prove Jo"f'}y '"l"'"'^;.. !». .. 
 
 li appears fitting that the Governor-General should have a place to a 
 truly Canadian society such as ours, whose members are drawn f^ni »11 
 sections of the country, and which has for its chief am> the Pj;omotion of 
 the best interests of the whole Dominion, fto far as they are bound upn 
 the development of its material resources, by works that call Cor the skill 
 and experience of .the civil engineer. . , . . ^ *• . u^ 
 
 May we venture to hope that Your Excellency's administration may be 
 memorable for the zealous prosecution of those puljjic enterprises which . 
 are essential to the building up of this important portion.of the Empire. 
 
 ; Permit us to express our sincere wishes that Your Excellency 8 residence 
 in Canada will pl-ove a source of pleasure to yourself as well as of advantage 
 to the country ; and that Your Excellency and Lady Stanley, with the other 
 members of your family, m»my condnue to enjoyiljreasmg prosperity and

 • . HIS exceIxency's reply. ^ 
 His Excellency then replied. He said it was unusual-qn such an occaswn 
 to listen to a speech, and he was not going to abus^ tbeir kindness, ile 
 was the latest acquisition to the sdfeiety, the junior member of the cla.««, 
 and he would set an example in deference to the order of the president. 
 Subjects were touched whicli needed more than a passing reference, and ur 
 trusted that an occasion would arise when he could go into them m more 
 detail, but he hoped that for the present they would absolve^ him froni any 
 display of lengthinefeB. He expressed the great pleasure he fell in being 
 made a member of so noble a society, representing much that was foremost 
 in the progress of the country. In the old world the iftititary. engineers had 
 taken oiff the rough, but in the Dominion it was not so. The civitengin- 
 eers had to come face to face with new problems, and to overcome difflciU- 
 ties depeniling only on their own training and resources. It was right that
