JUBILEE COMMEMORATION MEETING.
57
Principal of the College, our member, Dr. T. S. Baillie; mean-
while, the general company began an inspection of the numer-
ous exhibits which had been arranged in the Great Hall and
which occupied the attention of the guests throughout the
evening. Tea was served at fixed intervals in the Refreshment
Room of the College, and music was provided by a ladies' trio,
whose playing was warmly appreciated. At 6.30 o'clock, a
lantern talk was given by Mr. W. E. Glegg, F.Z.S., on "Some
Features of Essex Bird-Life," and at 7.15 o'clock one by Mr. S.
Hazzledine Warren, F.G.S., on "The Land of Lyonesse in
Essex;" at both these lectures the Physics Lecture Theatre was
filled to its capacity with appreciative audiences.
The Museum was closed to the general public from 2 o'clock
on, and was open throughout the evening for the inspection
of the guests, many of whom availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of a re-examination of the exhibited specimens.
In the Great Hall, too, many special exhibits were made.
Around the walls was arranged a large number of photographs
and prints illustrating Essex topography, from the Museum's
Pictorial Survey Collection, and another equally large series
of prints kindly loaned by Mr. J. Avery was also on exhibition.
Display tables had been set out on the floor of the Hall and
on them a variety of interesting objects were exhibited by mem-
bers and friends, including the following:—
By the President. Marine organisms, mostly from the Essex
coast, which had been prepared by the late Dr. Sorby over
