Fellow Members of the Bostonian Society: It has been my privilege, as well as my satisfaction, to congratulate you each succeeding year since we have occupied these Memorial Halls, upon the progress and success of our organization. Any organization, however, which would use its best efforts to faithfully carry out the objects of this Society would be sure of the encouragement of all who have the best interests of this city at heart, and more especially of those who were born in Boston, have been educated in her institutions of learning, and gained success in business within her limits. The history of one's birthplace, the biography and record of those who have increased it in wealth or added to its commercial importance and industry, - whether it be of predecessors or contemporaries, - the recollection of the scenes of our younger days where youth's first aspirations, hopes and ambitions were formed, clings to the man in maturer years.
