Address at the Annual Convention at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, June 30th, 1897
As we meet in this historic city, our Society is, for the second time, the guest of a hospitable neighbor and friend. In 1881 the American Society of Civil Engineers held its annual convention in Montreal. The President was then a man whose memory we recall with professional reverence and personal feelings of the most affectionate character, James B. Francis. In the opening of his address he took occasion to say that the membership was then 636, and that “the most interesting event to the Society, since the last convention, had been the purchase of a house, in the City of New York, as a permanent home, at a cost of $30 000.”
