Excerpt from Report of Proceedings: With the Papers Read at the Annual General Meeting Held at Cambridge, July 7th, 8th 9th, 1891<br><br>The main business of the meeting was the reading and discussion of papers, but a very important feature consisted of the visits paid to several Cambridge Museums and libraries, visits which were additionally instructive from the excellent guidance under which they were made. It was very encouraging to all engaged in Museum work to see the great importance attached to Museums in connection with the University teaching, as was evidenced by the extensive and magnificent buildings that had been erected for Museum' purposes and the vast collections that had been got together. Excellent opportunities were afi'orded for the social intercourse of the members; we must especially mention a Reception and Soirée given by the President at Trumpington House where the most tasteful and agreeable surroundings rendered this intercourse doubly pleasant.<br><br>In this Report will be published the papers read at the meeting and the discussions on those papers and also a brief record given of other business transacted.
