The objects of the institute ara describad
The cultivation of knowledge and information in all matters relating to the various branches of insuranca by means of-
(a) The reading of papers or delivery of leotares upon technical or other subjects:
The awarding of prizes for papors of erit written by members:
(c) The ciroulation of a journal containing articles of technical and general interest contributed by members;
(d) A reference library and reading-room and if possible, a lending library
(e) A museum containing specimens of home, foreign,
and colonial products, models, parts drawings, and photographs, of machinery, appliances, and other objects of interest.
Is being understood that as regards lecture, papers, and proceedings generally, due care will be taken not to conflict with the cbjects and carrículum of the Institute of Actuaries or the functions of the Fies Officers' Committee, or of the Accident Office Association.
Insurance institates on somewhat similar lines have been established for many years in the prin- cipal insurance centres of the country and have proved of much service, especially to younger officials. The need for a really strong rapre soutative instinto in London has been long felt: the one which has just boen constitu'ed starts under the most favourable auspices, and should meet with overy success.
