Butterfield has found it necessary to resign his seat on the Devonshire College, Body No. 1, the governing body of the Saltus Grammar School. In so doing he has severed a long family connection, for he succeeded his father on that body. He still, however, retains his place as a Trustee of the Saltus Fund. We are glad of the opportunity to welcome in his place on the governing body of the School, another Saltus Old Boy, Mr. Bernard T. Gosling.

Among other business discussed at the meeting, Old Boys will be interested to know that a set of plans for the proposed Gymnasium was offered for preliminary consideration. Since the first estimate was made, however, the costs of building have risen to such an extent that the original fund of £5,000 is now less than a third of the estimated cost.
