Excerpt from Officers of the Canadian Institute: 1897 1898In the same year the Hon. G. W. Allan presented the Institute with a site for a building on Pembroke Street. It was gratefully accepted but was afterwards re-conveyed to Mr. Allan and the present site on Richmond Street was purchased in 1863. Plans for a building were at once prepared, but the Institute did not find itself financially able to proceed with its construction until 1875, when the work was begun and carried to completion in 1876, very largely through the per sistent efforts of Professor Loudon, now President of the Toronto University.It is somewhat curious to note that in 1859 there was a proposal to change the name to The Royal Society Of Canada, or The Royal Academy of Sciences of Canada. The governor-general did not look on the proposal favourably and it was dropped.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
