A
Plea for more Outdoor Meetings
1887
James
Crighton made a passionate plea for more Outdoor Meetings in his lecture
to EPS on 4 May 1887. He
said:
“A
bond of Brotherhood, so to speak, is engendered. …
Experiences
are given by men of outstanding ability whose sage counsel and thorough
practical knowledge are of the utmost service to those who, it may be,
are only on the threshold, and with timorous steps feeling their way to
attain to some degree of perfection in what they have put their hands to
– men to whom, because of their skill, we make profound obeisance, and
cherish the memory of others who have been removed from this sublunary
sphere giving us all an encouragement to emulate them ….
Such
men as I have indicated have been, and are now, on the roll of
Membership of the Edinburgh Photographic Society.”
