The librarian's report showed that most of the usual periodicals had been received at irregular intervals, but that the issue of others had been temporarily suspended.
Professor Whittaker referred to the death of Mr Walter Borland, and it was agreed to insert the following into the minutes and send it to Mrs Borland:
"The Edinburgh Mathematical Society desires to place on record its sense of the loss it has sustained through the death of Mr Walter Borland, F.F.A., A.I.A., one of the most conspicuous among the younger actuaries in Edinburgh. During the brief period he was connected with the Society he showed a keen interest in its work, and there was every expectation that he would prove a valuable member and would enrich its Proceedings with contributions of worth. He had already won a high reputation as a worker and investigator on actuarial mathematics: his untimely death has cut short a career of great promise. The members of the Society unite in expressing their deep sympathy with Mrs Borland in her sorrow."
