St. Andrew’s Society of ‘Washington. D. C., is the oldest existing associa- tion formed for benevolent and soclal ) purposes, and was founded on Janu- . ary 23, 1855 in the home of the late William R. Smith, for 50 years director ~ ©f the Botanical Gardens. On Junuary” 25 of the new vear, the society will Bold its annual banquet, and this will be the seventy-second in its annals. When Mr. Smith formed the society it was found that an older one existe: in Baltimore, and that many of those who lived in \Washington, who were of Scotch anc or actual birth, had been in habit of attending the banquet given there on the feast of Scotland's ron saint, November 30.

He was so president of the Burns Club and hud gathered & most valuable and un- usual collection of Burns’ edition, of critical reviews of the poems and of old prints. This club met in union with the St. Andrew’s for the banquet, and a flavor of the heloved bard of Avshire was lent to these early meet- ings In recent years the several Scotch socleties in Washington, the Caledo- nian Club, which has a distinctly athletic trend, and the Highlanders, which are horsemen, and which flour- fshed greatly under the leadership of the late Gen. Jjames A. Buchanan, U. S fte co-operate with the , the St. Andrew’s, and it is anticipated that the many members will attend this banquet on January when plans will be laid for an elaborate celebration for the society’s seventy-fifth birthday. In 1901, following the lead of so many similar organizations in Wash- ington, the members of St. Andrew’s drew up articles of incorporation and these were signed by the oldest mem- bers then in control. These were Willlam Fraser Small, -John Me- Gregor, William Ramsay, John H. Small, jr., and Archibald Malcolm Me- Lachlen, sr. Mr. McLachien, who was the head of the Clan McLachlen and president of the bank which bears his name, had been for years an able and infivential member of St. An- drew’s and was its president for sev- eral years. His son, Bugene McLach len. followed him in office and was president in 1923-24. The present offl- cers are: Shelton T. Cameron, presi- dent; Wiillam T. Galliher, first vice president: Rev. George W. Atkinson, | second vice president: Robert Watson, { secretary, and John Malcolm McLach- len, treasurer. Number of C | Besidéd the larger Scotch societies n Washington there are a number of clans which maintain headquarters here and whose members often affill- ate with the St. Andrew’s in their charitable and social activities. The Clan MacClellan has many members in Washington, and it has recently founded an insurance fund among its members and embracing all those who live in the United States. The Clan McGregor, of which Caleb Clark Ma- gruder s the chieftain, is active in Washington and in the St. Andrew's ¢Soclety and in many other historic clans—the McLeans, the McAfees, the Camerons, MacDonalds and MacKen- zles. There are about five or six meetings a vear of the assoclated bodies, besides the banquet 6n Robert Burns' birthday. The membership of St. Andrew’s approaches 150. There are several honorary members, among whom are Willlam Fraser Small, the | oldest associate and for several years president of the soclety; Maj. Gen. | John A. Lejeune, who, though of | French descent and from Louisiana, honors the intrepid saflors of Nova a; Rear Admiral W. Baird, U. § X., and George Mann of .
