"Honor to Mr. H. Abbott, Mrs. A. Lothian Russell,
Mrs. LeFevre, Mr. Mackintosh Gow
and others who are responsible for this interesting little exhibition. May their
ambitions be realized, may a permanent art gallery be a welcome addition to Vancouver's
public institutions, may art scholarships and art lectures in the near future be the
outcome of the earnest efforts of the little "bunch" of art workers and art lovers who
are unobtrusiveley doing such welcome service for the community today."

to mark improvement and progress."
