Ryan HoeyGUEST
Its highest ideals, shall we say, would be my main thing from looking back at the history.

Daniel ToftGUEST
fact that for so long the traditions of the society were respected by president after president after president and were upheld and looking back that appears for me to be of sort of incredible importance those ideas that Ryan set out of impartiality and you know over the years right up to the society's collapse in the late 60s you know the commitment to impartiality and regardless of any one person's particular background, nobody tried to change the society into something that it isn't up until that point.

Daniel ToftGUEST
But also, you know, what I would have looked back on is there was key points in the society's history that when you look at the minutes, and it's not just minutes in the library, there's also pamphlets, there's tickets to conversazione from that point in time, there are, you know, term cards or whatever they called them back then.

Daniel ToftGUEST
Seeing how each president and council put their own spin on things and altered things slightly to suit them, and brought something fresh.

Daniel ToftGUEST
And the names of people that move up from the council, you can see, I think, over the long period of time that it wasn't the same people over and over again.
