Opening Remarks Transactions of EPS in March 1902 reported on the opening of the exhibition: “Mr Lang Todd emphasized the well known axiom that the road to success is through our failures; that if we studied our failures instead of discarding them, there would not be such a long succession of them. |
|
Opening Concert Transactions of EPS reported that the Opening Remarks were followed by a concert arranged by F P Moffat, with the following entertainment: - Madame Hamilton Kedslie: a couple of violin solos. - Miss Meta Brotchie: a dance and song in Japanese character. - Miss Mina Watt: a pianoforte solo - Mr A E Moffat: a couple of violoncello solos - Miss Lucy Hamilton + Mrs Nesbitt: accompaniments with much taste |
|
Medals Transactions of EPS reported on the awards to be made at the exhibition: “A new principle, as far as this Society is concerned, was introduced this year, in that the competitive element was absent. One class only of medal was given, and the number to be awarded was left to the Judges' discretion. One picture did not, therefore, compete with another, but all had to pass a standard of excellence fixed by the Judges themselves." |
