9 Ffhis Evening The Sixty-Third Annivers...
9 fFHIS evening the Sixty-third Anniversary - * - Festival of the Printers' Pension
Corporation will be held at the Freemasons ' Tavern , under the presidency of Dr . John
Evans . The annual report is before us , and we rejoice to notice that the Council are able
Ito state that ' continued prosperity' has attended the endeavours of an institution
which is both charitable and provident in its operations . All who are interested in the
printing ^ b trade are probably aware that the Corporation sprang out of an effort of
self-, help—the Printers' Pension Society—which originated on the 3 rd of December , 1827 , and
which was intended for the ' relief of aged , infirm , and distressed workmen and their
widows , in the several branches of the printing trade . ' The movement at once enlisted
the warm sympathy and powerful support of many distinguished people , and in the list of
those who have advocated its claims at anniversary festivals like that which is to be held
to-night occur the names of Lord John Russell , Lord Morpeth , the first Earl of
Dur-1 ham , and other well-known statesmen . As far back as 1845 Mr . Disraeli took the chair ,
, and exactly twenty years later Mr . Gladstone occupied it for * the first , but not the last ,
; time . Forty-seven years- ago Charles Dickens presided at the Festival , and it is difficult to
' believe that twenty-two years have elapsed since ! Dean Stanley rendered a similar occasion
, memorable by one of his exquisitely felicitous addresses . These are but a few representative
names from the list of men of light and leading who have lent their influence to an
institution which has great and growing claims * upon Mk all '—to borrow Dean Stanleymr ' s
words— ' who have written and all who have »;

9 Ffhis Evening The Sixty-Third Annivers...
It is particularly gratifying to know that I during the past year the Rev . Francis Jacox I
has founded three additional pensions for the I benefit of Printers' Headers . This opportune
example of thoughtful munificence is one which i we hope will be promptly followed by many
who stand in even closer relationship to the I printing trade than Mr . Jacox . The
foundation of the Readers' Pension , a result which has been brought about by members of the
* London Association of Correctors of the Press , ' is also another important item of the
year ' s proceedings . The scheme for the extension and endowment of the Almshouses
at Wood Green has also made considerable progress during the past twelve months , and
there is every likelihood that this largehearted proposal will be carried ere long to a
successful issue . The Council lay stress in their report on the large percentage of
candidates who are elected to the benefits of the Printers' Corporation . At the election recently
held , for example , there were sixty-two applicants , and out of this large number no leas than
thirty-four were elected . It only remains for us to add that the Printers' Corporation is
most admirably managed , and that to its singularly honourable and useful history it is
year by year adding weighty additional reasons for the hearty and even enthusiastic support '
of the rank and file of the Trade , as well as for the confidence and liberality of those who are
charitably disposed .
