Book Description
Excerpt from Centenary Book of the Burns Club of Dumfries: With Full Account of the Anniversary Dinner on 23rd January, 1920, and Historical Sketch of the Club Since Its Formation on 18th January, 1820 The Centenary Dinner of the Dumfries Bums Club was in many ways an event of so much interest that the Dumfries and Galloway Courier and Herald have decided to issue a book from a Report of the Proceedings. There could be no more fitting publishers, for John M'Diarmid. the first Proprietor and Editor of the Courier, and his son, William Ritchie M'Diarmid. were for more than fifty years chief among those who upheld the honour of Burns in Dumfries. William Ritchie M'Diarmid was Secretary of Dumfries Burns Club for no less than 33 years. Again, it was as Editor of the Courier that Thomas Aird gave his poetic and gentle presence to Dumfries for 30 years, and all lovers of Burns of the last Dumfries generation had also a tender place for Aird. The Burns Dinner of 1920 was a wonderful tribute to the vitality of the love of the Poet, for the number who sat down to the "cup of kindness" more than doubled the highest previous record during the hundred years of the Club's existence. It was specially favoured by the number of distinguished guests from a distance, who honoured the Club by joining them in paying tribute to The Immortal Memory, and by the quality of their speeches. Most remarkable of all was the spirit of the whole gathering. There were 140 men present who neither spoke nor sang, but one felt, in a way seldom experienced, that everyone present had an active and responsive part in the spirit of the meeting. It would have been a thousand pities had there been no permanent record of so notable a communion of spirit.
