This printed document appears to be a list of the people attending this dinner and their seating arrangements. Under the title it states: “Guests will find seats assigned to them at the Great Table, names at plate; all others are assigned by numbers. The Committee has used every effort to seat the diners agreeably. Late subscribers will find their names on the addendum list. Many requests were made to change the seating arrangements after the list had been sent to the printer; changes may be made by mutual consent. The seating arrangement for the Great Table includes 28 individuals, including Osler, Francis Delafield, W.W. Keen, S. Weir Mitchell and W.H. Welch, among many others. The remainder of the pamphlet lists all other attendees (hundreds) by alphabetical order.
