The note reads:

There are certain individuals who, by their devoted activity over
many years, render such outstanding service to an organization that the
value of this service is difficult to express in words. I think it
is quite safe to say that, as far as The Royal Astronomical Society of
Canada is concerned, no one has done more to promote its aims and
objective than the late Clarence Augustus Chant.
