&lt;p&gt;4. The Subject of Plato was then taken F. E. Pollard explained briefly the subject and manner 
of ""The Republic""

&lt;p&gt;After supper Chas E. Stansfield read from Book 7 of the ""Republic"" ""The Cave"" this reading 
being illustrated by a 
diagram kindly made and explained by F. E. Pollard. F. E. Pollard then outlined for us the main 
thoughts of Platos [sic] 
Philosophy Ideas the true reality[.] The evening concluded by T. C. Elliott reading the affecting 
account of Socrates 
death in the Phaedo. Thus came to an end a most interesting evening."&lt;/p&gt;
