Alpine Club of Canada, Canadian Alpine Journal (1907)

“ The Club is growing fast, but not too fast. The only royal road to membership is by the "Associate" way of twenty-five dollars a year. It is a worthy way and an honorable for men whose circumstances will not permit them to qualify, by way of crag and precipice and glacier; and it is money invested in nationhood, yielding a far-off interest, not of tears but of noble, patriotic temper. For the Alpine Club of Canada will, more than any national sport in the Dominion, weld together the provinces in the bonds of brotherhood ”

“ Wheeler, the "meet," which began as an experiment, ended as an institution. Hearty thanks are owing to many others, but notably to Mr. J. D. Patterson; to the Dominion and Alberta Governments; to the C. P. R. Company, the Royal North-West Mounted Police, the Superintendent of the National Park; and last but not least, to those fine fellows and true lovers of the hills, the men in buckskin—our mountain outfitters. Without the generous help of all these, the Yoho camp had not been possible. ”
