Tthe Friends of Queen's:S Chaiicu11or of ()ueeu's University, 1. have feit ht incunîbent on mie to placebefore tlie entire constituency of Quleei's thle fellowitngý brief explanation.

JUThe unexpected action of the Generial Assembly at Vancouver i 1903and at St. Johin in 1904, affords prooi of the re-awa1'eiug of -an intense interestaiîd feeling iii favoi- of thc aims \vhjiiCl inspired[ the fouinders of (ýtneen's.

The I>resbyterians of Canada, following the tradition of their fathers,hiave always souglit to foster liberal educatiori. Nearly thrce quarters of a cen-tury ago tlie Scotch settiers hegan a meoveinent whlîih eventuallv led to theestablishment by Royal Charter ai Kingston of a scat of learninîg, wvhere C(luca-tion, while not divorcefi froni Cliristian iiiîflucuce, xvould bc open to every Cana-dian of wlhatceer race or crecd.

Some years later a grave dlivisioni, kiioý\,n as the Disrtiption, arose in theI other t hurchi in Scotland, and spreadiiig te Canada intcrfered seriolnsly for

> cars witli the wcrk ani proý,rcss of tIR Uiîix ersity. IlT lii iilty is neowlialpily eudfed, ali( at least in this ceuiitr> thc Cliturch lias again becomne )ne.11n more recent years the progress of the( University, owig to the f oresighit of itsfeunders ani the wvise guiiance of far-sceing uien, lias been distirictly gratify-iîîg. Evidelice of its ra1iid development uiay be foinid in tht steady increase ofstu(flcnts aiid the > early uccessity (of cnlarging the silafl cf I rofessors. At thedate of thc J isrutptioii there wcýrc iii aIl 13 students in attcîidance tunder tlire,I rofessors. î\t present the students iiîuîubcr S3)7 and the tcacluing staff hiaslicen increased from three Io sixty-fotr. Witli thirteen students a small frame(lwelling afforded sufficieiit accommodation. There arc at the present timie ninebuildings, whicli form an imposing- grcup within a spacious ýcollege park oftwenty acres. A special interest is attaclied to the last building, completed onlya few weeks ago. It stands on the, western side of the qiîadrangle, and itslofty camnpaniile adorns tlîe wliole groîîp. On Noveniber 7tth the students, num-l)eriiig witli their friends more than tývo thotnsand, assenibled within its walls topreserit it fornially as a frce gift te the University, and te ask thLt it be dedica-Led as a Memorial Convocation Hall in lionouir of Principal tirant. Thie erec-tien of this m-agnificent Hall restilted frorn a spontaneous nmovement of the stu-dlents wlîo earnestly desired to express in this forîn their regard and affectionfer Ilîcir late lîeloved niaster. Tlue building was form-ally received from thestifdents, was selemnlly (le(icated, aîud will be kne-wni as Grant Hall. It is afitting monumnent to the neuîory of a uuuan who, imbneod witlî the spirit of thefoulnders, laboured to carry ont tieir patriotic iins. It is a tribute of affectionfor one who was an inspiratioui w the graiï1iates, and lias left behind him an in-flu-ence for good which will long endure.

THE KINGSTON BUILDING,*

This building is, as the Chancellor'sletter states, the golden link w'hichbinds the University to the city. Aftera hasty glance at its massive walls andtunrelieved sky-line which bespeak:severe economy, but whidh the stu-dent soon learns to love, let us stepinside. We may either go down tothe ground floor or up a few steps ini-

students -of ail faculties find readinginatter to their taste. As this room islarge and can be easily decorated, itfigures conspicuously on social occa-sions.

Upstairs there is the saine generalarrangement of a long hall lined withrooms-the heavy doors of the mainentrance and the north entrancefacing each other in the centre. On

THE SPIRIT 0F QUEEN'S.

T HE Colege song says ini a sorte-what piayfui tone that "Queen'sis quite unique." There is soine soidtrutli in the saying. She lias whatflot very mnany tiniversities on thiscontinent can claim, a cicar-cut in-dividuality. She impresses an un-mistaýkable conmun stamp ripon lierproduets. Her gracluates can readilybe known as bers, andi fot anotber's.There is a certain central life in ber ofa vigorus and well-marked typewhicb is bier own.

It expresses itsclf in a goud înianyvarions ways. Different ubserversare struck by different manifestationsof it. Ever> une notices for instancethat lier uncler-graduates and aluniare greatly atýtacheci to her. Tbey be-lieve in bier to an extent wlîicli attainsto quantitative statement in actnialpecuniary sacrifice flot equalled in thebistory of uiniversities. iFroin Chan-cellor tu, Freshman hier cunistituentsare a mnit wbiere slie is cuncerncd.They ail bave a feeling of personalownersbîp iin lier and1 take buld witbenergy Mien need arises. As T'bucy-dides says of the Athenians, "Everyman tbinks the work is at a stickwhere bie is not persunally enigageci"-just the opposite of the state ofniatters frequent ini the acalenicworld as in the rest of the worldwhen "what is everybody's businessis nobody's businiess." Tbis activeparticipation of each in the comimoneffort of ail goes closely with whiatothers notice as remnarkable inQueen's, namely, thle self-help andiself-government su unusnially devel-oped among ber students. To agreat extent tbey manage flot ouulytheir own affairs but also wbat in

Hence aniotber note ofQuieen's tbat flnds g-encrai recognition-the excellent relations bectweet, stuldents and professurs known t liecbiaracteristic of bier. Tberc is no(Yreat c-ulf fixedl.

Sbie is a part of tbecommun life of the cotintry realizingvividly lier responsibility to do some-thing effective to\vards toucliing thatto fine issues. Onie way in xvhich suiedues it is thronghi the Queen's Quar-terly. And indced the peculiar in-tensity of life tlhat marks lier couldscarcely be miore palpably demionstra-ted on its bigbiest s ide than by the factthat for twelvc vears witbout inter-ruption tlîis truly first-class periodicalbas been isstied steadîly from a King-


ston printing press. Good judges saythat there is nothing like it in thiscountry. And it is steadily rising inquality. The last number has beenpronounced by one who knows to be"4quite upon the level of the greatEnglish Quarterlies."

Now ail this is sufflciently remnark-able, and ail of il hangs together.But what is the root of it all? I thinkthat was seized by Dr. Reichel, a mem-ber of the Mosely Commission. Hefouind in Queen's a type of "the bestScottish university traditions." Theywere an embodiment of the great dis-tiýnctive principle of the Reformation,and especially of Presbyterianism-the unity of truth. Their aini xasflot to produce craftsrnen but educa-ted men, men w ho lived and workedin the light of large ideas, who sawthe whole in the part which they hadchýosen for their own special field ofactivity. They made the Arts Facul-ty, the organ of a general liberal cul-ture, the centre of the whole univers-ity. Partly in conSequence of hertraditions, partly of her poverty, part-ly of certain powerful personalitieswhiéh have helped to shape hier,Queen's has heen the banner-bearerof this principle in Canada. This ishcr distinctive quality, the very soulof her, f rom wihich ail else springs,the energetic concentration withwhich she has realized and embodiedthe unity of truth.

And-true to her Presbyterian tra-ditions-the sacrednýess and savingpower of truth. 0f ail truth. Notmierely of some specially labelledbrand. Therefore she has always re-fused to draw a hard and fast line be-tween the sacred and the secular.Arts and Theology have always been

inseparable in Queen's. lier profes-sors in Arts have always couinted noless as professors in Theology. Atthe Alumni Conference thýey have ai-ways contributed the greater part ofthe programme. And on the otherhand lier professors of Theologyhave a very decided influence inrnoulding the under-cgraduates inArts. The Sunclay afternooýn ad-dresses given impartially from citherside of the house reach ail our stu-dents. So do the classes in the Eng-lish Bible which mncet twice a week.These týhings are cotunted iii Qtueen'sas a necessary part of general culture,and no subject of general culture isregarded as othier than sacred. Inone word then, the spirit of Queen'smay he described as a certain fearlessand open-eyed reverence. That iswhy her students love and honour berand are ready to. prove their faith bysacrifice.

H-OSPITAL TWCKETS,

By an arrangement with the inan-agers of the Kingston (ieneral Hos-pital any regîstered student can secuirefor one dollar, a ticket entitling theholder, in case of sickness, to Hlospi-tal attendance, including rooin antiout-door treatment, during the futllcollege session. ]By mecans of this ar-rangement, which is a sort of insur-ance, many students receive, with theexception of the attendance of a pby-sician, ail other requisite attention incase of sickness or accident, whichmight otherwise cost themn more thanthe average student can well afford topay. No one who does not make useof bis ticket grudges his dollar wiienhe considers tlue henefit received byhis less fortunate fellow-students.


ALUMNI CONFERENCE.

W HILE the Genera] Assembly of1891 was inisession in Kings-ton, a meeting of Qtieen's Alumni wascalled, chiefly with a view of exteýnd-iag the interest in the work of Dr.Smith, the College miissionary, thenlabouring in the Province of Hoýnan.At this meeting it was agreed to or-ganize a society which should formi abond of union between the older andthe younger Alumni, and afford betteropportunity of rnaintaining and in-creasing the efficiency of the Theo-logical department of Queen's. Thcday followiýng, a committee was ap-pointed to draft a constitution for thenew Society.

In October of the samie year, theSociety met, adopted the constitutionprepareci by the commnittee, and from,the membershýip of ýthis committeeelected these officers :

Presideýnt-Rev. D. J. Macdonnell.Vice-President-Rev. M. Macgilli-

vray.Secrtary-Rev. Alfred Gandier.The other niembers of the commit-

te, w,:rc Messrs. Milligan, Cumiber-land, James Ross, J. G. Stuart, andA. H-. Scott.

As stated ini thle constitution, themain ob)jects oif the Society were:

(i ) Tlo bring the TheologicalAluimni into dloser relation with oueanother.

(2) To sectire increased intcrest inlthe Theological Departmient ofQtieen's in order to its more adequatemaintenance.

(3) 'lo confer regarding ail mat-ters affecting TIheology and i7heo-logical education.

1The ncw Society sclecteýd an AIum-

nus of Qtteen's froin each Presbytery

of the western section, who was tohave special charge of the work of thesociety in his own Presbytery. Acommittee was named to consider theadvisability of establishing a shortcouirse of lectures for the benefit ofthe Theological Alumni, and to takeaction, if necessary. On ithis corn-mnittee were Messrs. M. Macgillivray,John Hay, D. Ross, and D. Me-Tavish. Through their action thefirst annual meeting of the confer-ence was called in April, 1892.

Already the membership had grownto thirty-o-ne, and on April 27th therecame in twenty new mcnbers. Firstamiong these was the Chanýcellor, SirSandford Fleming; next camne Pro-fessor Macnaughton, and a number,of students also enrolled themnselves.That was a day of promise for 'the so-ciety. The comnmittee hrought in fourmain recorumendatio-nS. (1) A courseof lectures on Higher Criticism andthe New Testament by the Principal.(2) A course of studies rby ProfessorWatson on ithe Philosophy of Re-ligion. (3) That sufficienit time beallowed after each study to ask ques-tions, and have general discussion.(4) 'Phat those having charge of thecourses of study prepare an outline ofthe course, recommnend books for re-ference, and assign subjects for es-says.

By arrangement of the committee,,the First Alumni Conference met inthe Senate Roorn on Feb. 7th, 1893.Principal Grant presided and openeda discussion on the general principlesof Biblical Criticism. Prof. Watsonconducted the discussion on "ThePhilosophy of Religion as Represent-ed in Luther and the Reformiation,"

and essays were read oni varionisPhases of the subject i)y Messrs. Mil-ligani, IIa\, ( andier aic McTavisii.Through the kindiness of professors,members of the Confereiice attcýndedlectures of special interest onr varionssubjects both in Arts and Philosophy.,At the annual business meeting whichfollowed, after full discussion, this de-cîsion was arrived at, that it was "ad-visable and feasible to establish a per-nient lectureship in connection witit'le Conference."

In addition to foliowing thiscou rse, the i-einbers present discussedBruce's \pologetics and FairbairnIsChrist in Modern Theology. Profes-sor Dyde and Messrs. G. M. Milýliganand D. J.

Tbere are iniu conferences hieldanniially in C'anada nexv, and withut,exception, they mve somiething to thelate Principal Grant and bis vahiablecomîinittce. For tbe Qtuen's confer-ence xvas the first of the kind te bebeld iii Caniada during the ordinaryuniversity session. And the Queeu 1sconference began to shape its distiiictive course xvhen, threiigh the geýner-osity and public spirit of ChancelierFleming, a Lectnreship was cstahlish-ed. The endownicnt ef that Lecture-slip is assurance that every confer-ence hield in Kingston will have anundoubted valuie and substance andcolotîr of its own, while, becauise cftheir cenditiens confcrenccs iii othercentres inust be more limited in theirrange and more variable in theirquality.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.

T HE Royal Charter nf neen'sdates back to 1811i. [n 1836,steps were taken hy the Synod of thePresbyterian Clitnrchi, to fouind a col-lege at Kiingston, Ontario, for thetraining of vouing nmen for the learnedprofessions, including the work of themiinistry. The heginîîings, as usuaiwith coileges, were snalIl. The firstclasses with ten students wýere openedin March, 1842, with Dr. Liddll asPrincipal. 1?unds werc provîdeci, inipart fromn grants fromi the Chnirch ofScotland and from the Canaclian Gov-ernmenýt, ini part f rom the liberai sub-scriptions of friencis of the youing and

roigUniversity. Owing to thelack of gooýd sehools in1 the Provinceit was found necessary to establishi aprepar-atory sehool in connection withthe College. In spite of straightenedcircumstances and many obstacles,progress was steady, andi financiaidifficulties were overcome by theenergy and courage of Principal andfriends. Three times have appeaisbeen successfully made to the publicfor the Endowînenit 1"und. The firstcampaign uinder Principal Snodgrasstook place at a t1ine of great depres-siori, and tided the College over a seri-ous crisis. A second apI)eai xvas inadeby his successor, P rincipal Grant, ini1878-79, with brilliant success, and ili1881 a new building, an enlargedstaff, and a great increase of stutientswas the iînrnediate restilt. Again ini1887 an effort was successfuliy madeto raise the sum of $250,0oo, whiclîwas called, in bonour of the Queen'sJ ubilee, the Queýen's Jubilee Fund.The twenty-five years of Dr. Grant's

Thenumber of students last year enrollcdwas 216. Queen's led the way, inCanada, in co-eclucation. As earlv as1870, special classes in Englislî andotiier subjects were formed for wo-nmen, but the academic career leadingto a degree was not thrownl open totliem tili 1878-79. In 1880 co-cdul-cation was extendcd to the miedicalcourse, but in 1883 a separate Wo-mîen's Medicai College was openiedand affiliatcd witiî Oneen's.

GENERAL FEATURES 0F QUEEN'S.CONSTITUTION.

In the charters of many of the oldworld colleges it is written that theywere founded for the "prom-otion ofl)iety and learning," and in like man-ner th.e Royal Charter of Queen'sUniversity provides for "the estab-lishment of a College in connectionwvith the Church of Scotlanýd for theeclucation of youth in the prinýciples ofthe Christian religion and for their in-struction in the various branches ofScience and Literatuire." It alsogoes on to say "that no religions testor qualification sball *be required of oral)pointed for any persons admitted ormiatriculateci as scholars withi n ou rsaid College," and so from the begin-ning two things are affirmed forwhichi Queen's has always sitood,Chris'tianity and Catholicity.

University shouild be to act as directlyas possible ripou ai mnembers of thecon-munity. lIt was rnainlv this con-sideration whicli led Qulecn's to pro-vide instruction for extra-m-ural stu-dents in Pass and Ilonours, leading tothe degrees of 13)A. and M.A. Exarni-nations for these students were insti-tuted for the first time in Session1888-9. It was soon fouind, however,that the candidates for these examina-tions were heavily handicapped fromthe fact that they had to carry on theirstudies without any aid frorn qualifiedteachers. Hence in a few years theSenate decided to offer T'utorial as-sistance in the work prescribed. Sincethat time regular exercises and esýsayshave been prescribed covering thework of the varions subjects, and thesehave been carefully examined andcorrectd by the tutors under the direc-tion and with the assistance of thevarions Professors. The resuit ofthis experiment in University exten-sion has on the whiole been highlysatisfactory. No candidate is allowedto register as an extra-mural studentuintil he has satisfied the Senate of hisinability to cnter the University as anintra-muiral student. [t is noýt onîxthose who are engagcd in the activework of life--naniely, ptublic sclioolteachers, but also in soine cases, cier-gymen and business mien-to whomthe privileges of tlie extra-mnural stu-dent are extended. Ail extra-muralstudents who are candidates for a de-grec must, before being registered,pass the ordinary matricuilation ex-amination or an examniniationi acceptedby the Senate as equivalent. Whienthat examînation has been passed theymulst then register and pay the régis-tration fee of ten dolars ($10) andthe tutorial fees of the classes,-in

which they propose to study,-before()ctober first. The Registrar thenscn(ls thecir registration cards and for-xvards to t'hern cards iu the subjectsuipon which they propose to be exam-ined the following April or Septemn-bei-. The essay s and exercises in thedifferent classes are cornpulsory,their object being to supply as far asnîay be the training which the intra-mural stiident ýobtains from actuial at-tendance uipon classes. A list of cen-tres where extra-nmural exaiinatjonsare held is supplied by the Registrar,and if for special reasons a candidateis uinable to Write at one of these, anew centre mnay be established on pay-ment of a fee of five dollars ($,5). Inail cases the examination fee must bepaýid in advance by the candidates andin addition a fee of one dollar ($1)for each local hýalf-day examinationby students writing away from theUniversity.

A glance at the figures in the fol-lowing table will show what a re-miarkable increase in the number ofextra-rmural students lias taken placesince the institution of the courses:

A great many extra-mural studentsregister at the new year, so that 1904will prohably register nearly 200 bythe spring.


By agreement with the educationdepartment of Ontario courses forspecialists have been established, bymeans of whjch candidaites who obtainthe degree of M.A. or B.A. receivethe non-professional qualification ofSpecialist. No one is entitled to thisqualification who does flot take therank of M.A., or failing thaît the de-gree of B.A. with seconcl-class hon-ors (66%» in one of the specifiedcourses. Extra-mural studýents mayi this way obtain a Specialist's certi-

ficate, but tinder the new regulationsof the Education Departnient theymniist attendl classes in the universityfor flot Iess than two full sessions. Itis possible that this (lelfand may tosorne cxtent decrease the number ofextra-mural students, buit, consideringthe great advantage whichi is sure toresult to them from. direct contactwith the professors of the universityand fellow-students it may fairly be,contended that the regulation is wiseand justifiable.

TEE WOMEN STUDENTS.

In Canada Queen's University wasquite in the van oýf educational pro-gress with the ( )ld Couintry, andahead of lier iii liberality. Ladieshiad occasionally attended Dr. Mur-rav's classes as far back as 1870, but,as the Domesday Boo'k records, it wasflot till "carly ii tlic session of 1878-9that tlic authorities of Queen's an-nouunce( that the advau'tages of theuniversity course would henceforthbe thrown 'open to wom-en." Thismeant access 'to ail :the educationalprivileges enjoyed 'by the men stu-dents. The first regular student toapply niatricu'lated, in medicine in1879. Two others xnatricuilated inmedicine and one in Arts in 1880, and

a fifth entered in Arts wxith hionourmatriculation iii 1881 ; so that tlie firstclass of five ladies graduated in 1,«-A.The numiber of regularly miatricullatedworncn students entering for degreeslias steadil -x inc-reased, iijl îxý>w thereare oîîe hun(red and( thirty-sevenregisterecl ladNI studen ts, one hutndredan(l ten of whomi are lu attenýdance,and the reiainder studying extra-rnurally.

In 1881 the Senate of Toronto Uni-versity refused to alloýw wornen to at-tend lectures ini the College, thouiglithey pernîiitted theni to take the first-year work extra-mutrailly and pass theyear examinations. On an appeal toth.e Legisiature in 1883 the doors ofVar-sity were opened to women witliaIl the privileges, and since thenladies have attended in increasingnumbers.

The won-ien stldents have fromn thefirst taken a high average standing inclasses, In several departments thýeyhave been repeatedly3 sessional tutors,particularly iii Moderns and History.The great miajority of the wornen stui-dents take Moderns, History andEnglis;h and Literature, partly owýingto a natural likiîîg, and partly becauiseiu these subjects there is the best pros-pect of seccuring a position ini highischools or ladies' colleges after gra-duation.

Wlîen womnen first hecame register-ed students there were in the collegeonly two societies, the Alma Materand the Y.M.C.A. T'liere were alsobut two yearly social functions, theconversazione and the ne-dical dinner!The passing to and fro of womeiî stu-dents in the university halls was atfirst suich a novel phase that there waslittle or no association between themen and women students. Later the


year meetings, At 1-omnes, Freshmen'sReceptions, Conversaziones and thelike, have changed ail that.

The women students in the firstyears formed a Sunday Bible class,which at one timie was conducted bythe late Rev. Prof. Maowat and somne-times by the late Rev. Dr. Bell. Thisbeýcamie the Y.W.C.A. of Quieen's. Ina few yeairs a saciety to take chargeof the general initerests of the womenstudents was farmed, and was narnedthe Levania Society. These two sa-cieties are stili flourighing and give a.very desirable part of the training re-ceived in the Univeýrsity. The womenstudents are now alsa memlbers of theAima Mater Society.

It is difficuit for those now iii fui]possession of tlue priviieges of uni-versity eduication to realize the caýstand tirne of itýs evolition. 1 think itwas Napoleon whio said, "Let me cdu-cate the mothers of a nation and therest mnay look after itself." Some be-lieved thiat ta educate womien was anegreat means of developing the race;oeliers saw in it simple justice. Butthere were many who saw in the pro-posai only an uipsetting of establishiedlaw and order. As one writer in theQuarterly Review put it, at the timeof the establis'hment of ýGirtoýn Col-lege, "There is noa douibt that this sortof woman wýill flot be papular withmen." He goes an ta say that thisi1Cw callege mighit have bis approvaiif the students were tatught ta sew,teaýdh, keep house, reýad alaud, maketheir own dresses and be helpful atmission working parties. Indeed ithad often 'been said 'that womeil edu-cated at callege would riot be able toget husbands. Nawadays the samestyle of critics ciaim that college wa-Mnen are nat inclined to, marry. It is

sonIeltines argued that hecatise a cer-tain ])ercefltag21e of wmen gradilateshavc fot married, the liigher educatiotnof wamnen is against the best interestsof the race. Probably if the same in-vestigation were applied ta any otherset or ciass af wonieni as large a percent. wouild be found uninarried. Thiswanld certainly be the case i11 Brita:in.Tiiere is aýt least ane din.ig we mnay ex-pect of colleýge womien, that asa mIle they will nat be driven into thatlast refuge oýf lpiessness-rmarrvingfor a home.

lt is noticeable in our country thatthe average age of miatriculantsalnong girls is ioxver than in the ()dCouintry. Whether this is due ta, aureduicational mnethods, or whatever tluereai cause, it is perhaps ta be regret-ted. It inay be deemied advisablesaine day ta set aii age limiit for enter-ing the university. he spirit of theuniversity -that spirit of freedoiwhich in mature minds begets thefeeling of responsibility-cannot beput an iikc a gown wlien a young girlstepýs fromn the hiigh school, whereslie lias been tinder many miles and re-straints, inta the uiniversity. Thefrivolaus student, if a man, is readilyoverlooked, but nat if a woman. Everycollege womian mutst live up ta the ex-pected level or ail bier associates areapt ta suifer. Again, in the case afthe men students, there are alwayssufficiently large numnbers of seniorswho, with the weight that seniaritygives and the establishied machineryof the coliege courts, can suppress theobjectionable. The difficulty is muchgreater for the senioýr womnen studentssince they have not yet t!he machineryor the traditions. There is fia daubt,however, that the womnen in the uni-versity are proving themselves equal


to the shaping of their college life in-to that steadily increasing good thingto wbich so rnany have been lookingforward ehrough the last quarter of acentury.

TII1E SUNDAV AFTERNOON SERVICES.

Queen's University dlaims that itbas always sought to manifest abroad unsectarian spirit, that it haswelcomned real bielp frorn ail quartersand has endeavoured to minister tothe needs of ail classes; but tbis is

quite consistent witb a frank and cor-dial recognition of the suprernlacy oftrue religion and flue beauty of unitedreverent worsbip. Tbe services beldin Convocation Hall on Sunclay after-noons are one of the symbols of thistwo-fold view, one of the forms andoccasions through whicb we recog-nize, in a special manner, that ourservice to God and our ministry te,men are two sides of the saine if e.

These services have been held dur-ing many years, and, so far as the ad-dIresses are concernied, bave assuimeda variety of forms; the Principal basreviewed the life of the uiniversityand set forth, in inspiring tones, thebigh aspirations which should stir thesoul of every tbougbtful student; aprofessor of philýosophy has stated inclear, calm kinguage the unity of lifeand the all-pervading power of thatintelligence whicb gives meaning toail arts and science; the represenita-tive of another important departmentlias shown that the literatuire of apeople, in reflectinýg its life, indicatesthe spiritual dangers by whicb it isthreatened and the nobler idealswhicb are seeking expression amnidthe chaos of opposing interests andconflicting passions; or it may be fhatthe speaker was a minister who dle-

livered a sermon making a special ap-peal to youing men and keeping closeto the central theme, the love of Godmi-anifested in Jesus Christ. Thuis itcan be seen that in the course of yearsthere lias been great variety in thiesubjects treated, and in the characterand occupation of the men who haveoccupied the platform. The wholebody of students has had opportuni-ties of Iistening to words of counself rom professors wboin they did flotmneet in the coturse of their regularstudies, or frorn distinguishied stran-gers, men wlio had made thieir mark inclburcb work or university life. Iuthe opening year of the present cen-tury a continuiots course was givenireviewing the progress andi prcsentingthe outlook in ail the important de-partments of knowledge; advances insurgical science as weIl as contribuitions to biblical criticjsm wcre wel-comned as part of God's great variedand evergrowing gift to, the humanrace. Sorne people may t'hink thatsuch a course is suitable for Suncldayafternoon if it does not corne oftenerthan once in a century. As there isnow no space to discuiss that point oneneed simiply say that we find sugges-ted by it an important part of ourtask, namely, to bridge the guif thatoften exists between the "sacrcd" andthe "secular" hy showing that the pur-suit of truth in every spberc is asacred occupation demanding honestwork in a reverent spirit.

There is no need for us to enter in-to competition with Churches andChristian associations of variouskinds; a few vigorous services at theiieginiiiig, and close of eachi sessionwill serve the rcal purpose of showingour symipathy with Chbristian worshipand the uinity of purpose whicb lies

For seven years it was known asthe J<ing-ston M'edica/ Quarter/y, ptub-lislie(l ly a coiuîiittee consisting ofD)rs. Anglini, Garrett, MuNliidell, Wood,Ryan, WV. T. Conncl, andl J. C. Con-nelI, xvitl Dr. llerald as editor-mu-cliief.

3M'ost of the articles were written bvinnîbers of this commiiittee, and itwas financed by these gentlemen ontof their own pockets.

T'he purpose of the JOURNAL 15 to,

students are separated in class-roomns

and buildings, it is highly important

to everyone to touich the life of ail de-

the routgb angles of mere practical

ttlity with a little of the leaven of

The student organizations ofQtueen's arc flot just like those ofany other university and perhapsIin n0 university do such organiza-tions play a more important part increating and preserving a heaithy,'hearty coliege spirit. 0f the exist-ence of such spirit there can be nodenial, and the question is asked againand again, "What makes theseQ ueen's people so enthusiastic abouttheir Coliege?"

A partial answer may be found inthe existence and workings ofQueen's most important students' or-ganization, the Aima Mater Society.This includes in its membersbip alstudents of the university, bath menand women, undergraduates and post-graduates, whether in Arts, Science,Medicine, Theoiogy, Law or Mining.It is the officiai organization of thestudents and serves as the medium ofcommunication between themn and theSenate. At its meetings, whicb areheid every Saturday evening, is trans-acted ail the business that concernsthe generai interests of the studentbody; correct pariiamentary proced-ure is most rigidiy insisted on and thetraining men receive in such mattersis 'of no mean order.

But the Aima Mater Society servesa more important end. Modern edu-cation seems ta necessitate specializa-tion, and a danger of specializaýtion isthat a man may lose sympathy withail those flot engaged in bis particularline of work. But in Quieen's tbisdanger is rendered iess serions by theexistence Of the one central studentorganization. In its meetings menfrom every faculty meet and debate

freeiy. So there is engendered a feel-ing of muttuai respect, sympathy andtoieration, and it is safe to say that notrue "Aima Materist" can be a merenarrow speciaiist. In no smali mea-sure the unity of coliege life atQueen's may be ascrîbed to thiscause.

Appoîuted and controiied by theAima Mater Society are the AthieticCommittee, the Quieen's [Uiversityjournal Staff, the Musical Cou-vmittecand the Debate Committee, the sever-ai duities of which bodies are indicatedhy their names.

But in addition ta matters of gen-erai interest there are necessariiy af-fairs that perýtain more particuiariy taeach facuity. So there have come in-to existence the Aescuiapian, Engi-neering and Arts Societies. Thesemeet reguiariy and transact the neces-sary business, tbough tbey neyer inany sense appear as rivais ta the onecentrai society.

Perhaps the chief interest of tbescsecondary societies lies in the fact thateach bas its own concursus or courtfor the triai of offenders against lawand order. Tbe chiidish custom of"hazing" bas long since vanisbedf rom Queen's,-on the contrary theFreshmen are warnily welcomed andintroduced ta their feilo w-studentsand ta their professors at the annuaiFreshmen's Reception, beld uinder theauspices of the Y.M.C.As. and Y.W.C.A.-and every man, whether Fresh-man or Senior, is treaited witb respectso long as he proves hiniseif worthyof sutch treatment. But occasionallysome one appears who fails to com-port himseif with the dignity thatmighit be expected from a coilegeman, and for sncb cases tbe students

236


have special organizations, the con-curstuses (if the word mnay be allow-cd), wlîich have the moral supportof, and official recognition by,' theS enate of the univcrsity. Thiese con-uirsuses consist of judges, attorneys,constables, etc., an(l tligh an ele-ment of the burlesque enters in, andthough the punishmients inflicted arenlsually-thoughi fot always--nýerelynominal fines, yet the disgrace of be-ing "coturted" is sucb as to prove anefficient restraint.

Anothier phase of college life isministered to by the Young Men'sChristian Associations of the univers-ity. Tliese organizations in Arts andScience, andl in Medicine, include intheir membcrship rnany, perbaps ai-most aIl, of the stroýngest men of thevarions faculties. More than onestudent rememýbers gratefully thenight when, a stranger in a strangecity, he foulnd himself met at the rail1-way depot by the red-badged coin-mitteemian wlio was thiere to weicomehim and give himi directions and as-sistance. The meetings are held inthe coilege cvery i'riday, thc discuis-sions are always vigorous and stimut-lating, and] the attendance is perhapsnot excelled in ans' college Y.M.C.A.in America.

ithtler organizations are tAie Queen's~ University Missionary Society, t'liclPhilosophical Society, the 1)rainaticClub, the Political Science and Dehat-îng Club, the Glee and MandolinClubs, as well as the athîctic clubs con-trolîcled by th A M S., viz., the RuigbyF"ootball, A\ssociation F~ootball, floc-kcy, Tennis, BýaskctJhall and TraelkClubs. But tihese thiere is not spaceto ilescribe andti teir naines înutst stug-gest the fuinctions they performn.

On the third lloor of the KingstonBuilding is a cozy, cheerful reîtreatknown as the Levana Room-ii, wherethe college girl iay spcnd a pleasanthour in study, in reading the maga-zines or papers, or in deliciotns idling.Its pretty furnishings Iblend with thesoft green tinting of the walls, andeach year adds soinething to our storeof pictures and statuary.

The objeot of the Levana Society isto bring the women stridents of theun îversity more closely into tonchwith one another, and to develop theirliterary and aesthetic tastes. Itsprincipies guide theým over the shoalsof mere mechanical learning and pastthe sharp rocks of giddy pleasuire. itmeets once every two weeks and en-joys considerable variety in its prýo-grammes. Now a social evening isspent, again a debate is arranged, apaper is read, or even amateur theatri-cals attempted. Occasionally someof the professors give talks on art orliterature.

TPhe girls' Glee Club is uinder thedirection of the Levana Society andaffords an excellent opportunity todevelop latent vocal power. Althoughibut recently organized it is in a flour-ishing condition.

The Gymnasiuni classes have nowheen carried on for a crwîth miark-ed enthusiasîîî. The games of basketbail are interesting and entered uiponwith spirit.

The Y.W.C.A. is another verv iportant society to the Queen's girl,and it is plcasing to notice that thetwo main organizations are not aliento one another in spirit, but on thecontrary, are mutuially helpful. Thesame girls who are pr6minent in pro-iiioting the wclfare of the Levana arcgeneraily bo bc fouind on the list of ac-tive menmbcrs of the Y.WT.C.A.


WANTED-A GYMNASIUM.

The vicissitudes in the life of "thgymnasiuim" have been so dishearten-ing that it would have ceased to existlong ago if its existence, even in alanguid state, had not been essentialto the students.

In the eighties Mr. W. Raukin, aman of zeal and great execuitive abil-ity, came to the University, and aftersomne difflculty succeeded in uniting,under the control, of a committee ap-pointed by the Aima Mater Society,the various sports indulged in by thestudents. The gymnasiuim feli uindera special committee also appointed bythe AIma Mater Society. The changewrought was most beneficial as it gavecontinuity to the efforts of the stu-dents, whereas under the old systemeach year found a fresh committee incharge that knew littie or nothing ofwhat its predecessor had donc orplanned.

The gymnasium. as 1 first remem-ber it, was in the basement of the thenArts building, equipped with suchsimple apparatus as the limited fundsof the students permiýtted. The nexthome of what little apparatuis re-mained was in a large room at therear of the medical building adjacentto the dissecting roomn, a place totallyunsuited for a gymnasium. Universityexpansion and the unsuitability of theplace made another change necessaryand this time the attic of the Carrui-thers Hall was the new place of abode.The jarring incidental to the boister-ous gymnasiumn work of the studentswas more than the ceilings below andthe nerves of the proýfessors couildstand, and once more the gymnasiumwas without a home. About this timePrincipal Grant conceived the idea ofcombining in one building a work-

shop for the School of Science and aGymnasjuim. Fis intention was touse the basement of the building forbathis, lockers for the football andhockey teamis and the general heatingof the building. The first floor wasto be given over to the work-shop, andthe third floor was to be available fora gymnasium. It is a large housethat wilI hold two families happily,and in this case the rule had no excep-tion. The students in the work-sbopcomplaineci of the intolerable noiseanid jarring, those using the gyminasi-uim of the lack of freedurn ini the en-joyment of what they consideredtheir own property. That part of thebuilding given over to a gymnasininiwas' fot suitable for the purpose forwhich it was constructed. The greatdevelopment of indoor games, such asbasket-ball, tennis, babmninton, &c.,necessitated a building of more loftyproportions. As a gymnasium in thenarrow sense of the word it wouldhave been quite satisfactory, but incomparison with the gymnasium ofthe citN, Y .M.C.A. it aroused only dis-content. This, however, was not oflong duration, for again universityexpansion converted the entire gymi-nasium into a work-shop.

As a portion of the money that wass'îbscribed for the building liad beengiven on the unde rstanding that itwas to be a gymnasium for the stu-dents as well as a work-shop, Princi-pal Grant saw the necessity of divid-ing the amotint that had ýbeen sub-scribed and placed $1,000 or there-abouts in the hands of the treasurer toforin thc nucleus of a ncw gynlnasitumfund. At a meeting of the UniversïtyCouincil a committee was appointed tosectire further fuinds, the idea beingto raise $1,000 in Kingston and to ap-


peal to, the other friends of the uni-versity for further assistance. Afterconsiderable effort a fund of same$3,000, including the original $1,000,has been acquired, but the great en-largement of the university in thepast ten years maýkes it inadequate,except as a beginning, for the con-struction and equipment of a buildingsuitable to the needs of the students.Sucli a building should have baths ofai descriptions in the basement, and,if tlhe funds would allow, a swirn-mning pool. On the main floor shouldbe roomns for students' meetings, read-ing raoms, &c., snch rooms as would,for examiple, make it the general ga-tliering place, and the gymnasiumproper. A building with this aýccom-miodation should mneasure, Jet us say,5 0x80 feet, and be sufflciently lofty tapermit of all indoor games being play-ed, and the construction of a runningtrack arotind the wall, and trapeze,ladders and other ovcrhead, gymnasi-uni apparatus. There is no use in do-ing tliings by halves, better far get asubstantial building of sufficient sizeand of moderate equipnîent, leavingto future students the responsibility ofimproving and adding to the equip-nient, than at the beginning have asmiall and shabiby building perfectlyequipped.

Somje may say that a gynînasium isnot a requirement of college life, thatby walking and outdoor sports ail theexercise necessary nîay be obtained bythe students. These mutst forget thatOf the large number of students nowat the university comparatively feware able to take p)art in the football orhockey practices, and it is with defer-ence subimjtted that thîe benefits to theliealth and physique of the students

obtaincd at the Military College andother colleges wliere they have gym-nasiuims justify attention to this sideof student life. This is much morenecessary in the case of the girls in at-tendance at the university wlîo aredebarreil from participating in themore active sports of student if e, butwhfo could and wauld, by the settingaside of 'the gymnasinîn for certainhours on certain days for their classes,rece.ive incalculable benefit.

From the point of view of the. mem-bers of aour football, hockey and trackteams, the erection of a gymnasium isimperatively demianded, if Queen's ista maintain lier position in Collegeatliletics. McGill and Varsity, haveeachi its gynînasium, and it is surpris-ing thiat Queen's, with the little train-ing of hier teams, does so exceedinglywell in comipetition with teamns fromthese colleges. What would she doif proper gymnasiumn facilities wereavailable?

At least $7,0OO is needed to do thework properly. This amiount slîouldeasily be raised if a few of our well-ta-do graduates would lend their as-sistance, and froin the enthusiasticsupport given towards the erection ofGrant Hall it seems probable that in ashort time the college campus will begraced by a gymnasium that will docredit to the University. The matter,cannot rest much longer in abeyance,and it is to, be hoped that the gradu-ates, who have succeeded in accumnu-lating somewhat of this world's goodsand who, in tlîeir college days, felt,the want of a gymnasium, will bytheir assistance give the scheme theirhearty support. "'He who givesquickly gives twice" was a motto 'ofthe late Principal.

QUEEN's UNI VERSITY JOURNAL.

QUEEN 'S AND THE TEACHING PRO-FESSION.

Q ueen's lias neyer forgotten thatýshe has a duty to perform to theteachers of the country, as slie bas týothe lawyers, doctors, niinisters andengineers. The teachers' JuniorLeaving examination lias for yearsbeen accepted as the equivalent of ma-triculation for ail subjects common tothe two examinations. At the pres-ent moment special arrangements arebeing made to encourage the teacher,hiolding the Junior Leaving certificate,to look forward to a university de-gree. Moreover, advanced courses arelaid down which c'onduct at once to adegree and to rion-professional quali-fication to teach in higli schools.* Extra-muiral" courses are of specialadvantage to teachers ýseeking to imi-prove their position. Whatever bar-riers have been raised between uni-versity and public school Queen's liassedulouisly aimed to remove, with theobject of raising the status of theteacher into a real profession. Wher-ever other forces are at work in thesame interest Queen's hias 'been gladto co-operate. Approval of the newregulations recently issued by the De-partment was at once given, so far asthey aimned to inýcrease the efficiencyand self-reliance of the teacher and-the dignity of his vocation. Whereexception was taken, as, for instance,to the elimination of Latin from thecompulsory subjects on the JuniorLeaving examination, it was on thetwo-fold ground that it deprived thepublic school teacher of necessary,knowledge and tended to sap his arn-ýbition. Efforts, whether by specialcourses or surmmer schools, to weldmore firmly together university andPublic school, have not only beenCountenanced, but bave in saine cases

originated hiere. It is due in part tothe interest taken by Queen's in therural school teacher of Ontario thatan important experiment has justlicen conipleted in connection with theCouinty of Frontenac Model Sehool inKinigston. Queen's Quarterly hasfreely given space to articles on edu-ýcation, and already reaches a largenumber of teachers. It is a pleasureto learn that a well-wisher of themnagazinýe lias decided to place a copyin every public school in the Countyof Frontenac. If every school housein the Province had a copy anotherbarrier between the college and therural sdhool would be remoýved,and the influence of the university onthe children of the farm would be dis-tinctly appreciable.

The existence of an independent, orat least semi-i ndepen dent, uinîversitylike Queen's in Ontario lias been aconstant benefit to the Department ofEducation. Upwards of twenty percent. of the teachers now in the HighScliools and Collegiate Institutes re-ceived thieir training here. And apartfromr that the free development ofQ ueen's lias resulted iii a type of col-lege which is a positive enrichmýent ofthe educational life of the Provinceand the Dominion. No one will suggestthat the growth of Queen's has been amenace to the Ontario educationalsystem in any respect. Only here and,there is now heard a voice or rather afaint echo in behaif of a centraliza-tion, which would be almost certainlylacking in local independence, self-help and the power to initiate reform.Indeed one of the most conspictiousmerits of the nýew depar'tmental regu-lations is its manifest desire to decen-tralize just as rapidly as differentlocalities are prepared to accept re-sponsiýbility.


ESPRIT DE CORPS AT QUEEN'S.

Not long ago the learned Principalof one of ouir Theological Coliegessaid laughingly at a gathering ofQueen's Alumni that his ears weretired of being assaileýd by proclama-tions of the loyalýty of Queen's men,much, one might think, as the Athen-ian citizen who black-balled Aristideswas tired of hearinýg him called the"Just." Not t2hat Aristides was flotjust, or the graduates of Queen's flotloyal, but that it was ýbetter to assumethat fact, and inquire into its cause.Q ueen's men are not, indeed, inoýrdi-nately addicted to, boasting, but let ustake the hint, and ask why they lie-lieve in their Alma Mater.

In the first place they have helpedto, build it, flot in the lofty sense inwhich every real graduate is a livingadvertisement of his coilege, much asgood goods seil themselves, but in thesense, narrower if you like, that inter-est is often in direct proportion to toiland sacrifice. The casual boy 'or girlon the street is somebody's chiid; thelog-house you catch a glimpse offrom the train is the old homesteadfor some one. In either case the ob-ject may lie "an ili-favoured thing,"but yet it is, as Touchstone says of thelady of his choice, "mine own"; andthat makes ail the difference. TheCollege is thus for the graduate a per-sonal matter, a "bit of him," as itwere; if anything untoward happenedto, it, there would be in bim a physicaishrinking, such as might lie caused bya bereavement.

But further, it is not too much tosay that the graduate of Queen'sthanks the university for making himover again. His course at college isthe most decisive period of his career.The well-worn phrase that a college is

an Aima Mater is for many a gradu-ate of Queen's a literai fact. The stu-dent, when he comes under its influ-ence, steps out on the piatform of an-other life, or, to drop metaphor, isfurnished with a new standard to ap-ply to himself in his dealings withothers. Perhaps the process of re-generation is a steep and thorny road,but the end is a well-equipped andwell-ordered mi. Just as a studentlooks forward to going home for bisholidays, and as the travelier in a for-eign country is glad to speak of re-turning home to the land of bis ýbirth,50 the typical graduate of Queen'scontinues to think of bis college as a"jolly home," and the metaphysicalspankings 'he received from the handof bis Aima Mater, pluckings, criti-cisms, and what noýt, have only im-printed the college more indelibly onbis memnory and affection.

This feeling is brought to a focus,it may lie, in connection with somemember or miembers of the collegestaff. Everyone knows llow inti-mately blended in the mind of ail thegraduates and friends of the uiniver-sity were Queen's and Principal Grant,and there are on the roll-book ofQueen's not a few other names wortbyof honourable mention. And, besides,what suggestions regarding the greatmen of ahl time, in the diff erent pathsof literature, science, philosophy, art,politics, history and religion, can betraced back to the work of this or thatcolhiege class, suggestions which havedone something to, transform one ormore of the "mighty dead" f rom aname into an acquaintance, or it maylie, an ideal. One must, it is true,wrestle tîli the break of day (that is,study long and hardi, if he is to ex-tort from a genius the gift wbich it is


in his powýer to bestow. But thesatisfaction of acqturinig a treasuire, ofwhich one cannot be deprived, whichmoth and rust cannot corrupt, isworth the trouble.

A single woýrd muist be given to thequite uinuisual and complete way inwhich students of ail facuities meettogether in their different societiesand by a process of radiation and ab-sorption widen one anothe:rs intel-lectual and social horizon. Chasmiswhich separate the scholar ancd man ofbusiness, puipit and pew, clerk andclient in real life are aIl bridged here,and remnain bridged, so that the uni-versity is greatly assisted by the in-terior economly of student life in itswork of turning out noýt mere profes-sional men on one side ornmere prac-titioners of whatever sort on theother, but genial ail-rouind nien. ,Tlhismutual give and take belongs to thleatmosphere of Queen's.

"All this and more cornes floc<ing," as we meditate on wliat we meanby esprit de corps at Queen's, andthuýs it ceases to, be a surprise, thoughit does not cease to be a satisfaction,that graduatcs are determined tomnaintain thecir Alina Mater i a stateof active efflciency, so, that it rnay beto their successors ail tlîat it was tothem.

BOTANY.

The botanical department of theUfliversity o fccupies the larger part ofthe first floot of Flemning Hall. Oneroom is fitted uip simpiy for a lectureroom and tlîree others are devoted tolaboratory work. The pass class-room is furnishied with tables onwhich specimiens of plants are placedfor examination. A number of beau-tifuil inodels of flowers purchased iiiParis fill a case against one of the

walls, whiie on the other walls aredisplayed sets of hotanical charts,some made by Professor Dupuis. Onehonour class-room is furnished withcases containing sonlie thousands ofduplicate specimiens for the use of tHeclass, ancd also with botanical chartsand diagramns, and a tap with its shelf.In the other honor laboratory, tablesare s0 constructýed that four studentscan be accornmodated at each, and areprovided witlî drawers for books, mic-roscopes, &c. A large collection ofthe lower classes of plants, suchi asalgae, fungi, grasses, &c., is providedfor the use of the class. Chemicalmnaterials for experiniental work arekept here, and ail practicai work iiihistology and pl]ysiology is conduct-ed. Two sides of the room are fur-nishied with taps and glass vessels ofdîfferent kinds for t'ie preservation offresli wxater algae, and for experi-mental work. liere also the neces-sary apparatus an(l naterials for mi-croscopic examination are provided.The coliege herbarium contains overJ0,000 specimiens, representing theIlora of Canada and the North East-ern States, with a large mnmber froinEurope, Australia and India. 'l'lieprivate lierbariuini of the professor te-presents very fully the flora of theMaritime Provinces, and the UnitedStates, andi also contains large collec-tions fromn Europe, Western Asia,Southern Af rica, Australia and Tas-mania, embracing over 50,000 sheetsofmouinted specimens. Many thon-sands of duplicates, furnished by stu-dents who have won the Gowan prize,are preserve1 for future use and forpurposes of exehiange. A large con-servatory for the cultivation and pre-servation of living plants is attachedto the honour laboratory.

OUR IMMEDIATE NEEDS.

'T HINKING of "Qieen's of to-day,"Iand thankful for the progressof the past, we must recognize also theneeds of the present. The fact thatwithin the last eleven years the num-ber of students bas been more thandoubled, while the teaching staff inArts and Theology bas flot beengreatly increased, indicates the mosturgent present need.

It lias long been dýesired to have aChair in Oriental Languages (includ-ing Hebrew), added to the Arts de-partment. This woulId provide forthose languages where 'they properlybelong, andi would enable the profes-sor of Hebrew and O. T. Exegesis togive his entire attention to the lattersuýbject, along with O. T. Theology.It may be added 'that the Theologicaldepartment should further bestrengthened at an early date bydividing the subjects of Apologeticsand N. T. Exegesis, constituting theformer into one Chair, and the latteralong with N. T. Theology into an-other.

It is not immediately necessary toadd any other new Chair 'to the Artslepartment, but we urgently need a

number of Assistant-Professors andother instructors, in connection withexisting Chairs. This is required notonly in the interests of the students inattendance on the classes, but also ofthe extra-mural students, who carryon ýtheir work .by correspondence. Anumber of public school teachers andothers, wlio could flot attend the uni-versity, have been ena.bled by thismeans ta pursue their studies inQueen's, and while the instruction ofthese extra-mural students bas beenconducted with great care and faith-fulness, it makes demands uipon the

staff that caîl for further assistance.The recent action of the Departrnentof Edacation in regard to the study ofClassics and Modemn Languages inHîgli Scbiools will almost inievitablymake it necessary for the Universitiesof the Province týo prcvide elcmentaryinstruction in those subjeets, so thatin each of thern at least one assistantwill bc reqnired, an Assistantship be-ing estimnatecl at $t,000 to $1,200. Thlesubject of Political Science might wellbe divided into two separate Chairs ifwe could afford it, but we must haveat least an Assistantship in connectionwith the prescrnt Chair, and an Assist-antship also in connection with theChair of Botany. Biology and Botanymay hie bracketed together as theminute anti rudimentary forms of ani-mal and vegetable life are closely al-lied, and we need an assistant whiomight render service in connectionwith these two subjects. We needalso further assistance in our Matlie-niatical department.

We may require to provide an As-sistantship ini connection with Philo-sophy, so that fuller provision may bemade for post-graduate work in thisdepartment. At presenit there aretwo Fellows in Philosýophy and the re-sults of their appointment, as well asthe experience of other uiniversities,lead uis to plan for the empýloyment ofFellows ini other departments. It isproposed that these shaîl be chosenfromi among the foremost students,that the Fel.lowships shiaîl be prizesfor efflciency, enahling students tocarry on post-graduate work, and atthe same time ýto render service astutors and nstructors. In this wayproinising men niay be retained for aperiod of research work, while

through their services further assist-ance in teaching iay be provided atvery moderate cost. Two grades ofFellowslîips might thus be formed, aSenior, at $400 each, and a junior at$250 each, per year. We should haveone Senior and one junior in Physiesand in Chemistry, and also, as a sub-stituite for the present tutorial instruc-tion, in English Literature, Moderns,and Political Economny.

The class in English Bible shotuld bepermianently I)rovided for by a Lec-turesbip. At present this class is car-ried on1 by the voltintary service oftwo of tlie prufessurs. It is wcll at-tended and is calculated to be veryhelpfuil to those who take it, the wholeEnglisb Bible being gone over in acourse of two years. $500 per yearwould be a very modest appropriationfor this purpose, and if the Lecture-ship could be developed into a fullProfessorship so muchf the ýbetter.

As yet we are ill-off for Matricula-tion Scholarships. The design of sticbscholarships is to provide inducementsand facilities for some of the brigbtestpupils of the highi schloýols to take auniversity course. We already havea number provided through the kind-ness of friends, but we are in greatneed of more. At a low ýestimate weshould increase our lisýt by six scholar-ships of the value of $125 each, andten of the value of $100 cach. Ifthese could be provided, it would be aMost helpful stimulus to the highschools as well as a valuaible aid tostudents at the commencement of theircourse wheil assistance is greatly re-quired.

Thiere is urgent need to have thesalaries of a nutniber of our professorsincreased, and we require for this pur-pose an addition of at least $3,000 toour present annual revenue; and the

general services entailed by the in-creased number of buildings demandnearly a thousand dollars a year. TheUniversity is at present provided withspacious accommodation for class pur-poses, but, owing to the erection of thenew buildings, the hotise formerlyused as an Astronomical Observatoryhad to bc taken down. We bave notyet put uip another, althougb arrange-ments bave been continuied formeteorological observations, but wcshould bave a proper observatorywhich would cost at least a capitalsum rcpresented by about $400 a year.

Althouigb we do not place a resi-dence for girl students among the re-quisites to be met by our new Endow-ment, yet it would add very greatly totbe welfare and working comfort oftbe young ladies if, in this respect, wewere placed on a level with many ofour sister uiniversities. A gymnasitumalso wouild be a valuable and welcomeaddition to our group of buildings.

But we have already exliausted inthis estimate our propýosed additionalrevenue of $20,000 per year, althoughour attention bas been confined towhat seems to be absolutely necessaryfor the efficient work of the Univers-ity. If any friend be able to endow aChair, it is not necessary that he pro-vide a new Chair; he may select someexisting one, for the only two Chairsin Qtueen's to which any special en-dowment is attached are those ofBiology and Political Science, and theendowrnent of an existing Chair withwhich the donor's name might be con-,nected would release a proportionateamount of revenue for general pur-poses. Or, special benefactions thatwould greatly assi'st the University*migbt be made by pro'viding for soineone of the proposed Assistantships,Fello"ships, or Scholarships. Friends


who cannot extend so large a measurnof aid may ýby the gift of $500 secur<the privilege of nominating duringtheir lifetime a student for exemptioýrfrom class fees ini the Arts depart-ment, while the donor of $100 has theprivilege of nominating one studentfor such exemption during his fullcourse of four years.

MR. BALFOUR'S BRITISH ASSOCIATION ADDRESS.

T HAT Mr. Balfour should haveadlrcssc(l the 'Fritish Associa-tion at ail] nakes one feel prot(l offtherace of statesnien which E'ngland liasneyer failed to produce. So long asthe Eniglisli universities maintainthieir interest in ail branches of know-ledgc-sicntific, literary, historicalandl phiosoplicai-tliey will pro(lucemcn ii je the prcselit Prime Minister,wvho arc flot only statesuien butscliolars,

.Mr. Balfour, as evcrvone knows,bas w rittcni two important philoso-p)iical treaties: A Defenice of Philo-sophical Doubt and The Foundationsof Relief, botlb of wlîiclî nîay be die-scrjbcd gencraill as a defence of faith,on the basis of the limîitations of ourknowledge. Thlis is the speciai ereedto wbich Mr. Balfour lîumoroulslyrefers whcîî lic speaks of " a train ofthouight wlîich bas long intcrcstcdliiisclf, thouigh he acknowiedges tlîatit neyer scenîs to have intcrcsted anv-oine cisc." Bishop Butier, in bisfanis Analogv, argincd tlîat as therearc equlai difficuities in natuire andrevelation, there is no more rcason for-rcjccting revelation thian science; soMr. Balfour would persuade ils thatas science rcsts i)poh an asstiîiption*whicb lias no othier julstification thanla fundamentai instinct of oir natuire,it bas no more gularantce tiîan ouir re-ligionis beliefs. Holding tlîis view, it

was natuirai for himi to draw a moralfroin the extraordinary change in thegeneral picture of the uiniverse wliichieceiit a(lvanccs inl Science 'havebrouiglît xvitl tlîcm. If xvitlîin a cen-tinry our scicntific coniceptions liavebeen entirely revointioniseci, is it notobvions, Mr. Balfour virtuially asks,tiîat the basis of science is not " cx-,perience" or sensible perception, butan indeîîîonstrable faith in the linitvof the worhi

Compare the scientîfic vîcw of thephysical tiniverse prevalent towardsthe end of the Eiglîteenth Centuirywith thiat wihici recent researcli comn-peis uls to adopt. According to thîeformer the physicai universe was lîicidto consist of "varions sorts o)fponderable matter, scattcred ini (iffer-cnt combinations throiugh space, ex-hlibiting m-ost varicd aspects uinder theinfluience of clîcnicai affiniitv ani( temi-peratuire, but throuigh cverv nictanîirphosis obedient to thc laws of miotion,aiways retaining its iîîass uinchangcd,and excrcisinig at ail distances a forceof attraction on other material miasses,according to a simple law." Very dif-ferent is the ncw vicw. "To-day tiiereare those wiîo regard gross mnatter,the Inatter of everyday experience, asthe mere appearance of whiclh electric-ity is the physicai basis; wbo thiinktlîat the eienîentary atoni of the chein-ist, itsclf far beyond the limits of


direct perceýption, is but a connecte(l

system of monads or sub-atoms which

are not electrified matter, but are elec-

tricity itscelf." Buit what, iýt is natuir-

ally asked, arc these clectrical

inionads? "It may be that, as Profes-

sor Larmon lias suggested, they are

but a modification of the uiniversal

ether, a modification roughly comn-

parable to a knot in a medjunii wbichi

is inextensible, incompressible and

contintious.' Whiat an extraor(linary

revolutiofli "Two centuries ago elec-

tricity semed but a scientific toy. ft is

now thought by niany to constitite thc

reality of which matter is but the sen-

sible expression. [t is but a ceiitury

ago that the titie of an etlier to a place

amnong the constituients of the uni-

verse was auitlen.tically established. Tt

seems possible now that it may be the

stuif out of wbich that universe is

wliolly buiilt."Now, it is obviouis that this nlew

conception of the physical uiniverse is

in the sharpest contrast to flic view

sugg-,ested by ordinary observation.

"Nor less plain is it that an almost

eqtial divergence is to lie fouind be-

tween thcse ncw theories and tlîat

modification of the commnon-sense

view of mnatter with wliiclî science lias

in the main been content to worký."

The new electric thcorv "analyses

matter, wlîethcr molar or molecuilar,

into sometbing wlîicl is not niatter at

ail. The atom is now no more tlîan

the relatively vast theatre of opera-

tions in wlîiclî nminute nionads per-

forin their orderîr evoluitions; while

the iiiona(ls tlîeiîiselves are not rc-

gar(ded as units of matter, but as uinits

of clectricity, so that iliatter is not

nîcerely exl)lained, but is explainied

away." Aiîd yct the new vlcw 1',

wholly based on the conimon-sense

view. "This is surely something of a'

paradox. We claim to fou-nd ail ovr

.$cientific opinions on experience; and

the cxpcrience on which we foiund our

theories of the pÏhysical uiniverse is Our

sense-perceptiOn of that universe.

That is experience; and in this region

of belief there is no other. Yet the

conclusions which thuis profess to be

cntirely fouinded uipon experience are

to ail appearance funidamentally op-

posC(l to it; our knowledge of reality

is based uipon illusion, and the very

conceptions we use in describing it to

othcrs, or in thinking of it ta our-

selves, arc abstracted from anthro-

1 îomorpliic fancies, which science

forbids uis to believe and Nature corn-

pels us to employ." Moreover, oir

senses and our intellectual powers have

been evolved in us by the slow 'op(erp-

tion of Natural Selection. Bult Na-

.tural' Selection only works through

ultility. Hence prestumably it is that

"the beliefs of ail mankind abouit the

materiai suirrouindings in which it

dwells are not only imperfect, but

ftindamentally wrong." There is thus

"4a certain inevitable incoherence in

anv general scheme of thotught which

is buit out of miaterials provided by

natural science alone." Hence, if the

obscure and difficiilt region which lies

beyond is to be suirveyed and made

accessible, philosopliy, not science,

muist uindertake the task." Mr. Bal-

four believes that "as natural science

grows it leans more, not less, uipon

an idealistic interpretation of the uni-

verse."My main objeet has been to draw

attention to this remarkable address.

Anything like an adequate estimate of

its uiltimate valuie would far exceed

the space at 1-y comrmand, and T shall

content 1iiyself with one or two re-

marks.


(1) The first tliing that strikes o11eis that the two views which, Mýr. 1Bal-four compares arc spoken of as if theywere abstract oppositcs. And ofcourse it is in the interest of i'\r. B3ahfour's main fhesis that the mattershould be so represented. Not thatlie deiiberately exaggerates the con-trast between the txvo doctrines; buthe has the natural instinct of tbe par-liamentary debater, who is mrore in-clined to refute an antagonist than tostate the facts with absolute fairness.There is no doubt a great contrast be-tween the doctrine that the physicaluniverse is composed of visible andponderable bodies anti the doctrinethat the ûltimate constituents are cc-trical forces or monads; but thechange fromn the on1e to the other liasnot been a disconiiitots leap, but anlevolution. The law of gravitationand the laws of chemical affinity areflot less true, becanse they miay besymbolized in different ways; and ifscience bas advanced in the process ofunifying phenomena, it mnust also beobserved that ýthere is a correspondingprogress in differentiation.

(2) There is a sirnilar exaggera-tion in Mr. Balfour's contention that"the conclusions whichf profess to beentirely founded upon experience areto ail appearance fundamentally op-posed to it." No doubt if we define"experience," with Mr. Balfour, as"sense-perception," and assume that

sense-perception consists in the inm-mediate apprehiension of gross sen-sible objects, we may easily give theimpression that between experienceand recent science there is a greatgtllf fixed, which can only be spaunedby throwftng over it an, artificialbridge. The truth, however, is that"experience" is already virtuially a

systein, wbîcli is not so auitagouilstie toscience as \/r. Balfour would have usbelieve. if ýexperienice" were so

NORTIIFIELD STUDENT CONFERENCE, 1904.

T HERE is a little spot in Massa-eéhusetts which lias become a

shrine to thousands of men who are

helping to mould the world of to-day,

among themn men whose naines are

famous for achievements in almost

every calling. Every year, in the

early days of July, students of the col-

leges of Eastern Anerica gather there,

and in surroundings which cannot but

aid high thinking, listen to men pos-

sessed of the vision of the world for

Christ. This great ideal is placed be-

fore every nman that goes, and lie is

sent back to his college with larger

views of world-movemeflts, with a

feeling of the responsibility of living,

of the glory of a if e of service, and

some sense of an actual, living "par-

liament of man" and "federation of

the world."

The Northfield Seiminary, where the

conference is held, is situiated on the

slope of the Connecticut valley, sur-

rounded on three sides ýby hills and

with a view towards the west of the

valley, and then hill-top after hill-top,

gettîng more and more indistinct until

finally they merge with the sky. There

is a peaceful look about the whole

landscape that strikes alrnost every-

one. The trim fields, beautifuil trees

and prosperous-looking dwellings of

the valley, make it seem a place where

the fever and the fret can neyer corne.

Even the men working in the fields

and the occasional travellers along the

roads seemn to be far away f rom the

world of the strenuons life. Railwa3

trains and auto-cars sem to lose theii

aggyressiveness. Newspapers were un

known amongst the students for ter

days. We entered into a closet an

shut the door and there, with the hel

of some really great menl, we thought

of what our lives were to be.

l remember at Queenis we did not

think any too much of this Northifield

spirit. 1. myseif was quite suspicions

of it. 1 thouglit there was too much

of a sort of shallow evangelisrn ini-

spired by a narrow type of theology, a

good deal of sentimientalisin and a

kind of madiiess about missions that

did harrn by its ignoring the prob-

lemns of our own lai-d and its absolute

ignorance of the people to be deait

with, beyond the f act of their damna-

tion. There is, or used to be, anyway,

a sort of missionary tall\ which niade

us feel that as long as we kept away,

and didu't tell the poor iieathien any-

thing, there was a chance of their

escape fromn hell. If we went and

gave thern more liglit and they didn't

take advantage of it to leave off being

Chinese or Japs or Africans and be-

corne Canadians as far as their unfor-

tunate physical appearance wouild

allow, they were sure of damnation.

The only reason for goiug and mak-

ing the calhing and election of so many

of themn sure, was a kind of external

command. The rationale of whichi

one did flot need to uindcrstand, to "go

into the world and preacli the Gospel

to every creature."

It seems ridiculous now that at one

timne I thought this was the key-note

-of the gatherings at Northfield. As a

matter of fact, I neyer before heard

such a rational staternent of the mis-

sionary problem, or such a clear pre-

*sentation alongside of it of the im-

mense need that our own land has for

r men -of the Christ spirit in every cail-

Sing. Brockmnaf of China, Carter of

iIndia, Fisher of J apan, and a lot of

1other workers made us feel the state

of aiffairs there in the East. The

wonderful influx of new if e, thcbreaking up of flic older faithis of thepeople in the presence of new condi-tions, and the fearful battie beingwaged there against the sway of ma-tcrialism and vice. W~e feit that therewas a figin and we should like to be init, and thec missionary's work took ona iiew dignity as we realized that itwas empire-building for Christ. Therewas nu fooiish talk and em-pty senti-ment, but you feit yourself, whenthose men werc speaking, in flic pre-sence of a great need.

And the nceds of our own landwcre just as strongiy put. Hon. B.F. MacFariand, a distinguished law-yer of Washington, gave a strong ad-dress on the need of our country forChristian laymien. President Hopkinsof Williamns' Coliege spoke on theopportunities for service offered hythe ministry in the new conditions ofour time. S. H. Hadley of WalterSt. Mission, New York, showcd theconfliet with cvii that is being wagedin the slums. Dr. Doggett of Spring-field Training Sehool made us feel theneed of Y, M. workers ail over thiscontinent. In fact, 1 think everythingwas mentioned. When missions werebefore us, I should have likefi to haveheard the dlaims of our own North-West presented by some gnod Cana-dian. But after ail, we Canadiansformed a comparatively small propor-tion of the delegates present. 1 sup-pose everytbing couid not be done,and anyway there wasn't a man of uswho did flot, in the presence of theseappeals for Christian men, have lisown land in view, and the North-Westwas reaily before ail our minds.

As to the theology of the Confer-ence, Queen's men need flot feelafraid of it. I used to think that

Nortlificld perliaps liad the bread oflife, but there was so mucli chaff inthe wheat that the product was liableto be indigestible. (if course, as is tobc expected in sucli a place, there wasan almost infinite diversity of opinion.But there was the grcatcst charity anda refrcshing absence of dogmatismn.1 was delighitcd to find in thle wholetonle of the place, that spirit that usedto mile at Queen's su strongiy, of look-ing for the essentiais and eniphasizingthem. Anson Pheip Stokes, of Yale,struck the key-note of the conference,1 think, whcn lic said, in substance,that at Northfield we were beyond aillittie sectarian interests, ail squabblesabout non-essentiai points of theologyand ail merely historicai questions andwere to get the Positive life of Jesus.T'le importance of the other thingswas not forgotten, but wL' werc askcdto aiiow themn to drop out of sight andto get on the common ground of fel-lowship with this great personality.Feiiows, it was a preparation everyman of us needs to heip us in thestruggles we ail have to go through inour own personal lives and in thework of heiping the cause of Christ inthe lot in iife to which it has pleasedGod to cail us.

John R. Mott and Robt. E. Speerare as great as ever. These two menare a constant marvel to me. Theway feiiows seek interviews with themand pour into their ears ail their deep-est and most secret feelings makes onesee that men stili feel the need offather-conf essors. These men seeilborn for the place. The strongestmeetings -of the 'Çonference werethose they addressed and the absenceof anythng save reai maniiness intheir addresses makes one have greathopes for the permanence of the im-

pressions they made. Speer's addresof the last Suniday afternoon was a

miasterpiece nu miatter fromr what

point of vicw one luukcd at it. Liter-

ary finishi, style oi delix cry, scliolarlyattitude, and above ail, the cool, coin-

mlon-sense and deep carncstncss of

the mani made us ail f eel, as lie did, thte

dangers and responsibilities that

would comne to us 011 lcaving North-field. We xverc inspired to work with

ahl our hcarts, and souil, and iiimd, and

strcngtli, to miake wliat IVe liad gained

tlîcrc a part of ourselves, to bc livel

ouit in every-day life.The morning classes at the Confer-

cncc gave a chance to everyonie to

dcvclop his particular hile. 'lic Ms-sionary Institutes, classes iii Personal

\\ork and Association Methods, and

the five Bible classes, gave one a greatdeal to choose from. I followed Dr.Falconer of Halifax ini a course on the

Teacinig of Jesus. 1 nced hiardly say1 enjoycd ut. ilere too we tried to

gc,-t on groun(l thiat xvas absoltctlyimassailed. We puit ourselves back

i tlic time of the gospes-and let the

vast personality of Jesus conie to us

tintil even the lcgends told of hiim bc-

canie statenicuts of great and abicling

truths. Two Canadians wcre leadlers

of Bible classes, Dr. Falconer, and Dr.Tory of M\,cGiil. Iloth hiad classes

that were enthuisiastic iii praise oftheir leaders, so Canada played(l quite

an important part.

Another meeting that was very fuîll

of real hielp was the delegation meet-ing at thc close of every day, whi wecamne together to talk over our own

work as an Association dtiring Uic

coming session. T'li last meîeting was

J esuis, two liad offered themselves for

the foreign field, and every mnan of usfeit that lie had seen a new vision ofpower and service in bis own if e.

But of course Ž.ýorthfield Confer-ence is not entirely comiposed of mecet-ings. (Uce of the features 1 liked wasthe absence of overcrowding in thatIine. U-ne hiad a chance to think andto nieet mcei. A great value of the

Coliferenice is that one lias a chance to

ineet ini private aiid talk over work

with men who are specialists. And

then on the campus, in the dining-hall, everywhere, onie was meetingmcn of other colleges. In its way itwas a liberal education just to get toknow men oif H-arvard and Yale andPrinceton and Cornieli, and ail theseplaces one hears of so much. Tliemen who corne to Northficld are flot

the weak men cither, but leaders onthe campuisand ini the class-room, meniwho are nîoulding tu a great extentthe stuident if c of their colleges. To

meet these men in the fraternal at-niosphere of Northfleld, does awaywith any provincialism that may beleft

in a person's inake-up and lie becomesin a truer and deeper sense than be-fore, a citizen of the world.

And of course we had lots of funtiiere. Where two or three studentsare gathered together, fui is in the

iinidst of thenm and when there areclose on a thousand the fini is ail themore. Every afternoon was given upto sport, and if T were iii the least fitfor the position of sporting editor, 1would tell of the great series of base-


bail matches iii wbich Yaie won by avery close shave; of the tennis tourna-m'ent on some really fine dirt courts inwhjch two Boers fromi South Africaand a doctor fromi ludia played ver)prominent parts; of the swimiming iiithe river, of the glorions fun on fieldday, and ail those things. '1 he Ith ofJ uly celebrat ion was soinetingunique. The Con ference open-ed Ju1Žlst this year, so we Canadians hiadu tm1-ucli chance of celebrating on ourown national birthday. We did ourshare, though, on tile 4th and wonpraise f rom ail. Mr. Moody waskind enough to lend us a big, brown,plaster-paris lion. We put hlmi on aplatform draped with tlie Union jackand with oak and maple leaves aroundhîm, and he led Canada. Mý,cGillmen came ulext iii white suits and redtunics, with big white INIs on thefront and back. The other Canadi-ans followed, ail marching luck-step.E-ach of the other colleges hiad its cos-tume and the sight as, ail the delega-tdons wound lock-step over the camn-pus, was magnificent. Of courseyells rent the air on ail sides and( inthe midst of bewildering mixtures ofRab! Rah's! and ail the other kinds ofRahi's!, one realized what a variety ofnoises the human animal was capableof producing. At 7.15 we began tomarch into the auditorium. Canadawent in to the tune of "Soldiers of theKing." There were about fifty of usin line and we made our share ofracket. In the auditorium each dele-gation did a "stuint." We sang "TheMaple Leaf Forever," and gav .e anew Yell that I think will be adoptedby Canada - LET THE LIONROAR-folowe(î by an awfttl howl"cad lib." At the same time a Cana-dian flag in the roof unfolded and as

it floated down sprillkled the specta-tors with tiny> paper Union Jacks.Every colleige represented gave itsyeil. I did want somne one to hielp mcegive our own old slogan, but did flotcare to sail throtigh it alone. Therewere about forty men froni Harvard,about seventy f rom Yale, and largedelegations fromi Columbia, Corneli,Pennsylvania, and others too mnimer-ous to mention. Cato's miethod ofdrawing attention to himiself miayhave been ail rigbit for Cato, but per-sonally I prefer the other.

One thmng that interested mie ver)miuch was the strains of "The ( )ldOntario Strand," com-ing f romi themen of Rutgers. This is a college,mostly technical, at New Brunswick,N.J. They had a delegation of somefifteen men living îiear the Canadiansand we becanme (juite int inlate- \Rutgers' man told *me that their col-lege was fuuinded long before theDeclaration of Independence and wasnamed Queen's. They sing "On theB3anks of the (Ad Rara-Tan" as theirspecial song. It bas thé saine tuneand practically the saine words as"On the Old Ontario Strand."

Only one tbing was lacking ta makethe Conference complete, and thatwas a delegation from Queen's. It isa grand tbing to corne in touch withthe great worl(l-movements as onedoes at Northifleldl, ani I think thatQueen's, who is taking a part so largein these movements, should he willingthrough a delegation to let her lightshine among those men, and at thesame time sec that she is not alone inher work. The cost is 'not great andwhen men f rom Dalhousie, Univers-itY of New Brunswick, Acadia, andMt. Allison thought it a good invest-ment to corne ail that way at consider-

BOOK NOTICES.

A MONG the miost recent publica-

Stions are two ncew books wbicb

sbould be particullarly intercsting to

students of Queen's. Prof. Jordan

has this time gone outsidc of bis par-

ticular field, the Ç)ld Testament, and

lias contributed a very valuable ex-

pository work on the Lpistle to the

Philippians. "Thte Philippi1L Gos-

pel' (Toronto--Flcmiiflg H. Reveli

Go.) is written in Dr. Jordan's de-

lightfully lucid style and the Epistle is

treated in a very helpful and refresh-

ing manner. The book shows that an

Old Testament Professor miay be

equally famniliar witb tlic New Testa-

ment, and ilnay bcecqually al)le to set

forth its singular heatuty and meati-

ing.

Morang & Go., Ltd., Toronto, have

recently puiblished a very notewortbiy

volume entitled :"Principall Gýranit,' by

William Lawson Grant and Fredcrick

Hamilton. A biography of a muan of

wbomn it may most juistly be saicl:

"He was the first of the native born,"

sbould be read by every truc Cana-

dian. It is not only a record of a if c

marvellously filled with activities in

every department worthy of so great

a man, but since Principal Grant was

so intimately connected with cvcry

great movement in Canada during the

last forty years the work is itself a

history of Canada for that period.

The Biography of our late Princi-

pal, so dearly beloved and neyer to be

forgotten, should prove flot onl1Y il'-teresting but most stimulating to

hiiglier things to every Queen's stu-

dent. The JOURNAL hopes to be able

to publishi a review of these books in a

later issue.

"The Trust Company Idea and Its

Dcvelopment," by Mr. Ernest Hea-

ton, B.A., (Dxon., barrister-at-law of

(D)sgoode Hall, Toronto, (I>rice one

dollar), is a concise littie book on a

subject that is engaging considerable

attention throughout commercial cir-

cles to-day. Mr. Heaton ventures on

a new field and in a few short chap-

ters-eîght ini ail-bec attenmpts to

crowd iii a treatmnent of a subj ect

whichi it woIl( appear imp)ossible to

adequately seL forth ini a ntuch larger

volume. Its virttie is its extremie

brevity. It condenses for the buisy

reader the resuits of wide researchi

and sound practical judgment. Al

miay flot agree wifth bis conclusions,

yet everyone înuist admit that hie lias

trcated the subject vîgorotusly and

fearlessly ai-d that lie bias brouglit to

liglit many facts of which no man can

afford to be ignorant, wlbo has any

idea of eniploying a Trust Company

as bis excecutor or trustee.

Mr. Heaton gives the bistorical de-

velopment of the Trustee Comnpany

througbout flic [t itislh Empire and

the UJnited States.I-le points out the chief duties of

these companies to individuals and to

the public,-things which the com-

panies themnsclves are not at all slow

about keeping constantly hefore the

public eye; yet the book bias an advan-

tage over the companies in that while

they argue from the standpoint of

"business intercst," Mr. Ileaton dis-

euisses the subjeet from the standpoint

of a seholar and author.

TH1X HALF-MILLION ENDOWMENT

CAMPAIGN.

A N effort is about to be made to

increase the efficiency of Queen's

by adding haif a million to its endow-

ment. The words are easy to write,

we know, but the thing is hard to (Io.

We are sometimes inclined to envy

Toronto's access to the sjlver-casket,which is the public money chest, for,even wben it wants a Convocation

Hall, and not more -teachers, the Goýv-

ernment beads flie list of subscribers

with a bandsome $50,000, more than

the entire cost otf Grant Hall. And

down at "old McGill" the thing seemns

to the bystander to be even more situ-

pie; youi merely turn a tap, and out

gushes a veritable fouintain of gold. A

gymnasiuim is wanted, let us say; the

Croestis-Aladdin rubs his iamp; we

look expectantly, and Io, "the spien-

(ltur fails on castle walls."But the outsider or bystander is apt

after ail to take an ouitside view of

what is going on. The Governnmentin Ontario coid not support Toronto

as generouisly as it (lOCS, were it ilotthat the people of O)ntario believe iiueclucation and support the Govern-ment. And again it has neyer been

'thle habit of wealthy mren to throwawav their means reclessly 0o1 unde-serving objects. Behinci the steadystreami of munificence inuindating Mc-Gi there mutst be the dynamnics of astrong belief in the value of that insti-tultion to the higher intellecttual life ofthe country.

Toronto and Montreal will hiave nodesire to dispute ouir fond boast thatin Quieen's there is a tincture of philo-sophy, that is a love of Iearning, andalso a tincture of pilanthropy, fhiat is

a wish to be of use. lit our extra-mutral courses Queen's bas given in-struction to those who are edulcation-ally handicapped, a struggling teachi-er, it may be, who for some reasonwas unable to attend classes. Norhave the intramurals coirnplained thatthey are not getting their penny's-Worth. But work that is more effi-cient andi wouild cover a greater rangecould be (lone if the means were avail-

able. It needs no lynx-eye to see thatsome of the existing departmentsshotuld now be materially strengthen-ced, wbile there are whole provinces of

learning and research, whose borders

can harclly be said to be even touched.The nîaterial prosperity of the countryis making strides, and the intellectutal

interests shotild be abreast of the ma-

teriai. What better way of keeping

pace witb E7ngland, Scotiand, the

States and Germnany is there than to

emullate their zeal for their colleges ?We can shoot as accurately, row and

sail as fast, hit the golf bail as far and

straiglit as they; let uis also tbink asclearly, know as thoroughly, aim ashigh.


Tt is but bare justice to say that thegraduates of Qucen's have aiwaysbeen ready to prove their loyaity bytheir works, and have, flot withoutpinching and1 scraping, seen theirAima Mater safeiy throuigh moretight places than one. So they wiliflot be surprised to hear again the(lrurr beating to the charge. Thistime it is surely an encouragement forthen to .know that three strongsynods of the Preshyterian chuirch aretaking the bruint of the work ; but theveterans will, doubtiess, be at theirl)osts, (leronstrating again the truthof the adage that there is strengtheven in fagots, if they are bundled to-gether. The unde rgraduates of thecoilege, whichi bas been founided onthe rock of the 01(1 Ontario stran(lsomewbere about the timie of theflood, wish this new enclowinentmovement the ultmost succeSS.

JOURNAL VS. HAND-BOOK.IT may seem rather superflious ta thereaclers of these editoriai columins

that the Quleen's College JOURNAL

should personaiiy corne forth andtruimpet its rigbit ýto preeminence andpriority over ail other coliege publica-tions or mecliurns. If there were notdecided reasons for mnaking such aseif-lauidatory assertion, a public pro-clamation of this nature woid bavetoo, much the smack of a cheerfulegoism coipliienting itself. Whathas arisen to mar the peaceful medita-fions of the editor, wbo is by profes-sion a wieider of the pen, flot of tbesword ?,Here is tbe "causa belli": When

the Business Manager saliied forth toprocure the usuai quota of advertise-ments, whîcb by the way are one ofthe MOSt essential factors in the pub-

lication of this periodical, he foundthat a competitor had alreadv heenover the grouind. This rival evincedsuch acuite business enterprise thatour admiration for bis zeai was soonswallowed uip by our extreme pity forbis indiscretion. The writer of thisarticle is a firrn believer in the law ofcompetition, but at the sanie time lielabours under the impression thatveracity and a large open-mindednesssbouid characterize ail coilege com-mercial transactions, imp)ortant facts,which mnay bave nmomentarily escapedour friend's attention ?

You aIl know the littie book towhich we refer. Tt resembies Web-ster's Pocket Dictionary in more waysthan one, and is a veritabie Klondikeof information to the student-body.But perhaps von didn't know "that itwas tbe stutieuts' i)aler,- "that it biada larger circulation than the JOUR-

NAýL,' anti that "not onlv were its ratesfar cheaper but it was a more efficientadvertising medium than the JOURNAL,

as the student consulted it as religi-ousiy as he does bis Bible, or the stateof bis puirse."

The hait was tempting, and in somnecases the advertiser bit before be wasfuiliy aware of the true facts of thecase. Now (lon't misunderstand ourmeaning. There is no one, we believe,in Quleen's University, who will sayone wor(l against the printing of thi'simportant colmpeditum of college in-fornation. But without hurting anyone's feelings we wish to emphasizetbe following points, which are knownto ail, but have apparently slippedfrom sonie inemories, nainely: Tlhatthe QuipEN's CoLLEGE, JOURNAL. is tueonly officiai organ of the whoie stul-(lent biody, anti that as such it suirely

bas priority over ail other college pub-


lications. The JOURNAL. COIIld not beprinte(l withouit the assistance of theadvertisers, but in spite of this fact itdoes not clai a monopoll\, or mi aniway attenipt to throw a stiunhllinghlock in the way of any, of the collegesocieties or organizations, wbo pro-cure advertisernents to defray cost ofprintiug programmfles, &C., as long astbey conflue tbcmnselves to their re-spective splieres. 1311t the JOURNAL1

objects, andi objects nmost strongly, to

the uuncalled for 'knlockiug" that xvasdonc this stummiier. Suich Machiavel-bian tactics sow the see(l of dou'bt inthe nîiund of the advertiser, and sbiakcluis confidence iu ail Queeni's publica-tions. 1'ronm an econoii standpointit were far better for the JOURNAL to

advance the necessary miouey to en-sure the printiug of the book to whichwe refer than that its existence shouildbe threatened bv sncb wanton and im-probable statements.

If youi cannot beip) the managementof the JOITRNAL 1w any active partici-

pation lu its affairs, at least give it thehenefit of your moral support. Althe a(ivertisers in this paper are asrnuich interested in the resits of thieir

POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

uncorrupted citizen of Ointario to-day.

We, who bave plumned ourselves on"

our dlean politics 'have in tbe last de-

cadeC plunged ouirselves intu the filth

and ri-ire of political corruption in a

r-nost disg-racefuil mianner. The recent

election trials have clearly revealed to

the electorate tbe total unworthiness

of both parties to the public confi-

dence. Judging f roni the facts

divulged in the courts we are reluct-

antly forced to the conclusion that in

every closely contested district there

werc false oathis, impersoflatiofi and

bribery paid for out of the " election

fiunds"-whiceh are nothing more nor

less than corruption fuinds-of hothi

the contesting parties, and that the

seat went to the highest "bidder."

This is a woefuil state of affairs

against whichi every patriotic Cana-

dian must raise bis voice.

The cause of tbis is not in any one

man. Tt is no more to be charged to

Mr. 'Ross and Mr. Whitney than to

the Hon. Edward Blake or Sir Johin

McDonald. Tf any one of these re-

sorted to corruipt practice tbey doubt-

less fotund a very large constituiencdy

as corruipt as themselves and both-

briber and bribed bave hiad a demoral-

izing« effeet uipon the public mind.

There have always been men in the

couintrv that qcorned to sell their free-

dom. "The nmost skilfuil and extrava-

gant corrulptionist, the most darinz

and fool-hiardv "'vote-anld-influience"

ptirchaser cotild neyer bave been

brazen enoilgh to make anv suicb base

and demoralizitig proposition to 'Prin-

cipal Grant. His aniswer woild have

been a buirst of indiFnation like a

flash from a tbuinder-cloild, from the

shock of which the "boodler" wotuld

neyer recover tintil he tiirned from bis

seduictive abominations to be a man.

No, the cause is flot atone in the man

who buys, flot atone in -the man who

sells, but it is traceable to the debased

mnoral consciois-ness of the citizens

aud to the exceedingly low estimate

they place on their political freedom.

Changing governments will flot im-

prove this lamentable condition of

affairs chiefiy becauise the core of the

trouble is not there. A government

with a large majority does not stoop

to such practice, flot on accouint of

principle, but becauise it bas no need.It is when the parties are evenly

divided that corruption becomes ram-

pant and the latent baseness of poli-

tîcal leaders and supporters is made

mianifest. Thuls the evil cannot be

ctired by puilling down one leader and

setting up anotber. Men personally

implicated in illegal practices shotild

be excluded f rom public office by alI

means, and the "Bench" is to be com-

mended for its fearless action in these

matters, but it is the higbest folly to

trace ail the corruption to the "rotten-

ness of tbe governiments." The "rot-

tenness"i is not in the governments,

nor in the parties as suchl, but in the

public consciousqness. Two evenly 'bal-

aflce(l parties, with patronage on the

one band and tbe hope of it on the

other, with no reallv "live" issules on

which to appeal to thc people. 'have al-

ways heeni corriipt since party gov-

ernment was introduced into politics.

Thils it wouild seem that there are

but two wavs of escaping corruption

in politics. The first is-and this is

bv far the better one-to edilcate the

puiblic consciouisness to a proper esti-

mate of individilal freedomn and to a

loftv view of the trile dignity of man.

The second method does not cure, bt

serves as a temporary remedy, and it

is for the parties to corne to the people


with stifficiently important questionsthat bribery will thereby be renderedimpossible, and that candidates andparties cease to show the electorate s0plainly that their chief desire is to"eget into office" regardless of themeans.

This low state of affairs, now sonoticeable in politics, is flot by anymeans confined to this department oflife. It bas its seat in the humanbeart, flot in the institutions. It is one'of the most lamentable features ofLabor Ijnionism to-day. Everywheremen want something for notbing.Daily men suppress their ideas ofright and justice and honor for a littiegain. Laborers look bard on the"wages"~ si de of the contract, but at-tain their miserable ideal best whenthey give the least work for a unit ofpay. Where is tbe mnanly, dignifiedindependence and integrity that oncecharacterjzed the artisan? It has beensupplanted by the 'base desire to getSomnething for notbing. He bas soldthese tbings to an organization withthe vain hope that Labor would thi;sbe able to grasp Capital by tbe throatand cause lier to disgorge a portionof bier unjtîst plunder. Manuifacturingand business in general are likewisemnarred witb tbis sanie degenerategreed of gain. Governments, privatemembers, municipalities, etc., arebribed to secure suitable legisiationregardless of what is right.

But are the universities and studentsin universities free froni tbis saniespirit of corruption ? Are we not alittle prone todeCompound 'for sins we al'e inclined

toBy damning those we have no niind

Be it said to our shame, but thissanie spirit of corruption reveals itselfin our very midst. Cliques, secretsocieties and ail such organizationsthat work in the (lark for their privateadvantage against their fellows, to-gether withi the "grafters," are justthe materials out of whicli later onpolitical corruptionists are formed.This self-sanie detestable spirit sbowsitsel-f at the examinations in everv tini-versity in the forni of slhameless copy-ing whiclî in spite of the strictest vigi-lance is yet not infrequently practiced.

The evil tien is riglît here in ourmidst. Llproot it in tbe individuial orthe nation, can neyer he pure. Nocountry can he politically dlean whilelier educated men are corrupt. Uni-versity men shotuld be a'bove reproacb.Canada needs men more than doctorsor lawyers or engineers. Pour outno curses on tbe Goverument-thepeople make the goveruments. Parlia-ments are but the reflexion of the menwho tolerate theni. A rîghteous elec-torate demands a righteouis govern-ment, and their demands are alwaysheeded.

us to consider the probiemn of a "Stu-dents' Residence" and "Dining-hall ."

Everv year students are confrontedwith'the staternent of suich convincingfacts as 'coal is dear,' "kerosene hasraised one cent a gallon," "they saytea is going to be 25c. a pound," or"tooth-picks are going to be of apoorer quality for the money."

'The Levana Society looks forwardto a winter of good things. Our flrstmeeting, with the address of ourpresident, Miss Williams, and musicalnumbers followed by its social hour,gave us a foretaste of this. To tbeFreshies a timely word-you cannotafford to miss a single meeting asyou'l see by reading our winters pro,-gramme. Here we learn to conductour meetings along business lines, andto express ourselves in debate-bothprepared and impromptu. We bearf rom time to time the sweet numbersof the world's musical souls or learnof the lives and work of other masterminds. In a word we can bere keepalive our love of the beautiful alongthose lines more or less crowded outof tbe 'ordinary University calendar,and round out our characters into thesymmetry of true womanbood.

In view of the fact that tbere is adesire on tbe part of tbe authorities ofQueen's to have some education inmusic added to the curriculum, andthat there already exists a fund forthat purpose, it is týo be boped that thelady students avail themnselves of tbetreat provided by the Ladies' MusicalClub., Mr. Rubin Goldmark, of NewYork, is to give bis series of LectureRecitals with illustrations on thepiano on Wagner's Music Dramas.The series is arranged for the week,Nov. 2lst to 27th.

Those who heard bis lecture herelast year were unanimouis in desiringthat arrangements should be made forthis course. By special arrangementstudents may obtain tickets for thccourse, for one dollar.

The Ladies' Gymnasium is openand classes are being formed for thewinter course. Miss Pierdon is togive the instruction, and it is to behoped that not a single girl neglectthis most essential part of ber devel-opmeflt.

Among the many ordinary and ex-traordinary features of college life,perbaps the m-ost novel is the utterdisregard of times and seasons asplanned by Dame Nature. WbileMother Earth is calling to ber chul-dren to, lay aside their suimmer gar-ments of the day, and prepare to donthe white robe of natuire's restingtime, our Aima Mater is bestirringherself to provide for a fresb influx oflife. Our spring time is fairly uponus, bringing witb it, in the class of'08, our spring flowers. For we toohave spring flowers-gentle violets,sturdy hyacinths and graceful tulips,and nowhere do tbey receive a moretender welcome than in our YoungWomen's Christian Association.

Those wbo were present at our firstmeeting can, 1 amn sure, have no doubtof the sincerity of our welcome. TheLevana Room was looking its pretti-est.

For the benefit of those flot presentwe will give briefly the substance ofthe latter. We would like you toknow first of ail that our associationis for ail denominatioris. it is Christ-ian, flot Sectarian. Ail are welcometo corne to the meetings and coîltri-bute their share towards giving helpto others. We know that no girlenters college who will flot have lierproblems to solve, and we will endea-.vor to help lier where we can. Ail ofus have a spiritual life to develop; ourmeetings together are intended tostrengthen this feeling after the un-,seen and eternal. We aim, flot tocultivate a sickly, emotional religios-ity, but a true womanly character,strong to suifer, and willing to laborto make the world about us a wee bitbrighter for our having lived in it.

Nor is our interest confined to thespiritual if e of our girls. We some-times, however, feel a littie difficultyin speaking of the care of the physical,'because we have been told that people.in glass houses should flot throwstones, and we are ail of us inclined

'to neglect our health in the search ofwhat, for the time, seems more im-portant or inviting. Our Hon. Presi-dent's words of counsel were there-,fore very timiely, and we feit that theysprang from a real, motherly interestin us, which we very much appreciate.Mrs. Dyde advised us to pay specialattention to exercise, ventilation, andearly retiring f rom functions of asocial nature. No Objection wasraised to any special form. of socialentertaifiment, but the protracting ofthose social eyents into the smallhours of the morning was very much

deplored. It was maintained that nogirl could remain ont late and feelfresh for lier next day's work. No oneperson can regulate the closing hourof social functions, but eadi girl canmake up lier mind to leave early ber-self, and it will not be long before amore wholesome order of things pre-vails than at present.

After the Presidents' addresses, anumnber of the girls extended in a fewwords their welcome to the incomingclass, and we would like to emphasizehere these words of welcome.

An invitation was then extended bythe President to the iiew mierubers ofour family to visit the Fort on the fol-lowing day, weather permitting. Themeeting then closed with the Mizpahil3enediction.

On Friday afternoon, October theseventh, the Y.W.C.A. held its secondmeeting. We had present with usMiss C. Macdonald, who sails in No-Ivember for japan to take up lier mis-

QUREN'S UNI VERSITY JOURNAL.

Ar&.o

O NCE more the hialls of Queen'sare thronged with busy groups

of young men and maidens who are

here in the quest of knowledge and-

other things. There is something ex-

hilarating in the mere association of

those who are bound by ties of com-mon work and the pursuit of that

ideal set forth by our Aima Mater.The past two weeks have gone quick-

iy and merrily in renewing old ac-

quaintances and cementing new ones;

in Oriental interviews with boarding-

house mistresses and Occidental oneswith Professors and books. And in

ail the rush and excitement of open-

ing week the most pleasing and ever-present feeling is: How delightful to

be back in the atmosphere of the insti-

tution that is filling so large a place inour lives 1

The ubiquitous freshman is the

most prominent personage with us at

this season. There are said to be Fiore

in the freshman class in Arts this year

than ever before. We hope that the

present era of expansion and progressat our college is but the beginning of

a far greater destiny than we before

had hoped for it. To a large extentthe future of Queen's depends on the

ability of hier graduates to make them-

selves a force in the great outsideworld. That hier sons and daughtersin the past have been a significant fac-

tor in our country's if e augurs wel

that their successors will be the samne.

For this reason we would impress up-

pn the freshmen their value to

Queen's; as, perhaps, they havethought hitherto only of Queen's

value to them.No doubt many motives impelled

the members of the new class to comehere. That these motives were al

more or less worthy is probable. Butit ought to be a subject of serious con-sideration for each one as to whetherhe bas really determined to be some-thing for the University as well ashave the University be something forhim. Our college has an illustriousrecord, and it is well that each mem-ber of the new class should bear inmind fhat he already bas a reputationto sustain. No person who is anima-ted at ail 'by generous or worthy mo-tives can lightly consider his import-ance to the larger Queen's.

But our coliege does not demandthis withouit an adequate return. iEachone of us bas corne to coliege, we pre-sume, for a definite purpose. Thatpurpose can be summed up in onephrase: To make the most of iife.To this end many have turned toQueen's expecting, no doubt, that aneducation such as is received here wilhelp to actualize the ideal set forth.And we venture to say that thereneyer was a time in the history of thiscountry tha't a college education wasmore urgently required hy the menand women who are to mould the lifeof the nation. The opportunity formaking the nlost of life was n-eyer s0great and the issue neyer so momen-tous as now. Many (so-called) self-made men'have loudly deciared thatthe prize of success is within fhe graspof ail who dare to reach for it, ratherthan with those who may take time tomake adequate preparation by educa-tion.

The fitting answer to such pluto-crats is that they have neither fairlyestimated the end nor the means to beempioyed to, attain it; and that. aboveail, they are far f rom being the origin-ai craftsmen they presumed them-selves to be. For in the one case they

have judged the prize to he material ;and in the othcr have underestimiatecithe value of the rest of society to theirsuccess, and ini particular the powerwiel(led by the disciplinec inmmd. Nowthe end aimed at by the truly goodcitizen is rnaterial and much more. Toadequately perform the duties of agood citizen and make flie most 'of lifewe must be trained; and this discip-line is the more easily obtained at aninstitution-of learning where there areexperts in command.

The Arts students are, then, t.o becongratulated thait their work-per-haps more than that of any othier fac-ulty-enables themi to take a broaderand at the same time, a more sincereview of life. It is.the supreme neces-sity to learn the art of making themost of life. Yoiî can start life withthe accumulated dlollars which yourparents gathered; but you cannot be-gin in living guided by the same wis-dom which they have stored duringyears of discipline. It is possible torapidly acquire a knowledge of thematerial world, which learned scien-tists have garnered, by thinking theirthoughts after them. But this is flotthe case in the Art of Living. It isimpossible to acquire in any such rela-tively easy and rapid way the spiritwhich made these men's lives trulyg1reat.

The material world loomns verylarge in the eyes of men at present.And it is but just to say that a suc-cessful life is impossible without the,rneans of living. We mnust first livebefore we can live nobly. The greatwealth of the present age makes itpossible that so many can take time tolearn more accurateîy the Art of life.These same plutocrats have fortifiedthe citadels of wisdom with their

wealth. Yet, acknowledging ail, letus not be blindled by the gaudy colorsof the present to the chastened beautyof the past; nor let our cars be so(leafened by the strident notes of pre-sent materialism that we cannot hearthe clear tones of past experience. Itis here that the Arts sttîdents have agreat privilege. The future is flotours, and we cannot even attempt tofathom the complex problemi that itwill bring to us; but we know if weçan imbibe something of that spiritwhîch anin-ated the great men of bye-gone days, and seek to let suchi a spiritguide our lives in the present, thefuture battle will have been alreadywon.

The JOURNAL extends to the class'08 a cordial welýcome and trusts thatthey will enter with zest into ail thevaried life of the college world andthat they wil fill with dignity and hon-our any position of trust confei-redPpon them. They will be tendered amore delightful welcome at the Fresh-man's Reception at an early date.

TPhe Bulletin boards in the Arts,building at present are a wonder tohehold. Here notices are placed overone anotiier until ail is confusionworse confounded. Many of the offi-cial, and other important notices, are-obscured from view; and oftentimes.such notes have smart addenda bv un-aIiscovered humorists, who shaîl putMark Twain, some day soon, in a,back seat. Surely something oughtto be donc to remedy this state of,affairs. It is suggested that a Bulle-t.in board for important notices be,placed in the hall, on which no notescould be placed unless. signed by theRegistrar.

We believe this is the case atVarsity, and it is tîme somethingsimilar was donc at Queen's.

TfO insert a Divinity column in aIJOURNAL appearing two weeks

before the Divinities themselves seemslike preaching a sermon in an emptychurcli. Then when to this is addedthe further fact that this is the firstissue of the JOURNAL for a new termiand that this column is accordinglythe first production from the pen ofits modest editor, verily we tremble tomake, our littie bow, even before theseempty pews.

As the raison d'être of this columnwe need oniy plead the recent momnen-tous events that have taken place inDivinity Hall. Dr. Jordan's returnhome again after his beneficiai yearabroad,--Prof. McComJb's sudden re-signation,-and the appointment ofProf. MacNaughton after bis lament-ed loss to McGill for a year-what afeast ail this news is to an editor'sdevouring pen 1

During last termi we were consoledfor the absence of our beioved Dr.Jordan cbiefiy by two facts: First,that every mail brought us encourag-ing news of improvement in our ab-sent professor's health, and second,that his absence gave us tb&7 opportun-ity of 'having a most pleasant and pro-fitable year's work with Rev. Dr.Macgillivray. While we * rejoice towelcome Dr. Jordan back to Queen 'sagain, we regret to learn that hie is notyet as strong as we wouid ail wishhim to be. Wbile hie is much betterthan when hie went away a year agohie will have to return to his work cau-tiously, being careful flot to overtaxhis strength. So we will ail have totry and ligbten his duties by our owndiligence and hard work, hoping thatin a short time hie will feel himself asstrong and well as ever.

When telegraph and newspaperspread abroad the news that the Rev.Prof. McComb had resigned the chairof Church History at Queen's it cameindeed as a shock to us ail. We aretruly sorry to have heard the last ofProf. McComb's lrish wit and elo-quence, which lie poured forth inthose sonorous and ponderous periodsof his on the thrilling topic of Euse-bius. His broad scholarship and

scholastic reputation won our admira-tion, if flot our awe. Stili, in ail hion-esty and frankness it may be whisper-ed that in some other respects Prof.McComb fell under our criticai dis-favor. Try as best we rnight we wereunable to get interested in his methodof studying Church History. Ourlectures, or rather volumes of dictatednotes, were duli and bard to digest.The feast was of the "disiecta mem-bra" of Church History, and ail oursearching failed to reveal to us any

underlying or overlying principlebinding this mass of material to-gether. The accumulation of such amass of detailed facts, together with asystem of weekly examinations, isvery apt to becomne wearisoinu Lo theflesh, even when from the hands ofthe ablest professor. Outside of Iheseresuits of his long study and investi-gation We May say that Prof. Mc-Comb left us very little. We wereneyer able to find just what bis pointof view was on the great problems ofan amateur theologian. Indeed, as aman, we failed signally to get ac-quainted with him, and from first tolast he remained to most of us astranger within our gates. In demo-cratic Queen's a professor who knew-only one or 'two of his stud 'ents byname and who made no pretence ofrecognizing themn out of the collegemust needs be regarded withi sornedisfavor. Our criticism, we trust, isfree fromn any malice and perfectlyfrank; indeed we will admit that verypossiýbly the fanît is haîf our own, andwe repeat that we are sorry to loseProf. McComb's eloquence and learn-ing, which we were able to respectrather than appreciate.

It is with very great pleasure in-deed that we welcome Prof. Mac-Naughton back to Queen's. For along time we felt very jealous of theArts faculty for having in their midsta professor who, we feit, rightfullybelonged to Divinity Hall. It waslong a dreamn of every true member ofthe Pope's flock that some day andsomnehow we would be able to>stealProf. MacNaughton from his quar-ters in the Arts Building and trans-plant him into the Hall. When thediscouraging news came that McGillhad secured the services of SO highly

SITY JOURNAL. 29

prized a professor our dreamns andhopes were dashed to the gromnd.Only the most sanguine of us daredexpress the hope that perhaps evenyet he would return to Queen's. Sowhen the news came of Prof. Mac-Naughton's appointment to the vacantchair of Church History it seemed toogood to be true, and we waited in al-most breathless anxiety to hear if hewould accept the appointment. Hisreturn meets with the favor of ail con-cerned and is to be regarded as a highcompliment both to Prof. MacNaugh-ton himself an-d to Queen's that heshould choose to leave his new posi-tion at McGill and return to his firstlove. Those of us who were privi-leged to listen to a short course ofChurch History lectures f rom Prof.MacNaughton two years ago knowwell what an enjoyable year's workwe have ahead of us. His eloquentand vivid style, his magnificent en-thusiasmn and 'broad grasp of the sig-nificance of the various events and theperiod to which they belong, togetherwith his fascinating personality, ailcombine to ensure us a course of lec-tures of unparalleled interest andvalue.

The trustees have desired that asPrincipal Gordon will be so much em-ployed with the work in connectionwith the further endowment of theUniversity, he should be relieved ofail class-work. In view of this thePrincipal has made arrangements forthe classes that he had himself expect-ed to take. Systematic Theology willbe taken by Rev. Dr. Macrae, former-ly Principal and Professor of Sys-temnatic Theology in Morrin College,QUebec. The subject assigned inNew Testament Theology, viz., TheTeaching of Jesus, will be taken up

30 VULLi u ) CIIViV I

by Professor MacNaughton. In the(lepartnient of the English Bible, inwhich last year the Principal took up

the 01(1 Testament, lectures will thlisyear be given by Rev. Eber (irunini.Sc.D. The New Testamient depart-ment of this work will be conductedby Professor Mac Naughton. ThePrincipal hopes to m-eet with theclasses fromn time to time, but ofcourse cannot (1o s0 as regularly as inother years. Dr. Macrae will alsotake the work in Homiiletics and inPastoral Theology, and Dr. Milliganwill give a course of lectures addition-ai to that given by hlmi last year.

AMONG the 'Mlýeds." there is ageneral feeling of appreciation

of the successful efforts put forth bythe Faculty, and especially the Deanan(l Secretary, in their (lesire to makethe Medical Building, as it should be,one of the cleanest aud most or(lerlyin the University. Since college closedlast May, extensive repairs and un-provements have been made throughi-ont the entire building; every roomifrom the dissecting "Den" to the ce1-lar has received a f resh coat of paint,the ceilings have been kalsomined,new floors have been laid in several ofthe rooms, and everything bas beenput in excellent order for the session'swork; so it is to be hoped that .the stu-dents will co-operate with the Profes-sors in keeping the building in its pre-sent excellent condition.

The Medical curriculum, too, hiasbeen greatly improved. Dr. Ether-ington bas been appointed Lecturerand Demonstrator of ComparativeAnatomy, giving bis entire time totbis important branch of miedicine.

Dr. Etherington is one of Queen'sbriglitest graduates; lu bis year liewon the position of House Surgeon ofthe General Hospital, and after bisterni tliere went to Edinburgh andLondon, where lie studied the mnostmodern methods of teaching Anatomyand preparing Anatomnical prepara-tions. He will be a decidedly stroungaddition to the Faculty.

Dr. Campbell, Professor of MateriaMedica, bas supplemented bis uisualclasses by a course of lectures on theadministration of drugs, to be deliver-ed at the General Hospital. Dr. Ross,bis assistant, who took, a course in ex-l)erimental Pharmacology at the West-cru Reserve University during thesummer, will teach this part of thework ln one of the laboratories of theold Arts' Building. Mr. Gibson, ex-aminer for the Ontario College ofPharmacy, bas taken charge of thelaboratories of the Medical Building,wbere Pharniacy proper is tauight, andwill instruct the students f rom thedmuggist's point of view.

For the Clinics the services of Dr.Hemiman of Rockwood Hospital bavebeen secured for teaching, especiallyClinical Medicine, in addition to thework already-done.

Physics bas been added again to thework mequimed of the students, and acourse of lectures suited to the me-quimements of miedicals will be deliv-emed in the new Physiological Build-ing by Prof. Carmichael.

That the course of studies pmovîdedat Queen's Medical College mankswith the bigliest lu the xvorld is amplyproved by the recognition of bercourse by Cambridge University. Thismecans tînt Queen's miedical studeuts,aftem spending one, two or three ses-sions here, will have the prîvilege of

R ETURNING again after ourlabours of the past few months,

we are pleased to find opportunity foreven greater efforts for the coming

winter. Several changes have beenmade in the Engineering courses

which sbould lead to a more thorouglitraining. The varions laboratorieshave been more fully equipped, andthe increase of our staff is but a na-tural resuit of the progress which Sci-ence has always represented.

We are pleased to welcome in thisfirst issue, as new Professors, Mr.Kirkpatrick, formerly City Engineer,in Civil; Mr. Teague in Mechanical;Dr. Dickson in Cliemistry, and Mr.McPhail.

It was with deep regret tliat we

heard of the serions illness of our

Dean. It is the sincere wisb of al

that he may continue to improve, and1

may soon be with us again.E. A. Collins bas not yet made his

appearance, tbotugb it is said be leftfor college a couple of weeks ago. Itis probable hie is making up for the

sleep he lost during the sumrmer.D. D. Cairnes proved sncb a success

in his field of labor during the vaca-tion that he is loath to leave it. He

bas already valuated the Stone quarryon Division Street.

A. S. S. Montgomery, who hasbeen doing research work on street

car controllers for the past few

montbns, with the C. G. E., in Peter-

boro', will return to take up bis dutiesnn the JOURNAL staff as SOOn as be ha,;

THE SLOGAN SOUNDS IN PITTSBURG.

It should be of interest to engineer-ing students, and to electrical stu-dents in particular, to know some-thing about this Pittsburg, "the work-shop of the world." 1 arn employedas an engineering apprentice in theforemost electrical mnanufacturingcompany of tbe world, working in afactory wbere over ten thotisand per-sons are employed.

Most of tbe apprentices and engi-neers of the company beli'ong to theWestingbouse Electric Club, of aboutsix hundred members. The electricalengineering apprentices are collegegraduates f rom ail over who bavebeen fortunate enouigb to be adrnittedto the company's course. The courseconsists rnainly of a system of trans-fers f rom one departrnent to anotherduring a period of about two years,more or less, and is in reality the com-pany's hatcbery of its supply of elec-trical engineers.

The Club opened its winter's activ-ity last Saturday night in a "Smoker"


with over two hundred members pre-sent, rcprescnting fifty-five collegcs.We were entertained in varions ways,among which were college yells. Itprobably lias vervI seldom happenedthat fifty different college yeîls havebeen heard in one evening at oneplace, and Our readers will be pleasedto hear that Queen's slogan wassouinded in gooci shape and was theonly one accorded an encore. Threeor four Canadians, assisteci by a haîf-(lozen fellow-apprentices, made oldPittsburg sound once like the collegecampus at home.

The various colleges are to be re-presented on the walls of the Clubhall by their college banners, andQ ueen's coat-of-arnis will be amongthe rest.

ALMA MATER SOCIETY.

T HE regullar meeting of the AmaMater Society was held on Sa-

turdav evening, October lst, in Con-vocation Hall, Vice-President LavelIin the chair. Commuiications wereread from J. V. Dillabough, resigningthe Assistant- Secretaryship of theRugby Football Club; frorn S. M.Polson, resigning the Business Man-agership of the JOURNAL, and fromH. Dunlop, resigning 'the SportingEditorship of the JOURNAL. Theseresignations were accepted and ini theplaces thus left vacant.there were ap-pointed respectively J. Fairlie, J. A.Donnell, and J. Faîrlie. In the ab-sence of the regular critic, Mr. F.Nicol gave the critic's report.

The regular meeting of A. M. S.was held in Convocation Hall on Sa-turday evening, October 8th, Vice-President Lavell in the chair. A comn-munication was read fromn G. H.

Smith, resigning the position of cap-tain of the second Rugby team. Thisresignation was accepted. As it wasearly in the session there was littlebusiness to be transacted, neverthelessa motion to adjourn was voted down.Some college songs were perpetratedand there was also a discussion as tothe advisability of the students at-tempting to learn the proper prontin-ciation of the Quleen's yeIl. It wasfinally decided to request some onecompetent to give the pranuinciationto be prescrnt at the next meeting ofthe society and render what assistancemight be possible. It was also movedand seconded that the Execuitivearrange with the Freshman Year fora programme on the evening of Octo-ber 22nd.

The meeting then adjourned,

T HE Annual Sports were held inithe Fair Girotinds on Wednes-

day, Oct. 5th, ail the events being munoff in the afternoon, an improvementover former years. In spite of thethreatened ramn (w'hich did arrive intimie to spoil the last few events) theattendance was good, the presence ofso many of the professors being espe-cially pleasing. The small number oflady students was clecidedly disap-pointing, but they will have an appor-tunity at the Rugby matches of show-ing how deep an interest tbey take inQueen's suiccess, surely as dear tothemn as to the men. This year thegames were thrown open to the RoyalMilitary College and to the sister uni-versities, and several representativesfromn the R.\t.C. were present whodid flot go away empty-handed.


The form shown was flot very high,owing no doubt to lack of training,but a number of the events were keen-Iy contested, and though. no recordswere broken, Cadet Holmes, closelypushed by Paul, tied the present re-cord for the quarter-mile.

The following acted as judges:Profs, Shortt, Dyde, Kirékpatrick,Callander, Dr. Etherington, Dr. Ryanand A. Kennedy, M.A. The time-keepers were Dr. Bell, P. B. Crewsand J. Matheson, M.A. Dr. Richard-son acted as starter.

Team Race-i. '06 team, consist-ing of D. McLellan, P. Dobbs, J.Richardson, A. G. Cameron. 2. '08.3. '05.

The mile race was flot run offowing to the heavy track and the con-tinued rain It is proposed to run itoff later in the term.

The Individuial Chamipionship waswon by A. G. Cameron, '06, he havingsecured four firsts and two seconds,giving a total of sixteen points. CadetHolmes took second place, with ninepoints. The Inter-Year Champion-ship was easily won 'by '07, with agrand total of seventy points as com-pared with '06, second, with forty-fivepoints.

Several Queen's men accepted theinvitation to participate in the R.M.C.sports on Oct. 8fb, and returned, theproud possessors of four firsts andfour seconds. A. G. Cameron, '06,Queen's champion, made a close runfor -the Individuial Ctip, with twentv-three points, only two points behindCadet Holmes, the winner. ur menreport most courteouis and cordialtreatment at the hands of the Cadets.

The Rugby Club was fortunate insecuring the services of Mr. Chas.Webstem, B.A., an 01(1 Qucen's andGranite player, as coach for the teams.Owing to his long stay in the gainewith the giants of old, Mm. Webster ison to ail its fine points andl his assist-ance is especially belpful this seasonwhen the loss of so many of the 01(1


rnen necessitates filling the ranks withnew blood. The practices have beennoticeable for their splendid snap andvigor, and many new men are show-ing 1-p well for- places on the teamis.Our wing lines, strangely enouigh fora Quleen's team, are rather light andithere are places for ,orne of the bighusky cbaps wandering arouind thecollege halls. It wouldn't be the firsttime a new man had won a "first"place with its possihilities of a coveted"Q." Bv the time this reaches ourreaders cach team will hiave drawnblood, and one can then speak withmore certainty of our chances.

The Inter-Year Ruigbymnatches willbe run off without fail this season,and tlie commi-ittees of the variousyears arc strongly uirged to miakearrangements wrell lu time an(l havetheir teams on the field on the allotteddays. These matches and the prac-tices for themn offer splendid opportul-nities for getting out new mnaterial,and the Rugby management will al-ways be on the watch for promisingplayers.

With six courts in commission theTennis Club shouild be able to supplyall clemands on that game. Thecourts are flot yet in first-rate condi-tion, but the entries for the tourna-ment are large and many excitinggamnes are being played for tbe vani-ous championships.

Owing to, the absence from collegeof Mr. J. V. Dillabouigh, AssistantSertr-raue of the Rugby'Cluilb, that position was renderedvacant. .At the first meeting of theA.M.S. Mr. J. Fairlie was appointedto the office.

Thc lowcr campus, whicli was level-le(l during the stimuler, will, unfortu-nately, not be in shape for practicestill ncxt year. Consequently the Asso-ciation Football Club lias been grant-e(l the tise of the uipper campus forcertain days in the week, and the fol-lowers of that game are getting inigood work. On Satuirday, Oct. 8th,they won a victory over the BlackWatcb, a city team, to the tune of 3-0.

Last session the Ladlies' G'ýym. lu theold Arts' Building was opene(l too lateto be rmuch patronized by the fairdaughters of Levana, with the dread-e(l exanis. loorning uip hefore thein,tbough indeed they were in ail thegreater need of exercise at that time.Arrangements are beingý made by theAthletic Committee for regular classesta be given bv tlie Physical Instructorof the City Y.M.C.A. When theseare complete1 it is expected good uisewill be made of the gym.

T HE history of medicine lias re-ccived vcry littie attention fronuphysicians, and yet its study is flutrnerely of scientific value buit an im-portant source of practical informa-tion. To the layinan it offers manyfeatures of interest. As an extensivebrandi of the general history of cul-turc, it is indispensible to the historianof civilization. Its study peruîits thephilosopher ta sec the influence of hispredecessors upon mnedicine and thcinfluence of medicine on philosophy-a reciprocal interest which stili exists.For thc theologian thc history ofmedicine has a scientific value, foronce on a time theology and medicinewere intimately unitcd. Thc scien-tists will find an interest in tracing thcdevelopuient of thc variouis naturalsciences which began as off-shoots ofmedicine. Finally a knowledge of thchistory of medicine gives the man of

genuine education the best means of

estimating medical ability and activity.When we review the labor of thou-

sands of years and follow the advanceof our science in all its deviaus and

tedious ways; when we find how littie

service has been rendered ta the main

object of medicne-tie cure of dis-ease-we are likely to be disappointed.For in spite of ail therapeutics tiestatemnent of the Psalmist is stili true:"As for man his days are as grass; as

No. 2

a flower of the field so lie flourisieti.For thc wind passeti over it, and it isgone."

Bt if this dcpartinent of niedicalscience is well adapted to educate thcphysician in niodcsty, so also is it fit-ted ta inspire hini witli just pride inbis often-contested and self sacriflcinglabors. Tie history of inedicine ruayshow tic inadequacy of medicalknowledge and its helplessness instruggling against thc laws of nature,Lut it also brings to ligit thc un-wcaried struggles of physicians of ailages to investigate those laws andl toappropriate thc knowledge acquired tathc healing and blcssing of sufferinghumanity. XVe prize infinitely lessthe fact tiat history, anong alnîost ailpeople, presents thc imimortal gods asthe authors of niedical art tian that itteacies how mnortal men have strug-gicci continually aftcr go(l-like airns,-thc prevention, the cure, or at leastthc alleviation of the tlnavoi(lableheritage of woc and suffering impos-ed in s0 many ways uipon us as createfibeings-even thougi to-day tieseaimns have been imipcrfectly attained.The history of medicine shows hownlany noble men have served huinan-ity, devoting streng-tl andl life ta thesick, the feeble, tlic pcrsectited, thepoor, the insane, and have led theirfellow-men ta lofty ideals in thought

and action. Yet for miost of thesemnen one could but say that even hadtheir life been glorious it would havebeen but labor and sorrow.

Millions on millions of individualshave perished without contributing tothe progress of humanity; they haveno history. Thousands have promotedat least the foundations of knowledge;history records their names, for theylabored. But only a few chosen spiritshave perfornied the highest service al-lotted to muan. These summed up thepast and discovered new and greattruths, leadîng humanity onward. Tostudy their lives and work should givea more ideal direction to our concep-tion of our profession, showing usthat duties and rewards are not to befound exclusively in daily labor.

The purpose of fhis paper is todirect your attention to Aesculapius,whose followers we stili profess to, beeven though wc may know very littieabout hini.

A distinguished French historian(Littre) writes as follows: When on,ýsearches into the history of medicineand the commencement of~ the science,the first body of doctrine that onemeets with is the collection of writingsknown under the name of the worksof Hippocrates. The science mouintsup directly to that origin and therestops. Not that it had flot been culti-vated earlier, and had not given rise toeven numerous productions; buteverything that had been made beforethe physician of Cos bas perished. Wehave remaining of themn only scatteredand unconnected fragments. Theworks of Hippocrates have aloneescaped destruction; and by a singularcircumstance there exists a great gapafter them as well as before themn.tbe writings of Hippocrates remain

alone amongst the ruins of ancientmiedical literature."

Now H1ippocrates was born ini 460B.C., whereas Aesculapius is said tiuhave lived about 1250 B.C. It is not,therefore, surprising that the story ofAesculapius is interniixed with Gre2&<mythology, for a period of 800 yeaiselapsed between the timie of Aescula-pius and the first authéntic records.Our main sources of information arethe writings of Hesiod and Homer as-signed to the period 850 B.C. Pindarand others also relate somne of thclegends connected with Aesculapius.I-ippocrates wrote a treatise -OnAncient Medicine," but it contains noreference to Aesculapius. It dealswith the development and the princi-pies 'of the practice of medicine. H-eremarks with profound comprehen-sion and appreciation of the history ofmedicine, that: "The physician mustknow what bis predecessors haveknown, if he does not wish to deceiveboth himself and others."

In the Homeric poems Aesculapiusis flot a divinity but a humian being;the healing god is Apollo who was thephysician of the Olymnpian Gods,-thegod who visits men with plagues andepidemics, who wards off evil andaffords help to man. Pausanias says:"If Aesculapius is the air, indispens-able to the health of man and beast, yetApollo is the sun, and rightly so is hecalled the father of Aesculapius, forthe sun by bis yearly course makes theair wholesome."

Homer calîs Aesculapius the "blame-less physician," from which we mavinfer that even in those times therewere such individuals. The worshipof Aesculapius became established atleast 400 years after his death, andsoon after that of Homer.


hIe story of Aesculapius, whilevery interestiflg, is largel"y mlythologic-al. 1 have flot been able to find it con-sistently told by any writer so thatwhat 1 have selected to relate to you isquite open to criticism.

Coronis, daughiter of t>hlegyas, liv-ing iii T hessaly, near the lake tioe-beis, was beloved by Apollo iu thegodlike way of those early days,' an ihecanme pregnant by hlm i; uinfaithifilto the god, shie listenced to propositionsfrom Ischiys, an ordinary mnortal, andconsented to wed hlm. The infidelityof Coronis was observed by a crowwhich at that tinie had snowy p1uxiii-age. The bird offlciouisly rushed offand told Apollo who cuirsed it withisucli vigor that its feathiers tuirnieblack and have remained so to thisday. The change of the color of thecrow is noticed by Ovid and by Virgilin the Aeneid (vii, 761) thouigh thenaine "Corvo custode ejus" is thereprinted with a capital letter, as if itwere a man narned Corvus. Artemis,sister of Apollo, enraged at thewouinded dignity of lier brother,brouglit the affair to the notice ofZeus, who also was indignant at thesliglit thus put uipon an immortal, sohe

"Frorn Olympus topWith flaming thunderboît cast down

and slewLatona's well-loved child-such was

his ire."(Hesiod.)

While Coronis was being consumledby fire, Apollo, evidently disttîrbed atthe thought that his child should dielike this, clove asunder the devouringflames and catught up the babe bysome process of divinely operativeCaesarean section. This child wasAesculapias who, like other great

men, was begotten in concubinage al-dborni by Caesarean section. After-wards Apollo handed imii over toClieiron, who tatught imi how to cureail diseases. This story was înodifiedby the priests at Epidauiros to theeffect that 'lie xvas boni ni thet usualinanner but abandonied 1w lis inother,wxho left hunii to (lie on Mtlit Tithi-itmi. Ilere the baht was nuirstd by agoat (perhaps the earlitst txaml)le oftht artificial feedinig of childrtnl) an(l

Pindar tells thte story of his instruc-tion in the art of nmedicine:"The resciied child lie gave to shareMagnesian Centauir's fostering care:And learn of hini tht soothing artThat wards frorn ian diseases' clart.0f those whom natuire mnade to feelCorroding uilcers gnaw their frame;Or stanes far hurled or glittering steel,Ail to the greýat physician came.By suimmer's hieat or winter's coldOppressed, of blim tbey sougýht relief.Each deadly pang bis skill controlled,And found a balm for every grief.On some the force of charmed strains

Somne statuies of tie god represent-ing imi withotit a beard were in exist-ence even in the carliest times, it beingthtliht by sonie critics tliat the son ofa smiooth faced god sliotuld not have abeard. The (;reeks jokingly calledhirn "the bearded soni of a beardlesssire." Evidentlv this was made inRoman timnes, and the figure is cer-tainly very like a Roman emperor.This statule is lu the Vfatican.

An interesting series of votive tab-lets discovered at the temple of Aesciî-lapins, on the south side of the Acro-polis at Athens, shows the characterof the -god and his worship. One ofthese, made in the best Greek times,and tinder good artistie influences, butby inferior artists, perhaps of a gradeflot mtuch different from otur grave-stone cutters, represents Aescillapiu sseated tipon his throne, withi bisdauighter Hygeia beside him. Beforehlm is the sacrificial table, and to himnthe suppliants bring their offerings.The goddess quiality of Hygela is iu-dicated by ber height as comparelwith the mnortals hefore ber. The faceof the god cannot be seen, but inthe complete figure the head is in-clined and he looks at the suppliantsbefore him with calmness and interest.ITe seems confident, god-like and com-passionate.

Of tlue varionls centres at which theworship of Aescullapiuis was carriedon Epidauiros was the oldest and miostcelebrated. It is referred to by Plato

and descrihed by Pausanias; s0 ittrust have been iu existence five hun-(lred years before Christ. In laterGreek times it fell into decay but wasrestored hy Antoninus in the secondcentuiry A.D. Varionls descriptions ofthe ruins have heen made during thelast century and a haîf, but not tiliverv recently (20 years ago) was anysystematie attempt made to sttudvthem. In 1895 an elaborate work inFrench (Defrasse and Lechat) waspuhlished containing a description ofthe ruins and a restoration of the tem-ple hased on these mnanv years' stuidy.The historical value of this restorationis considerable.

Epidauros lies in the south-easternpart of Greece in Argos, about threemiles from the coast, and separatedfront Athens by the bay of Aegina.The valley is warmr, rather low andniot well stipplie(l withi water-notvery well sitiuated for a health resort.Yet it remained for six huindred yearsthe m-ost famouis of the temples of thegod. The sacred grove was called the.Heiron. In it were the temple; theTholos, or rotuinda; ani the Abaton,or dormitory. Otutside the grove wasa large theatre. The temple was builtabouit 375 B.C. on the site of an oldand inferior structure. Tt sotindsvery milch likçe a present day story toread of the building operations.

Iy a public and partly a private struc-ture like mnany of aur bospitals at thepresent tîmne.

The two cornices of the temple werefilled with scuilptuired figures; the westfront representeci the combat of theAmazons and the Greeks. At theapex xvas a winged Victory, and at thetwo angles, a neriad seated ulpon ahorse. These were probably coveredwith gold. While not equal to thesculptures of the Parthenon, they seemito have much delicacy and finish andmay be considered classical works.

In the temple was a statue of Aescul-laplus about one-haîf the size of thatof jove at Athens. It was of ivorvand gold and xvas the work of Thrasv-mecles. No trace of this statue hasbeen discovered, but there are copiesof it, and these show the type. Copiesare also fournd on coins. Associatedwith the statue are figures of the ser-pent and dog.

The Tholos contained the sacred wellof Aescullapiuis and was a finer build-ing than the temple. Tt was designedby Polycletes, who also hilt the thea-tre outside the grave. T-ie was regard-ed as the first artist of the fourth cen-tuiry 11C. Within it was fouind availlt wliich is suipposed to he the siteof the sacred well.

Besides the temple and tholos therewas a (lormitory for the pilgrims, call-ed the abaton. This was a gallerYwith a closed wall uipon one side andthe ends, with anl open space ulpon theother side, along which was a series ofcolumins, the open space facing thetemple. The dormitory was a sort ofportico, a loftv, airy sleeping chamnberopen on its souithern skie. Tt wasrcally verx' like a modern shelter bal-cony for treating tuberculosis. Thisprovision for abundance of fresh ai,

for the sick by day and night, which iss0 beneficial now, was undoubtedly sathen, and probabîy brought rnuchcredit to the god and his shrine. Itrnay be of interest to relate somte fur-ther particulars.

When the patient arrived he had aninterview with a priest or other officiaiand arranged about his accommoda-tion with olle of the Hieromnemonesor other secular person. Hie perform-ed certain rites, bathed in the sacredfounitain and then offerecl sacrifice un-der direction; the pour maxi gave biscake, the rich man bis sheep, pig orgoat. Where the cerernanial purifica-tion took place is uincertain. Over theentrance to the temple was inscribed,"Only pure souls may enter here."When night cornes the sick manbrings bis bedclothing into the abatonand reposes on bis pallet, putting somesrnall gift on the altar. The Nakoroicorne arouind to light the sacred lamps,and tbe priest then enters and recitesthe evening prayers to the god, en-treating divine 'help and divine en-lightenment for aIl the sick assembledthere. Fie then collects the gifts upontbe altar and departs. Later theNakoroi enter and put out the lights,enjoin silence and comrnand every -oneto faîl asleep and ta hope for gulidingvisions from the god. According toinscriptions the god frequently ap-peared ini persan or in visions, speak-

ing to patients concerning their ail-ments. These visitations may havebeen merely hallucinations or somepriest, in the dimi light, may have act-ed the part of Aesculapiuis. Whetlherthe patient was put ulnrder the influenceof sorne drug provocative of drearns,or whether by some acoustic trick thepriests caulsed the sick to hear spokenwords which they attribulted to thoDeity, it is difficult ta say.


The valley of the Heiron was thehabitat of a large yellow serpent, per-fectly barmless and susceptible ofdomestication. It bias been seen dur-ing the past century. A number 'ofthese dwelt in the sanctuiary, perbapsin the vatilts of the tholos. The sici:were (leliglitecl and encoturaged whenany of these creattures approachedthem and werc in t'le habit of feedingthemi witbi cakes. The serpents seemto have been trained to lick with theirforked tongic any ailing part. The(log was also trained to lick any in-jured or painfill part of the body.

In the Plutus, of Aristophanes, theblind Pluitus enters the abaton of theAsclepion at Athens in order to bectired. Aescuilapitis and bis dauigh-ters, Taso and Panaceja, appear in per-son; tbev whistle to tbe sacred ser-pents, wbicb at once approacb, lick theblind eyes and vision is restored.

On the walls of the eastern abatonwere fixed two large stone tablets,bearing the titie "Cures by Apollo andAescillapiins." Most of the fragmnentsof these tablets bave heen recovered,pieced together and decipbered. H-ereare a few extracts of interest:

Line 72 of 1 st tablet.-"A mnan who

bad onlv one eye is visited bv the godin tbe nigbt. T1ie god applies an

ointment to the empty orbit. Onawaking tbe man finds that lie bas twosotind eyes."

Line 125.-"Tysofl of Hermione isblind of hotb eves. A temple godlicks the organs'and be regains bissight."

Line 122.-"Heraeetir of Mytelenebas no bair on bis bead. H-e asks the

god to make it grow again. Asklepiosapplies an ointment and next rnorningthe haïr bas grown thickly over bis

scalp." Unfortunately the god di 1not write down the prescription.

Line 48 gives a story with a moralwhicb the priests no (loubt clesired toimpress uipon their visitors, "Pani-darus cornes all the wvay from Thes-saly to have a disfigturing eruption onbis forebead cured and bie is quicklymade well. Retturning to Thessalybis cure is observed by a neighboc,Echedoruis, who bas a similar butslighter eruiption on the face. He alsogoes to Heiron, carrying with Iiimi asuim of money sent to the god by thegrateful Pandartis. Ecliedortis decidesto keep the mioney. He consiilts thegod about bis own case and in answerto a question states that he brotight nogift from Pandaruis. On rising in themorning bie finds that instead of beingcured, thie disease of Pandaruis is add-ed to bis own."

Here is another that 1 am sure wasin a promninent place:

"Hermon of Thason, a blind man,was cuired by the god; but as bie wotuldnot pay the fee, hie was deprived of bissiglbt again. Appeased, however, hi'

bis prayers and penitence, the go<Icnnce more restored himn to sigbit."

"Kleniatas of Thebes was coveredwith lice. He slept in the dormitor 'vand clreamed tbat the god uindressefdbim, and making hiru stand beforebim, cleansed his 'body from verminby means of a broom. At daybreakbie went out cnired."

Line 96.-"A man froni Toronoeais 50 uinfortuinate as to have a step-mother wbo is not fond of him; sheptuts leeches in the wine hie 'drinks. Hf,swallows tbem. Aesculapitis cuts openthe cbest with a knife and rernoves thcleeches, sews tip the chest again an.1tbe patient returus homne next day."


Evidently -Aescuilapian" sectionwould be quite correct.

From other inscriptions we learithat Aesculapius treats dropsy heroic-ally ; lie cuits off the liatient's head,then holds imi UiP by the heels ; tliefluid ruins out. Fie then puts on theIlead again anci ail ends happily.

In later tinies superstition and dception liac a less share andl art :ilarger one in thc work (if hecaling. Wefind the priests prescribing manythings prudent and judiciouis; plainand simple dict, hot and cold baths,poultices, hiemlock juice, squills, liewater, and druigs for allaving pain arcail] mentioned. A\lanv benefited great1.ýby the rest, pure air, simple diet, flicsources of mental interest, the baths,the regullar exercise, massage andfriction, whiclî were ail in practicaloperation. As to the quotations fromthe tablets it must be remembered thatthe patients and not flic priests wereresponsible for most of these state-ments and that they do flot differmuch from mnany curious statementsm-acle by patients at the present day.

ALMA MATER IELECTIONS.I N another nionth the Aima Materelections will be upon us. Already

the 'wire puliers" are at work tri se-cure the nomiination for themselves ortheir friends; and already it is beingwhispered arouind the halls that the"Arts man" should be elected to theposition of I5resident this year. Iu-(leed we m-ay say that there seenis tobe some sinaii uieastire of justice inthis plea if the "rotary system" ofeiecting our flrst officer from each oft'le Faculties in turn is stili to be pur-siled. But shouild this system he pur-sue(I? CertainlY, if it is tlîe best; cer-tainlv not, if an}' iîiiprovenient eau beintroduced.

Everyone sees that tbe presentilietlîod of nouîinating the candiidatesis objectionable. For the last twoNýear-s the coutests have been iainilybetween the Arts stuldents and thecoiiibined streiugth of thie "Meds." andScience Hall. Tis made, or teudedt,) niake, a s'harp (divisioni letween thetwo bodies aud led to som-e friendly

"scrapping"-a thing, not so bad in it-self, but nevertbeiess a featuire we pre-fer ilut tu encourage~ betw een facultiesduring "election week." We aredivided enough now by classes, andcourses, and buildings, and we deem itunwise to indige in even a frolic thiatwould tend to create even a momen-tarv division hetween the Faculties inthe contests for office in the one so-cietv where we ail bave equal rightsand privileges.

This then is the danger. So longas these two Pacuilties stand united,none others need applv for office. Ofcourse we believe tliat even this unionwouild break up if an entirelv uinwor-thv man were brouelht out; but that isa mere supposition. At the criticalmioment, facts niiglil prove our jtudg-ment fauilty, an(l a verv incompetentman be placed in tbe Presî(lent's chair.You cannot tell what xviilie (loue iii

an election until it is (loue. But,ignoring this possibilitv, there yet re-mains the greater danger of uinde-sirable feeling hetween the Facuilties.No one, in any iPacuiltv, desires this; itattaches itself to our- present systeniwithout being souight: but its effectstire no more desirable on that accouint.We are ail on good ternus to ,day,; xveaIl feel thiat so far as thie A.M.S 'andthe 1Tniversitv are concernied we bavecommion amis andi nterests: ti1us far,the strife at the poils lias l)een soonforgotten and no seriotis hreach hasx'et heen made; and thiese thinigs mnakeils careless about the possibilities ofthe future.

may well be carefully considered bythose who have the interests of oldQtieen's at hearýt. Why should the"Years" supplant the Arts Society inthis faculty any more than they do theEngineering Society in Science or theAesculapian Society in Medicine? Wethink the "Years" have gained prom-inence at the expense of the more use-fi and dignified Arts Society. If the"fuinctions" of whic'h we are speakingwere controlled by this society, onesuch gatbering wouild take the placeof four as they are at present condiict-ed. This in itself wotuld be a step inthe rigbt direction. We do flot objectto the kind of entertainmient but to themultiplicity of these affairs.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We wish to eall the attention of ourreaders to the "leading article" of thisnumber. It is well worthy of carefulperuisal, and we are very gratefuil to"The Dean," flot only for permissionto publish this splendid address, butfor the cuits whicb he bas so kindlysupplied. Such subjects are fuîll ofinterest flot only to medical studentsbut to ail others of scholarly tastes,and we are pleased to learn thaýt theFaculty contemplate arranging for "ashort series of addresses uipon thevarious periods and personages con-nected with the history of medicine."

The October nurnber of the Queen'sQ uarterly lias reached us, and it iswell deserving of our highest com-miendation. The Quarterly 15 easilythe first magazine of its kind publisb-ed in Canada, and it is conducting asplendid campaign in favor of highereduication. The UniversitY reachesabout one thousand students annually,in the varlous departments, through

ber class work; but by means of theQ uarterly she now doubles that num-ber, beyond her walls, who come un-der the influence of lier tbought andinspiration. The subscription price,to students, has been raised f rom fiftycents to one dollar, but we tbink tbatthe improveci character of the maga-zine fuilly justifies the management inasking the students to pay tbe regularrate. No one, who really wants theQuarterly, and who appreciates theefforts of its self sacrificing promio.ters, will refuse to pay s0 small a pricefor suicb an excellent publication.

TUE FRESFlETTES,' RECEPTION.

'' F~AR ME !" said the Quieen'sL.Jbear, "here is October again.

The students see~m to, come back earl-ier every year. How glad I am to bea white bear, for were I one of myblack kinsmen I sbouild bave to peti-tion the senate to change the monthsof tbe session, and bold classes fromApril to October, else wbo shouild dothe bonours at the freshies' reception,and give the needful word of counselto the beedless freshette, to fix bersteps firnily in the patb wbicb leads toglory and honour at College,-to saynothing of degrees and medals, wbicblatter are not always to be blindly ac-cepted as a criterion, of tbe most trulvsuiccessfuil life here. There is nothingvery exciting about living in a mu-seulm ail summer, but bere in my soli-tude I bave plenty of time for maturereflection, and my experience adds soto my wisdom, that, in the time tocome I shall be quite indispensable tothe welfare of the Queen's girl, alto-gether apart fromn the question of tra-dition."

QUEEN'S UNI VERSIT17 JOURNAL.

And a few days later a mysteriousband sought out the bear, and carriedhim over in triuimph, to the girls' quar-ters. After that no more was seen orheard of him unýtil Friday evening,October the seventh, when the merrycrowd of freshetýtes gathered, eager tofathom the mnysteries of initiation.

After about haîf an hour, spent inbecoming acquainted with the girlsWho had been throuigh it ail before,the freshies were conducted'in detach-ments of five, to a room where theother girls and their ýguests were wait-ing to hear them swear fealty to the'bear. In the dim light of five grin-ning pumpkin-lanterns, rose up fivesheeted ghosts, and in front of themstood forth the bear in ail his awe-in-Spiring dignity. As the door openedto admit the youthful band, a ghostlyvoice gave the order, "Advance,-andkneel," and when the tremulous wor-shippers at the shrine of knowledgeb-ad obeyed, the voice continued,-"InSOlemrn convocation the girls ofQueen's are *here assembled, to wit-fless your most solem-n vows, oh vainfreshettes, delivered to the bear ofQueen's. You are no longer babes,to years of understanding have youcorne and wandered here in wild pur-suit of knowledge. Within theseclassic walls she ever dwells and bless-ings manifold doth shower uipon herhumble followers. 1 charge you nowto swear to hold ber honour dear, tolove and cherish -her, as long as 'neathber sheltering roof you dwell. Swear."Here the whole company of gllosts re-peated in wierd concert, "Swear,' andtheir leader went on, "Raise thy righthand and say, 'I will.' And now dothevery loyal girl of Queen's extend toYOU the hand of fellowsbip. Ariseand take your places with the rest."

When alI had been duly initiated,the lights were turned on again, andthe senior girls took. the freshies aspartuers, to engage in a guessing con-test, named, "A Planting Party."I3rains were busy for the next tenminutes, and great was the contro-versy as to the sort of vegetationwhich would resit from 'planting afortune-hunter or a dude, etc." In theformer case the general opinion seein-ed to be "Anemone," but the verdictwas given in favour 'of the shrewdlassie who struck the nail on the headby answering "Marigold." The nextcontest was of a different nature, eachcouple being required to, draw a pic-ture to illustrate a certain well,-knownsong.

We were now invited into anothereerie room, in one corner of whicli sata witch stirring fortunes in an ironcauîdron. Most of the guests tuukadvantage of the chance to have theirfortunes told, and merry was thelatîghter and talk which followed.Some of the futures predicted for usby the fortune-telling witch soundedas though she had had a peep behindthe scenes, and had unveiled the secrethope there hidden, the ambition forfame, the longing for a degree, for anoffice in the Levana, or perchance forthe position of convener of the pro-gramme committee for the freshies'reception. In other cases ber powerseemed to play her strange tricks, forhowever assuring such a predictionmight be to a girl in Senior French, itwas hardly so inspiring to a graduatein Modemns,Tho' your French may seem bard

work,If you neyer, neyer shirk,In the spring a prize you'll win,Tho' you may be rather thin.

The Levana Society lield its tirstillieetjn( of the session ou \\ edilesday,O-ct. l2th. 'l'lie distinictive feature ofthe mieeting xvas the IPresideit's ad-dress, wlîicî xvas indeed 'worthy of aworsliipper of the goddess, and weiidcscrving of mention iii the coiumansof our JOURNAL.

After cordially xveicoming the classof 'O8, Miss WXillialîîs mîade an appealfor the hiearty co-operation of ail thenîcînhbers in order tliat the soeietymiiglit tlîis ycar continue to enjoy andeven suippiemient the degree of pros-perity which it lias hitherto hiad, ai-dîniighit prove a source of profit andpicasure to eachi iinmber. It was in-teresting to hear how tlîis society likeour own nîiuchi-ioved Aia MNvater hiadstruggied to live. -As miost goodthinigs spring fromi sinall beginnings,so withi our Levana. About fourteenyears ago the dozeni or so Queen'sgirls deterîinied to baud together toforni a society having thu ec chief aimisin vicw, viz. :-to unite the lady stui-(lents iii a dloser bond of union, to de-velop tlie literary, musical and debat-ing abilities of its miembers, and to fittheîii to take, on leaving College, theirplaces iii the larger society of the otnt-

side worid with dignity tu Ilieiisehes,ïnd credit to their Aima M\ater.

To trace the progi-ess of tliis Societýfroin year to year, to tell of its temipo-rary fail, disappearance, aîîd ulimaterevival, to rehiearse the nianv difficiul-tics encotintered cvery year, to re-couint the Opposition miet withi in thieirefforts to raise liioîicy to furtiier thecirscliemcs xvould take miore tine thanxvc have at our disposal. But to evcryloyal Qien'is girl, thc story of thestruggles of these Levaîia pioneers, oftlieir tultimate suiccess and victory is ofvital intercst and stirs upl every par-ticle of College sentimcnt iii our velus,i inui the saine way perhaps as the

history of Caniada's eariy achieve-ments arouses the patriotismi of everytruîe Canadian."

The President then went on to coin-pare the society as it stands to-daywith its eariy condition. 1It is niar-veilotus," she coîutinued, "to note thecontrast. XVe have gained victoryaftcr victoryx, hiave chaiiged diitu attieregions for ncxv, more comînodjouisqtuartcrs, have a(lded to our littie storeof treastires in innumierable ways ; butahl the timie the saine loyal, brave, per-sistent spirit nirged lis on as stirred thuehiearts of those early worshippers atthe Levana shrine. Whiic procuringmiore luxurions quarters we have triedever to keep our highi ideais before uis-to aim at the developmrent of ail thatis highiest, noblest and best within us."'

Finally she spoke of the work theSociety liad donc, and of its proposedwork for this session. "We meet toassist on1e another in cvery way, to

Perliaps this is a ebaracteristic ofthe age, seen everywhere in palitical,social and industrial life. The work-mani turns fram one machine ta an-other; excels in none, but does bathor ail equally well. The politicianwho is Minister of Railways ta-day ischairman of a Railway Commissionto-mnorrow, ar salicitar for a corpora-tion soan after. In days gone by menwere enslaved ta the caste systeni, it istrue, and were compelled ta do the>same work as their ancestars; but itmust be acknowledged that much of itwas superiar wark. Ruskin, whenexpressing his ideas about these tbingsin bis work "On Geneva," cantrastsformer times with aur awn; and, itmust be confessed, in his view ta thedetriment of the latter. In the storesat Geneva then, noa hurry; no ostenta-tion; no crowding; no excitement-but quietly you received what yau de-sired and got full value for yaurmnoney. To-day, how different! Mendo more than their fathers; and yet,in some respects, flot s0 well. In thematter of studying it seemns that theaverage student attempts toa manysubjects ta do them ail weli. Alack-a-day! 1 t is flot the fauit of the stu-dent, but of those who frame thecourse of study.

1-owever, most Arts students willwant ta know what this is ail aboutanyway. Why should their peace fuidrearns of a joliy season 'be disturbedby such pessimism? It is very earlyin the session as yet, and a long, longroad must ýbe traversed before wecame ta the fart which must be takenby starm in the spring. Sa, while wemay, let us induilge in ail the fun go-

ing; for .to-marrow we-write on ex-aminations."Alas! wby shouid we know aur fate,Since sorrow nleyer carnes too late,And happiness too quickly flies?Thought would destroy aur paradise!Na more-where ignorance is bliss*Tis folly ta be wise."

The year '05, Arts and Science, basbeen divided because the constitutionof the Arts Society stands in the wayof the two bodies cantinuing as aneclass fur tîxeir final year. It was witlimuttuai feelings of regret that the billof dîvorcement was passed. Nothingbut the best of gaod feeling hias bcendisplayed in the year meetings be-tween the members from these twafaculties; and it was, therefore, withdisappointment that many heard thereport of the Cammittee that it wasimpassible ta continue the union. Asthe separation was unavoidable snchchanges as were necessary were madein the constitution ; and eacli branchwas left ta w*ork out its own destiny.The desire was expressed that theyshould reunite for the final year "AtHome," which will take place sanietime in Decemýber.

At the Arts and Science Y.M.C.A.meeting on Friday, Oct. 21, Mr. J. A.Donneil gave an instructive talk on"The Christian Ideal in Sport." Judg-ing from the remarks one heard aboutthe halls afterwards, the speaker hadtauched a responsive chord in thehearts af the men present, Lt was amanly presentation of ane very im-partant side of a complete life. Amatigother things, the speaker criticized thesemi-prafessionalismn that has assumed50 large a place in callege in theUnited States, and which is making


too mucli lieadway ni tiie Caliadialicentres aI learnîng. Lie said tilatwlien a stucdent iflterests unuiiseit nisport at college only su lar as to go toa mateni ta see otuers play and to bet1irilled by tme excitemient enigenderedtilere, tiien tmat inian is, ni spirit, a professional. it is a legenerate spirit;and onie tMat is akmn to tuec motivestnat impelleci ±•.om1e ni lier dlecadenceto go to tue kLolosseuîni ni ttirofigs towatcli gladiators contend in deadlycombat.

The truc ideal in sport, the speakerclaimied, was ta play the gaine one'sself, ln flritain they have a betterconception of sport than we 'have here,because more enter personally into thegame. It is claimed that at some ofthe matches between the Universitiesof Oxford and Canmbridge that thenumber of spectatars is flot great as soniany of the men prefer ta have agame themnselves than ta stand by andcheer their companions to victory.

Now, this is ail very well in a way;but the point miust flot be overlookedthat thiese intercollegiate matches aremeant to serve miore ends than anc. Acollege without a college spirit is apoar affair; and sport certainly is aneof the means by which this spirit maybe fostered. The men who contendoni thie campus in a game of rugby re-present fairly well the student-body;for they have been chosen from alarge numrber of aspirants to whom noafavour of any kind has been shawn.They are the best men wham the cal-lege can put on the field, and haveshawn their right ta be there by manya bard practice. If these men did flotbelang ta the college of course itWauld be a different mnatter. Werather think the Oxonians exhibit a

poor spirit whien it apparently iiiakesno difference ta themn who wilns. Ifthat be the case, why play initer-col-legiate gaines at al? (if course thisdoes flot detract froîn the fact thiateachi student should take a personalinterest in a gaie of somne kind.

The speaker went on ta reînark thatanc should play the gamne for itself,rather thani for thc victory. Thiere isevery bit as miucli enjoynient andenergy ta be gained in a well-contest-cd game when anc loses as weil aswhen anc wins. Thc main purpose ista play the gaine like a gentleman; tatake victary Nvithout uindue jubilation,and defeat without complaint. 1lchoped that the students would cheer agaod play of the eneniy as wèll as yelltheniselves lioarse for their own menin the gaine xvîth McGill an the nextaftcrnaan. The applause that follow-cd this statement secîned ta indicatethat the audience caincided wîth thisview.

Wc da flot suppose that the leaderaf the meeting wishced ta eliminate thefactar af victary from the gamne bythesc remarks; but yet lie deprecatedthe playing of matches simrply ta win.Nevertheless, this will always reinainthe strangest motive for playing Rug-by, as well as the greatest incentive iiithe Game of Life. The speaker con-cludcd wîth a short poemi dcscribing acamman episode in the British Enm-pire. The scene was a burning descrtof the East; a regiment of British sol-diers battled against overwlhclmingodds. Men fell thickly; the Colonel-the Captain-were killed; but thenat this juncture, as all scemed lost, inthe interval between the rattie af themusketry and the crash of the cannon,a young vaice shouted: "Play up!

T HE year '05 did itself justice, andincidentaîîy revived an olcI andl

time-honored cuistom, bv holding thequondam annual medical "At Homne"Friday evening, Oct. 2lst. Brilliantwas the spectacle and inspiring theconversation whiclb flowed from thelips of the grave and migehty seniorswho were gathiere(î there. - Indeed amore illustrions assembly could scarcebe brought together, for had they notin their conipany the silver-tonglie(orator and gilt-edged politician, Mr.Avery; the world-renowned athieteand Graeco--Roman wrestler, SandowMcIV---n; the wonderful sulper-developed "Microbe"; the famedOs-r (who has lately escaped fromdurance vile) ; the Signori Paderew-

,t ski Gordon and Jokerviskî (late ofg Weber and Fieid's)-.besides a scorehi or so of others whose names need onlyn to be ' uentioned in order to attract,

1 one mighit say, universal attention ande excite uinîversal envy of their powers.t For there was Muigsey (said to, be the

only true and original fat boy of Pick-wickian fame-aIl others being imita-

r tions) ; Ga-d-t, whose winningsm-ile and persuasive tongue need onlyto be spoken of to be rem-embered. the

At 9 p.m. the comipany was uisberedinto the dining-room of the popularIroquois and there treated to a gener-ous feasýt of ostreae. After their epi-curean repast and the floor cleared animpromptu dance was gotten up-forTansy's benefit-he 'having displayeda great agility of both tongue and limb-but was mucli enjoyed by ail par-ticipating. Then the post-prandial"coffee" and cold tea, nicely flankedwith cigars, were brouiglt in. Oldfriendsîi1 s were renewed, old pledgesrevived, new friendships fornied, newpledges taken.


The programme, after a few intro-ductory remarks by Pres. Lockie, wasopened by an illuistrated lecture byJan. the hammer-thrower, entitled*'The Ethical Features of the Hippo-crýatic Method in its Relation to, HomeRufle for Ireland." After discussingthe "pros. and cons." of the case (flotjack Sp-rks') hie concluded by say-ing that the actions of H-nig-n wereflot justified, that in Ibis (the speak-er's) opinion, we were flot wise in in-terfering witlî the course of Nature-and sat down amid great applatise.

Next came musical seleetions byjack Sp-rks, including a medley ofwaltzes, two-steps, etc. He also sang"I Want to Be a Military Man," 'midthunderings from the gallery.

Some light refresbments were nowindulged i, and during the intervalthe renowned Bolivar, the nimble-fingered piano-thrasher of "ParqueVictoria" fame, tore off a f ew.

At this jinctture some toasts wereproposed-To lis Majesty, by Pres.Lockie; The President-Elect, by R.W. Halladay; The Defeated Candi-date, by C. W. Wagar; Tbe Ladies,by E. A. Gauidette; The Medical Pro-fession, by J. Hogan; The Host andHostess, by R. W. Tenant. To ail oftbese suitable replies were made-thehost answering for himself by still an-other trait of bis ahl-rouind good-heartedness and hospitality by givinghis guests an excellent exhibition ofstep-dancing. lie was cheered to theecho, sbowing that be hiad stili nmoreendeared bimseif to 'the bearts of flicstudents of Queen's.

Some more dancing was now in-dulged in-also songs, impromptuspeeches, etc., finally ending witlh"For He's a Jýolly Good Fellow" and"God Save the King."

Altogether it was a very pleasantaffair, dernonstrating to the "knock-ers" that an "At Home" within limitsis unparalleled as a mneans of bringingthe fellows together and rnaking ofacquaintances friencîs, and of friends,comrades.Here's to naught\ -five! Drinkl lier

-Iaving in mmid the înany deeds ovalor that have been performed by representatives of our "Aimia Mater" ii'lavs gone by, and tlie strictly amiateuispirit that lias always prevailed therein, we (leen it advisable to urge thaiiii this gaine the spirit of amnateurisn-be nmaintaine1. Anticipating that thihwill Le conceded by tlie representa-tives of Toronto University, we arcoblige(I to take excep)tion to the play-ing of the nman referred to in exhibitV of the Challenge. It appears thatthe player therein mentioned is pos-sessed of certain bleniishes whichwould place him in the ranks of pro-fessionalîsnî. lurthermiore, it wouldbe, we feel, inadvisable to expose ourstalwarts to flic pernicious influence ofofle who associates with spirits of an-other world and who causes the pros-tration of media.

Furthermore, in exhibit XIII of theaforenientioned challenge, reference isîîîade to a grand stand. In the inter-est of gentlenianly sport, we areobliged to request that a grand standbe not built, or if o11e Le already uiponthe ground, that it be rernoved. Thismutst appeal to the fairmindedness ofoiîr worthy challengers, Who wouldwish to play the gamne in ail honor.Our heavy hitters could flot but faîlclown uinder the dazzling influence ofthe harem of H. G. Barber, Esquire,who would miost assuredly monopolizethe said grand stand.

Fuirthermore, lie it guaranteed thatGeorge Macmillan do not talk aloucl;or if he must, to say nothing strongerthan "Sam 11il1."

No "foreigners" shaîl play in thisgaie. Tiierefore we mutst object tothe appearance of Brown and Greenuipon the field, who are not "Whiteand BlIne."

f Furthermore, be it conceded that-the sole qualification for any partici-1pant in this ganie shahl be the mur-

r niuring of the honied accents that faîlfromi the lips of John joseph McGee,

A party of mining students accom-panied by Professors Gwillim, S. F.Kirkpatrick, M.

Then theydrove out to the Craig gold mine,seven miles fromn Bannockburn, where

they sat downi to an excellent dinner.

A revolver and a fox played a prom-

The offi-ciais, Toronto men, thougli impartialenotigh, seemed imbued with the spiritof the Burnside rtiies and were muchmore severe on holding by the wingsthan the Intercollegiate ideai calis for.Queen's, being strongest in ber wingline, suffered most from the decisions.

On the kick-off MeGili startedthings with a rush and before Quieen 'sreaiized what was happening, Mal-colmn sectired the bail from a scrim-mage in Quleen's territorv and with abrilliant rm got over for a try, whichwas not converted. Queen's bracedtup after this and ber forward lineshowed uip well and were only pre-vented from scoring by the good workof the McGiIi halves. At Iast Wil-liams kicked over the goal line andWalsh, following uip quiickly, feil onthe hall for a try, which Williams con-verted, puitting Ouieen's one point inthe lead. MeGili worked desperatelyand after a long kick over Quleen 'slune, Macdonnell was forced to ronge.No farther scoring toovk place but thehalf ended with the ball in McGill ter-ritorv and the score 6-6. In this haîfMcPhee was; injitired and was replacedin the scrimmage by Yoting.

In the second haîf the zamne wasvery even, the bail passing from endto end in exciting plays. Kennedy wassent to decorate the side uine for twominutes, and iu his absence McGillforced the plav and on a long kickover her goal-uine compeiled Qtieen'sto rouge again, making the score 7-6.

.Roth sides now worked witîî des-peration for time was short and vic-

McGili gamne, tlie second teami mettheir old rivais, the Cadets, on theAthletic field, in the first game of therouind. Queen's team, like the seniors,displayed iack of condition and Jacko. tearn-work; in(lee(l, tliey lla( hadonly one team practice hefore thegame. On the other hand, as was tol)e expected, the Cadets were in thepink of condition and showed thehenefits of severai weeks' practice.They had goodcnhnaonpastheir haives cauight and kicked weii,and their forwards foliowed uip fast.Queen's was heavier on the une, butber back division, thouglh good puint-ers, were not so sure as their oppon-ents. At ail stazes of the first haifthe play was Qticen's, but in the


second half condition told aîîd theCadets, fresh to the end, hiad bier onthe defensive.

The referee apparently tried to beimipartial, but scveral of bis decisionswere luidicrouisi> wrong and both sidesfeit the drawback of playing underofficiais uinacquainted with the rules.

Queen's had both the wind and theSun against lier iii the first half, butbier beavy wing line carried the balinto Cadet territory and Strachiankicked over tbe line, forcing Nord-beinier to rouge. The Cadets tbentook a band in tbe ganie and play wentto Queen's 15-yard line, wbere Con-stantine put a nice drop between eposts. Score, 1-5. Tbis braced Queen'sup and hier meii forced the play downtue field, aîîd, belped by a Cadet film-hie, Clarke succeeded in mnaking a try,wbicb, however, was flot converted.Sbortly afterwards Queeni's forcedanotber rouge.

'l'le play was veryexcîting; botlî sides played well, butthe Cadets forced the ball into Queen'sground. Constantine failed to drop agoal but before M\alcolnm couîid clearhie was downed. No morýe scoring re-

sulted and the whistle blew with tbegame a tie, 13-13.

Apparently Qtleen's had the nia-terial in hier men and only needed afew more practices to bring it out, butfor the time being the Cadets had thegoods to deliver up to the last cal].

Tbe teams iined up as follows:Queen 's - Full-back, Malcolm;

Ille first gamnes of the Tultercol-legiate Leagule were iooked forwardto with especial interest on accouint 6fthe new teln-vard rulle, wbich hassbown uip weil in the trial. The Ruirn-side miles eut ont the old scrinimage.and, as teanîs learn the tricks of tue

g-allie, give opportunities for mass-

piaYs. Tt xvas objected to the oldriles that tbe licavier team might keepthe bail in scrimrnage the wbole tinie


and so spoil the game from the spec-tators point of view. This is impos-sible with the new rules. The scrim-mage is stili kept and the heavy wingline is stili the same and yet the playis most open. The games have beenexciting contests, with any amount ofkicking and running f rom start tofinish, and with flot a duil moment totire the onlooker. The IntercollegiateLeague seems to have comhined thebest features of ail the leagues and hasformulated a set of rules wl-ich othersmight well copy.

QUEEN'S 13, McGILL 6.On October 22nd, at the Athietie

Grouinds, Queen's brotught McGill'srun of victory to an abrupt close tothe merry tune of 13-6, practically re-versing the resuilt of the previotisweek. A win for McGill, withoutquestion, meant the championship andconsequently couldn't be consideredfor a moment, as Queen's later meanto have something to say in that con-nection. Just where Queen's superi-ority consisted wouild be bard to tell.Th wing uines were evenly matched.McGill's scrimmage was perhaps thebetter, her haîf hune was strong, whileHamilton at full-back played a stargame. And yet at critical momentsQueen's showed up in grand style,notably at one point in the second haifwhere McGill had the hall on Queen'sgoal line, and yet, paw mud as shemight, êouldn't make good for thetry. Queen's forwards put Up astrong game and her back division,though young at the game, showed themarkings of championship..îeaders,making many brilliant plays.

The weather was unsettled but agood crowd was on hand and the stu-dents thronged the bleachers to cheertheir men on. A strong south-west

win(l blew down the field, but didn'tseem to trouble Quleen's in the secondhalf.

Qtueen's kjcked with the wind thefirst haif and after some fluctuatingplays worke1 into McGill's territory,where Williams put a beautiful dropbetween the posts, and the bleacherseuit baose with the old slogan. Thisbraced McGill uip, for they brokedown the field for several gains, andat hast on a fumble by Queen's, drib-bled over the line where Hlamilton felIon the hall, tying the score. ThenQuieen's began again, gaining grouîîcltubl Williamis kickeb over for a rouge.A little later lie added -another tallywithi a touch in goal, miaking the score7-5, where it stayed till the haîf ended.

In the second haîf in spite of thefavoring wind McGill faibed to takethe lead. The play went back andforth, both back divisions makingquick, exciting plays. At bengthQtueen's gave way and McGilb won arouge. Again McGilb brought thebaIl to the goal-uine, and the blue ofthe tri-color predominated over thefield. But Qtieen's won the hall andWibliams kicked into safety and thespectators' hearts assunied their nor-mal position. Froni that on it was ailQueen's. Walsh got within a few feetof McGill's line and froini the scrim-mage Carson xvas shoved over for atry. It was up to the boys to make anoise andl they did it. A little laterWilliams punted over the hune for an-other point, which ended the scoringand time was called with Queen 's vic-tors by 13-6.

The teams were:Quleen's - 1IEtill-back, Macdonnell;

halves, Walsh, Williams, Richardson;quarter, Carson; serinimage, Thomp-son, Donovan, Gihlies; wings, Camier-


on, Kennedy, llaillie, l'atterson (Cap-tain), Dobbs, Britton.

QUEEN'S 1i-11, CADETS 1-33.

Queen's Intermediates went down

before the Cadets in the second game

of the round by 33-11. Some changeshad been made in the line-up and with

the additional practices chances look-

ed brîgbt but failed to. materialize.

Though always beaten of late years,

the Cadets have kept uip the fight well

and deserve their reward, while

Q ueen's Indians put away their war

paint tili another season.A high wind blew dead down the

field, against which it was impossible

to kick; consequently each side s scor-

ing was confined to one haîf. In the

first baif Queen's had the wind but

failed to kick enough and only worked

up eleven points. The hirst score

came with a splendid drop-kick by

Gleeson over the goal. The play con-

tinued in Cadet territory, and Queen's

by kicking got four rouges and ended

their scoring by shoving their oppon-

ents back for a safety-touch.

The Cadets then by good work

rushed the hall up to Queen s line

where the play was bot for a time.

Finally, thoughi time was up, the

Cadets scored a safety-tolch which

was allowed as the referee badn't

blown bis wbistle and the baîf ended

with the score 11-2.In the second hiaîf Queen's didn't

have a look-in. The referee penalized

her scrimmaging f reely and ber halves

could do nothing against the wind.The Cadets were as fresh as at the be-ginning and their defenýce got in somesplendid running and passing. Time

after tune they broke arotind the end

and over the line for a try, and theirscore rose steadily, hielped ýby severalkicks over the dead-line. Their last

try was scored on a sensational run byPowell fromn his 25-yard line. The

Cadets won their victory by being a

well-trained, well-conditioned team,

such as it is impossible for Queen's to

produce with her late college-opening.The teams were as follows :

Q ueen's - Full-back, Fee; halves,Sutherland, Gleeson, Strachan; quar-ter, Reid; serimmage, Malloch, Tem-pleton, May; wings, Sloan,; Rice,

Spankie, McLellan, Timm, Clarke.

R.M.C. - Full-back, Nordheimer;

halves, Powell, Constantine, Harring-

ton; quarter, Lawson; serimmage,

Agnew, Scott, Matheson; wings,Ross, Currie, Coristine, Warren, Pare,Armstrong.

It was expected that the "rooting"

at the Queen's-McGill game here

would be organized but in spite of the

request of the A.M.S., the Musical

Clubs, as usuial, in such cases, failedto show up to advantage. Two or

three practices, well advertised, wouldmake a vast difference in the cheering

and the consequent encouragement of

the team. It devolves on every stu-

dent to see what he can do both before

and at the Queen's-Toronto gamehere on Nov. l2tb.

Owing to the continued rain the

Tennis Tournament has not yet been

comnpleted and we will bc unable to

give the results till our next number.

T HE question of rooting at foot-ball matches is one which seerns

to be troubling several of our contem-puraries this month. The 'Bulletin-and the 'Daily C-rimison" of Harvardhave taken a stand against the custom,claiming that the artificial enthusiasmaroused lias a harmnful effect on theplayers. It is quite evident, we think,that the Harvard editors have neyerplayed on a football team, or at leasthave neyer played in a game in whichthe issue seemned at all doubtful. Onlythose who have experienced it catirealize the vigor and snap given to ateamn by well-organized rooting in itsfavor, especially when a teami happensto be losing ground. This is one ofthe chief advantages which a team basin playing on its home field. It ishardly fair for several hundred stul-dents to remain silent on the bleachers,and to leave to the fourteen bard-worked ones on the field the wholetask of tupholding the honor of theirAima Mater, when by a little sacrifice,


and a littie time spent by each in or-

ganization, they could hielp materiallyin flic winning of every gaine playedat homne. Lut there is a sort of root-ing which is at least useless, if ilot

positively harmful. It is that sort

which encourages a team while it is

winning and hisses it whien it is being

'beaten. And it is that other sort

which cails upon players to remienber

and pay with interest every instanceof -dirty play' on thic part of flhe op-

posing team. Such rooting as this, we

agree, should be abolished immedi-ately.

VOL. XXXII. NOVEMBER l6th, 1904.

PROF. MACNAUGHTON'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.*

A FTER a year's absence I arn gladta, find myself back in Queen 's

once more. Especially at a moment

so characteristic of the best life and

quality of the place as this is , the first

evening meeting of the Canference of

T'heological Alumni, for the year, and

the dedication of this Hall raised by

the astonishing initiative, and largely

by the generous liberality of the un-

dergraduates to perpetuiate the name

that means s0 much ta, us, and Can-

ada, of George Munro Grant.

Nat that 1 found McGill unconge-

niai. Closer acquaintance with that

institution has greatly added ta my re-

spect for it. Although, thanks mainly

to their princely patron, Sir William

Macdonald, they are comparatively

f ree from aur great difflculty, the want

of money, they are working there un-

der very serious difficulties of their

own, a depressing unsympathetic plu-

tocratic atîjiosphere, a smnall popula-

tion of English-speaking Protestants

amid an overwhelrfing majority of

Frenchi Catholics ta draw their stu-

dents f rom, and a school system which

though rapidly improving under their

influence is still perhaps even less pro-

pitiaus for the welfare of a University

than the schaol system- of Ontario it-

self. And they are doing splen(li(

work. Everyone knows the high

place they hold in mnedicine and ap-

plied science. Their School of Engi-

neering attracts students fromn ail

quarters, quite a mnmber from the

British Isies. 1 suppose no Canadian

University is nearly so widely known

there as MeGili. But what is not gen-

erally appreciated in Ontario and

what we here would do well ta note

and look ta aur laurels, is the' extraor-

dinary energy and success with which

Principal Peterson has raised their

Faculty of Arts f rom what ulsed to be

its comparatively low estate, ta a point

of equipmeflt andl efficiency quite

equal on the whole in rny opinion ta

anything in Canada. I found in Mc-

Gi a cathalîcity of tone, a freedomn

f rain parochialisrn, and aCa(lCmical in-

breeding, which renminded me of

Queen's. Aithougli the dominant note

af the place lbas hitherto been rather

scientiflc and practical, I founid a most

refreshingi y hearty recognition among

mny colleagues, nat least amiong the

nien of science pure and applie(l of the

dlaims of literature, and on the whole

a very encauraging receptiveness in

i-ny pupils af mny ow n attempts ta illus-

trate and incuilcate these. Altogether

iny year's work there was certailY a

very pleasant and stimullating experi-

ence, and 1 should 1)e tingrateful in-

deed if 1 did flot always remember

QUEEN'SUNIVER.SITYI, JOURNAL

No. 3


with feelings of thec warmest apprecia-tion and admiration the illustrious in-stitution which I have just had for thisbrief time the honour to serve.

While I was there you may be sure1 nýeyer missed a chance of imlpressingupon the generous minds of my col-leagues and others, sorne sense of thepeculiar and unique service whichQueen's is doing for tlie country.Similarly I sbould like here in Kings-ton to do ail I can to promote a betterunderstanding with McGill. Theywill meet us quite haif way. Theyhave the sense to respect uls there.Q ueen's bas no more acuite observer,and therefore no warmier admirer irtCanada than Principal Peterson. Atthe banquet given last year on the oc-casion of Dr. Gordon's installation hewas the only one of ail the speakerswho had the wit to pick out for re-mark what was undoubtedly the oneovershadowing feature of that me-morable day's proceedings, and he didit in words most felicitous and heart-feit, the high note of generous appealstruck in the new Principal's address,the splendid response it elicited fromthe gallery, and in general the trulymagnificent behiaviouir of the students,both in what they did and what tbeyleft undone. When I was biddinghim a regretful farewell I spoke of thedesirableness of cultivating sympathe-tic relations between the two colleges.He heartily agreed, and expressed themost apreciative sense of a recent ser-vice done to McGill by Queen's in To-ronto. His very last words to me werea charge to convey to you the assur-ance of bis strong desire for the con-tinuance and increase of friendshipand alliance. I think he used, among

others, or at least homologated, theexpression that "Barkis was willin'."

I am confident that dloser co-opera-tion and greater frankness of mutualrecognition between the U-niversitieswoul(l be a decided gain for the highereduication and for the higher life ofour country. There bas been far toomuch of the more sordid "complete-tradesman" kind of competitionamong themn; far toc, milch inclinationon the part of each to regard itself asthe one aillsufficient "tbinking-shop ofsapient sotils," and aIl the others asmore or less irrelevant intruders on its-own divine right of 1-onopoiy. Theyare ail here to stay. It is a hopelessenterprise for any one of themn to tryand crowd out any other.- There isample room and verge enough, andwork enough for aIl of them. Bycombinîng 'their forces they wouidgain enormously in public respect, yesand in public support and in effectiveiluence. A state of things in whichi

J udah vexes Ephraim and vice versato the extent of their several ability isnot calculated to impress the generalbody of the surrouinding Philistines as.the German students caîl the outsideworld, wit'h any very high estimate ofthe liberalizing virtue of Academicalstudies. The miserable sectionalisman(l provincialism which is one greatcurse of Canada ouglit not to find it-self reflected or even, one might say,exaggerated like the Brocken-spectreon those serene. surnmits f rom *whichi part we have a right to look for its

cure. Some day perhaps we shail at-tain to a reallY organized system ofthe higiier education such as they. have,in Germany where ail the incrediblynüuneromis Universities of the wholecountry form ini a sense only one


single University; where an under-graduate mnay pass from one of themta another as frcely as from one class-room ta another witbin the walls ofthe same College; and may have althe terms lic has kept in one countedfor him as a full equivalent in anyother just as if he had kept themnthere. Meantime we may be doing ailwe can ta foster mutual understand-ing and recognition af that solidarîtyin the face of aur common problem,and the strong forces arrayed equallyagainst ail of us which sa completelyswallows up aur little superficial dif-ferences and rivairies. The Universi-ties are here rnainly ta supply the na-tion with more lighit. !\o doubt it isalso part af their business to providemnen equipped ta render ta the cam-mufnity particular services requiringspecial knowledge and technical train-ing. But their highest and mast char-acteristic, their indispensable function,is the general and wider oiîe, viz., ta,turn a ut mien 'of disciplined intellect

-Who have learned ta respect facts andta take sanie trouble to find them in anexact shape, who can laok at thingsf rom a large impersonal point of view,Who bave imbibed "in the quiet air ofdclightful studies" the love af truthand justice. That kind is scarce inCanada 'as elsewbere. It goeth notaùt save by fasting and prayer. Wecannoi.t haàve toa many of tbcm. Theriuiber "(if the institutions whicboutght ta, and do really tend ta, pro-duce thein daes not at ail excee(l theAeniand. The fact 'is the demand ista a large'extent created by the supply.For exatupie if the attempt ta concen-trate thec wbale University teaching ofthis Province in Toronto had succeed-ed, to reproduce for Ontario the

Standard Oil Trust iii Academicalguise, do yen suppose the number ofUniversity students in the Provincewonld be anything like so large 'as it

is? I question if the number in To-renta itself would be much greaterthan it is now. And even if it were,where would be thec gain for ber? Shebas already about as rnany as she cando justice ta. It looks wcll an paperta have a huge list of undergraduateson the college books. But in thesemnatters what really cotints is nat ex-tension but intensity. Tlhere needs' avery strang hcart ta puinîp a full flaadof lufe througb a very large body.Mucli better ta deepen the influeniceexerted upon a smaller number thansprcad out thinly a limitcd quantum aispirituial force by sprawling' over anindefinitely extendeci superficial area.Besides thic country is enricbcd and

stimulated by passessing a variety ofUniversity types, none af thcm laimi-ing exclusive justification, each ofthem content to live along witb and besupplemented by the others.

Sncb a well-marked type with anindefoasible raison d'être of its, own is1 think Queen's. I was very nîncb in-terestcd ta notice that Dr. Reichel,Who came ta Canada a year. ago as 'amenmber of the Mosely Commission,seemis ta have l)een mare especiallyinipresse(l with juist the twa 'CanadianUniversities which persanaîl) 1 havethe mast reason ta lave, the one I liaýcrjust lcft and the anc ta which 1 havereturned. Wbat struck buii, 'an( it

struck hini very bard, about McGill,was the obvions suiccess. with wbichsbe had takeii bold, andi asserted lier-self as a po~wer iii the practical sphereof the canntry's life. Coming f rôiOxford, that home~ of the etnêhant--


ments of old time, characterized by asomewbat Olympian aloofness fromnthe more obvions currents of nationalactivity and gloryîng somewliat super-ciliously at times in her devotion tothe absolutely useless, it was a revela-tion to him of Academic possibilitiesundreamt of before, to find a Univers-ity so thoroughly established as a fac-tor in the ordinary commercial busi-ness of the man in the street, that thevery bankers and railway magnateswere seriouisly talking of institutingthere departments of their own. InQueen's again he recognized the vig-orous sapling of a noble stem, the con-tinued life under these new skies ofthe best Scottish University traditions.He was quite right. Quleen's bas oflate made extensive new departures,in the way of relating berself to na-tional industries. She bas entered onquite a considerable scale into thework of training engineers and min-ers. She bas also justified bier enter-prise in this line by decided success init. Her sehool of applied science isincreasing in numbers and efficiencyevery year and has already attaincd toproportions more than respectable.But, -gentlemen, I arn sure that eventhe mining-engineers among you willat least bear with me when 1 say thatthe distinctive thing about lier, and itis a good thing for you among others,that it should be so, the distinctivething about ber among the Universi-tie5 of this country is still what it al-ways bas been, and wbat I hope it willalways be, ber steadfast maintenanceand upholding amid all modern devel-opments of the old Scottish ideal ofan ail-round liberal culture in whichLiterature, Science and Philosoplîvare barmoniotisly comnbined, and in

which the full-orbed glory of the comn-plete University type is still exbibitedby the retention of the Faculty of The-ology as an integral part of the Insti-tution. For my part I think we haveno reason to regret the unexpectedturm of events which bas kept tbingsso. Of course we are now again liableto the reproacli of being a denomina-tional college. I do not tbink tbatwill 'hurt us. It is a mere briitum fui-v/ien. We are no more denomination-al than the Scottish Universities, flotso mutch so indeed. Other denomina-tions show no shyness about availingthemnselves of the lacilities which weoffer. The Church with which wehave the honour to be directly associa-ted, which bas assumed by solidpledges a very real working responsi-bility for our financial well-being,soon I hope to materialize in actualcoin of the realm, the PresbyterianChuirchi, is in general tbe least sectarianof denominations, tbe one wbicb ispursuing ber high fonctions in theMost universal and truly nationalspirit, and in particular she sbows notthe slighitest inclination to impose anyparalyzing restrictions uipon our per-fect freedomn to conduct the entirerange'of our affairs even in our Theo-logical Faculty with a single eye to thefuirtherance of eduication and science.And even if we do lose sometbing bybeing identified, or ratber by bavingretained the liability to be identified inthe minds of untbinking persons, or inthe misrepresentations of those wbodo not like uls with one particular re-ligious body, our gain as it seems tome greatly outweigbs such. a loss. Bet-ter I tbink to bave the old true bluePresbyterian colour, thougb in a senseeven that is a limit, than to bave no re-


ligiotns colour at aIl. Thîe severance of

IDheology froui tlîe general body of

culture ai-d science is uunwlolesome on

bothi sides, tends to ernasculate Tlîeo-

logy and to miaini culture. A cloistered

Theology remioved to the segregation

of a loosely affiliated school is more or

less slîoaled and shîelved, very proue to

becorne somiewhat spectral, and fan-

tastîc, out of contact with living

thotiglîts and needs. A pturely secular

cohlege, with no orgali iu it, to repre-

setthe ultinmate sauctities, suffers

peri'&ps still muore. The tpne tends to

beconue liard, trivial and common, ad-

verse to unclogged receptiveness and

quick respoîîse towards the influences

of serions thouglit and noble litera-

ture; in the most desolating sense un-

educateci. Learniîîg nlot related to the

higbest and xvidest spiritual interests

of men, degenerates into a fiat ai-d sap-

less thing, mîinute techuical investiga-

tion, a peeping curiosity without cou-

secration, or informiug soul, with mag-

nifying spectacles and the minimum

of eye, and brain behind it, an arid

specialism wbich leads withîout fail to

a purblind idolatry of the influitesimal,

and canuot see the Wood for trees nor

yet the trees for twigs. The continent

swarms with t'hese cotai iusects of so-

called research; and mauy Universi-

ties, as meu narnt themn, are littie more

than factories for turning tlîem ont at

so much thue gross and a reduction for

taking a quantity.It is, I think, in great part the close

and at the saine timle flexible connec-

tion with an enlighitened Church tlîat

she bas doue mutch to enligliten, w1hich

bias kept Queeu's in the past s0 con-

spicuiously f ree fromn this melancholy

disappearalice in the sands. Thuat

largely lias been the secret spring of

wliat lias been bier peculiar property,of wliat lias madle lier a force. filer

special note has been a really large

and generous point of view, a grasp of

fertilizing ideas, a love of the genuine

and truily great in literature, as op-

posed to flhe meretriciotis and slîallow,

a certain fearless and open-eyed reve-

rence. Hier graduates have lîad these

slîining goals kept before tlîem, they

have at least seen their austere beauty

beckoniug from afar, and they have

neyer lost their hold uipon our inde-

structible lueritage f roui the past just

because tliey have learned to open

tlîeir eyes to the ever-expanding reve-

lations of thîe present, No doubt the

sense of the essential unity of culture

and religion, the fundamiental convic-

tion of tlîe Reformation, had become

muore or less engrained in Qneen's. So

much so tlîat we riight reasonably

have hoped that no external modifica-

tions of constitution would have at

least for a long tinie affected it. But

no one cati say wlîat might have been

the u-ltimate outcomne of the proposed

changes or bow soon "'the littie rift

withiu the lute" might have made it-

self perceptible. And for my part at

least I rejoice to find nîyself retnrned

not to a mere sectarian Theological

College, but to the Theological Facuil-

ty of Queen's University, an essential

menîber of the orgauîsm, exclianging

in full living inter-comimunication,healti-,givinig, nay indispensable influ-

ences witlî the whole Acadernic body.

I. anm glad that Queen's stili represents

in Canada iii outward form as well as

in substance the sacredness of knowl-

edge, the sauity of -religion, the

solidarity of aIl thîe higlier imipulses of

mmnd, tlîat slîe still wears without a

rent, visibly before all the world, the


old searnless robe of tbe conmplete Unversity ideal.

1 consider it týoo of excellent ornefor nie that 1 have arrived just iii timto take part once more in a conferencof our Theological Aluimni. Tbesconferences are flot the least significant expression of the specific qualit.of the life of the place. Indeed afteone has been away for a while the.,corne to be appreciated as bringinýtlîat, with alI its divergent rays, tovisible focuis in rather a rernarkablcnianner. Of course Queen's is not thEonly place to bave tbem. This idea ofhers andl Principal Grant's, who incor-porated lier, if lie di1( flot create bier,like niany otbers, lias secuired sonie-wvhat extensively tlîat tribute of imita-tion wbicli, as we all know, is the sin-cerest flattery. For instance 1 had thepleasuire of assisting at one last year,botb in the French and English sense,in the Montreal Presbyterian College.It was in several important respects avery different affair froni wbat I lîadgrown accustomied to. The sttudentsin general, even the diviiiity students,took no interest in it wlîatever. I doplot believe there were liaif a dozenstu.dents tiiere of any kind. The gen-eral public of tlîat great city, so manytimes greater than our littie Kingston,were flot liberally represented. Theydo flot lianker nîuicb after TlîeologicalConferences in Montreal. One bad awbol.esonie sense of one's insignifi-cance. I was myself thîe only Arts-Professor present-by the by, therewas one other, Prof. Tory-the onlyone probably who bad been asked totake part iii the proceedings. The wboletbing seerned to be done in a Theolo.gical corner. It was like a decentîyattended prayer-nîeeting in one of the

i-sraller chuirches, Here on the con-trary we take it for granted that the

nl evening meetings and even sômetimese the afternoon ones, would make goode show ' ng against tbe competing attrac-e tions of a circus at tbe same hour. We

-expect thîe general public and the en-V tire student body, and tbey rarely dis-r appoint uis. The Conferences concen-

trate the wliole of ouir Academnicforces. The fatal beniunibing line be

ttwveen thie sacred au(l thie secuilir iscomplctely obliterated. Professors ofPliilosopiy, English, Greek, Latin,Political Econoniy, Biology and Ma-tlieratics an(l goodness only knowswhîat! expatiate witlî entire freedomfroni their inultitudinous points ofview for the enlightenment and cross-fertilization of our Theologians. Andthe Theologians do flot turn a hiair. Itis a curions and unparalleled spectacle-a sort of Peter's sheet let down withalI varieties of meat, Mosaically for-bidden and Mosaically permitted, aforecast of wlîat will one day be, aquite unique plienonienon so far as Iknow, and a liopeful one, I think, apledge of tbe ultirnate reconciliationin fact aiîd of the present barnîony inprinciple of tlîings wbich are oftensuipposed to clasb and jangle hopeless-ly, religion and tinfettered knowledge.Wbere else in the world I wondercotuld yoii find Professoýr Dupuis dis-coursing as the offlcially recognizedand duly constituited and accreditedinstruictor of Tbeological Alumni, andthat witlî general acceptance, onAstronony and Pre- M osaic Civiliza-tion ?

It was the fearless spirit of l>rinci-pal Grant, that lion-heart, let us neyerforget it, thie Moses wlîo did morethan any other haîf-dozen to lead the


Presbyterian Chutrcbi of Canada ot of

is, I believe, religious teaéhers of this

manly strain. Tbe greatest service

perbaps wbicb a University can do for

the cornrnunity, the 1best test of bier

vitality in ail other respects is to pro-

duce tbern. Our miners, enginýeers,

Our journalists, writers andteachers can do stili more. Theirdaily business touches the muner life ofthe pi-npie if more points. Bit afterail tlhere is lia position of advantage,

no purcliase, like the pulpit. Just thinkof it. The minister of religion by vir-tue of his office cornes into very closequarters with the rnost intirnate por-tions of his people's lives, at those nmo-

rnents whien they are rnost of ail theirreal selves. He touches thern in theprimai depths. He is often the onenio. tai confidant of their sorrows andsins.

TheUniversity in short can help us even ifwe have no particular religions orpoeticai genins like Paul, but aresimply bard-working men of good.-will eager for the truth, to prove ailthings antd holti fast what is good; toseparate between the letter which kili-etli and the spirit wbichl maketh alive;to avoid the leaven of the Phariseeswhich was a slavish traditionalism andliteralism, that is to say idoiatry. Foridolatry is always nothingimore or iessthan the confotnting of seime finiteanti therefore obsolescent symbol andappearalice with the infinite and eter-nal itself. And finaily the Universitycan hel) uis to grasp the living presentwithi its revelations and its needs; toseparate there too between the passingfashions of the houir anti the solid sub-stance destined to abide. She cauteach us the miethotis anti the temperof patient science; and unroli for nsbier new gospel which is, 1 believe, at


bottom, but an expansion and lmm-

ous commentary of the old writ large

-the vision of the universe as a sys-tem of inviolable order and law, throb-bing in ail its ceaseless changes withthe one changeless and ageless life of

Him who is without variableness orshadow of turning; the evolution of

rnatter, life and mind which is thegraduai unveiling of spirit; the livingorganism of society. Tiiese are some

things which the University can lielpto do for the future religious teachers

of Canada. Slhe eau give good aid to-wards making themn educated, truth-loving men, living on the heights oftheir own time and'with ail the spirit-ual substance of past ages in a manner

integrated as a personal possession in

their minds. If thcy are not thiat in

some tolerable degre, wliat can they

be but blind leaders of the blind, roamn-ing like ghosts amid the cast-off reliesof a dead world, trying tu itouse them-selves and those who follow them intombs, empty shelis lying higb and dryupon the shore of time, deserted by the

freshening wave, and with rio life in

thiem any more for ever.There is a great work now going on

in the world before our eyes; the work

of reconstruction, of reformation. It

hias always been going on in ail ages.But we are passing through rather anacute crisis of it just now. It is not

our Divinity students alone who are

cailed to do their share in it and quit

themnselves like men: No man de-

serves the namne of educated or ought

to have the Academic stamp upon him

who does not leave us equipped to

take an intelligent and sympatheticpart in it. We are apt to considerourselves ill-nsed that such a respon-sibility should have been laid upon us;

to talk in a rnournful strain as if u-ponus the ends of thc earth hiad corne.Why there is notbing after ail 50 pecu-liar in our situation. ODur religiotisproblem is precisely wliat the rcligiousproblem bas always been-to find theforrn in which ouir religion can be areality, a working force in our own

hearts first and then in our ownwxorld.This is inherent in the very nature ofour faith. It is a spiritual thing, aliving relation to the living God who

is always revealing Himiself anew in

ever-widening circles of liglit as tbe

worid opens out more and more to theexpanding experience and insight ofmen. It cannot possibly thien be whatis cailed a mere "deposit of faith" likea bag of shekels wbich could be handed(lown unialtered fromn one generation to

another. A\Iechanical transmission may

nearly suiffice for thc charmis of a sa-

vage rituial. The fetish is jealous andrather stupid. The proper etiquettemust be exactly observed in approach-ing him. He bates to be disturbed bychanges and wants 'bis sacrifice alwaysdone in just the same way. Faith inthe living God on the ýother handmeans vital assimilation. We must

make it our own. If it is to be reallyours we cannot possibly hold it pre-cisely in the forms which expressed itfor our fathers. (Dur thouights are notas their thoughts were; our world isflot their world. The strearn liaswidened where we stand and it takesocean liners to do for us what coraclescould do for them. Think in howmany voices the old message bias beenrestated since the ancien t days of thechosen people. The literai wùrd ofone prophet became the falsehood ofthe next generation with whici !lhenext prophet, his successor, the heir of


his spirit had to spend his life in deadly wrestle. Think of the colossal rcconstruction on whichl Paul laboure(Then the new point of view applieci iiJohn, the ceaseless recastings in crceeand institution of the Greek and th,Roman Church, the travail oýf the Reformation. It is a kaleidoscope odissolving views; an immortal spiriconstantly reincarnating itself.' "AIthat is perishable is but a parable.'God fulfills himisclf in -niany ways.

So now too there is a Chuirch stiliinvisible that is gathering shiape in themiatrix of ail existing ecclesiastical or-ganizations, yes and outside of themas well, an important part of it themore is their shame, very largely out-side of theni aIl. She shall restate themessage of the Cruicified Christ forour modern worlcl in woýrds that willhave meaning and liberate His savingpower more fully than heretofore. Theworld bas need of bier. Canada liasbitter need. Look at the signs of oirtimes. Heathen Japan teaching Christ-ian nations an unexanipled objeet-les-son in devotion to the state, the entiseof the Minnie M., the portrait of JohnD. Rockefeller 'hanging in the Chapelof Chicago University, PierpontMorgan the high priest of one greatpower travelling about the country inamicable fcllowship with the high-priest of quite another Power and at-tracting the greater popular notice ofthe two, the organization of robberyon a colossal scale, oýften consecratedby ecclesiastical benediction and pay-ing tithes into the temple treasury, thealmost.utter lack among us of any ra-tional conception of what civic spiritmeans, the low ideals and methods ofour politicians, our immersion in

1-heartless nioney-making or in brain-!-less amusement, the flood of political1.corruption which rolls the all-pervad-Iling poison of its black waters like a-1river 'of biell through every corner of

ADDIRESS BY MR. FREDERICK HAM-ILTON AT THE OPENING

0F GR~ANT HALL.

Mr. Chancellor, Principal Gordon,Ladies and Gentlemen :

TW ears ago a great honour andT algh responsibility fell to rnylot. The son of bim whom we coin-memorate to-nigbt invited me to be hishelper in the rendering of a filial duty.Our labours have ended, and a loyalson has paid a pions tribute to a fatherto wbom we bere in Qucen's *owe anaffection and a gratitude especiallyaur own.

Four years ago youi, more especiallythe younger graduates and the under-graduates, undertook the building ofthis Hall, to be at once the bheart ofour dearly loved University, and atoken to the years that are ta corne ofthe love which Queensmen bear Prin-cipal Grant. We bave met to-night toconsummate the rearing of this monu-ment, alike of the affection in whichhe was held, and of that spirit of

Queen's, tough, stubborn in the faceof adversity, fertile in resource, andingenious in enterprise, whiich hefound here and in which he exulted.Thanks to my co-operation with Mr.William Grant, 1 amn associated withthat other monument, with. the writtenrecord of our leader's life. And so ithappens that I find myself here ta-night in a strangely representative ca-pacity. Mr. William Grant, in wboseveins alone now fiows the blood ofthat leader, whom we cauld wishi to bea figure here to-night, is far away. Asthe assistant biographer 1 may, withgreat hesitation, speak a word of whatI think was the mind of the Principal

concerning tis eliterprise, the begin-nings of which cheered imi in bis laterdays.

I amn a son of Queen's of a somie-what carlier day, and one of miy fond-est recollections of my latireation isthat it took place in the older Convo-cation Hall. It was the shrine of ourUniversity. Portraits of past wortliieslooked down tupon ns frorn its walls.It was the scene of our more import-,ant gatberings. In it we contendedfor the prizes of the student. It wasfroni its (lais that we descenderl, aluni-ni of otir Alma Mater. It is a greatprivilege to have once more a Convo-cation Hall adlequate to our swellingnuîmbers, to be able to crown the stu-dent's career in the beart of the Uni-versity \vlicb bas ntirtnred bim. Tothat value of tbe ncw Hall PrincipalGrant was profondly alîve. Moremay be said than that. The projectturned in part ta a resoîntion to bon-our bis labours, bis acbievements andbis devotion. That compliment gavehim intense pleastire. He made aneffort to put tbe honour from him, andniany of those present recollect bowdecisively bis disclairner was over-ruled.

There wvas another aspect of thebuilding of Grant Hall. Ever proudof bis students, bie took an exquisitesatisfaction in tbe bigh enterprise, thequenchless confidence, the sagacityand the snccess of the young men whouindertook the wýork. On one occa-sion he put bis deligbt in a clfiaracter-istically haîf-burnourous and concreteform. "I didn't raise a cent of it," besaid. Mtuch lay beblind that phrase.The raising of money had been forhim an appalling duty, one wbich his


soul loathed, one which broke hisgreat strength, but one which hiad tobe doue, and which lie accordinglydischarged. Money, lie said once, re-presents God's world. The buildingof this Hall meant that others wereraising money in large sums forQueen's. The day of help had corne.He wýho for a long quarter of a cen-tury liad borne the burden saw ncwlabourers comng forward. Queen'shenceforward woiild bce dependent onthe labours of no one man.

That is one watchword for thisniglit. The sons of Queen's ever baveshown their loyalty. But in the past,inevitably when numbers were fewai-d means were scan.ty, that loyaltvbas fouind its spring of action in theorganizing power, in the energy, inthe driving force of some one man. Inpart our growth must mean the pass-ing of that order of things. Our Uni-versity is too large now to rely upýonthe efforts of any individtîal. Theremust be propulsive poýwer as well asaffectionate devotion in the body ofhier sons and of lier benefactors. Prin-cipal Grant read into the 'building ofthis Hall the coming of that day.Grant Hall will mean to outr descend-ants two things :-How well one manloved Queen's, and how well bier sonshave corne to serve bier.

ADDIRESS BY REV. JAMESWAL LACE, B. D.

Mr. Chancellor, Ladies and Gentle-menIESTEEM it a great honor that 1

sbould have been asked to repre-sent the students and graduiates onthis great occasion. I have learnedIrorn our worthy Principal that to me

lias been assigned tbe part of present-ing a short sketch of the origin andprogress of the movement wbich basresulted ini placing this rnagniflcentHall where it stands to-night.

We 'have still fresh in our mernory,the gallant way in which the citizensof Kingston responded when an ap-peal was madle to them to raise $50,-000 for a uew Arts Building, and youcaunot but remember how pleased thePrincipal xvas xvitb the resuilt of thatappeal. By granting the money thecitizens of Kingston showed that flioseaniong wboin the University had itshome belicved iii it and were ready tomnake sacrifice for it, andl proved thatit was s0 great a prophet that it wasxiot without bonor even in its owncountry. The success whiclh attendedthat appeal to the city gave the Princi-pal and bis advisers reason to hopethiat if an appeal were made to a widercircle of the Univeýrsity's neighbors ittoo miglit lie successful. A hall forExarnination, Convocation and otherpurposes was uirgently needed s0 itwas decided t'hat a by-law should liesubrnitted to the Couinty of Frontenacto raise $20,000 for the erection of ahall to lie called Frontenac Hall. Thishowever failed as the by-law was de-feated at the polIs. We bave not for-gotten the day. It was Friday, Nov.lst, 1901. AIl the returns bad notreacbed us that evening but sufficienthad been received to make plain thatthe battle had gone against us and notonly the University authorities but thestudents were feeling decidedly blue,nevertheless the feeling was generalthat thougli we bad been routed webad flot been completely vanquishedand that "some noble work of note


might yet bie done." There was a

stiffening of thec back which seemed to

say that fia reverse woul(l be allowedto arrest us in our onward progress.

Saturday morning the first thoughtof many Queen's students naturallyturned to the reported defeat. Oui-

first thought was that if it were onlypossible we ought to show those peo-

ple who voted against the by-law, thatthey had not taken the heart out of us,that "we fali to rise and are defeatedto fight better" and at the sanie timemake plain to the Principal that the

apparent defeat hiad only opened up a

way ta victary, for notwithstanding al

the disappointments hie haà met with

in bis active public career, perhaps on

accaunt of sickness, hie seemed to f eel

this one especially keenly. But the

second thauglit was wihat practical

form. could any movement take to re-

store our credit and show that our

own resources were not exhausted.The thoughit came ta me of what the

students had done an a former occa-

sion when the Principal had taken ilI

and was unable ta complete the

100,000 Dollar Fund, and wýe were not

made of meaner stuif, could flot we,

the students, with the assistance we

might obtain from aur friends and the

University's, build the Hall, and then

it would be aur privilege ta give ta it

the name of aur beloved Principal.

But how could the nîoney necessary bc

raised? The only possible method

seemied ta be on the instalment plan,

allowing subscriptions to run for a

period nat langer than ten years. Al

this was mapped out in my own mind

and I broached the plan ta the stu-

dents. They fell in with it at once

and said if the matter is taken up we

will put our names down for $100 onthe ten-year plan. The scheme seem-

ed to rneet wîth the approval of thestudents on ail sides, so that on that

Saturday before comtplete returns had

been reccived fromi ail polling divis-ions we had $2,500 subscribed.

After having gainied the consent of

the Principal, a committee of the stu-

dents was formed and the canvass bie-guni, while at the sanie time an appealwas made by letter to trustees, meni-bers of couincil, gradtiates and aluinniof Quieeni's. In this canvass we wereably assisted by a comnmittee appoint-ed by the University Council to ca-operate withi us.

The canvass was carried on andwith such success that by the close of

tlîe session in the spring of 1902 we

hiad subseriptions promised to the

amount ýof $34,000.We, the students and graduates, are

glad to-nighit that the Hall standscompleted, flot only in the supplyingof a long-felt want, but as a fittingtribute to the heroic labors of Princi-pal Grant, and as a memorial to re-mind us of ahl lie was and ever willcontinue ta be to us. We are glad toothat it stands as a monument of thedevotion and loyalty of Queen's pro-fessors, students and graduates, andwe hiope and pray thaýt those who corneflocking in f rom year to year to treadthese halls may catch the spirit ofthose who have preceded them, thespirit for which ýthese were indebted inlarge measure to their indomitableself-sacrificing Principal.,When we undertook the work

$20,000 was the surn aimed at, theamount asked froni the county, andwe are glad to say that our subsz:rip-tions have exceeded that amount, but


this sum bas 'heen found to be alto-gether insufficient to build and furnisha hall equal to the present need. Sothat there is a large balance unpaid.Could flot the studenits who have en-tered Queen's since the scheme waslauncbed corne forward and make upwhat is lacking? Youi are going toreap the benefit from the Hall, for flotmany of the original subseribers arein atten(lance now; they were only al-lowed to view the promised land from.afar off. You are its possessors, sodo flot forget the labors of those whocleared the way and made your inher-itance possible and unite in doing het-ter than they have done.

Whatever success bias attended theundertaking bas been due to threethings:

(1) The Hall was an absolute ne-cessity and those of ithe University'sfriends who were alive ýto the needscontributed to the Grant Hall Fundbecause they wished ýto see old Queen 'sprosper.

(2) The second great factor thatcontributed to our success, sucb as itbas been, was the consistent loyaltyand tmswerving devotion of Queen 'smen whetber they ýbe Trustees, Coun-cillors, Professors, Graduates or Un-dergraduates. An ýappeal bas neyerbeen made to, the friends. of Queen 'sand made in vain, for if it be true thatmen have grown old in its service, itis also true that some have grown poorin their devotion to it, but even theirpoverty bas abounded unto the richesof their liberality.

(3) The greatest factor, however,iii this appeal was the fact that theundertaking was coupled witb thename of George Monro Gran~t. Forrepeatedly we were told in our canvass

by students and others that they mustgive sOmletbing for Geordie's sake,sometbing to pre-serve the name ofhim whom they loved and honored forbis fearless courage, personal magnet-ism, and kindly interest in tbem, andso tbey were willing to make sacrificefor bis name.

For those who knew bim, PrincipalGrant needs no monument of stoneand mortar, but we art happy througbour lahors to be able to, leave for those,who corne after us a hall whichbhearsbis naine that they may be remindedof and perhaps taugbt to know some-tbing of, and to catch the spirit of, theone who was for us not a mere leaderbut a man,Honest of purpose, pure in life and

tbougbt,Free from mere- party rule, in dan-

ger's bourStrong to put forth and furnish all be

could,For others good, nor willing to, be

bougbtBy love of wealtb or praise or power."

For such we believe was the manwhose name tbe Hall hears.

"6PRINCIPAL GRANT."IT would be strange if, in an issue ofthe JOURNAL so largely devoted to

the presentation of the recent cere-mony in connection with tbe formalopening and dedication of the Hallwbich is to hear the name and standas a monument to the memory 'of ourlate Principal, no reference were madeto a no less wortby effort to perpetu-ate that name and memory in anotherform. We refer ýto the volume bearingthe above titie publisbed a few weeksago and representîng the united la-bours of Mr. W. L. Grant and Mr. C.

QUFEN'S UNIV/ERSITY JOURNAL.

F. Hamilton, botb distinguislied gra-

duates of Queen's. An extended re-

view of the book has alreadY appeare(l

in the Quarterly. It is scarcely our

present unpretentiotls purpose to rival

that excellent article, but we think it

not inappropriate tbat a work of such

mnert and interest for the student body

sbould receive some notice from tbe

JOURNAL.

The book, whicb is written in a de-

ligbtfully simple and fascinating style,

is printecl on heavy paper in large,

dlean type, and the binding is thor-

,ougbly in keeping with its many otber

admirable featunes. Beginning witb a

concise yet comprebiensive and gra-

phic sketch of the rural scenes of Pic-

tou County, N.S., amid wbicb the

early days *of its subject were spent,

tbe biognaphy traces tbrough its suc-

cessive stages the gradual unfolding

of a if e not seldomn involved in ardu-

ous struggle, down to the final passing

on the forenoon of May 11, 1902, at

the comparativçly premature age of

sixty-six years. Each chapten is de-

voted to the elucidation of a special

period or aspect of the if e and person-

ality portrayed and at tbe end two ap-

pendices are inserted illustrative of the

Principal's correspondence. It is im-

Possible in a brief nefenence like tbis to

give any idea of the rich variety of

contents. Suffice it to say that there

iS nlo one of tbe many spheres of activ-

ity which fell within the ever-widen-ing circle of bis ceaseless, persevering

effort whicb bas not received due place

and prominence, and bis relations to

ail the leading questions of bis day,

educational, ecclesiastical, social and

political, both domestic and imperial,are treated in thiat calm and dispas-

sionate spirit wihich marks tbe work as

a coflspict1ts exception to the ruleellnuinciated by the candid friend who

sav1s that "biographies written by sons

are, as a rule, only one degree lesscontemptible than tbose written by

dauighters." 1'erhaps its not least en-

tertaiflifg eleieiit is the interspersionhere andi there of characteristic scenes

an(l incidenfts whîich are sornetimes in-

serted in the, course of the narrative

while others, as in the case of that re-

lating to the Irish saloon-keeper, ap-

pear in the formi of foot-notes.For those of us wbose college life

xvas largely spent under the regime of

the late Principal bis bîography is ofunique îuterest and possesses a pecu-liar inspiration, but we hope that thosewho bave entered since bis time may

also find in it a mediumn of very real

au(l living communion with the spirit

of him to wbose self-sacrificing la-

bours our University and country owe

s0 much. If it is true, as we believe,tbat "among tbe good gifts which the

Eternal bestows upon a nation none isto be compared witb a prophet," what

tribute too great can be paid to those

wbo cledicate their time and talents to

keep green for future generations the

memiory of those beroic characterswho are the creators of bistory andwbho by their fearless and unselfish de-votion to trutb and duty, tbeir faith in

May the youing men of Queen's as

they go forth fromn ler halls neyer for-

get tbat tbe first essential, the tbing


that takes precedence before ail creedsand dogmas, is a strong, independent,self-reliant manhood, and may theyever cherish the memory and exampleof one who for so many ycars directedthe affairs and guided the destiny ofaur AIma Mater, whose life was oneunceasing protest against narrownessand bigotry and tyranny in ail theirforms, physical, mental, moral and re-ligious-the memiory andl example, touse the words of Browning, whichhave, we believe, been applied to himibefore, ofOne who neyer turned his back, but

AR~CHITECTURAL NOTES ONGR~ANT HALL.

W HEN it was decided that thebuildings ta be erected an the

University Campus were ta be design-ed in the Romanesque, considerationwas given as ta the mast suitable per-iad of that style ta be adapted. Thelater periad as portrayed in the build-ings 'of the eleventh and twelfth cen-turies in the south of France was se-lected as giving best examples, theclassie tendency of the work also ren-dering it more likely ta meet the de-mands of modern requirements andpermit greater freedon- in designing.

In the new Arts building and thePhysics building littie could be doneta praperly illustrate the period, anaccount of the amount of plan arearequired in proportion ta the money tobe expendýed. These buildings were

therefore nmade studies in outline, andprominence given ta one or two fea-turcs anly.

Grant Hall, however, on accouint ofthe liberality of the benefactors andtrustees, the requirements of the build-ing, and its memorial character, gavemore chance for architectural effeet.

A campanile, breadth of plan, andhighi masses of walling, gave the re-quired opportunity and a "motif" wassoughit for eacli of thiese importantfeatuires froni the best exponents ofthat style.

The main exterior, thc east andwcst walls of the Hall, lias been treat-ed without buttresses. Instead, thelower walls have been thickened andpierced with small windoýws, and cap-ped with a heavy mauilded coping; asemi-classic treatment of pilaster andcamnice given to the upper portion, thespaces between the pilasters hein garcaded. TIhis is a familiar renderingof the wall surface of the periad, andportions of siîch buildings as theAbbey Chutrch at Thorenet, in the De-partment of Var, have been practicallyrepraduced in this instance. Themouldings and caps and bases havebeen accurately followed sa that flotanly in 'the general effect, but in detailthec work will illustrate the refinementaf the style.

The general character of the cam-panile has been gathered fram studiesof thase at Puisalicon and Uzes. Themain entrance from University Ave-nue is a replica of that in the Churchof St. Michael at Salon. A noticeablefeatuire of it is the semi-circular pedi-ment braught dawn over the mainarch, the fore-runner of the gablepediments of flic Gothic period.

How can we bet!terhonour that request than by placingthere a bust of the late Principal?

From the timie the foundation ofGrant Hall was laid until its dedica-tion 'one could not but feel that therewas a caîl to do one's best, thaýt thememorial might be worthy of its name,that its stones might "day after dayutter speech," to influence the livesabout it for truth and self-sacrifice.

ADDRESS BY THE CHANCELLOR,SIR SANFORD FLEMING AT THE

OPENING 0F GR~ANT HALL.

I N the naine and on behiaf of thisIUniversity, 1 gratefully and

proudly accept youir gif t. This gatli-ering of the sons of Qneen's, the firstconvoked within these newly raiscdwalls, is indeed a memiorable occasion.Two years ago on November 6th, itwas iiiy privilege, at your request, tolay the corner stone of ýthe Grant Hall.This day we have the highl satisfactionto, meet within the qom1-pleted building.Wýe are assemibled to, bear witness tothe dedication of a noble gift fromnloving sons to a loviîîg mnother.

"Tbis new Convocation Hall is al-

ways to lie known bw the naine of thelate Principal. His inagnelic voice, sofamiiliar to uis all, can neyer reverber-ate arorînclj thlese coînniins, but bisspirit remiains witb us. Long will itContinue as a great moral force to in-fluence the yoning Canadian life at-tracted to this seat of learning; longxvill it assist in niouil(ing the high typeof stifdent Which Quleeni's sen(ls forthto enrich the Domninion.

'Students and Aliumnii, on your owninitiative yonl have raise(l this lastingmlemiorial iii honor of Principal Grant.Youi have ýeachi ani aIl contribute(lmiost generouisly. i ani aware that ifthe trnth was runade known it wouldbe fotînd that ont of your compara-tiveiy narrow means miany of youhave (lone more than miliionairescouid do, or wouid bc willing to do.And why? Was it flot owing to yourdeep-rooted attachment to the manwho gîiidecl Queen's s0 wiseiy, whosesympathies were so tendler, wliosecharacter was so noble ?

"No one knows better than each ofyou how tîntiring was his energy, howninwearied bis earnestness, how stren-nious was bis labor. For a quarter ofa century lie found here a congenialoutiet for bis best efforts and here hedevoted his surpassing intellect tolarge and lofty issues. No man couIl!have spent hiruseif to better puirposein building up a great Canadian Uni-versity.

"A few months before 'he died lieacldressed you stridents for the iasttimie in old Convocation Hall. Onthat occasion he explained to you thesecret of his life and impressed uponvon one great lesson in these words:-'The road to sticcess wbiclî saýtîsfies isthrouglb singleness of ýeye and froru a


deep-rooted conviction that we owe tothe community unselflsh service alto-

gether apart from the question ofwhcther the commnunity is or is not

grateful. If I bave done any goodthis is tbe explanation.'

"Having given you his secret, hieprave(l God that youi would turn it to

giood uise. Then he pictured te, you a

vision of the future which had been

given bim. 'Our University, strongin your love, an ever-increasirig powerfor good; our country pressing for-

ward - our empire champion of liberty,civil and religious, intellectual and

commercial.'"Tbe life work of Principal Grant

was for the most part. limited to the

century wbich is past. The new cen-

tury had run but a few hours when a

great sorrow came uipon himi. 1 al-

lude to the death of his helpiieet, Mrs.

Grant, to whom we owe much more

than the world will ever know. In a

little more than a year, mlost of it ofsuffering, hie, too, was called away

and aIl that is mortal of 'one of the

noblest and ablest of Canada's sons'

now rests on the hilîside at Cataraqui.

"I shaîl not dwell on the feeling of

deep bereavemient which followed and

which ail experienced. 1 shaîl remem-

ber anly with thankfulness that lie

lived and that fro:m bis first day iii

Kingston to the end he lavishly gave

bhimself to advance this University, to

elevate the students and to promote

cvery goo(i and patriotic cause. 'Ver-

ily, verily, I say unto youl, except a

corn of wheat faîl into the ground and

die, it abideth alone, but if it die itbringeth forth rnuch fruit.'

"I ask myself the question, have we

îlot already evidence of fruitful re-

suits? Have we not arouind us iii thissplendid hall'ample proof that you stu-

dents have profitted biv the lesson of

bis life and that yon have been inspir-ed 'by bis vision? Has hie flot infusedinto your miinds a lofty entliusiasmand strengthcened iii voni the force ofcharacter to accomiplishi great andnoble acts ?

"The gift whichi vou have presentecland which on hehaif of Quieen's Uni-versity I formally accept, is a standingproof of the self-sacriflcing and self-reliant character of the men who havecorne within the influence of this seatof learning. You have raiscd a nie-

morial in bonor of the over-masteringmind who sowed sced on a productivesoil. May wc not rest assured that astime rolis on the seed wilI continue tofructify? Will not the monument youhave erected bie regarded with prideby succee(ling gencration s of studentsandl stimulate themn to great and pa-

triotic deeds ?"In these few words i hlave spokei

primarily on behaîf -of the University,1 cannot forget that we all have happypersonal recollections of the kind andfruitful life of the Rev. George MunroGrant. My ownl go back thiroughi aspant of forty years and glancing overthat long lapse of timie 1 have present-ed to mie a panoramnic picture of preci-ous mernories-of friendship withouta flaw. Like ail wvho have knowu hiimuwell, 1 have a fecling of profouind gra-titude for the happiness which bis lifebas added to mly own.

"My duty to-day is to receive forthe University a standing tribute ofthe dleep affection of the students for0one who endeared hiniself to theni,and to (leclare the Grant Hll openi

and ready for the purpose of its erec-tion. In (bing s0 1 wislb to give ex-

pression to the sttuleits ani Aluiiii

of the gratefull thanks of Queen's 'Uni-


versity. 1 have likewise a personalexpression of gratitude to offer you.There is no engagement in wbich Icould be called upon to take partwhich would awaken in iily mid SOmany andi so varied and interestingrecollections as this memorable occa-sion. 1 desire, therefore, to add mysincere ýthanks to the donors of thegift for the privilege 1 nlow enjoy.

"I greatly regret the absence on thisoccasion of the son andi only survivingdescendant of the late Principal. W.L. Grant is at the present tirne beyondthe Atlantic. I arn glad, bowever, tosee on the plaftorm a well-known gra-duate, a loyal son, of Quccn's, who, asa collaborator of Mr. Grant, bas en-shrined the memory of bis father in asplendid volume just issued from thepress. I sball shortly cail upon Fred-erick Hamilton to say a few words onbehalf of the biographers and the sur-viving relatives. Meanwbile it is in,every sense proper tbat the cledicationof tbe mernorjal ball sboiild be coin-pleted by prayer to tbe Divine bead.

"At tbe installation of PrincipalGrant on Decemýber 5tb, 1877, tbe Rev.Daniel M. Gordon acted as cbaplain.It is a Inatter of no ordinary înterestthat bis life-long friend is bere to-day.I bave bigb. satisfaction in asking tbeVery Rev. Principal Gordon to com-plete tbe dedication of tbe Grant Halland pray tbe Almighty Fatber for Hisblessing."

In connection witb these exercises,Principal Gordon, representing theUJniversity Council, gave a short andbeartily received address. He look-ed uipon the opening of GrantHall as the commencceent of a newepocb in tbe bistory of Queen's.

GRANT HALL OPENING.

GRANT Hall, the gift of the stui-Gdents and their friends ta the

University, has been duly opened,

dedicated and uinreservedly handed

over to the Trustees-a gift which,

we believe, they were very glad ta re-

ceive. In this number we are publishl-

ing a few of the addresses given on

this occasion, and there remains little

to be said regarding the matter. We

are inserting a few cuts in this issue

whichi tell their ownl tale. Kingston

citizens have long feit that their par-

ticular gift to the University was lack-

ing in architectural beauty whatever

advantages it miay hiave possessed

from the mnerely academic standpoint.

This defect, long so noticeable, lias

been almost, if not quite, obliterated by

fhe erection of Grant Hall, which it-

self gives balance to the Whole struc-

ture, while the Campanile tower over

its entrance relieves the de-ad mono-

tony of its sky-line and gives to the

elitire b)uildIing the appearance of acompleted whiole possessing a har-niony and proportion which were de-

cidedly waniting hitherto.Regarding (;rant Hall itself we say,

without hesitation, that it is the finest

piece of work on the quadrangle.

Every friend of Queen's and every ad-

mirer of our larnented Principal feit,

as they sat in that capacious Hall dur-

ing the opening ceremonies, that it

was the miost suitable monument that

couc1 possibly be reared ini honor of

the late renowfle( leader, and almost

founder, of the University. Týiere it

stands, a miasterly work of art, a thingof beauty within andI without, a fittingtribute to "the greatest of the nativeborn." There it stands and rnay it

stand forever, an everlasting memorial

of the devotion of the youing men of

Canada and Quleens to a great Cana-

dian who was not less than a hero

among thein and also o~f their attach-

ment to a great institution which has

been their Aima Mater in aIl the broadlines of general culture.

Who was the baby with the bell who

disturhed the opening ceremonies of

Grant Hall? Every loyal student of

Queen's is clamoring to discover this

shallow-pated nuisance. It is intoler-

able that one, or perhaps two or three,stuidents should bring disgrace on t1êeirfLllows by such childish nonsense. It

is to be greatly deplored that there

shotuld even be a freshmian within ont

walls, so ignorant of what constitutes

common civility as to interrulpt an

"Inaugural Address" and so to comi-

pel the speaker to cease, but, to have

it whispered, that a graduate, no mat-

ter in what faculty, should be guilty of


suich base discouirtesy and barbarity asto djstress even our beloved Chancel-lor i his a(l(ress, flot to mention anyother, is a hurning insiilt to the stul-(lent body tunder cover of wbose nuruii-bers hie bias taken cowardly shelter,and an offence which shouilc receive attheir hands a punishrnent commensu-rate with sticb rude and ungentieman-ly conduet.

lu suicb cases as this, whiere the stul-dlent body cannot silence flic offender,while tbey mutst bear the odium of theoffence, it is safe to say that the stu-(lents would highly appreciate a sharpanl( direct rebulke from the Principal,wfiose slighitest wor(l we arc alxvays

TIIE SCOIPE OF TITE JOURNAL.

T HERE lias been a feeling amongthie students of the University

that the journal was pecuiliarly a stu-dents' paper and that it should for thatreason publish only matters that weýreof immediate 'interest týo tbat particu-lar constituency of readers. This, how-ever, we are beginning to learn, isonly part of the purpose the JOURNALniay serve. Besicles the readers with-ini the college, we bave now a long listof subscribers scattered ail over thiscontinent between tbe oceans, and thisfact lays tipon the Editoýrs the addi-tional burden of supplying the exceed-ingly varied demrands of a mtich largeraudience than bias heretofore perusedour coluimns.

We most heartily concuir, in certainsuggestions tbat have reached us fromgraduates in varions quarters, and inaccordance witb some of these, weshaîl endeavor to mlake tbe JOURNAT,

articles are always chosen with a view

to the tastes of the general reader,

sent, editorially, topics which shouild

be of interest to ail Queen's graduiates

-notablv, the editorial, in No. 2, of

this volume, regarding the formation

of a central Alumni Association at the

University, and in this number we are

publisbing a few articles rclating to

the opening of 'Grant Hall." Besîdes

tliis we have introduced an Alumni

columin, whicb we hope to make of

great intercst to ail readlers, if our

irieiids will but take the trouble to

suipply us with information regarding

the graduates in their locality. This

column hias already called forth sever-

al favorable comments.We have corne to the conclusion

that the JOURNAL may serve the Uni-

versity very effectively by becoming

more cosmopolitan in nature an(l by

seeking to sustain the interest of the

graduates in the progress and devel-

opinent of old Queen's. The Uni-

versity is made up of two classes, gra-

(mates and iindergraduates, and the

graduates formi by far the larger and

more important section of the patrons

of the institution. Every student and

graduate is intereste(l in the welfare of

bis Alma Mater, and every step taken

to knit bler friends more closelv to-

gether, and to create a deeper interest

in bier expansion, will be greeted with

unstinted app)lauise by every truc an(l

loyal son. Thus, if tbe cliaracter of

will not regret it but will rather re-

glory while they live, but the farne of

Grant lias greatly increased since hlis

death. Soule înay prefer the money;

we, nmost decidcdly, prefer the man.

Grant Hall is erected, opened and

(ledicated, and we are ahl delighted

witli it, but its walls stand tinadorned,

as yet, with either tablets or portraits.

If those walls are to be uised for, sucbh

a purpose, what couild be more appro-

priate or more gratifying to the bene-

factors than to have the place of hion-

or and( priority given to the portrait

Theaffirmative was taken by Miss Gordonand Miss Micheli, who represented'05, and the negative by Miss TenaMacfarlane anI MViss Austin fromn tbe,vear '06.

The topie was weil discussed, andits treatmcnt ail the more interestingto the audience, as the years seemedso eveniy inatched in the power of de-

bate. The judges, after a long andthoroughi discussion, ticcîiet in favourof the affirm-ative.

The interest taken in t'he first (lebatewas very gratifying to the society.The girls mnay at first think it a matterof littie importance, to prepare to dis-cuss one of these subjects, but she whohonestly grapples with one of themwill find that thougli she must be will-ing to endure rnuch adverse criticism,a compensation is liers in the fact thather niext attenmpt to discuss a subjectlogically wiIl be rnuich less difficuit,whetlier it take the form. of a finalLevana debate, or a junior Philoso-phy essay.

Freshies and Sophomnores, to youwe wonlld speak, hasten to realize theopportunities which are yours an(l thetime will not lie far distant whien thedate on wblich Frenchi essays are duewill no longer be looked forward to asa day of torture, but will rather markone of the privileges which is yourswhile at College.

T HERE is noting particularlyexciting at present to chronicle

concerning the Arts department.Everytbing is going on in a normalmariner, and the different classesare settling down to the ordinaryroutine of work. Tbe Fresbman'sreception cansed a ripple on theStream for a moment ; but tbat isflow oniy a pleasant memiorv treas-ured by ail wbo were presenit.

Perbaps the topic of Most impor-tance just now is tbe question' ofeach year baving an "lAt Home.There is no doubt tbat a large num-ber of Arts students tbink tbat thesefunctions have grown of late years

t<)o numerous aitogether ; andi yetmny, too, are ioth to relinquisbwhat has added a great. deal of

pleasuire during the session to their

otherwisc strenulous lives. Wbat-

ever nay lie the outcome of the dis-

cussion, one may say that the Arts

students wvil1 settie the mnatter satis-

factorily to themseives and to the

LTniversity as a wboie. They bave

flot failed in the past to resolutely

confront any problem that bas ap-

pearcd and to solve it in sucli a

manner tbat the good namne and

faine of the faculty bave been up-

held. There is no question but that

they are able to do so of themselvesnow and for tbe future; only tbey

desire to do this in their own way.

The inter-year debates among the.'

Arts students, whicb are beld beforetbe Aima Mater Society shouldprove interesting tbis year, as thereare some dougbty champions abroadin ail the the years seeking wbomtbey may devour. One thing isquite certain-tbese debates sbouldprove very helpful for developingthe art of publie speaking amongtbe students. At Queen's tbere isa heavy discount on oratory ; andtbe student is brave indeed wbo wiilrise up in tbe forum and seek to ex-press his thoughts in any eloquentmanner.

We suppose this is ail right if thespeaker bie affected or unnaturalbut tbe trutb is, the majority in theaudience will not listen to a speecbwbicli seeks to be in tbe least ornate.More tban one man .who bas at-tempted to rise on the glowingwings of fancy bas had the featherspulled from bis pinions so quicklythat ail lie could ever recollect waw'

the dazed feeling with which liegathered himsclf uip frorn thegrouind amid derisive laugliter.

But it seems too bad that moreleniency is flot shown to those stu-dents who, in no affected way, areattempting to develop this art.Perhaps in no other manner doesthe public judge the education of aman so severely as in this matter ofspeaking. As students who desircnothing so mucli as the glory of ourAima Mater, let us seek to introducea better regard for this importantaspect of our education.

The sehedule of the inter-univer-sity debate has been arranged. Thefirst contest will be held at Queen'son Dec. 2nd, when our men willmeet McGill's. The Ottawa Collegeis in the league for its second seasonand it is thouglit will produce somestrong men in this line.

WA HILE thue complicated m-achi.YVery and mysteriotis "formns"and "galleys" and type of the printingoffice have these lines in their tendercare, the Alumni Conference is in ses-sion, and the flood-gates have burstopen before the annual torrents of elo-quence and wisdom. The inexorablemandates of the Managing Editor for-bid, however, that we hold hack thiscolumn for a single day to enable uisto say a word about thie first papers of.the Conference of 1904. We are aýc-cordingly at a loss to know wherewithto fill our alloitted space. Tien, too,we tremble lest we should bie gtiilty ofuttering any of those "4platitudes'w'hich did so arouse the fiery indigna-tion of our predecessor. Mucli as wewould wish to extend our welcorne to

the sable-coated graduiates wlîo aregathering to partace of this feast ofwis(lom, we ýare forbidden hy the factthat sucéh a word of welcoine is a pla-tittide par excellence. It would seemtlucrefore that, placed between twosuich fires, we were to be debarredfrom saying anything about the Con-ference. But witli true Presbyteriantenacity we are determined at least tosay a word or two and will according-ly discouirse briefly on the change ofthle date of mieeting.

An Altununi Con ference concludingwithi a Rugby Football match is aboutas intuch an anomnaly as an Easter ses-sion in Divinity Ill without tlieAlumini week. When in January wecommenced that long dlesert-journeyof liard work and midnight oil it waswithi iucli pleasuire that we used tolook forward to that refreshing oasis,the Alumini Conference. This will bean excellent year to test the good reso-lutions which we alI make annually,for the powers that be have flot onlyPut the Conference as a preface to ourterîn's work, but the Conversat is to behceld hefore Christmas, and the feelingseemis to bie in favor of dispensingwith many of the ulsual superfluity of'.At Homes." So it seems that afterChristmas we will not'have the slight-est excuse for doing anything butwork, work, work till, the curtain isruing clown in April. As for the Con-ference it is perhaps to lie regrettedthat the change bas been made. Thefaîl terni is already very short and aweek taken froiui it seenus longer thanone ini Fcbruiary or Mardi. On theprinciple that variety does add a littlespice to life, we were well satisfiedwitlî the old arrangement and are ai-ready begiîuning to worry lest thespring termi slîould lack thie proper

io6


arnount of seasoning to make it as

palatable and agreeable as of old.

The traditions of "The Hall" wcre

upheld in the usual dignified mannerat the first meeting for the new term.The first order of business, the elec-tion of our ecclesiastical dignitaries,was conducted with great enthusiasmand the closeness of the contests forthe various plums of office týested theModerator's arithmetic in a most thor-ough manner. We would tender toModerator, Pope, Bishop and theother functionaries our congratula-tions, trusting that they rnay conductour weigbty affairs with that goodjudgment which they are known top055e55.

We were pleased that our previoussuggestion as te organizing a Theolo-gical Society was placed before theHall and that we may expect that itwill meet with its fulfilment. It imayiiot be amiss to remind the members ofthe Hall that to conduct a society wor-.fhy of our reputation and abilities willrequire some sacrifice of work and

turne on the part of all. Each membershould be willing to read a paper if re-

quested, or te be prepared to lead in adiscussion. The suiccess of the venture

depends solely on the co-operation cofthe members. What we lack in num-

bers we must make up in enthusiasniand willingness to assist. If the mat-

ter is flot taken up unanimously it

would be better to let it drop rather

than to, conduct it in an un.worthy

way. But with this hint we feel surethat the matter will receive the sup-

port of every member of the Pope'sfiock and that we can organize asociety second to none in the Univers-ity in point of usefulness.

The habit of coming late to classesis becoiniing so chronic in the Hallthat it would not be amiss for us aIl topractice ptunctuality in this as in othermiatters. There is, however, a wordof excuse. Not a few take classes inArts at the 9 o'clock hour, and it isdifficuit to get over to our own build-ing beforc the 10 o'clock classes com-mence. This (lifficulty miglit be over-corne if the Professors lecturing aitthat hour woulcl allow a few minutesgrace ratier than be interrupted in theopening exercises of the class. ThePope will doubtfless issue a bull tocover cases of neglect in this import-ant duty -on -the part of bis subjects.

DR. SULLIVAN'S JUBILEE.

IT is just fifty vears ago this Autumnsince Hon. Dr. Sullivan, "the

1Iedical Premiier of O)ntario," as hehas been justly styled, entered thestudy of medicîne at Quleen's College.Dr. Sullivan is a native of Killarney,Cotinty Kerry, Ireland, but when veryyoung inimigrated with bis parents toCanada. He was educated at LoyolaCollege, Montreal, and RegiopolisCollege, Kingston, and after complet-ing bis prirnary studies enteredQueen's Medîcal College in 1854, f romw'hich he was graduated in 1858. Hisrnarked ability and untiring energy atbis work have placed him among theforemiost medical men of Ontario. In1865 he was appointed Lecturer ofAnatomy at Queen's; in 1866 he waschosen as a member of the OntarioCouincil, and in 1885 he received theappointment to the Senate of Canada.

During the North-West Rebellionhe served his country as Purveyor-

General, looking after the sick andwounded and distributing contribu-tions of varions articles of comfortand Iuxury sent to, the soldiers. Hiswork xvas so well donc that on thefloor of the House of Commons hewas publicly accorded the thanks ofthe people of Canada by the Ministerof Militia.

In 1890 he was appointed to theChair of Siirgery, a position which hehas hield most creditablv ever since.His ready Irish wit and genial mannerhave won him the hearts of the medi-cal students, who join in wishing himmany long years of health and happi-ness.

At the regular meeting of the Aes-culapian Society, Friday, Oct. 28, thechanges in the Constitution as propos-ed by Mr. Sproule were unanimouslyadopted. Hereafter the House Com-mittee are not only to look after thefurniture in the Medical Building, butalso to sec that tlie building itself bekept dlean, and any student foundguilty of damaging property or mak-ing himself a public nuisance to hisfellow-studcnts by expectorating onthe floors will be severely punished bythe Concursus. For some years pastthe condition of the Medical Buildingbas been anything but satisfactory;somne few students have persisted intaking privileges which did not belongto them, so it was realized by aIl thatthis was the only way of getting overthe difficulty. We trust that themedicals will unite to sec that the lawsof the Constitution are enforced andthat the unsanitary practice of expec-torating within the College is comn-pletely stopped.

THE LATE DRZ. T. J. 0'RIELLY.

Witýh feelings of deepest regret weannounce the death of Dr. ThomasO'Rielly, who died suddenly at Gra-venhurst Sanitariunm in October. Dr.O'Rielly was a native of Placenta,Ncwfoundîand, and graduated f romnQueen's in 1902, but owing to failinghealth he was neyer able to practicethe profession of bis choice. H-is class-mates of '02 will hear of bis deathwith regret, and he is the first break inthe year.

Un Saturday evening, Nov. 5th, avery successful operaýtion was per-formed and in order that the ýorigin-ators and performers thereof shouldjustify beyond a doubt their dlaim toits invention, it was carried on in fullview of the public. The operationwas certainly a new one in the historyof surgery and will no doubt bc band-ed down to posterity as a piece ofwork at once successful and unique-it will shine like a jewel miagnificentin a hitherto undevised sctting-notonly by its brilliancy, attracting andholding the attention of tbe favorcdspectators, but also by its peculiarlyfavourable issue demonstrating ýthat anew stride in professional skill hadbeen taken. The 'students of '0ûQueen's (Medical Department) needflot wait to put in long years ofarduous apprcnticeship to createnames for themselves-from the saidbrilliant feat a halo of fame will for-ever surround thieir names when re-corded a few hundred years bence inthe magnificent quarto volume of"The World's Grcatest."

QUEEN's 21, TORONTO 10.IN Toronto on Oct. 29th, Queen'smade another stride towards tbe

championsbip with a decisive andwell-earned victory over the blue andwbiýte by 21-10, a greater majoritythan we had ailowed ourselves to, hopefor. Toronto bad .explained their de-feat at McGili's bandsby "lack of con-ditiýon," but with the thrce weeks'practice since, proîihesied great re-suits. But the blue, red and y.ellowcould not be witbstood. The wveatberwas favourabie with the blinding sunnicely hidden, and a splendid crowdwas present. Queen's littie bunch ofrooters sbowed up well in marked con-trast to the sulent hundreds of Toron-to students. The Principal was pre-sent, enjoying the game, and bis inter-est was much appreciated by the boys.

During tbe first 'haif Queen's didn'tshow bier strength, and except for afew minutes at the beginning piayedmostly on the defensive, though keep-ing ber opponents well in chieck. Ourbalves apparently hadn't shaken thern-selves and Toronto, by placing berscrimrnagers on the wings, broketbrougb our line continually, thougbQueen's tactics soon stopped this.

But in the second haif Qu'een's gotbusy and passed Up a splendid brandof bail. Her haives gathered in every-thing and alrnost invariably returnedToronto's punts for gains. Theygained many yards by accurate pass-ing and quick combination runs-some of their performances being sen-sational. Toronto showed up poorlyin this respect, but caughit and kickedweil.

Toronto played with the wind andthe siope of the field the first half butCould flot pile up a score. For a fewminutes the bail was in their territoryandi then drifted down into Queen'shaif. Helped by free kicks they oftengot near the line, but Queen's team.-Play invariably put them back. AtIength on a penalty Souitham scored arouge. A little later Quieen's full-back failed to clear quickly enoughand was sboved back for a safety. An-other rouge in this haîf feul to Toron-to through a free kick by Southani,an(l baîf-time found the score 4-0.

A teamn of Qtleen's tennis playersaccompanied the Rugby men to To-ronto and had an interesting contestwith Toronto 'Varsity club. Queen'srepresentatives were B. 0. Strachan,Prof. Campbell, R. A.

In the singlesonly Prof. Campbell was successful,winning f rom the Toronto championby 7-5, 6-O, white Wilson and Donnelialone won their doubles. In view ofthe difficulties uinder which our Ten-nis Club bas laboured in the past, wefeel amply satisfied with their show-ing.

IN the current numbers of "concor-diensis" an alumnus of Union

College deplores the predominence offraternity spirit over coilege spirit.

Union has ten Greek Letter Societiesand each member of these, it is saidsacrifices everything, including tbe

best interests of bis college for the

apparent bonor of bis fraternity. To

quote tbe writer, "tbe generai belief

of the 'frat' man, at least from bis

attidude, seems to be that the coilege

exists for the fraternity. Deals whicb

would have done credit to Boss Tweed

are made ail for the paitry honor that

one of bis fraternity sbould be some

class officer. Games are iost that one

of bis own may play in that game."

Union is not the onlv coilege in which

fraternities have proved tbemselves a

nuisance. In Missouri they have be-

corne so ohnoxious as to cail for state

interference and have been abolishedhy an act of the Legisiature. For-

tunately Queen's is almost free from

such organizations and a 'frat.' sym-

MOUNET-SULLY'S "HAMLET."

JN a letter dated October lOth, Mr.IW. L. Grant, who is now studying

at the University of Paris, gives bis

impression of the great French trage-

dian, Mounet-Sully in "Hamlet,"

comiparing himn with Forbes Robert-

son. He writes:"The version given is that of Alex-

andre Dumas, père, and P. Meuirice

written in 1874, after Victor Hugo

and the Romanticists had conquered

the old regard for the uinities. It fol-

lows Shakespeare closely, though of

course slîortening it a little for stage

purposes. At the same time the

French tragedian has this advantage

over the English, that the play began

êt eight, and went on with very brief

pauses till after midnight, a length up

to which an EngLish audience is not

yet educated. O0ù the other hand, the

French version is of course inferior as

literatuire to the English. It is wholly-save for the snatches of song sung

by Ophelia, etc.-in rhymned Alexan-

drines, a medium at its best inferior

to blank verse; nor have the authors,

houind stili by French stage traditions,

dared to take the sublinme liber.ty of

Shakespeare, and to miingle prose

with their verse. Even the gravc-dig-

gers talk in Alexandrines. The medi-

um is thus not only less flexible, but

even in the higher passages ýcannot

risc to the saine heighits. Compare,-

*Unhotisel'd, disappointed. inan-

el'd'with

'Et pécheur, je mourus sans prêtre,sans prière,

Sans extrême onction, sanis regard

en arriere.'andl(

'A littie more than kin, and less

fhan kind'with

' Un peu plus que cousinUn peu mns pue fils.'

"StilI, the translation is good, andlie wvas helped bv the magnificent

staging. The Theatre Français is, as

youl know, given a large subsidv by

the Republic, and spares no expense.The characters were frankly dressed

as French gentlemen of the time of

Henry IV. or Louis XIII., i.e., of thetimie of Shakespeare. The halls werelike those of an early French chateau,withi one or 'two white niarble statuesin niches. 1 must say that this seemis

to Ilie the best Solution of tlied(iffictilty.It is ÏInlossible to tell wheu Shak-

speare tloi()glit H-ainlet lived, if inde'

lie ever bothered his head about the

matter. It is imp1 ossible to synchro-nise a play in which, on the one hand,

"But iii whatever centuiry or atmnos-phere Hamiet lived, it was certainly aclignified one, and to represent himi asa Norse cbieftain of early days is tofalsify the whole play. I1 have neyerseen this (lone iii Hamilet, but there isa rmovemnent toward this end in Eng-land, masking itself uinder the naineof bistorical fidelity. 1 have îieverforgotten my sensations on seeingMacbeýth sitting on a primitive stool,dressed in a radier ina(leqIiate kilt andrnuncbing a raw vegetable, apparentlva turnip. The savage chieftain toldof in the chronicle frorn which Shake-speare drew lus material may havedone this, but Shakespeare bas liftedhirn into a different atmosphere. Soin the same way 1 quite approve of theTheatre Français in Puitting thie kingand the nobles into court dress ofLouis XIII. This is specially happy,becauise while at that time they dress-ed magnificently, wigs lbad flot con-iein and so the actors wear their haircomparatively short.

"One or two Curious changes aremade. The first, typically French, isthaýt the love affair of Hamilet andOphelia is made i-uch more imnport-ant. Ophelia is a typical Frencliingenue amoureuse. When Laertestells hier flot to be seen too often inHamlet's company, she poits in:'Ecouites le prince est un danger, selon

vous;Est-ce si perilleux, vraiment, quand

c'est si doux,'

And at the en(l of the scelne she goes()lt "'th lsel bands, inturnîuiringbersef : Z t

'Je Il'aime ; il ni 'amnie oh01, qune je suisheureuse !'

"Elainlet too is represente(l as mutchmiore (leel)ly iu love withl-iber thanl inthe original. Tbis leads to a very unt-happy chan 'ge in the scene wvhereHlaiet uirges bier, with whiat niay ai-mnost bc called sa rdonic humour, '1 etthece to a niinuîerý,,' this is turne(l mbita passionate appeal bliat Shie shouild (10so. I lanîlet, fiuuling his aI)leal unistic-cessful, rushes off the stage, stilishiotii, 'au couvent! No less thanfour timies after lie liad left the stage,one heard lus voîce as lie wxeut d0xvnthe corridor, at first lotid, then ildiuigaway-'\u it'ouveit !'-a pause, - aucouvent !' andl 50 on fotur tiînes. Theeffect \vas to mie almiost ludicrous. Soun the mnad secne, wvbich was miagnifi-cently (loie, an(l in whicu bbc transia-tion is seen at its best, love for I[aietis madle even more than the death ofPolonitis, the cauise of lier inadnless.

"Two other changes miade, seemi tomie, if I miay criticise Shakespeare, iîm-provenients froin the point of viewv ofstage effect. Laertes is sent at bbcbegininig, not to France but as one ofthe anibassadors to Nor\vay, whercby nuîngled adloress anol flrmuness liewins great credit, thus to a certain ex-tent preparing the way for the cry ofthe niob in Act IV, 'Laertes shiaîl beking.'

"So too, i is not Laertes vhio sig-gests tlîat hie wîll 'anoint miy sworol'witlî poison, but t1e king wlîo suig-gests ut to Iiîuni. Laertes at first repelsthe suggestion, sayhîg bhiat lie liascone as avenger, liot assassin. Nordoc- lie consent tilI the queen cornes in


xvith news of the (leatil of ()phelia,ývhich, iindirectly at least, cile toHamlet, induces hînii to consent to thekinigs plot.

"The sceîîe iii the last act wherethey fighit, and excbiange rapiers, xvasrnaîîaged xvithi great iinnity. 1 re-nienhl)cr wv'hcn 1 first read the play bowimiprob)able stncl an exchiange appcar-cd to nic. Nor did I'orles Robertsonmake it at ail life-like. Wbat is donc1at the Theatre Français is this: I11 theb)out H anilct is wonn(lde(, presses bisband to bis si(le, an(I \ith(lrawing it,secs tbe blood. lu studden rage lierushes on Laertes, and in the enisinigbout disarnis ini, the Wveapon fallingat sonme (distance, near tbe feet ofIlauîlct's second, I Ioratio.

This inay inîan one of twot1îings :-Either Ilanîilet sniddenly re-collects that tbis is bis friend, andwisbces an act of courtesy, or wbiat ismore likely-feeling inîiseif wolind-cd, andi suspectîng treachery, lie seesbis clîanc,- of pavling back Laertes inbis oil coin. [nt eitber interpretation,it gets very skilfully over a difficuitpicce of business.

Tothcuîî lie viclded to an extent alîîostrepuignant to our colder, northernttemj)eramnelt. Vv'hen 'le first sees thegiiost, lie ieaps forward, 'vith biandsouitstretched, and his cry of 'Père,'lengthenied ont into a wail of P-e-e-e-r-r-r-e!' Wben tbe gbost tells irin ofbis tincle's guiît, be fails first on bisknlees, and then on bis face, wbiere lielies wit'h bis face hidden, his wvhoiefranie throbbing witb enotion. Whcnthe ghiost finally says 'Sotivièns-toi!antI disappears, Hatulet witb a sintl(ierilig nioan, rouls over on his back,cluitchies wildiy at bis tiîroat and beart,and faiîîts. So in tbe scene witli bisnother, 'Look on this picture and on

that,' iii wbichi the gbost appearsagain, lie tlistiuictly tore the passion totatters, raving auîd sobbing iniarticii-iately.

"1Nor canl lie be calle(i a ranter, for1 bave seen Iiiini also in Victor Hugo's'IHeriiuaui,' a p)art giving great tenipta-tions to a ranter, but whicli Monnet-Sully played with a reserve and a dig-


nity worthy of ail praise. No, theothet is evi(lently hi s conception ofHamiet.

"The play scene was very good.One curions bit of 'business' was thatthe play-king was distinctly dressed toresemble the ghost, thiereby even moredirectly hitting at tb e ig.ForbesRobertson left mie distinctly at a losswby the king c>ul(l lic sai(l by Rosen-crantz and( (ituildcnsternl to bc mioved' rather witb clioler' tban with anyotlier enliotidu ;-uinless indeed thenîcre fact of lamilet having put sucha play on the stage bc considered suffi-cient to enrage tbe king agaînst him.Mounet-Sully lefi nie in no such doubt..;s t'lie play witbin the play proceedcd,bie wriîlîed across tbe stage from thefeet of ()phelia where hie had beenlyiig-unlnoticed, because ail eyes arefixed on the play-and thýen suddenlyin uincontrollable emotion, rises to hisfeet, rigbit in front of the king, andhisses at bini, with a totich of lauiglterin bis voice, \ et in inost horrid earn-est, 'He poisons imii in the garden forlus estate,' etc. It was mnost impres-sive, an(l certainly showed why the'king was angry at lus beblaviour.

"We (iscussed several tirnes thecharacter of Polonius, You remem-ber my. theory tlîat he was an oldstatesnian,' now grown old and senile,probably at bis best more remarkablefor cuinning than for far-sigbted intel-ligence, but stili one who had seen'Cities and men, and forms of goverfi-

Polonius is simply or entirely a '.tedi-ous old fool,' who gives the comic re-lief supplied laýter by the grave-dîg-gers. Hlamlet plays with him, butwitb a great deal of suppressed irrita-tion, tilI lie finally loses ail patience,an(l rushes at bim witb the apparentintention of kicking him, Poloniusfleeing precipitately. This cornes al-inust near to low coniedy, as does thesceile wbere lie reads to the king andqueen Haînlet's letter to (iphelia,

'Douibt that the stars are fire;Douibt that the sun doth move,' etc.

Before doing this, lie carefully drewont and adjusted on bis nose a largepair of eye-glasses, bound with blackborn, and peered at the letter throughthese like a species of benevolent bird,his neck craned forward, the lettershaking in bis hand."

Mr. Grant closes bis irteresting let-ter witb a single word about himself:

"The University lectures do flot be-gin tilI Nov. lst here, but 1 amn read-ing bard. In the evening 1 bave gonea number of times to the theatre, find-ing it the best and most interestingand cheapest way of accustoming mycar to the language. Throughout theday I am reading French history."

Mr. Grant suggest-ed that probably the description of"Hamllet" as playe(l by the greatFrench tragedian wotuld ýbe interestingto, the members of the Dramatic Club,but as the subject is really of interestto a rnucb wider constituency, we arepleased to be able to print it in the col-unins of the JOURNAL.


A BIOGRAPIIICAL SKETCH 0FJOHN CHARLTON.JOHN Charlton is the son of the

late Michael Charlton, whio enîi-grated to America f rom Northumber-land, England, in 1825. He was bornat "Whieatlands," near Caledonia,N.Y., Feb. 3, 1829, and was edulcatedat the McLaren Grammnar School ofCaledonia, and at Springville Acade-iny, New York. He trietl clerking,law andI newspaper work in rapid suc-cession, bu)lt on renioving to Canada in1849, lie gave himself nip to farmn lifeand spent four vears on his fatlier'sfarm nlear the village of Ayr. In 1853he went to Lynedoch, whiere lie open-ed a general store in partnership \vithGeo. Gray. [il 1859 hie was l)lacetl incharge of the Canatlian business of theextensive lumber firni of Smnith &Westover of Tonawancla, N.Y., and in1881 lie embarked iii the saine busi-ness on his own accouint. fil thisbusiness, in which hie is still activel\engaged, hie bas been miost succes9ftnl,and lie is now cotinted one of the

lnumber p)rinces" of thle province.Mr. Charlton is a Liberal in politics

anci began his public career as astatesman in 1872 when hie xvas chosenas the representative of Norfolk Colin-ty for the House of Commions. Thisposition hie continuied to hold withever-increasing popularity until lie

-withdrew from public life before therecent general election.

As a politician and statesman hie ispr >obably best known as a promoter ofmo ral legislation. For niany years hiewrought in Parliament for the passage,of a law affortling protection to xvo-men and girls, and at last stucceeded insecuiring thie adoption of "The Charl-ton'Act" in their behaîf. He also ad-

vocate(l thc hetter observance of theSabbath, arguling that "while the lawcannot conipel n'i, to go to religionsservices that it shtld provide thatmen bc seccured iii the righit to go tochurch, anti have respect for religions(tnties if they desire to (Io so, and thatany le.-islation calcullated to secir,righits of conscience andi religions lib-ertv is flot onlv proper but desirable.",MIr. Charlton considers rest from la-hor o11 Sninday a civil riglit and liebases hlis advocacy of the bill nponthat assiiml)tion andtilpo)01 the fnrtherassuiiil)tioIl that the state niav lroper-ly seek l)y legislation to I)roimote themoral, lihysical and intellectnal inter-ests of the people. The bill passedthe Connnons in 1894- and amongother things forbidden, it J)rolbbts thepub11lication ani sale, of Stinday papers.

iM/r. Chiarltonl has great faithi in thefuture of his adopted country andamis to mnake it a niodel Chiristian na-tion. lie uirges Canadians to 'lay thefoutiations of Canada's welfare injustice, and to build uip the superstruc-ture in honesty anti trulth; to believeiii its possibîlities anti labor for its fuj-ture, antI to consecrate the high privi-leges of ci'tizenislip to the cause of pa-triotisnm, tt)- eninitv of political base-ness antI corruption andI to lofty andpur political ideals." He believesthat ouir geographIical position rendersthe cultivation of friendly politicaland commercial relations with theUnited States of prime importance,not only to ourselves but to GreatB-Jritailn as well.

As a restilt of this faithi he has ad-vocatetl a retînctitin of the cuistonîsantI an extensiv'e rcciprocity of traie.01n suchi subjects Mr. Charlton is welltjualifietl to sp)ealç. Referring tol him,Sir WVilfrid Laurier says: "It is


(ioubtfui wchitlier aniy public man inCanada is better informied on tariffandi trade questions."

.li matters of trade, as we havepointed ont, the great aimi of bis lifeprobably was to secuire better trade re-lations between the United States anidCanada, ami alt'hough lie seemis tohave acconip1 lislie( little iii this dli' -tion, yet tiiere is no dotibt thiat bis per-sistenît axi(l nntiringy efforts xviii event-tialiy effect sonie good restults. lie liasla.bored on both si(les of the line forthis end, an(l we are inifornicd that bislabors, in tbe UJnited States, in par-ticular, have b)orne abunldant fruits.This work was comnîexxeced iii Chica-go in 1898 wlien 1\r. Charlton ad-dressed the Merchants' Club in thatcity. Since then he bas given Ulpmuch of bis time for Ibis purpose andbas addressed Clubs, iBoards of Trade,Mercbants' Excbanges, etc., ln Chica-go, Boston, Detroit, New York, Cleve-land, Buffalo and other cities. li De-cernber, 1902, lie bieid a speciaiiy iiag-nificent meeting in Detroit wben beaddressed the National ReciprocityConvention and be was greeted with asimilar gathering wbien lie spoke be-fore the Boston Chamber of Coin-merce in 1903. Few men lu Caniadabave put forth as great efforts to es-tablish friendly relations betwecn theAnglo-Saxon peoples in America.

Besides bis faithifui devotion to luscouintry, Mr. Charlton has taken avery de ep interest in the affairs of thePresbyterian Chutrclb. At the meetingsDf the General Assenmbly for mianvyears be 'las foughit liard lu favor oftbe Consolidation of the TheologicalSehools, bis ainm beinig to mnake Mou-treai, Queeni's and Knox into 'onegreat Tbeoiogicai Seminary thorough.ly equipped iu every deparînuent. AI-

thouigh there seemled to be înucb, wis-doni lu this scheine it is doubtful if itis at ail practicahie at present, in spiteof tlue immense saving that would betlhus effected an(1 tie greater efficiencythus rendered possible in the surviviugi nstituition.

At tbe General Assembiy in 1902 be(ieiivered a short but effective addressagainist tue sectilarizing of Queen'sUniversity'. Mr. Charlton objected hothe surrender of the Pres'byteriauUI.niversity andi argue( that hlie policyof tbe churcbi shouild be rather one ofaffiliation witbi Theological Scbioois toniiake Queeni's a strong force underthe conîrol and direction of thechuircl. The Assenibiy did not gowitb hlm entireiy on Ibis occasion,buit, wlien the question was againbrouight uxp in Vancouver in 1903, hieagain took a vigorous stand againstletting the University slip away fromthe Chuircli. The speech deiivered ontbis occasion was one of tbe abiest heever delivered before the Generai As-sembiy, and the Chu.rcb decided hostand1 by thie University and to give itsubstantial aid. Mr. Charlton liasproven bis sincerity ln Ibis question ina very unmistakable manner by pro-mising to endow a chair in tbe Uni-versity. This act is fuhlly lu keepingwith th e clharacteristic genuinenessand broad-minded liberality of thethorongli philanthropisý, patriot andchurclinian that lie, throughout bislife, lias always been.

During the past thirty years Mr.Charlton 'lias served bis country, in apublic capacity lu miany importantxvays. Sirice 187'2 lie lias been a veryactive Parlianientarian and Statesman,a man of fine eîtiusiasxîî and soundpracticai juxdgnient. He was Chair-muani of the Royal Mining Commission


of O)ntario in 1 889 and was in the

joint High Commission in 1898. Herendered rnuchi valuable service to the

land of bis adoption, and did muichwork, against great odds, whicli basnot returned to imn the praise it mer-its; bis influence was always on tlic

side of rigbiteouisness and the generalbetterment of the nation and people,and it is to bc regretted tbat owing to

failing health lie bias been comipelledjust recently to retire fromi public life.But since lie can. no longer serve us in

a public way we are glad to notice

tbat lie is going to permit Morang &Co. to publisbi a -volume of bis

speeches and lectures; for in this way

hie may continue to exercise a great ini-

uence over the public mmid and mi-ar-

als. Among lis publisbed addresses,whicli are to be issued by Cliristmnas

time, is the speech regarding Qucen's

University, delivcred before the Gen-

eral Asscmbly at Vancouver. This initsclf should make the book very in-

tercsting to both Queen's and the

Chu rch.Mr. Charlton now resides at bis

beautiful country borne, the "Twin

Oaks," at Lynedoch, tlic geographicalcentre of Norfolk County, wbicli is

one of the imost deliglitful localities in

Western Ontario. Tbere, on Novem-

ber 4th, last, Mr. and Mrs. Charlton

cclcbrated the fiftietb annivcrsary of

their wedding day, amid the rejoicings

of their countlcss host of friends.

They are a couple, ripe in years and in

wisdom, and ricli in flic affection of all

TH-E FINE ARTS IN QUEEN'S.

W E have fot got a Fine Arts de-partnient in Quicen's yet I

amn afraid tliat is stili sonrie dlistance inithe future-but wc have stirrings inthat direction andl are doing wThat wecan to keep alive the tradlition of thatkind of culture. Quite recently, underthe auspices of the Ladies' MusicalClub, we biad Prof. Dyde lecturing onWagner withi illustrations on the pianoby Miss Muriel King, and last week,owing to the efforts of the saineSociety, we liad a series of lectures onthe great (;erinan coniposer's works bythe wcll known Mr. Rubin (ioldmark.M\r. Goldmiark is a miaster iii bis ownstyle of exposition whicb combines inian almnost equal (legree the art of musi-cal interpretation on the piano and the

faculty of the popular lecturer. Seat-cd at the piano bie explains in wellchosen words the character of thethieme or motive lic is about to illus-trate, and it is but justice to say thatthe suavity and eloquence of bis com-mientary combine most agreeably witlibis finely sympatlbetic rendering ofWagner's music. Those wbo werepresdnt will not easily forget those sixperformances in the old ConvocationHall, especially the great Nibelungentctralogy. Tbiat tetralogy is one ofthe truc epical works of our age, pre-senting the great epic themes of "pro-vidence, foreknowledgc, will and fate,"in the vivid form of a musical draina,hieroic cbords of Fate and Doom andTitanic conflict sotinding with imprcss-ive powver througli th 'e mnythical crea-tions of old Tetitonie and Scandina-vian epos. Wagner bas mouldedthese old Northern mytbs to bis own

l)Irpose withi a master's band. Theheroic race of the Volsungs whomWotan loves but must treat relentless-


ly. 1.oki, industrious fire-god, withhis harsh, uncouth imitations of thegreat mielodies of nature; and( Fafner,the giant, who turns himself into adragon, poor (levil, to guard his gold.In ail that one sees the profound ethi-cal intention which underlies the artof Wagner.

In another sphere of art, also, wchave been shoxvîng some actîvîty.During thec last two years we have hadoccasional lectures on the greatpainters f rom some of the pro-fessors, who temiporarily abandon-ed Ilegelian (lialectic, or the sphinx'sri(ldle of the tariff, or the abyssmnaldepths of J3rowning's psychologicaldrarna, to expouind the manner inwhich a Durer, a Micheclangelo and aCorot express their thouglits aboutlife. And now, owing to the happyinspiration of a group of ladies closelyconnected with the UTniversity, thewalls of our new Arts class-rooms,hitherto undecorated cxcept xvithi thesevere mathemnatical beauty of Prof.Dupuis' diagrams and the picttiresqueconfusion of miediaeval Europe asshown in Prof. P'erguson's maps, haveblossomed forth with ail the glories(photographically reproduced) of thePitti Palace and the Louvre. In plainwords sorne two hutnclred excellent re-productions of the great mnasters inpainting have been 'hung in the differ-ent Arts class-rooms of the new build-ing.

Onlly a part of the collection, how-ever, can be permanently retained atpresenýt, perhaps flot more tlîan twen-ty-five or thirty pictures at niost. Thefunds for tlieir purchase are providedfrom the receipts of the series of pub-lic lectures on Shakespeare whichProf. John Marshall kindly consented

to deliver for this purpose; and thereis every reason to hope, that a similarexperimieut will bc equally successfulnext year, wlhen new purchases will benmad(e.

In the meantirne it is perhaps justas well that our permanent collectionshouilc be restricted to a limited num-ber of carefuilly chosen pictures. Theobject of tle ladlies who are counected\with this ufl(lertaking is not to bangi) the distracting variety and numberof paintings whic'h one usually en-couinters in a picture gallery, but toencourage a thouightful and studiotusappreci ition of art. With this viewsuitable books on the history of paint-ing and condensed notices of thegreat miasters, adapted to the natureof this collection, have been placed inthe varions class-rooms for the con-venience of students.

The student who has not much pre.vious acquaintance with art will do\visely to confine bis attention to oneor two pictures at a time, and afterreading something about them, tocorne back to them often, in the hopethat sorne day that "blessed mood"will overtake hirnwhen the finer visionannounces itself and the mystery ofart and the subtle meaning of themiaster suddenly become apparent to

imii. Everyone knows the profitless-uess of walking hiaîf a mile through agallery of pictures. A critie may makesoine uiseful notes on technique thatway, but it is rarely thiat anything ever"flashes on the inward eye" in suchcircunistances.

It is a drawback, of course, that thecolouriuig of the original is not repre-sente(l in reproductions of this kind,and atmnospheric toues and distance inlandscape only very ineffectively, butstill the expressional value of the liýie,

THE CONFERENCE.

T luIS year the Alumni Conferencewas particularx- good. The ad-

dresses were carefully prepared andthe discussions following were exceed-ingly keen and spirited. The enthui-siasmn evinceti by ail concerned wasthe chief characteristic of the wholeweek. Tbe union of Science, Philo-sophy and Theology in these Confer-ences niakes them. very broad, veryvital and at the same time very stimu-lating. With Professors Watson,Shortt and Dyde on the programme, itis flot difficult to tinderstand why menuinhcsitatingly assert that the Queen'sConference is far in advance of any-thing of its kind in Canada in point ofbreadth, interest, andI heipfulness. Vis-itors wonider at the f ree interchangeof opinions and at the free interm-ing-ling of the varionis departmrents inthese conferences; but to us it wotildbe more suirprising if this were flot so.The tmost liberality andi freedom of

thorouighly competent man engagedon a good salary and set to work onthis for a mnmber of years. Somesystemn imst be put into the scheme onthe practical side as well as on the,larger theoretical side. The Univers-ity has acted most wisely in relievingthe Principal of his class duties for ayear, that lie may devote ail hîs ener-gies to this work, but we need Princi-pal Gordon for a hundred other thingsas well, and it may well be questioned,whether it is either wise or fair toplace uipon hlm the additional practi-cal burden of sectiring the actualfunds. His assistance will be invalu-able and ail bis spare moments fullyoccupied with the larger, though Iesspractical aspects, of the scheme.

Furthermiore, we mig'ht make boldenoughi to suggest to the Presbyteriestbroughouit the land that, wbile reso-lutions and expressions of sympathyare very fine and encouraging, yet theendowment of the Churcli Universitydemands somietbing very much moresubstantial than that. Some onemust "rtistle" for the dollar and thesuccess of the scheme depends on thecompetence of that individuial. Per-haps this man should be appointed bythe General Assembly itself since theUJniversity is now under the protectionof that body.

Several presbyteries, we are informn-ed, have taken the question vigorouslyin hand and have a complete organi-zation of most enthusiastic men whohave already secured a considerableportion of the amount aimed at.We wish them every succeSS inl theirwork, for it means much ta the futureefficiency of Queen's. The church hasa valuable asset in the university, andits worth can best be retained by ini-creasing its power by means of liberal

gifts. The university itself is just agreat gîft to, the church and ta theccotuntry.

EDITORIAL NOTES.What do you think of the opposi-

tion lecturer? Attempts ta avoidconflict have proven futile. Even theChancellor's Lecturer did flot escape.

The JOURNAL has been the recipientof rnany fine compliments framn friendsfar and near. The Grant Hall num-ber has corne in for a very large shareof these which we feel has abundantlyjustified the uindertaking. We aremuch gratified ta find sa many of aurfriends autside of the University talc-ing such genuine interest in aur pub-lication.

All social functions, such as "con-versats" dinners, banquets, etc., shauldbe held in the callege. The universitywants themi held there. But a woadstove, with a pipe stuck thraugh a win-dow, is an intalerable nuisance. TheA. M. S. sliould at once ask the trus-tees ta run a gas-pipe inta that darkraom an the first floor, sa that catererscauld use gas staves for these affairs.

The university needs two crossingson University Avenue-aone leading taGrant Hall entrance and one ta thewalk between that and Ontario Hall.These places beconie almost impassiblein saft weather during the winter, notta mention the spring and faîl, andsurely where four or five hundred stu-dents pass an an average af four timesdaily, it may be canceded that theyhave same dlaimn an the city coun-cil ta procure such crossings at thesePoints as will make it passible for themnta get ta and f rom their classes with-'Out endangering their health by wad-ing ankle-deep in water just befarethey reach the buildings.

We are glad ta receive letters andarticles on live tapics, but the size ofthe JOURNAL compels ils tro insist thatthese be brief and pointed. A letter,of interest nmainly ta Arts students,say, must nat occupy as much spaceas is allotted ta the Arts editor. Thisweek we received two articles of valuebath too long for aur space, while tathe one, no name, except a pseudonym,xvas attached. Now, while an articlemay be published over a nom de plume,it is essential that we know the narneof the authar.

The JOURNAL delegate ta the '06 AtHome reports a most enjoyable time.Tlie At Home was heid on the grouindfloor of the New Arts Building. Danc-ing took place iii the reading roomand promienading in the hall, while re-freshiments were served in the juniorphilosophy room. The other roonmson this flat were nicely fitted up forsitting-aut purposes. The At Homewas a success ini every way and theJunior Year is ta, be cornplimented onhaving salved the problemn of makinga year At Home an enjoyable affairwhile holding it within proper bounds.

THEATRE NIGHT.ANOTHER accaunt of theatrenighit is ta be found in its awn

place; this one may seem needless.But it is well that a matter of such im-portance as theatre night should becansidered from mare than aone pointof vîew ta motuld the reader's impres-sion inta a well rounded whole. Thisaccauint is written from the point ofview of the women students. The factthat they have any view of the mattermay, indeed, cause surprise among

(nTI Vr 7zAý L7~T7 DeTr1 CI ilfil,,n


those who, in time of trouble, clungdesperately to the excuse: "We didn'tthink the ladies took any interest intheatre night"-was the wish fatherto the thought?

At ail events, the girls-nearly asrnany proportionately, as the men-did take such an interest in theatrenight as to attend it. But the truth ofthis seerne to the nlanaging coin-mittee as nothing ini comparison withthe strangeness of it, and, when fittingspace had been secured for the menstudents of ail faculties, the girls wereleft in the matter of getting seats tothe freeclom of their own will. If thatwill happened to collide with that ofthe deus ex machina, the managingcommittee-ah well! the committeewould flot suifer.

Amiong the girls some few energetieenthusiasts, holding that certain prom-ises made to themn and lightly brokenwere flot to be so lightly let go, holding to the strange opinion that someslight consideration was due them asmembers of the student body, venturedto approach the Arts representative onthe committee. It is a great thing tobe on a committee, a greater to be butone among others, a possible majority,for then the plausible excuse, "thecommittee would flot stand for it," isa tower of defence against suggestionsand protests. This sure resort of thehard-pressed, along with pointed re-marks to the eifect that, to say noth-ing of the Arts men, "Medicine andScience might kick at having the lad-ies in the balcony"-an imputationscornfully rejected, to their credit beit said, by the men of the imptignedfacuilties, when too late, however, in-duced the girls, perhaps over-sensitive,to withdraw their request. Althoughbrought up again by some few men

wlio saw the injustice of the tbing,those w'ho remarked with cheerfulresignation that "it was too bad, but itwas too late now," had it their ownway, and considered that the able andclelicate suggestion to aid the girlsfinancially in securing seats, outsidethe college pale, should be gratefullyregarded by themn as ample compen-sation.

To speak of the evening itself. Blue,red and yellow, worn by the actors,hung about the curtain, boxes, andbalcony, and clutched in the nervelessfingers of the Medicals' gruesome pet,proclaimied that the thleatre was en fêteiii honour of Queen's." 0f the doingsof the students in the balcony it is notpossible to speak with authority, foralthough the Arts representative hadstrenuiotsly protested to the contrary,from the seats downstairs occupied bythe outcast girls, there was, as was ex-pecte(l, no view of those that wereabove. But it is believed that theiractions were lu no small degree amus-ing-songs and yells were given withheartiness, and the solo of the evening,the parody, "took" well, the girls beingespecially pleased with the magnan-imous reference to themselves.

While the play was going it waseasy to forget everythîng else., Theaction was slighit but well-directed,and deep meaning was put into it bythe actress's interpretation. By herartistic simplicity, hier charm and easeof manner, by the powerful natural-ness with.whichi she threw berself intobier part and made it live, she fascin-ated alI who saw and heard her. AI-though a star, she did not shine aloneamong mere satellites; she was ablysupported and interest was keen to thevery end.

seemed possible that students couldhave any desire to carry out a rivalprogramme during the acts, but as thisthing has happened, it was pleasant tonotice that the behavior of the deni-zens in the balcony towards the actorson tbe stage was beyond criticism. If itinvolved any sacrifice or self control, itwas well worth while, flot only to makea stranger feel pleased and gratified atthe appreciation of lier efforts and thegentlemanly treàtment given bier, butalso to give critical citizens an oppor-tunity of seeing college men in a happylight.

THE ALUMNAE TEA.

On the afternoon of Wednesday,November the nintb, the girls of thegraduating class were entertained bytbe Alumnoe Society at a tea given atthe bhorne of Miss Fowler, UnionStreet. Miss Sinclair, of Ottawa, reada most uiseful and belpful paper on"How to judge pictures," after wbicba musical programme was givenwbicb was much enjoyed by ahl.

The faces of some of the graduatespresent recalled to many of us ourfreshie days, and tbe class of girls wbowelcomed us to Queen's, tbus forminga bond of unioivbetween the membersof the s-ociety still at college, and thosewbo biave passed out from bier halls.

At the meeting of the Levana So-ciety beld on T:btrsday, November thetcntb, Miss Annie Macgregor read apaper on "Mendelssohn," wbicb awak-ene(l in tbose wlbo beard it a keenerappreciation of the marvellous comn-positions of this great master.

At the saine mîeeting of thie Society

iMiss Sinclair, of Ottawa, was kindenougli to repeat bier paper read at theAlummiiie tea, in order that ail thecollegre girls iniglît bave the benefit ofit. Thec subjcct, IIow Lu judge pic-turcs," seemc(ld an especially fitting oneto bring before the Society at thepresent tinic, wherc our walls are butngwitb copies of the great masters.

The originals of most of thebest paintings are flot purcbasable;only a Iimiitcd numnber of us are ableto visit tbe world's most famous pic-turc galleries; but ahl of Lis may obtainfor a very smnall sum at least fair copiesof thie originals, from wbicbi we mayinterprct the attor's mieaning ormessage, the soul of thec picture.

Arto.

T HERE is plenty of excitementamong the students now. The

scent of battle is upon them and theadroit manipulator of men is on thewar-path for votes. The contest be-tween the candidates for the Presi-dency of the Aima Mater is keen, asboth are well known and generalfavorites. Surely with the turmoiland tumnuit of the Dominion contestjust gone and the.Provincial battie inthe near future and the College elec-tions in the present no0 one can dlaimthat the times of peace are times ofinertness.

Professor James of Harvard says,in one of his iatest books, that waris a noble thing in that it demandsself-sacrifice and devotion to prin-ciple. The piping times of peace areslothful, and breed corruption andnational degeneracy. War he countsone of the greatest powers to bring anation into rugged, masculine form;and to make it to have due regard forvirtue and honour.

But, as was pointed out in one ofthe Chancellor's .lectures, this sametheory was held for hundreds of yearsby individual members of society inail civilized countries. A man wasconsidered degenerate who would notinstantly demand the life of any one

who imPugned his h onour. Amongthe lower classes this took the formof desperate fist-cuff encounters, andmen fought as savagely as wild beasts.Everyone knows how these ideas havebeen exploded, how men look withcontempt upon those who have nohiglier idea of manhood than to de-base it by wallowing in the road inconflict like mad dogs.

Professor MacNaughton justly com-plains of the low and sordid ideai thatCanada has at present and cites thecase of the Minnie M. and other formsof corruption as proof of his state-ments. lie asks us to note the ex-ample of devotion to the state whichJapan, a heathen nation, is giving tothe world at present. And the re-mark strikes home. We read in thenewspapers stories of matchless loveof country which the young japanesemen are showing-stories that recailthe brave deeds of Wallace and Bruceand Drake and Frosbisher, and Leo-nidas at Thermopylae. Nor can westint our admirafion for the Russianpeasants who are blindly giving theirlives for the "Little Father'' notknowing the reason for the struggle;but judging that it is theirs to quitthem like men for The Fatherland.,Ail this stirs the blood, and makesus proud to belong to a nation thathas given to theworid also so manyheroes.

But just as certainly as men haveabolished duelling as an outgrowthof the dark ages so the nations mustyet beat their engines of war into theimpiements of peace. Anyone wholooks about him i11 the common walksof life must corne to the conclusionthat the courage of peace is of a muchhigher quality than that of war; andthat there are many more .oppor-


tunities in peace to exli bit irtue anddetermination to li'ce noblv. Thegreat industrial and co~mmercialarmies on the sea or the land hiaveproduced and are producing as mari.\trulv heroilc spirits als ever chard inthe Iists or swung the battie-axe orl)road-sword in the ranks.

The bravelv dumb who did theirdeed,

And scorned to blot it wvith a naine,Men of the plain heroic breed,Who loved heaven's silence more

in this connection we may say th-ltail men of enlightenecl mincis wvill i e-joice to know that the indications arethat the United States will sbortlybring in a treaty of arbitration w ithseveral lturopean couintnies amiofgwhom are Great l3ritain and France.Anglophobia is declining in theUjnited States for three reasons:The unmistakahle aid rendered themiby Great I3ritain during the SpanishAmerican War; the magnanimousconduct of the Balfour Governmentin regard to the Irish tenants whicliMr. Wm. O'Brien dlaims lias not beenparalleled in 1itorvy for generosit 'since the famous Edict of Alexanderthe Second of Russai' and' lastly thesettling of -he laska lindary diffi-culty. So there are faint glimmer-ings in the east which show that mnan-kind is about to enter into a new andibrighter day.

Dydle contributedtwo xcrv suggestive andl scholarly pa-


pers on New Testament subjects,which rather opened ail our eyes tothe wicle interests andi scholarsbip ofthat miocest Arts professor. It is ra-ther a xveakness of ours to wisb tha:twe coulci transplant such men forth-with into Divinity Hall. It is due toremiark that in one matter in particu-lar Prof. Dyde quite outshines aIl bisfellow professors and the reverendgraduates as well,-that is in reading.The dclivery of these two papers andalso a certain recent lecture before thef-hilosophical Society slîotld ýbe to nsDivinity studeiits especially, an obje-1tlesson iii the vast possibilities open inthis departmient of our work. This bythe way. Prof. Nicholson took us ona wonder-voyage away back into thedimi past, about 5000 B.C., wbere, hesaid, hie was quite at home, a state-ment which his paper amply justified.Archaeology is intensely interestingandl eqvally mysterious to most of us,and xvc are gla(l to hear that Dr. Jor-clan is to discuss next year one of the1)roblems raised by Prof. Nicholson'spaper.

Probably it would have been moreniocest on ouir part to have mentionedthe papers of our visitors, which in-cleed were very wortby of mention.Rev. Dr. Lyle contributed an able pa-per on The Acts and also lent mucbinterest to the discussion on severaloccasions. In the Old Testament Rev.Mr. Drumm and Rev. Mr. Crummyread valuiable papers on the Period ofthe Judges. Incleed, if space permit-ted we would like to say a word ortwo on aIl the papers. We are pleasedto welcomc Rev. Dr. McTavish, thenew President of the Con ference andthe new Comiiittee.

While we are speaking of the Con-ference we may be permitted to offerone m-odest criticisrn on the generalmun of subjects selected for discussion.They seemi to be in inany cases toolarge and the treatment within thecomipass of a short paper is necessarilyrather superficial. For example, itseenis a rather large order to ask amari to prepare a haîf-bour paper on'The 'Acts. \Vould it not be better tonarrow it down to some such aspect ofthe book as the Development ofChurch (irganization or the CriticalProblemi? Even wben two men aredealing with a subject it could witbadvantage be confined to mucb small-er and more technical questions. Theadvantage is clear botb to the writerof the paper and to the audience.Ratber tban carry away a confusedmass of facts covering several differ-ent prohlenîs, information which toosoon leaves us witb little more than amemory that we had beard such a pa-per read, would it not be mucb betterto have a full discussion of a few ofthe numerous historical, critical ortheological problems which suggesttbemselves in every B3ook of the Bible,

Along the line of good introduc-tions to the several books there is, inmost of our libraries, plenty of goodmiaterial available, but a discussion ofthe more tecbnical and difficult pointsis often very bard to find. The workfor those who contribute papers wouldprobably be increased but the qualityof the papers delivered shows thatthose upon wbom the Conference calîsare not at all afraid of work. At allevents this criticism can do no harmnand is hience humbly submitted.

THEC MEDICAI. COURT.

man was stiflhmone(l to appcar-a cir-cimstance wlhich points clearly to thevirtuie and iniodesty of the MedicalFresh ruen.

On the wliolc the session was verysticccssfuil, but we are of the opinionthat more serious charges should besotight for. l t shouild lie the airu ofthe Court to seelk out offences of thegraver type, that more respect be

given to that worthy body and that anoffender, )e hie Senior or Frcshman,be muade to feel that lie lias been surn-nioned not to lielp fill iii an evexiing'sentertainnient but because lie lias com-mnitteci sorue serions offence against]lis fellow-students. Perhaps therehave been no stucl "crimies" recordedsince College opened this Fali; at anyrate it is to lie hopeci so, but if thercehave been any sticl offenders certain-ly it is the duty of the Detectives to

ferret themn ont and have tlieir casesconsidered at the next sitting of tlieCourt.

'06 AT hiomE.

On Friday eveninig, Nov. 4, the year'0(i, folhiwing the exaniple of theirsenliors, hield a very enjoyable oyster

suipper at the Hotel Iroquois. As the

giiests assenibled in the spacious din-

mng-hiall and seated thieniselves arouind

L


the festive board President HaroldCraig arose and in a few well chosenwords welcomed the delegates fromnthe other years, expressing the hopethat the same good-fellowshlip whichhad always been the characteristic ofthe Medicals would continue to unitethem firmly for everything that tend-ed to their advancement. At the con-clusion of his speech hie jokingly re-ferred to the miracle of three boavesand two fishes, remarking that theabinclance might compare favourablywith that of the miracle, but that hiedoubted whether there would bie thetwelve baskets of fragments.

After the first course was servedMr. F. J. D-yle came forward andsang in excellent voice bis latest pro-duction, "My Tootsy, Wootsy, Woo,-a beautifuil ballad on his lady-love.From the ovation hie received there isno doubt but that this song will provea great "hit" in the theatrical world.

After the dinner followed the ad-clress of the evening, entitle(l "TheEvolution of Carbon Dioxide and itsRelation to the C.P.R.," delivercd bythe Emeritus orator of '06, Mr. W.Tauigher. After explaining the rela-tion of this gas to the human body,that carbon dioxide is given off duringthe process of putrefaction, hie made amost touching appeal to the youngmen of Canada, urging them to wasteno time in going forth to the CanadianNorth-West, that land of promise, toenter upon their fairest heritage. Re-marking on the absence of several ofthe "leading lighits" of the year, biesaid that nothing more fitting could bieproposed than a toast to tbem, "Maythey continue to evolve C02 fast andfuriously."

It should be mientioned that preced-

ing this were toasts to the King, to theDominion, and to the Ladies, to ail ofwbich suitable replies were miade.

The programme also included thediscussion of liglit refreshînents, fol-lowed by an impromptu dance, thelatter being not the least enjoyablemnmber of the evening, and it is learn-

cd on good atiarity that some of th'_nmembers, flot being content with anibble nitust have a whole bite, so ad-journed to the Whig Hall, where theyproceedeol to ý'tllrea(l the inazy" tilidaybreak.

1Y rni(lliight hour the banquet hallwas (leserted andl nought rcmained tothe vigilant cars of Con, but the ghost-ly echoes of Alex's lauigbter.

hvc noticed for some timewthe fact that Science studentsin general are becoming more interest-cd in questions of art, literature andphilosophy, and in fact, everythingwhich tends to a general, ail-roundformi of culture and which goes tomake up a comiplete eduication.

The Science man wears a boldfront, and points with pride to thelong list of classes lie lias to push ontof his way "for a (lcgree,-but in thequiet seclusion.of bis denl, whcen smiokeis curling tup in byperbolas of scientificexactness-it is tien hie deplores thefact that bis education is too one-sidedýand narrow, and wc would not cali ita pipe dreami cither,


On every side we find the deplorablefact discussed, that the only compul-sory Arts class on the Science calen-clar is junior English; whereas weshould get at least junior and SeniorEngiish, junior Philosophy and Poli-tical Economy.

It is true there are many Arts gra-duates in Science, men who havedelved deep into Philosophy andClassics and have brought to us asprinkling of that culture which issupposed to exist onlly in that buildingacross the tennis courts, known as thcGrant Hall annex.

But this is a case where a littie lea-yen does not affect the whiole lumip,and proud as we are of' our Iearnedrecruits from Arts, we would haveevery Science inan possess sonmeknowledge, if it be only a srnattering,of the subjects we have mentioned.

Arts graduates in Science are asfew and hard to flnd as third-year menwho, have passed in Descriptive Geo-mnetry, but few as they are, they exerta strong force ili the Engineering So-ciety where their influence is alwayspromînent.

No measuire of blame can be attach-ed to, the Science Faculty for thisstate of affairs. Theyare giving us asplendid course in Applied Science, acourse which is steadily improvingeach year and which in the final yearreaches a high state of efficiency andComnpleteness. Our graduates taketheir places in the scientiflc world andhold their own, with credit to themn-selves and their AIma Mater-amiongthe Alumni of McGill, Toronto, andthe best mining schools of the UnitedStates. But stili wc, daim that theCondition of affairs we have mention-ed is very mucli to be regretted, and()nei in whichf the remedy lies chiefly

witli ourselves. A m-ovement is nowon foot to organize a course of lec-tures in the first principles of PoliticalEconomly, which xve uinderstand thelecturer in that subject has kindly con-sented to deliver to Science students.

This is one form of the remedy, theother is by persistent and constant useof Quecen's miagnificent library, andeverlastingly sticking to that class ofreading which we are told "makeflhthe full man."

The above rernarks mnay be applieddirectlv to a case whicli has recentlycorne to our notice.

A proinineut meember of the Sopho-mo1cre year handed iii an examninationpaper with so many mis- srelled wordsthat the long-suffering Professor re-turncd the paper and accompaniedsonie very pointed rernarks with acopy of Webster's unabridged-forthe use of the student in question.

We hope the wily members of theaforesaid year wiil not adopt thisschene. to cleplete the library of theProfessor of Mineralogy, whose well-known generosity in the past has beena great boon to Science.

The Science dinner will be held on

WTecnes(lay evening, Dec. l4th, in theCity Hall.

We take this means of recalling the%vor(ls of the President-elect at theamiuial meeting of the EngineeringSociety, when he urged every memnberof the Society to attend this function.

It is the one night in the Collegeyear when ail the miembers meet injovial fellowshlip, push shoulders withthe learned professors, and forgettingail ab)out linieralogy, inechanics, ma-thenmatics andl netailurgy, listen withinterest ta the greetings from sisterinstitutions through their delegates,


and to the pithy addresses of men'high Uip in our chosenl profession.

Think it over boys and aid the din-ner commînttee, and through it thewhole Society, by your presence.

Mr. Euigeni Coste, President of theCanadian Mining Institute, in com-pany with Dr. Adanms of McGill, Mr.McEvoy of the Geog. Survey, andProf. Miller, Provincial Geologist,l)aicI a short visit to Queen's on Fri-(lay, Nov. llth.

Through the efforts of Dr. Good-win, the students had the pleasure oflistening to a lecture on "Natural Gasand Oit," (lclivered by Mr. Coste inthe Geology building.

No one could be better qualified tospeak on this subject than Mr. Coste,who has had a great deal of experi-ence in this uine and to whom belongsthe honor of opening up the only twofields in Ontario. Mr. Caste said inpart, that in the past geologists havegenerally conceded that oit and gaswere the products of the distillation ofanimal and vegetable remains, anddwelt at length on a theory, new tomost of us, that gas and oit are of vol-canic origin and that thie pressures en-couintered in gas wells are remnants ofvolcanic pressures and not hydrostatieas commonly believed.

He showed very clearly the fallacyof the argulmont that natural gas is theproduct of distillation of animal andvegetable remains-since there is noresidue of ash or coke found, also itspresence in the lower strata.,, as inWVestern Ontario, entirely disprovesthe current theory. Mr. Coste, whois supported in his theory hy eminentFrenclh geologists, says that the em-anations fromi volcanoes consist large-ly of hydro-carbons, and the immense

quantifies of gas, often as much as1,500,000 cubic feet per day fromsonie boles, with a pressure of 1,000lbs. gage, can onlly be explained by thevolcanic origin theory.

He cited an instance in Texas wheregas had been discovered, and the sur-rotunding land was rapiclly taken uphy capitalists. It was soon seen how-ever that only those working in a verysmnall area were successful, and thenit was discovered that the lucky oneswere boring in the chimney of an oldvolcano.

Mr. McEvoy humorously pointedont the bearing this subject had onpolitics ani the "volcanic" methodsoften used by the Standard Qil Trust.

Dr. Adams spoke very kindly ofQuieen's and said bis visit recalledmany pleasant memories of the goodtimes be had spent in Germany study-ing with Dr. Goodwin, but needless tosay, no details were given.

Prof. Miller commented on Mr.Coste's paper and the meeting wasclose1 with a good Queen's yell and atiger for Mr. Coste.

At the last regular meeting of theEngineering Society, Prof. GilI read avery interesting' and instructive paperon electric cranes and derricks. TheProfessor illustrated by diagrams theconstruction and working of the vani-ous parts of these machines and ex-plained very.lucidly the rather diffictultmechanisni of the brake attachments.The lecture was mutch appreciated bythe inembers of the Society and ahearty vote of tbanks was tendered theProfessor for his kindness.

And wellthey mighit for the victory was wellearne(l and tbe tcam that beat McGillthis year liad to be sonmething good.Queen's and McGili had tied for thechampionship, each with three vic-tories and one defeat, and the Unionhad appointed Lansdlowne Park, Otta-wa, andl Nov. l9th, for the final decid-ing battie. The day was perfect andthe interest in the gaine liad brouight alarge attenclance, over 2,500. Whatwith Queeni's excursionists, Quieen'sgraduiates, and Queen's symnpathizers,the tri-color was in strong evidence, asalso were the red and white of McGill.Our slogan seemns new down in Otta-wa and its gentle strains attracted

muchel attention. Songs were fewhowever, for after tearing off a fewchunlks of the yeIl one's throat isn't invery gooci triîn for singing.

The gaine introduced the Intercol-legiate rules inito the Capital and theabundance of open play resulting fromthein made a good impression on theODttawa crities. The play was goodau(l snappy f romn beginning to end;there wereinany exciting runis, and thepI)nting and catching was gilt-edged.The gai-ne was slightly spoiled by theabniormal inmber of free kicks for off-sicle work, Queen's being the chief of-fender and sufferer in this regard.Her back division seemed a bit off-color for the day; tbey fumbled con-siderably and did not get in their usualamouint of comibination-work, butmanaged to respond to aIl calîs ontliem. Thouigh Williams did the mosteffective work for the team, "Marty"Walsh made the star play of the day, athirty-yard mun in the second half, butit is impossible to particularize. Allthe mien played well together, and itwas 'bier team-work which wonQuecu's the victory. Our forwardline was slighitly stronger in defendingthe hialves, their tackling was high-class, and their quick following tipspoiled niany of McGill's returns.

JN the Iast two numbers of tlieI 'Atlienaeum'ii we find an article

on tlie college graduiate froin a lawyer's point of view wich containsmueh tliat is tru-tl, but also miichthat is fiction or worse, (and fictionout of place is radier bad form, tosay the least.) Thle writer, a prom-inent Chicago barrister, begins witha tirade against college graduates,as conceited, visionary, and unpract-ical and out of touch with the busi-ness worlcl. 'Ple blame of this bielays at thie door of thie professorswbo by fouir or five years drillinghave made their students as tlieoret-ical and. visionarv as tleieselves.'Ple average graduate. seekîng aremunerative position lie comparesto a landlord who adlvertises for ren ta bouse of wbieh onlv the foundat ionis built.

For several columins lie goes onin tbis way railing at tlie unseason-ed graduiate for tlie tini e li asspent in tlie pursuit of uiseless know-ledge.

There is mnuch in the article thatwe would like to criticize, did nottime and space forbid.

A sort of a parodical epidemicseems to have struck most of ourcontemporaries this month; Vaýsiiyhas had an exceptionally severeattack. In the issue of Novemberloth, there are no less than threeparodies. One, on Tennyson's"Revenge," entitled "A Ballad ofthe Ficet" refers to the North Seaoutrage. It is cleverly conceivedthough hastily and carelessly workedout. There is a parody on "TheAncient Mariner "whicli is not so,good, and one on "Wc are Seven "which is stili worse. The NorthSea incident has also inspired theT. C.

certain grace. The figure though itshows the relaxeci and bluinted line ofage lias stili symmetry and shapeli-ness. 1\ichelangelo rather loved sticbparadoxical feats as forcing nobilit.yaud grace from straiued attitudes andcombinations which other mýen wouldhave found intractable.

Thiat is one kind of îjroplîetic orSibylline inspiration, the clark earlyPagan, or demioniaca]. Quite anotheris seen iu bis I)clphic Sibyl, the younlgand beauitiful womian who, as Euiripi-des (lcrCibes lier, Ghants the rhythrnicoracles of Apollo to miortals and repre-sents the brighiter andi bunaner inspi-ration of classic (;reece. Yet in theDelphic Sibyl, too, you bave sonie ofthe traits of the CuimSan-softened bythe beatuty and freshness of youth. Sheis yoting, fair of face and apparentlylittie more than a medium; she looksround with parteci lips and balf-start-le(l expectant eves, as if slïe saw some-thiug whicli annoiunced the corning ofthe god. 13lut bier figure which is en-casec inl the heavy sctulpturesquelymod0(elled folds of bier garmeut bas no-flhing very femlinine in its expressionand seems almnost too set and mature.The mnuscular auatomny of the armsalso is a littie too obtrusive for grace.Stili they are beautiful, as is, in a yet

bigbier degree, the superb virginalforce of the face. Wlbat Michelangelomleaut precýsely by bis Delphic Sibylmigbt be (lifficuit to (lefine. It is flotlyrical inspiration, hie bias treated thatin another forni. Prohably it repre-sents s0nie concep)tionl of oracular re-ligion aniongst the Greeks whic-h licmiay ofien bave beard (liseussed by theelegant scholars and llatonists whomnet at the table of Lorenzo tlie M ag-nificent, lus carly patron.

The Jereniiah of M.,ichielanigelo isanother example, hiardly less strikingthan the sculpturcd Moses, of the man-ner in mw'hîch the strength of the art-ist's conception uirged liiim heyond theniodestv of nature, even wlhen respect-ing lier laws. The massive figure andsuinken brooding head of tbe Hebrewprophet give at once an uinusuial im-pression of gigantie strýengtb aud hulkcomliined with the contemplativespirit. The whole pose aud anatomyof the body express I)rofotlud melan-choly. The bicad suipported by therighlt am is hieavilv leant on the rigbtIcuce. The left side, the left amui and

biaud, the wide relaxation of the leftkuce express a momnent of languor anddesponclency. Tbe lowem limbs areenormious. Yet tlîe outdine of this hugefigure is teuderly managed so as toconvey the impression of a beuignautstreugthi, of a flne limanity. Nothingcouild lue farther fromn the grotesqueaniniality of a fat glatit.

Tliose strange figures of Prophetand Sibvl illustrate lîow intimately thepassion of idealistic thought blendswitli the passion of art and the passionof scientific knowledge lu the work ofMichelangelo.

ALMA MATER ELECTIONS.

T HE turmoil of another electionbas ceased. The most keenly

contested struggle for Aima Materhionors that the University has wit-nessed in years before lias been ended,leaving no very serions "bad taste" be-bind it. Every member is satisfiedt'hat a comipetent Execuitive bas beensectired for another year, and as aconsequence ail have accepted the te-suit of the vote with composure. Thisis one of the commndable features ofLUniversity elections. Students mayfighit hard for victory for their side butwhcn the contest is over only the un-wise treasuire up any bitterness. Ailhiatchets are immediateiy buried andail disagreeable references to thestruggle are buppressed.

Many valuable lessons have beenlcarned, however, in the electiOn juistpast. The demiand mrade for a re-cotunt of the ballots has rcvealed to, thestudfents the extremne looseness of thewhole procedure, both at the poils andin the counting of the ballots after the

.A

close of the polis. The discussion at

the special meeting, caile(i to deai withthe question of a recouint, showed howvery inadequate the Constitution ofthe Society is to incet the require-ments of out elections. The Constitul-tion demands that "as far as possiblethe ruiles governing the election ofniembers of Parlianient shall governtiiis election," but docs not state whe-ther it is the Provincial or DominionAct that is to serve as our guide.Evidentiy the Dominion Act is theone preferred, since that was theone referred to at the special meeting.But that saine Act was delîbcratelydisregarded in at ieast six sections, anyone of which it is quite possible tocomply with. The request for the re-couint itself wvas doubtless irregular,and had it not been for the high feel-ing that I)revaile(l VouIld 1 robablv havebeen reftised uintil made definite andin proper form. Shotuld the electionhave been voidcd as a result of theseirregullarities? Not by any meails.Shouild the recouint have been refused ?\Ve think that would have been quitetunwisc. Lvcryone is glad it was heldand, moreover, everyone is giad that itdid not necessitate any change in thepersonnel of the Execultive.

Althouigh the recouint did not ma-terially alter the resuits but ratlierproved the carefuiness and correctniessof the original couint, yet the (liscuis-sion regarding it and( on the inanner ofconducting our elections, has ciearlyrevealed the neccssitv of some veryradical changes ini the Constitution.

We venture lierc t<) nake a few sug-gestions that mnay ho Worth thinikingover:

(1 ) The Constitution should beamcended to re(luire definite instruc-tions to be posted at the polIs, to effect


greater secrecy in voting, to prohibitcanvassing in the polliug bo0oth,ý tocOud(lct the electioiî betwcen ten andlfour o'clock and so give time to couintthe ballots, tu require at least ten clect-ors to ask in writin- for a recouintxvhen suich is (lcsired, to re(fuire thatthe intention of the voter, if clear, de-cicle the valiclity of the ballot, to re-quiire that accurate voters' lists be sup-1 )lied.

(2) The Constitution should bcfurt'her anicnded ta o akc the AlimaMater fee conipuilsory as well as thcAthletic fee. Every studcnt should bca meniber of the A.M\.S. and whyshould the Society he hanipered everyyear in its business becauise ofthe uncertainty of the amiount of fundsthat rnay be collected on Election Day ?As it is, except wbere the yeas andnays are called, every student votesand speaks, Why slîould he flot pay bisfees ? The vote at elections wouldthen be larger, for the fee would flotact as a bribe to keep hii at horne.

(3) Owing to the feeling tlîat liasresuilted over the Professors usingtlîeir franchise iii tbis election, it nîiglîtbe l)est, iii the interest of good feelingbetween tiieni and the studeiits, if theywvere no longer asked to corne to thepolis. And l)esi(les t'his it miight bewveli to consi(ier the advisability ofhaving tlîe ladies vote at the saine poilas tie mîen, s0 that it would be lcsspossible to deternîine lîow tlîey voted,as a wlîole, just as it is impossible to(liscover this withi regard to the mi-en iiithe varions Faculties.

(4) It nîay be fairly asked also ifthe timne lias not arrîved to confine thevoting to the registere(l stud(ents ? i tis argue( ltiîat the A.M.S. needs theUoiicy. If so, it wiîuuld be better to

tax ourselves extra for it than to urge

our fricnds to îîay for sonîething theydo0 Jot receive bex oIi( the lirivilege ofvotillg for a mnmber of Ilien tbey haveneyer seen. Fifty cents fromî eachregîlyster-ed student would nîean aboutfour lîundred andl flftý, dollars, wlichis seventy-five dollars miore thal liasbceîî collected this vcar at an uinuisuallykeeii election. We shil( rnncli pre-fer to sc our friands urged to patron-ize the "Conversat" and(ltus receivesomiletlîini of the nature of an equiva-lent for tlîeir- kindness, and we havelittle doult tlîat th v ould lirefer tlîisthunulcves. It liuist be reneniberedtlîat Ouccu i's lias niany statunch frieiîdswho nieyer vote, andi nany wlîo have novote at ail iii our clections, who areneverthciess loy al iii their support andliberal iii tiîcir givings. \Ve bave no-thing against the outside vote, exceptthaýt it conîplicates the clections, wliileit mav be, that it also burdens and an-nÔys our friends unnecessarily.

Things be~gin to look as if the PartyS} stemn were fast becoiniing a necessityiii our College 1)olitics. How painfulit is to lîcar tlie varions candidates foroffice telliiîg tlîeir own virtues as themain reasons why tlîcv should be elect-cd. It wouild býe a great relief, to thecand(idiates in larticillar, if sone sortof n'ai issue could be djscovered toforni a basis for argumlent at least. \Veventure to say tlîat if am, change ofduis sort is collteliillated tiiere couldl)e fotind no uîore opp)ortune tnîîe thanthe preseîît, vhien thiere are no rigi(lanialganiations ini existence.

the judges are alw ay s guided by sotundlagic, clcarly expressed.

Genuine elaquence is flot beau-tifuil increly, nar chiefly ; it nmust be,flrst of ail, convincing. Any extrava-gant multiplication af words for rhe-torical effect whiéh adds nothing ta theargument, but rather obscures it, ml-ustbe avoided. The inethods of thc cami-

L.D.L., and in the in-terest of goýod debating it seems timielyta cali attention ta the error. Ofcourse wc do îlot insinuate for a ina-ment that the debate here at Queeni'son Dec. 2nd was sa very faulty in thisrespect. (Dur criticism 15 îlot intendedta apply in any particular case, but re-fers ta debating iii general rather thanto any particular contest, although itmust býe admnitted that somne of thestatements do appiy ta certain speechesdelivercd in the Inter-University de-bates in recent ycars. We seek simplyta eall attention to certain fauîts whichby a littie care nîay be remedied and

thius add considerable interest ta thesecontests.

Speeches prel)ared ta mneet aine par-ticular line of argument are quite tise-less. and even ridiculous when the op-position speakers clîaose a (lcide(lly(liffercnt course. 'l'le only a(lequatcpreparation for any debate, is a tiior-

PRINCIPAL CAVEN.

T HE JURNALwould join lier sym-T thy with those who sorrow inthe loss of that truly great Canadian,D)r. Caveni, Principal of Knox College,Toronto. We feel that a great pro-phet of righteou1sness has been remoýv-cd froni our midst and has gone fromus to his eternal rest. To express oýursentiments adcquatcly, we realize thatno multitude of words wiIl avail, andindeed, we feel that no words of ourscan indicate tbe depth an-d intensity ofour grief so well as the littie tributepaid bim by Dr. Dyde at the close ofan address to tbe Y.M.C.A. on Friday,Dec. 2nd. We take the liberty to quotelis words as follows:

"I cannot close this paper without(Žxpressing the sympaflîy wbich we ailfeel for a sister College in the loss ofits distinguished and beloved Princi-pal, Dr. Caven. One hardly knewwhat to admire mnost in bim, his keen-ness of intellect, bis subtle bumor, bismoral cbarity, bis public spirit, bislimpid sincerity and simplicity, bisdeep piety. But the loss of Knox is aloss niot to bier only, nor to the Presby-terian Churcli alone, but te ahl Canada-and we place our flag at balf-mastas a sign that we sbare in a commionsorrow. Many a mnan and many anorganziation will feel that in his loss atower of strength bias been rernoved;but we would rather be tbankful thatbis wisdomi and couinsel were availableso, long."

More need not be said by us or byanyone. A great mian's noblest mnonti-ment is bis work. Principal Caveni'sactive service to miankind and countryis ended but bis influence, which makesfor rigbiteousness, lives on forever.

H1. That during tlie lecture hourstlie Levana and cloakroorns are stillopen to those flot occupied with classes,and also that a roomi is provided forthose who carc ta study.

111. That the part expected of alady student in Queen's University ismiodesty and retirernent, and that astruggle to hecad the Iists in the Aprilexainination resuits is the farthestpoint to whichi emulation with themen students ought to go.

The text upon xx mcl these rernarksare based xvill shine forth in all itstruth before the eyes of those studentswho have nýot shared ini the self-assert-ive spirit which has been of lateabroad i thec University. Let it bethe duty of those studious ones tomiake clýear its beauty to their blinderor more, thouglhtless sisters.

On Saturday aftcrnoon, Nov. 26th,thec Levana Society entertained itsfriencîs through the mediunm of its an-nual Afternoon Týea.

The Honorary President, Mrs. Cap-pani, and thec President, Miss Williamns,reccived inflic Reading Room, gaily(lecorate(l for flie occasion, and apîcasaut social hôtur wùas spent. Therefreshmilient tables were prettily ar-ranged an(l (aintily spread. The corn-iiittce in charge were most skilful in


ianoeuvering their way about taserve tIieir .ticsts,. What though anoccasional cup of coffee were o'ertuirn-ed, or thie usual two lumps of suigarwere not forthconing, there wereeveryxvlîre the utmnost geniality an:1lsociabiiity.

Most skilftil, likewise, were theladies in charge of the candy-tabies.Their xvares, made by their ownhauds, ani tenîptingiy (lisplayed, werecaicuiated to bias the judgnent andcorrtupt the politicai views of ail] op-pose(i to the purchaser. For distantrumiblings, as of some mnighty uipheav-ali n the body pm>litic of onr Univers-ity-Repubiic were heard, alid whispersof a new head about to be chosen bythe populace.

Most anxious were friends of thecandidates, and friends of friends -ofthe candidates, to greet ail who have avoice in the affairs of state. For, ithe ballot-box, the mark of one of theleast is accepted as representingthtligt and becomies as rnîghty asthat of one of the great. Shrewdcustonm Who shahl say that the so-cial ctip and the gay chatter of thathour does flot work for the state whatthe iearned discourse of the oratorscarce can ?

Shauild lady stucients canvas ini anAlmia Mater election ? In ail the en-thusiasni and heat of the recent strug-gle, this question we asked otirselvesrepeatedly, as we saw thec officiousFreshette, the pompons Sophomore,an excitabile junior, or an uncontrolledSenior standing with flushed andsoinetimies angry face loudly pro-claiming the inerits of lier mnan," andiooking defiance at any of her more

miode rate- mi nded sisters who dared toprotest when the canvas began to runin low, personai channels.

It inay be uirged tlîat it is perfectiyright for lady students to canvas theirsisters in an election of this kind, be-cause calivassing wili be done, that iscertain, and is it flot more dignified tahave tlie lady students do their owncanvassing tlîan to allow the nien-stu-dlents ta col-le into tiiese ranks andcoax, flatter or court these studentsfor tlîeir votes? The iady-students(if sucli Vlere lie) xvho are so weak as

ta cal] forth any canvas 'of this kindare iiot worthy of the nanie of Uni-versity womniî, andi we shahl not con-sider tiieni ; tiierefore we hold tiîat ifcanvassing must be done, let the mien-students do it. They, if thîey are menand flot niice, will not stoap ta iow,petty tricks, cailed by sanie, jokes, norw*Il they canvas on personal grounds.It is po~ssible for mîen ta carry thruughail election in a caiuî, rationai nianner;wlîile tlîey inay be very enthusiasticfor the time-being, 'over the matter, itdoes not become ta tlîem the be-ail andend-all of tiîeir existence, as it evident-ly does xvith sanie of flie lady-students.

But is it necessary that there shouidbe canvassing. There is very hittie ofit done in Levana elections and the Sa-ciety still lias its officers, and those ofthe best. Ail students by the tinie theyenter the University intist surely havelearneci ta judgc for thenîselves tasome -extent, and if the powers of dis-crimination andi judginent are ta go ondeveloping, it mutst be hy the free andindependeut exercise of tleic. We aretold, year after year, that we shotildgive up voting on faculty lines andvote for the best nman; (and, indeed,this is a cansuimmation devoutly ta be


wishied for), but if this ideal is ever tcbe realized, the sooner canvassing isclone away with the better. 'l'le can-didates for the iPresidcncy could stilihave other policies niapped out, andthese policies mnight be stili more free-ly discussed by ail the members thanthe glimimerings of policies of the pasthave been, and thien no personal can-vas would be necessary. As the scholaris a man of ideas andl ideals, he shotuldbe a bringer of hope; andi the Univers-ity should lead in instittuting reforrns,rather than be content to follow thequestionable methods of popular poli-tical contests.

The girls of the University were de-lighted witb the Inter-Collegiate De-bate, ani-i the victory for Queen's.Many items of import were brought totheir notice for the first time. Un-learned in politics as they are, the ma-jority heard with considerable shockto their earlier training in history, that"the government of our land in the re-cent election place(l themiselves emplia-tically on record as opposed to self-governrnentt."

Heread several passages f romn Shake-speare to illustrate the nature of hu-mour; andi certainly evel y une whfo*was present was charnied with the in-imitable mnanner in which he madeeachi character reveal itself. He show-ed how humour at bottomn was serions,and that it was a necessary part of reallife. The lecture scemed ail too shortfor the audience when the hour lîadgOne, but ail voted that it was an au-

slîiciGUS Opening evening for thecourse of lectures of the Society.

"The Chinese Immigration iProb-1cm"i' was thec subjeci of discussion for


the first afternoon mîeeting of the samneSociety, Mr. J, A. Donneli, M.A., in-troducing the topic. He claimed thatthere were ne serious economnic evilsin connection with the Chinese inimi-gration problem. It is often said thatthe Chinaman works more, consumesless food and works for less wagesthan the working man of western peo-pies. But if this be so then it is onlyse nîuich the better for ail concerned;the Chinaman inakes a living andweaith is produced for the citizens ofthe country. It is the saving of this

wealth over and above what the China-man consumes and obtains in wagesthat makes the country riclier, becauiselie bas sought its shores.

It is true that the Chinaman re-places or rather, dispiaces other la-bour; but so did the great labour-sav-ing machines invented in the eigh-teenth and nineteenth centuries. Yetne one can deny that these machines inthe end made the counitry doubly rich;increased tue wealtb of the peopleenormously and set thiem at the sanie

tinie more at their leisuire to strength-en and educate the nobler elements oftheir nature. The resit is that labourto-day is on a higber plane; and wecannot for one moment associate thepicture of Millais' Man with the Hoewith that of the fanmer of our coun-try who whistles merrily as hie drives aself-binder througb the wheat.

The speaker claimed that in thesame way the Chinaman was an econo-mic boon to the people. For example,the Chinaman bias somnewhat soivedthe servant probleni in the West; and,now the housewife does not have teeternaiiy waik the trivial round of or-

dinary housebold routine, but maysave a few precious hours for socialduties and persoual deveiopment. In

other words the Oriental servant al-lows bis superiors to advan 'ce to, ahiglier grade. This is flot only true ofîhe hciusehiold but of many other con-ditions of life. The Chinaman per-formis the mienial tasks, and frees there-st of society te pursue nobler ends.

The speaker deait very briefly withthe complaint that our Eastern visitorsafter a timie shakes the dust of thiscountry off fromn bis boots, unwindsbis queue ami departs with bis littieboard of gold to sit down under some,eastern myrtle-tree to meditate on thevanities of life. The objection is, Doesnot the Chinaman make the countrypoorer by returning home, aud leavingno equivalent for what bie takes withhim? The answer is that hie 'lias gîvenus something which is of greater valueto us than the money-else we woulýdneyer have made the exehange-thatis, bis labour or services whidh haveconduced to, our wealth or comfort.From ail these censiderations it is dif-ficuit to understand how lie can be adetriment to us economically, thoughlie may be socialiy.

But is the Chinaman really a labour-saving machine; that is, can hie domore work for the samne wages, or,w'hat is the sanie thing, equal work forless wages than an Anglo-Saxon com-petitor? This is what the iabour-sav-ing machines have virtuaily done; theyhave dispiaced hand-labour primariiybecause thýey could do tlie work morecheaply, and incidentaliy they haveput the labouring classes on a higberlevel. Primarily did the Chinamansecure a place ini our industrial life be-cause lie can work more at the samerate of wages as bis western brother ?We do iîot believe fliat hie (li(. Thewestern workman will perform morework for the sanie wages than a China-

mani if lie chooses to do0 so. That iýthe point. In certain lines the China-man bas no conipetitor for the work istoo niiial for hiiii nd~1( gives too smailscope for the culargemient of bis noblerfaculties. We see this same thing ex-eniplified iii t'le building of railroadsin Canada an(I the United States. Agrcat (leal of tlîis was performed byItalian labotirers, of whomi it general-Iy took two to do tic work of an Eng-lishmnani. Yet tbey did the work, flot

becatise they were labour-saving ma-'chines, but becauise the Industrial Re-volution had placed the miajority ofEnglislî-speaking labotirers on a higlh-er plane.

W HEN the sad news was whis-pered around among the mcm-

bers of the Hall a week ago that Prin-cipal Caven of Knox College was deadit was indeed a great sbock to us ail.So severe a loss to our sister Coýllegecornes very close home to us, andeverywbere it was beard said how dif-ficult it would be to fill the vacantplace. But while flhc loss is most keen-ly felt at Knox at this 'hour, it is anequally heavy loss to our whole Churchand Country. Principal Caven's namebas been almost a household word inPresbyterian circles throughout theProvince for many years, andi duringbis severe illness a year ago many werethe sympathetic friends who anxiouslyawaited the welcome news of his re-covery, and now they join in payingthe last tributes to, bis naine. Butwhile bis familiar figure will no longerbe seen in tbe class-rooms. of Knox,nor in the pulpits of Toronto, nor atthe University functions at wbich hewas always a guest of honor, be wilby no means be forgotten. His worklias been well donc, and it bas been agreat work. As'a Professor lie waskeen of intellect, wide in learning andrich in sympatby. It is truc indeedthat lie was a firmn advocate of viewB

most of ail impressed by the kindlj-ness, gentleness andi big-heartedness ofthe manî. In this respect perhapsmore than any other he bas lcft an in-delibie impression on ail bis friendsandi students, and the influence he liaswielded in the direction of a higýhertype of Christianity among his sttî-dents and ail wbo knew him is a fargreater tribute to his mnemory than anywords can possibly express.

Our Theological Colleges have suif-fered greatiy these last few years fromthe visitations of the Grim Reaper.Principal Grant's death almost stag-gered Quleen's at first, but we new rea-lize bow well bis work bad been doneandi that it bias been placed in goodhands. The death of Prof. HaliidayDouglas, a very able and dearly-be-ioved young Professor of Knox afew years ago left a vacancy whichwas bard to fill. Then Principal Mc-Vicar of Montreal was removed andnow Knox has been callcd to suifer asecond heavy loss in the death of Pýrin-cipal Caven. But in Knox as witb theother Colleges it wili doubtless soonappear to be ail for the bcst, and anable succcssor will be found. In thehour of bereaveinent tbe TheologicalFaculty of Quieen's joins in the uni-versai sorrow and tenders Knox itsdeepest sympathy.

It camle with consitierable disap-pointient to, us to flIl(1 that the Fresh-man class in Theology was so smallthis year, and the report seems to bethc same from ail the Colleges, and in-dced fromi the Churches of A denomni-nations.

It may be suifficient to say thatthe spiritual characteristics of the ageare not sncb as to encourage youngmen to enter the nîinistry. This maymean a great ýdeai, but if it is interpret-cd to say tbat the age is deterioratingspiritualiy therc are rnany wbo woulclchallenge tbe opinion. Principal Cavenin one of bis iast public addresses inToronto, deploring the scarcity ofmen, said that the defect was traceableto weakened home influences and tothe lower ideals of home life. This isprobably coming very close to the ac-ttuai trouble. But at A events thediscovery of the cause, if any cause,even of a very conîprchensive nature,is discoverable, will not soive the prob-lem. For tbe immediate situation itwould at once suggest itsclf that theChurch muist use every proper induce-ment to lea(l desirable youing nmen toenter on a course of study with a viewto entering the ministry. The greatinfluence of nîost of the pastors of ourChurches over youing ruen in their con.-gregations suggests the opportunity of

working particullarly ini that direction.Of course some hold very pronouincedviews as to the absolute necessity of adistinct cali to this high service, andindeed wc wvould ail aglrc t'hat a "callEof sonie nature is ncccssary.

No one will(lreamn of accuising a minister or divin-ity stul(ent of worldliness, but willrather recognize tlie great sacrificeswbich many men miake to serve thcirChuirch and Master in this work.

At the last regular meeting of thieEng. Society, G. C. Bateman read avery carefully î)repared and exhaust-ive paper on the ores of the Rosslandcamp. Particullar attention was paid to,the War Eagle and Centre Star mineswhere MVr. Bateman was employed(luring the past sunmer.

The author said in part that the orebodies at Rossland are situiated on theedge of the crater of an extinct volca-no, a very interesting fact for the citi-zens of the town to hear ini mind. Theore of the district is mostly pyrrholiteand chalcopyrite with a country rockof gabbro shading into augite porphy-ry-both ores carrying values ini goldand silver.

An important featuire of the miningmethods in thlis camp is the fact that(liamond drills are kept contintiotslyat work exploring andl confirming newground, the cores f roi the dîrills beingcarefuillv guarded and assayed.

AIl labor is done hy contract, and anexperienced hustler can mnake $4.,50 to$6.00 per day. The ore is concentra-ted ini the new 2 0 0-toIl plant for thatpurpose at Trail, B.C., and from theregoes to the snmelter, the final separa-tion and refining being done in theEastern States.

The discussion which followed thelpaper showed that Rossland must havebeen at soine time the stamnpinggrotind Of several mnembers of the So-ciety.


At the next meeting Mr. Cairns willdiscuss some of bis experiences as aprospector ini B.C., and we have nodoubt that the menîbers of the Societywill finci this Paper botb pleasing andiprofitable.

The reading-roorn of the Engineer-ing building has been greatly irnprov-e(l by the addition of racks for the pa-pers and magazines. Hlitherto the read-ing inaterial wvas scattcre(l promis-ýouisly on the tab)le, andi besides giving

W HEN Quen's won the chan-pionship of the Intercollegiate

Leaguie the question of cliallengingOttawa College for the Dominioncimpionship was eagerly (lebated onail sides. The Football Execuitive,however, feit it inadvisable to send ina challenge and the reasons are not farto seek. The Intercollegiate leaguewas formied primarily to encouragepure amateur sport amiong the Univer-sities and ail know how well its objectbias been attained. 'flic rtules govern-ing the Dominion contest wouild flotdebar outsiders from playing withQtueen's and the teluptation to talce onstrong mnen, tlhus eligible (''for onlythis one gamne whichi is so imiportant")mnight have proved too strong, thusspoiling t'le i(leal of the IntercollegiateLeagule whicb insists on only bona-fide

students participating in the games.Moreover the Intercollegiate FootballLeague bias now won its way into thefirst ranks of Canadian football andlanirels ini it miay well be accounted suf-ficient for any teami and will be moreand more 50 considered in the future,an end always te, be kept ini view. Forwhy shouilc not the Intercollegiatechanîpionship be "the" championshipof the Dominion. Added to these wasthle (liffictulty of keeping the playerslong-er togethier after a season whichlia( alrea(lv excece(l( the regular time.

On Tuiesday evening, Novemnber the2.9th, Principal Gordon entertained atsupper the Exectitive of the FootballClub and the Senior Team, championsof the Intercollegiate League. ThePrincipal presiled, with Capt. Patter-son and Prof. Campbell on either side,proving as always a most genial andsuccessfull h'ost. After a bouintiful re-past liad been attended to a number ofspeeches, interspersed with collegesongs, were enjoyed. In a deliglitfulspeech, puinctuatecl with humorous re-mnarks, the Principal welcomed theguests to bis table, and congratulatedthe team on tlheir signal stuccess thisseason, also touicbing on the higlii(lCals which nitst be maintajned iiisports if their true wortli is to be rea-lize(l. Mr. W. F. Nickle, one of the"01(1d boys," told a numnber of interest-îng incidents wbich bappened in thie01(1 davs when athletie finances were atloxv ebb and the students were bouindtogether by the 01(1 "Quieen's spirit,"irrespective of factilty or creed, evenmore strongly tbani at present. Capt.JPatterson then spoke, dealing more(lirectly with rugby interests andtlîanking the members of the team for


their faithful support (luring the sea-son. After thanking the club for theposition 'lie occupied, Prof. Campbell,Hon.-Pres. of the Club, told how won-clerful the bond of union betweenQuieen's students appeared to out-siclers, thouigh incleed lie no longerconsiclers himiself such. Short speecheswere then given bv Mr. Laidlaw, Man-ager of the Club, andl Capt. Gleeson ofthe second teani.

The evening x'as one of enfire en-joynienf for all present, bringing as itclid the Principal into dloser personal.relations with the members of theclub.

Last session a Basket-Ball gametook place in the city between Queen'san(l McGill wlben after a close and ex-citing match victory rested witb thelatter. Gamies of fliis kind betweensister uniiversifies do mutch f0 sustainthe interest in anv kind of sport, and ifis desirable f0 foster snch a one asBasket-Ball, which is growing sorapîdly in favor.' Accordingly theAthletic Commiittee at a recent meet-ing authorized the Basket-Ball Club toarrange if possible a gamie with theMeGîli teanm so that tlie players wiIlhave soniething to spuir themi on evenmure than tlie l.nter-Year gaines.

At a meceting of the Athlefie Com-illîittec on Thursday, Nov. 3Oth, a com-

It bias beenthe cuistoni for trophies, provided part-ly fromn leaguie grants and partly fromncollege grants, f0 bce given f0 the me-bers of the feams winning the varionschanipionships. Thiese frophies variedwith the tastes of flie recipients wbodecided t'le forni and dlesign. Now'the proposaI is madle to have the \rari-ous tropliies tiniforni and recognizedso that a glance will show whether iflias been won in football or hockey, insenior or infermiediate ranks. The ideais good and if is f0 lie hoped thaf theconiimittee will be able to bring in afavouirable report. One difficulty f0be remenibered is tînt a player migbtbave two or more similar trophies,tlîough if is not likely fhey would everget fou colimion witli him.

The November number of Acta Vic-toriana is one of tlie best excliangesthat bas reached us tlîis nmontli. Itbears on its front cover page, (at leastso we are toid witliin), a representa-tion of that forest prinieval known asQ ueen's Park, Toronto. Inside every-thing is excellent, from tlie poem atthe beginning to tlie Atbletic page atthe end. Wlîere sucb a lieap of goodthings is piaced before us it is inipos-

sible to do justice to ail. 'Pwo articles,liowever, ai ý, worti1y of special men-tion. Thle first is oiie by Dean Wal-lace, in wvhic lie severely criticizes thedecisioli of the Houisc of Lords in therecent Scotchi Churchi case. The se-cond is a description entitled, "Arnongthe Irish." It is bcauitifuilly illustra-ted by means of ciits froin "Here andThere in the H-ome Land."

Another excellent excliange is the<J.A.C. Review. Tliough it naturallycontains much imaterial not interestingto tlie uninitiated, it is no mere agri-cultural journal, but a newspaper andmagazine as well. It keeps a closewatcli on current events and its well-written editorials arc always on liveand interesting topics. It lias one ofthe best Alumini coltinms we know of,andi its locals are newsy and fresli, loýtthe incessant pointiess banter in whiichs0 niany of our friends induige.

This convetion, wethink, lias inarked tlîe beginîiing of aniev era in coliege journaiin. Iu thepast there lias been a tendency to lookuipon the college editor as soniewliat ofa jiRe and at tiimcs as a nuisance. Iliat(lay is gonie. 'lic college paper bascorne to stay, and its value and imnport-anîce are yearly increasing. SeveralAnierican colieges have opened classesin Journaiisnî andi in the University ofMichiigani a newspaper is c(iited andpublislied by the students under tuedirection of the faculty. An associa-tion or convention in wvlich collegeeditors cild nicet and exclîaîîge opin-ions would certaiîîly be an advaîîtageto coilege journalisin, and tbrotugi itto the wlîole profession.

In this nuinher we p)tblish an articleby "New," hcaded "Grcck Again.*"The titie might tend to limiit the nuil-ber of readers and for that reason wewish to say that the article ýreally dealswith Englishi and flot Greek. It isquite suggestive and( certainly setsforth one of the very marked deficien-cies of the Englishi language. WCare ilot s0 sure that the method pro-posed wouIld effect thie (lesired result.If these words could be introduiccd in-to the vocabulary of slang they wouldsoon become currenýt and respectable.

The Robyt. Simpson Co. of. Torontohave gencrously provided a, number ofthe rural public sehools of this Pro-vince with a -two years' subseription toQueen's Quarterly. While in one as-pect of it this will certainly be an in-troduction for the company to manynew patrons, yet it is an exceedinglyintelligent and foresiglhtcd movementon the part of the managers in extend-ing the range of a thorotughly reliablebusiness. Such examples of the prac-tical ordeal in the administration offavours, which bless not only thosewho give but those who take, are de-serving of special commiendation andencouragement. If even a small frac-tion of the money, whicli is annuallyspent by large companies on the uisualniethods of aýttracting public attention,were directed into such channels,while serving ail the legitimate objectsof a(lvertising, it might do xnuch toprovide the rural siffools with a de-sirable class of literature and othereducational miaterials. The seheme isnew and very commendable, and

points; to a marked imi-proveient inmethods of advertising. We sincerelyhope, for the sake of the rural coin-munities, that the plan proves efficientand satisfactory, but if direct returnsfranm country districts are desired byTlhe Rohert Simpson Co. wýe wouldadvise a change ini the matter of theirad verti sement.

H USTLE, rush, mun, morning,noon and night! In a trice the

city was cleared, and the students, themucýh-abused, long-suffering studentswere free again for two blissfulweeks, without a thouglbt of work tospoil their Christmias turkey and plum-pudding, or the thousand and one fes-tivities which cluster about the de-lightful holiday season.

One of the more conscientious girlsin packing uip, put in a book or two tofuIl up a space, and give hierseif an airof scholarship in the eyes of the home-folks.

"Just broughit that German bookhome to read for pleasure in my sparemoments; and oh yes, that is a Frenchbook, I couldn't leav-e it behind."

lier little sister, who is not the niostcredulous mneniber of the family,, dis-creetly refrained from voicing lieropinion on the subject, feeling that thefirst evening home slhould be one ofwelconie. To hierself she murmuredquizzically, "l wonder whether sherealîx enjoys themn, or wh'ether sheonly tliinks that it sounds well to talkso.

QUEEN'S UNI VERSITY JOURNAL. 7

At4tiil.

A T the last meeting of the A.M.Sbefore Christmnas. a commilittc

was appointed to consider ways andmeans of completing the fund for theerection of a gymasiuim. Some op-posito*,n was offered to the movemnerton the giounid that the present wasflot a stùitable time in the face of thelarge tleficit in connectioýn with theGrant Hall. But the meeting wasoverwheliningly of the opinion thatthe question shouild at least be thor-oughly investigated andi the committecwas accordingly ap)Jointed. Once ulp-on a time in the dim past Quieen's hada gymnasiun (we won't investigateits merits), but it was shýort-lived, andat present we hiave to bc content withdressing-rooms for the football andhockey players. But apart fromn theseare the greaýt majority of the studentswho shoiuld have, but as yet arc with-oelt, mecans for regular exercise. Insnicb a University as ours there ýcan bcno question as to the necessity of agynm., and the preseiît seenis a fit timeto inakc a strong effort towartls theerection of one. Some years ago thenecîcus of a gylunasiuîui fuind wasformed by voltintary subseriptionsfromn the studeuits anid graduates andthieir frieucis. Since then thec AthleticComimittee lias repeatedily added tô theftund, I)ut a check camne with the pur-chase of the Athietic Grouunds, andlater the iniprovemnents in the Upperandi Lower Caimpi. Now, however,the Athletic finanices are iii inost satis-factory condition ow.gto the levynmade on each student for athletic p)ur-poeantheUi way seemis clear forinaking another stritie towar(ls theIong-sotight endl. Of course thewhole undertaking canniot be slîotl-

dereti by the present generation ofstudenits alone-part can be left to thecare of our suiccessors wha will eachin turn reap benefit froni it. But as inail! material advances at Queen's pro-gress must be slow and cautions, antiwe can hardiy look for a fully equip-petl and uip-to-date gyrnnasiuim at onebreak. The report of the commi.tteeappointed glhould be eagerly expectedby ail, for the matter is most import-ant.

Once again we 1re in the thick ofstrentious athletics after the calm suc-ceeding the football season, and tbechances of the steel-shod wearers ofthe bine, recl and yeliow for ulphoidingtheir past faine, form a popular topicof conversation. The "Quecen's Cup"fits ini very iiicely in fthe combinationof troi)hies in the Library, andi ourfirst "Seven" must sec tlîat it doesn't]cave its niche this season. Thioughour chances look brighit it'.s uip toevery mnan to play the gaine anti takeno chances. Mills in goal, Macdon-neli at point, antI Sutherlandi as cuver,-may bed(epcnded uipon to pass ulp their01(1 stonewall defeîîce. On the for-war l hue we have to face two blanks.Scott on the wing, and Knight, lastyear's Captain, f roin cenître; the latterwill be particiilarly mnissed, being oneof t'ic best workers in Qilen's longlist of stars. Tlieir places wi'll piro-bably be taken by jack Willianms, ourfast freshm-an, anti Bruce Sutherlandifromn last year's Intermediates."Mudti(ge" Richardson is in bis oltIpilace on the wing anti playing bis oltistar gaine, andi Captain Walsh, asrover, is amnazing the freshmnen withlhis traditional hriiliancy. Altogetherwith that aggregation we repeat ourchances api)ea.r very roseate. But thç

2M


strtiggle will bc keen ani har1 for ouir

vcry strong.The Interietîate and Senior

teamis as yct bave flot been cleflnitelysetitled. Tiiere is plenty of splendidiaterial out looking for positions and,two good teamis shotilc easily be se-ctired.

It was found impossible to makefinal arrangements for the SeniorQueen's projectetl ýtnp 40o New York,but on Deccember 28th the team travel-led 'to Peterboro' for a practice gainewithi the crack teani of t1hat town. Itwas the flrst gaine of the scason andpractices hiad beeni few, but our menwon ont by 9-8. The :referee seems tohave been ratller harsh towards thevisitors ini his tîccisions-as a climaxptn'ting onie player on, the bench forthe last flfteen minuites-an unnustallysevere punishment. During this in-terval Peterboro' managed to tallytwo of their goals.

The Initermiediates alsotook a shorttrip during the holidays, playing in1Prescott on Dec. 29tli, and in Morris-btirg the succeeding nighit. Theylacked t'le services of two reguilar de-fence mcii, Craig at point and Clarkeat cover. At Prescott, after a splen-did contest, 'they were beaten by ascore of 8-1I. In Morrisbturg theystrtick tlieir stride I)cttor and wcre aleto win out to tite ttune of 8-3. Thegaines were of imntiicnsc benefit to ourmeni, who report white treatinent a.tboth towns.

HUMANISM.

Lecture by Pro fessor Watson to thePhilosophical Society.Ifear tlîat the titie wlîiclî 1 have se-

lected for my lecture may haveinadvertently given risc to tiisuinder-standing. Thie terni "Hunianisni" isusually enîployed to clesigiîate that

great revival of learning, wlîich, incompany witlî tlîe Reforin-ation, pt

an end to the Middle Ages, and us'l-ered ini a new era in tic world's bis-tory. The hunianist, in tlie old senseof the terni. was distinguished, oni the

one lîand, by his dlaim to culture andrefinenient, and, on the other lîand, bylis antagonisrn to external atlîorityand the fictions of an uinreal abstrac-tion. The fornier clîaracteristic bicdisplayed in thec passion and entlîusi-asnîi with wlîich lie threw himself ini-

to the study of classical literature, andl

by bis interest in all tluat concernedtlue lîigler life as lived here and now;the latter characteristic he displayed

er sense of the terni that 1 propose todlirect your attention, but to a brand-new philosophical doctrine, wlicl liasu1surped the naine and clainis to pos-

sC5s the feattures of the older Hunian-

isrn. The spokesmaii of this newcstthing in philosophy is Mr. F. C. S.Schiller, at present a fellow and tutorin the University of Oxford, whoonly the otiIer day contributed anarticle to a volume of essays issuingfrom that ancient seat of learning en-titled "Personal Idealisrn," and wliolias also published a collection of es-says of his own under the titie "Hu-rnanism," which set forth in a popui-

lar, flot to say a highly rhetorical,'style, the main articles of the newfaith. In justification of bis forcibleappropriation of the old narne for thenew thing, thîe autiior dlaims that 'bisphilosophy, in contrast to the preva-le'nt Àbsolutism, which at least in Ox-ford lias for some thirty years heldalmost undisputed sway, is distin-gtuished, like its predecessor, by itsopposition at once to barbarism andto, sclîolasticism. As to the firstpoint, hie declares tlîat the older philo-sophy is barbaric both in its temperand in its style. "Thie former," liesays, "displays itself ini the inveteratetendency to sectarianism and intoler-ance, in spite of the discredit whiclithe history of plîilosophy heaps uponit.

Why should we thereforeblind ourselv-es to the invincible in-(lividuality of philosophy, and denyeach other the precious right to be-hold reality each at the peculiar anglewhence he sees it? Why, whenothers will not and cannot see as wcdo, should we lose our temper andthe faith that the heavenly harmonycan only be achieved hy a multitudi-ous symphony ('multitudinouts sym-p'hony,' like 'the imobled queen,' isgood!) in wbich eacéh of 'the myriadcentres of expericuce souinds its ownconcordant note ?"* Then, "as forbarbarism of style, that teo is everrampant, even tbough it no longerreaches the colossal hieights attainedby Kant and H-egel. If Humanismican restore against sucli forces thelucid writing of the oldýer Englislhstyle, it will make Philosophy oncemore a subject gentlemen can readwith pleasuire." The new Humanism,however, is opposed flot only te Bar-barism, but te Schoýlasticism." ForScholasticism is one of the great factsin human.nature, and a fundamentalweaknýess of the learned world.'Now,as ever, it is a spirit of sterilisingpedantry that avoids beauty, dreadsclearness and detests life and grade,a spirit that grovels in mulddy techni-calîýty, buries itself in tbe futile bur-rowings of valueless researches, andconceals itself fromn human insight bythe dust-clouds of desiccated rubbishwhich it raises. . . .

"For it is clear that philosophyhas stili to be hemn again to enter onher kingclor, and that her votariesmust stili be boru again te purge theirsystems of thc taint of an inveteratebarbarisin." In short, in the repre-sentative of Humanisrn we have anew Erasmus, if nef a new Erasrnus,Luthcr and Melancthou ail in one.As these champions of culture and re-ligion and thýeology ma-de resolutcwar with barbarism, scholasticismnand despotism, se the new protagon-ist of Hurnanism does net conceal bisantago4nism to naturalism, and aboveail to absolutism. For "naturalism,"be tells us, "is worthy of respect forthe honest wýork it does, and has areal usc as a partial method in subor-dlination to the whole," whereas "ab-solutismn has no use, and its explana-tory value is nothing but illusion."tThus speaks the illustrious author.As may alr.eady have suggested itselfto you, the new phil-osophy, whateverother defects it may have,-if indeedit has any--can-ot be charged with thecrime of superfluous modesty. "Theancient shibbolýeths," exclairns our au-thor, "encounter open yawns and un-concealed derision.

"Thelongest way rouind," as the Germanproverb tells us," is the shortest wayhome," and 1 must therefore ask youlto have faith that in ýbeginning a-t apoint much earlier thain this new"Htumianism" we shahl perhaps mostreadily corne to see its meaning andthe degree of importance which at-taches to it.

Professor James, in one of bis c-casional papers, tells us that Kant is a'ýmere cuirio," and that the true apos-tolic succession of philosophy isthrough Dr. Reid, Mr. C. V. Pierceand Mr. Shadworth Hodgson. Thisextraordinary judgment, or lapse ofjudgment, one may venture to, ques-tion. To me it rather seems ýthat thephilosophy subsequent to Kant takesits origin from him, descending inthree separate streamsý, according asone or other of the aspects of the

*Ibid. j. viii.

Critical Philosophy is emphasized, orperhaps ratber over-ernphasized. Thisis iiot surprising, whien one consîdersthat the philosopihy of Kant was itselfan attempt to effect a union of theempiricism of the school cf Locke andHume, with the idealism cf Descartes,Spinoza and Leibnitz, and to do so bycombining the point of view of mo-demn science with a defence of moral-ity and religion. In seeking to effeetthis combination,-to do justice atonce ta the dlaim of science ýthat althings are connected together by in-violable mechaitical law and the oppo-site demand of morality and religionthat mani should lead a f ree, respon-sible and ideal life,-Kant was led todraw a bcld inýe of demiarcation be-tween Theoretical-and Practical Phil-osophy. Within the former fali thevarious phenomena included in thesystemn of nature, un(lerstan(ling by"4nature" flot only things and eventsbelonging ta the so-calleýd "externalworld," but even suich inner events asaur own immiediate feelings and de-sires. For, in Kant's thcory, nothingstrictly speaking belongs to thesphere of practice except that whiqfhpraceeds directly f romn the will of theagent; and the immediate appetitesand desires, which we find welling upwithin us, no more praceed f rom ourwills than the movement oif a stone orthe circulation of the blocd. Hence,what are ordinarily called "practical"sciences-such as surveying, farmîng,politics, &c.-are not in Kant's sense"épractical" at ail: they are mere-ly the application of theoretical rules.The on'ly "practical" science is thescience which contains the laws of afree agent; in other words, the sci-

ence of ethics. When a flan wills soas to confornm to moral law, bis voli-tion procecds froin himiself; it is hiethat acts, and flot soniething that actsonl Iii ; but, when lie is hurried awayby anl immediate desire-say by a re-vengeful iniptilse-it is not Ibis trucself thiat acts, and lie is nottruly free.

Iii tiis opposing Theoretical aniPractical Philosophy, Kant has pre-pared the way for a well-known char-acteristic of his doctrine, the exalta-tion of the Practical over the Theor-etýical Reason,-the "primacy of Prac-tical Reason,'' as it is usually called.If, as hie contends, the true man is thenian who wills the moral law-andfor Kant there is no other kind ofwilling-we must seek for the truenature of nman hy asking what is im-pli'ed in the moral consciousness. Thetheoretical consciouisness reveals tonsonly external appearances; it can butreduce the mnultifarieuis things ofsense to a mechanical system, or evenin its Ihighest reach suggest that thereinay be sornething heyoncl; but it isonly the practical or moral conscious-ness t'hat compels us to believe in ourown freedom and imimortality and inthe existence of God.

The abrupt contrast of thieoreticaland practical reason characteristic ofthe philosophy of Kant naturaily ledto divergent views. One class ofthinkers, representing what has beencalle(l "naturalism," cut the knot by(lenying in toto that we can determineanything iii regard to the region lyingbeyond the sphere of knowledge. Atthe saine time the influence of Kantuipon theni is so far evident that theyadmit the existence of a reality lyingbeyond our knowledge, while theydlaim that of it we can say nothingexcept that ih is. This is the attitude

of thinkers like I-luxley and Tyndall,Who found a philosophic exponent iiithe late H*erbcrt Spenccr. For ail]thinkers of this school the sole know-able formis of hein;, are those tbat canbe broughit within the mechanical sys-teni of nature, an(1 thouigh they dlaimithat what we thus kniow is the relativeand phenomenal, they deny that wecan extend our knowle-dge beyondthis limiited region. A second classof thinkýers attack the problem left byKant in an entirely different way.They mnaintain that the abstract oppo-sition of the theoretical and practicalr-eason is tintenable, an'd thereforethey deny that ultimately there is anyfundamental opposition betweenfaith and knowledge. Tihis is the at-titudle of Hegel and of the EnglisliIdealists. Hegel makes two maincriticisms of Kant. In the first place,ie clenies the abstract opposition offaith and knowl'edge, and thereforethe abstract opposition of theoreticaland practical reasoýn uipon which it isbased. In the second place, hie main-tains that the reason for this falsecontrast is the unwarran;ted assump-tion that the highest conception in-volved in experience is that of a mie-chanical systemi of individual things.It is this general line of thought thathas been followed by the EnglishIdealists. The first representative ofthis point of view was the late T. H.Green, who endeavored to develop thepositive part of the Kantian doctrine,while refusing to accept the principleof the primacy of pýraýctical reason.Green miaintained with Kant that otîrordinary experience of things pre-supposes the oI)eration of the (lis-tinguishing ami comibining activity ofthouight. This being so, hie claimiedthat, as the world of experience ex-

Now, M\r.Bradley, in his "Appea:rance andReality," lias attenipted in his ownway to go beyond the gluarded atti-tude of GIreen and to define the abso-lute or God. No onie lias enîphasizedmore strongly tlian hie tlîe infinitecomplexity of the world, the nîanifestwant of lîarinony and consistency inour ordinary experience ai-d the im-possibility of regarding it as an ulti-

Moreiver,' as nothingcan exist tlîat faîls entirely hevond ailpossible experience the absolu te iiii{ stbce not only self-consistent, but asingle or total experience. This, how-ever, is as far as we can go. Ultiniatereality is uindoubtedly a liarmo3niouswhole, an absolute spirituial unity, andif we coutld put ourselves at flic pointof view of thec Absolute we slîouldcertainly find that the whole complex-ity of otîr experience-including sci-ence, inorality, art and religion-wouilc be perceived as a single har-nionions whole. Mr. Bradley, how-ever, tlighlihe admits thiat there are"dýegrees of reality" within our ex-perience, refuses to admit that eventhe lîiglîest fo-rni of reality known to,uis is identical with the Absoluite.

This vicw was partlyindicated by Lotze and it has alsobeen adopted to a certain extent byMr. Balfour and others. (Our specialînteresýt, howevcr, lies in the formiwhich it assumes under the hands ofProf. James and Mr. Schiller.

The main obi oct Mr. James lus inview is to "defend the legitimacy ofreligions faith'; thiat is, to show thatwe are in certain cases justified in bc-lieving tlut for which n-o definite evi-dence can hoe advanced. This doctrineis the preýcise opposite of Rationalism,which dlaims that nothing should beaccepted as truc which cannot justifyitself at the bar of reason. Now, ofcourse, Mr. James does flot mean. thatwe are in all cases to take as truewhat it suits us personally to, believe.It may, for example, suit a politicalleader to believe fhat every memberof his party is scrupulouisly honest,but he is flot justified in taking hiswish as equivalent to fact. Again, itwould be very pleasant if a man whois roaring with rheumnatismn in bedcould by believing that ho was well atonce become well, or if a man whohbas only a dollar in his pocket couldconvert it by a wish into a hndreddollars; but it is obvions that in suchcases the talk of believing by onr vo--lition 'is simiply silly. Indeed, f romanother point of view it is worse thansilly, it is vile. "When one turns tothe nugnificent edifice of the physicalsciences and sees hýow it was reared;what thotisands of disinterested mor-al lives of men lie buried in its merefoundýations; what patience and post-

ponemient, wlut choking down of pre-ference, what submnissîon to flic icylaws of outer facýt are wrotnght intoits very stones and mortar; how ab-solutely ilmpersonal it stands in itsvast auguistness,-then how besottedand contemiptible seems every littlesentimentalist who comes blowing hisvoluntary smnoke-wrea:ths and pro-tending to dec ide things f rom ont ofhis private (Iream! Can wo wonýderif thos-e bred in the rnggecl and manlyschool of science should feel likespewing sncb snbjectiveismn ont oftheir rnotuths? The whole system ofloyalties which groýw uip in thoe schoolsof science go dead against its tolýera-tion; s0 that it is only natural thatthose who have caught the scientificfever shonld pass over te, the oppositeextrcme, and write somotimes as ifthe incorrnptibly trutbful intellectought positively to prefer, bitternossand unacceptableness to the heart inits cup.

And that delicious enfantterrible Clifford writes: 'Relief isdesecrated when given to unprovedand nnquestioned sta-tements for thesolace and privatýe pleasure of the be-liever. . .

I is sinfull because it isstolen, in defiance of our duty tomankind. That dulty is to guard our-selves froin such beliefs as f rom apestilenlce whýichl inay shortly masterour own body and theu .spread to therest of the towfl . It is wrongalways, everywhere, andi for everyone, to believe anything upon insuffi-cient evidence."*

Are we then ito conclude that ail be-lief s are determineýd by pure reason?To do so would be to flv dir.ectly inthe teeth of the facts. In truth wefind ourselves believing we hardlyknow how or why. "Hýere in tliisroom," says Mr. James, addressing agroup of Harvard students, "we ail ofus believe in molecules and the con-servation of energy, in dem.ocracyan(l necessary progress, in ProtestantChristianity and the duty of fightingfor 'the doctrine of the immortalMunroe,' ail for no reasons worthyof the iiame. .. Our reason isquite satisfied, in nine hundred andninety-nine cases out of every thon-sand of us, if it can find a few argu-ments that will do to recite in case ourcr.edulity is criticized by sorte oneelse. O)ur faith is faith in somet oneelse's faith, and in the greatest mat-ters this is miost the case."t

Now, in what circumstances art wejustified in exercising the 'will to'be-lieve ?" Under what conditions dotsa hypothesis presented te us for ac-ceptance becomie a belief or convic-

tion ? ln the first place, il inust bcliving, flot dead ; tliat is, it mlustawakcn a responsive interesi in uls, sothat wc do net at once set it asj(le asincredible. An bypotlhesis which 'lasno relation to thie indivi(iual thiîukcris dead and thereforc ncevcr passes in-to belief. If, for cxanifle. we areasked to believe that the Mahdi is aprophet of Gcd, we are presentedwith an hypothesis whicli finds no re-sponse in us, andI which is thereforeinstantly rejecteti. lu the secondplace, no hypothesis ever hecones abelief uinicss the option of believing orrejecting it is forced uipon uls; iother words, we rnust be prcsentedwith an absolute alternative. Such anhypothesis ils Christýianity and Agnos-ticism. We must accept eithcr theont alternative or the other. And iast-ly, the hypothesis prcsente(i iust bcinonientous, not trivial. In whatcases then are hypotheses pre'scntcdto us whichi are at once living, forcedand inuntous? li the first place,such an hypothesis is tht belief intruth itself, the belief that there istruth anid that our minds and it aremade for ecacli other. "What is this,"said Mr. James, "but a passionateaffirmation of desirt, in which our so-cial system backs us t1W.

Not only iii the general belief intruth and goodness, but in more con-crete problenis, we are forced to adoptan alternative for which no prepoýnderating evidence can be adduced,and this choice is forced uipon us justin those cases that are most momecnt-ous for us.

THE PROPOSED GYMNASIUM SCIIEME.

JT ýappeairs that rnany students areIbecoming very anxiouis for u

Iong-talked-of Gymnasium. Lndoubt-edly a good gymnasium, well equip-

ped in every way, would be a veryvaltuable addition to our splendidgroup of buildings now adorning theCollege Square. Moreover, it wouldbe one of ýspecial value to the studentsthemselves. For this reason it seemsvery fitting thiat the undergraduatesshould have a very strong voice in ainatter of such vital interest to thern.The need of a Convocation Hall ap-pealed to the students so strongly thatthey subscribed nloney to build it.But Grant Hall is used only a veryfew times in a year by the students,and is of much more remote value tothem than is a gymnasiýum, and itwoul(l seemn quite natural that thýeyshoulci also undertake to "father" thegyminasium seheme.

The classes in attendance in 1902,besides many other f riends of theUniversity, at that tinie threw the

weighit of their influence into theGrant Hall seheine and a useful andbeautifuil structure is the resuit. Atpresent there are in t'he Universitymnanv who have flot had an oppor-tinity *of showing their liberality toQuieen's. These might look withgreat favor uipon the gymnasiuinischem-e and subscribe very willinglyto a fund for this, purpose. The"Years" have been vieing with oneanother in making sacrifices toQueen's, and those who we:re floýt for-tunate enoughi to, be here in 1901-02will flot like to bec surpassed even inthis by those Who are now so niuch"Out of date." When the schemne is

once set on foot we think we canpromise that the stuýdents of- to-daywilI prýove as good friends to tlicUniversity as did those of three yearsago.

The enthusiasrn already evinced bythe students in ýthis matter is veýrycommendable. A gymnasium is need-ed and no -one knows that better thanthe undergraduate, unless it be sornevery wise "pos:t mortem." This en-thuisiasrn seems to indicate that thetimie is probably ripe to undertake theproject. The instalîment plan mightagain be used; it served admirablybefore. It meets t:he resources ofyoung men better than any other con-ceivable plan. University men arequite willing to do somethiing fortheir Alima Mater if they are not indanger of assuming obligations theycan neyer nieet. Make the plan easyand appeal to the students with un-hesitating confidence and we can be-speak a hearty response.

But, while there appearýs to, be cou-siderable enthusiasmn for a gymnasi-um, we must rem-ember that it is wiseto construet only a first-claýss building

TIIE POST OFFICE.

F OR soine tire a few agitatorshave been endeavoring to cre-

ate a littie stir regarding the CollegePost Office. Twvice this matter hasbeen brouight tip in the Aima MaterSociety and on neither occasion (lid itcali forth anyv (isciussian. Since themattýer lias flot been thoroughly yen-tilate(I it socems only fair tlîat bothsides of the question should be fairlyweli presented, before anv, radicalstepýs are takýen.

It shoul1 be reniembere1 tlîat,while thc office in thie T1îcologicalHall is used as the (listribtlting officefor ail mail not properly addressed tothîe (lepartmcnts to-- wlicl the studentsbelong, yet it is ini a ispecial sense theArts an(l Eheological stuclents sttu-(lents' office. (Thie Faculties of nie-(licine an(l Science 'have made theirown arrangements regarding thieirmail.) This fact seems to a certainextent to give tieýsýe other Faculties,Arts and Theology, thue main voice 0o1the quiestion. It lias ])eil ilitinuate(lthat tlîe other Departnients have littiecause to worry and no reason to'coii-plain.

The Ulniversity provides for thuePost Office partly for the convenienceof'the stulents and partly for its ownconvenience. Thie great bulk of themail does not come to the students atail but to, the University. Takçe ontwhat goes to the Professors, theRegistrar, the Library, the ladies, theReading Room, and what belongs tothe Medical and Science buildings,and there wouId be but a small frac-tion ieft to be distributed at the of-fice. Besides distributing the mailthe postrnasters serve the Universityby arranging with the students foriockers, etc. ; they serve the students

il, rnany ways biesides those inciudedýn their agreement with the Senatc.They seil tickets for everythino; ru-ceive suliscriptions for everything;tluey do a hundred things that only astudent Cani do for the students.Moreover, we cannot forget tliat anninsatisfactorv attempt was once be-fore muade to take the office ont of thehands ýof the students.

Now, while the Aima Mater So-ciety nîay couisi(ler this quite withinthe province of its autlîority, and per-haps it dloes properiy corne un(ler itsjturisdiction, it seerns toi nis to be oneof those questions which shoulld notbe allowe(l to pass tlirougli withot

,notice of motion, or at ieast a thor-ouigl discussion. The Senatýe, whiclîlias the greater intýerest in flic matter,is not at ail anxious to deprive thestudents of any work they can do, andtlîey should know that ýoniv a snîali)odyv of students are at ail desirous ofseeing sncbi tluings pass into the hanýdsof permnenuît officiais. The service ismuch buetter than it uised to bie. Form-eriy the office was neyer openeid ex-eept between thîe Theologicai classesin the forenoion. And besides, weare flot very anxious to close up anoffice whIichi we find useful in manyotlier ways, for t'le sake Of meetingthîe denîands of a few wiîo want mailat ail iîours. We think that the ma-jority of the students are quite oppoýs-ed to any radical change. Some fewchanges nîiglît be made which wouidbe advantageonis, but these wouid noteffect very seriousiy the present ar-rangement.

This is not intended as the iastwor1 on thue question, but it is caicu-lated to cail the attention of our read-ers to many phases of thé questionwhich might easily be overlooked. So

It is said that tlie Hon. A. GJ. P-nlias bis political knife well whetted,rea(ly to insert it in the neighborhoodof the Governimcnt's fifth rib.

We arc -lad to see those eiectricliglits along'the walks ieading to theCoilege buildings. This is a goodmove. N.ow get ils that "mail box"and place it at the junction of thewalks. Why is this deiayed? Wcfei certain that if our Dominion re-presentative werce interviewed in thisinatter lie wouild at once procuire itfrom the Post Office Department.Perbaps a written request from the'University auithorities woilld hastenmatters.

The Queen's University CurlingClub, recently organized, adds an-other departinent to our Atbletics.We lhope that very soon the Club willbe recognized by the Aima Mater So-ciety as ail other sucb organizationsare. In a few years the Universitymight 'be able to enter a couple ofrinks in the local series. 0f courseas yet the students are members ofthe Kingston Curling Club, and havemerely formed a sub'-organizationwitliin that Club.

But those who xvercfortunaýte enough to belong to thieranks eligibie for attendance, by vir-tue of Seniorship, post-nîortemiý-ship,or post-grad.-sýhip, were unanimouisin 1)ronouincing this the niost enjoy-able and suiccessfull affair of the wliolesca soýn. 1

The cominiittee had been fortunateenough ýto secuire the uise of GrantHall, and the facilities for dlancingwýere excellent. Conspicuiots by rea-son of its absence, was the ulsuaicrush.

tainly reflected credit on herseif, and

on her year, by the splenidid points

clear manner in which these were pre-

sented. There was no 'beating about

QUEEN'S UNIV/ERSITY JOURNAL.

___ Ar1io.

TJ IHE students at Queen's havetkcn a verv keen int.erest in

the Provincial election just heki, aswas manifested by t.he succe.ssfulmeeting held under the auspices ofthe Aima Mater, where both the can-didates for election addressed themeeting. A most courteous hearingwas given ýta the speakers, as it wasthought that there was something tobe said on eacli side worthy of thecarefuil consideration of those prcsent.

Two com-mon attitudes of menwere discernible du.ring this cantestwhich are also exhibited in otherspheres of life. The first was that theone side was surpassingly virtuous;the second, that both parties wereequally wick-ed and, therefore, to bespurned altogether.

It is quite natural that the firstprinciple should Sa largely abtain anentrenched place in the hearts ofmen; for man is by nature a proýsely-tizing animal. He makes for himselfa place in the procession that followsthe beaten path and endeavours tapersuade as many as passible -of hisfellaws wbo follow another road, taleave their cormdes a'nd throw intheir lot with him. And generalýlythis proselytizing individual is himselffollowing a leader whýo bas fired bis

aimagination with mnagnificent visionsof a better life; of freer and widerscope for the satisfaction of illimitablebuman wants. This is the safety-valve, to speak metapborically, afdemocracy. Here and there a dole-fui voice f romi a woe-begone couinte-nance, is beard, complaining bitterlyof encroachment on particular rights;repression of individual wîsh and will

as sternly as in the days of absoltismn. And thýese complaints mean thats'orne men are losing confidence in thcuipward march of the buman racethrough demaocracy. Are flot privaterights infringed upon? th.ey cry; theaid watchword of freedlom firstshouted by humanity in the dawuingof the day, although the clouds were50 thick-gathered vet,-that trumpet-cail! of "Laissezfaire !"-is it ta be ut-terly lost in the diii and clamauir ofthe cry af vested rights, corporationprivileges, party iron-rule, and thesway af the majaritv? Our answeris: -1y na means!i If thau artwranged din it inta thy brother's-orpr-eferably, tby sister's-ear; and la!the crowd will leave their beaten roadta folloýw after thee. The old world,full as it is of hideaus wrong and evilas yet, is nevertheless through muchstrife purging itself pure. The safetvof democracy is that in the plain heartof the people there is that wbich findsaffinity with truth ever; and thouglithere may be timýes when the heavenslaower with storm-cloudis, we can sayfor tlhe future what Coleridge saiýd inthe past:

"Ye clouds that 'round the dawningeast assembled,

The sun was rising, though ye hid bislight!"

Many a mnan wbýo ought ta knowbetter, but who bas allowed bis brainsta graw flabby, sits witb cigar andnewspaper and, baving read of alyncbing in the Southern States, or ofanother howl over corruption here inOntario raised by one or ather of theparties, heaves a sigh for dt "goodlaid times," conjuriug up before hirnpictures of Puritanical governmentand stern dispatch of business and

erring nien by light-stepping angels.No doubt hiad lie lived in those dayshi wouild have hiad ample tiiiie to plana systemn of governrnent for the fui-

ture as he sat in the pillory or rodethc \voodCl buicking-hiorse. Thîis isno< tiilue to sigh or even groan ; but tolic upl andi doing a citiLCfl's duty whileo)ne may. Pro-bably if our friend ofthe cigar ani sighi could take a trip ofinvestigation to thie Souithern Stateshe would marvel tliat so littie lynchi-ing is actually ýdonc; and if lie willbut pierce the streamn of corruptionwith his plummet he will uindoubtcdlycliscover nothing more than a triekie-let of fro.th.

It is a matter, too, of congratula-tion, that so many men do follow apowerful leader along a beaten path.We hear too muicli now-a-days ofeach man nîaki.ng his own road. Weare glad of ruts for humanity's sake,providing they lead to, a good and de-sirable goal. Too many men wastetimie and themselves by dissipatingtheir powers toward the four pointsof the compass. It is, after all, thesteady marcbh, uinwearied and perse-vering, that couints for most in if e.Let us flot mmind the ruts humanity'swaggon roils along, lieit ever so slow,so long as it is hitched "to a star."

We have rýead somnewhiere of a maricalled Sampson who, when disap-pOinte(l with 11f e, pulshed on the pil-lars -of a portico uinder which manywere standing, and brotigeht down thewhole structure with a crash on him-self and hiýs fellow-men. There aretoýo many Sarnpsons in Ontario to-day, who, because they have failed,cuirse society and in blind rage seek topull down its pillars upon which theyhave for some time been restingthemselves.

T HE epidemic of festivities wichfeli uipon the erstwhile, sober

and demuire denizens of the Hall withsucb irresistible severity seemis tohave suibsided as suddenly as it camne;ani once more wc resuime our indus-trions and ascetie habits. One of ourmembers suiggested that probably thisweek of dissipation was intended as asort of substituite for the usuial Alum-ni week. If so, the feast of goodthings and fun and music have prov-en an even lietter offseýt to our some-times dry and indigestible, intellectualpabulurn, than the banquet of ýoratoryand reasc>n providcd by our sable-coated Altimni. One and ahl, we areindebtied to our Principal and Profes-sors, and of course to our hostessesalso, for the several very pleasantevenings whiclb thieir kindncess lias af-forded us.

It is a delightful revelation to sitarouind the bouintiful supper-table

299


with our Principal at the h'ead acti.ngas host an-d cliairman, and to hear alouir Professors, yon and old, mak-in- speeches andl telling stories justlike ordinary men, you know. Weregret that they were flot ail there,however, and that Dr. jordan was flotable to make the roli-caîl complete.That xvas one good speech that wemissýed. Our I4rofessor of New Tes-tament Exegesis disclosed a rich veinof genuine lumor and kept us con-vulsed and constantly applauiding aslie explained h()w i;t was that lecturesin Divinity Hll were sometimes dry.

lu the capacity of liost, iii his turn,our Church l-listory Professor carvedup a turkey ini the samne enthusiasticand thorougli manýner in which hecarves up the roasts and joints of hisclass-roorn banquets, serving up tid-bits instead of the unpalatable fareoften offered ini Church History lec-tures. Surely th.ere's a lot in thecarvingl T hen, Io and behold! heproves also, to, be a inusician, andknows tlue authors of our good oldScotch and Englisli songs as well asPlato and Aeschylus,--inýdeed, heknowýs our College Song Book, wordsai-id tuneýs and ail, and can sing betterthan our own Pope, who bolds theSong Book as the apple of his eye!1

Indeed, thése are gatherings whichwe will remember long after we haveforgotten our Greek and Hebrewparadigms and the dates of the greatChurcli Councils. We get old soonenough and stay old a long, longwhile and are glad to be young aslong as wc can. Sýo, to repeat, weare greatly indebted to our hosts andhostesses ou these several occasioýns.If our assurance that we thoýroughlyenjoyed their kind entertaiumetit is in

any sense a rcward, they are amnplyrewarded for their splendid hospital-ity.

We rejoice toý hear that two of thememnbers of the Hll, who were theherocs of soine strauge adventures ()c1a nearby mission-field, escaped insafety and returued to the fold nonethe worse for their experience. Itseems, so rtimor gocth, that one of thesubjects, a sedate senior and highifiluctiýonary, in the Hall, went to min-ister to the nceds of the aforemention-ed field and a kind P>rovidence quar-tered hlm in a house \vtiere a numberof pretty youug lady sýchool teachersboarded. COut of :the kiudness of bisheart he took one of the Young ladieswith hlmn on the long, louely drive tothe other appointuients, not for corn-pany of course, but to explain. the in-tricacies of the road (which, by theway, is as straight as a string). Ailwent well till the drive home, when,woc and lamentation! they got lost.It was the horse's fault-awfully stu-pid horse; anyhow. At the boardingbouse their non-appearance' conjuredup visions of elopements, etc., in thepropri-etor's excited mind. His verdictwas that: "She was bard up for adrive anyhow."

Mr. Eci.Corkill, a '04 gradtiate in Mining Eu-gineering, lias recently been appoint-cd Inspector of Mines for ODntario.This position entails heavy responsi-bilities, but we feel sure thaýt yotingas hie is, Mr. Corkill will fill the posi-tion withi credit to himsclf and hisAlnma Mater.

Mr. Fraser Reid, B.Sc., a fellow-graduiate of Mr. Corkill, is now As-sistant M\anager of the famous cor-undurn mine at Comberm-ere. Thiswell-nrerited. promiotion nîcets withithc liearty approval of Mr. Reid'snumerouis frienýds at tQueen'sý, andmnore especially amiong the membersof the Engineering Society, of whichlic was a popular member.

H. H. Scott, representative of theEngineering Society at the McGillScience Dance, reports an excellenttinie and speaks highly of the hýospi-.tality extcnded to hirn by the McGillstuclents and their friends. Thedance was hcld ini the spaciousdrauiglting rooni of the College onthe evening of Jan. 20,th, and was anentire success.

Prof. W. G. Miller lias coip'leted aweek of lectures ýto the nîiining stu-dents onl Econoinic Geology.

Mr. E. H. Pense and UrquùhartFairlie were arot.nd the halls again

We are sorry to iearn that P. A.Shaver, '05, is confined to the hospi-tai. Here's hoping that our friends,the meds., will soon -have himi on hisfeet again.

The regular meeting of the Engi-neering Society was held on Friday,the 2Oth, in the Cbemis-try Lectureroom. The ehief points of discussionwere on matters per.tai.ning to thecoming dance. The programme con-si'sted of a couple of excellent recita-tions by J. L, King, and a paper onElectric Railway Motors by E. W.Henderson. Mr. Henderson basspent some years in the armature andtests department of the CanadianGeneral Electric Company's works at'Peterboro and is therefore fhoroýugh-ly acquainted with bis subject. Hedescrîbed and explained in consider-able detail the various processes andoperations by whicb the crude ma-terial iýs transformed into' that com-plete and useful machine, an ElectricRailway Motor.

M'GILL 6-QuiEEN's 3.IN Montreal on Jan, . 3th, (iueen's

met McGill ini the first matc'h oftbe Intercollegiate season, meetingwith an inifortulnate d:efeat of sixgoals to t1hree. Altboulgb the gainewas dlean and at times fast, bothteams, especially Queen's, showedlack of condition, and occasionallythe play feil off. Queen's weaýk pointwas in their absence of combination-work, most of their efforts ýbeing in-dividual. They werýe also weakeneclby the absence of Milîs from goal,thougb Pennock Who tooýk bis placemade many bot stops. On Quleen'sside Richardson and Walsh attractedmost attention and were always dan-gerous. McGill bas a couple of starsin Lindsay at goal and Gilmour asrover, the latter's work in close check-ing-back and in'tercepting passes be-ing most effective. Tbe referee wasrather too lenient, overlooýking'a gooddeal of tripping.

Altbough defeated, Queen's sbouldflot feel discouraged; the year isyoung yet. Witb Milis in goal forthe balance of tbe season and ourmen in better condition, our chancesstill look of tbe best.

Play opened briskly and tbe pucktravelled from end to en'd, tbreaten-ing ýeach goal. After about five min-utes' work Gilmour ýlanded the puckin tbe net for tbe first score. Quienl'spressed bard but coýulýd not get pastthe opposing defýence, till, at lengthiMcGill brýoke away and dropped intbeir second goal.

R.M.C. 3-QUEEN'S 1.

A crowd of about 500 saw the

Cadets win the first match of the local

Intercollegiate round on Jan. 13th by

3-1. The game was exciting,thoughl not of the best variety of

hockey. R.M.C. is practically the

same as last year and put up a goaýd

brand, th-eir defence being strong and

thýeir forwards fast, with some idea af

combinaýtion. Queen's defence was

good, Mîlîs in goal puitting up his

usuial game, an-d Clarkýe, and Craig

playing stro-ngly. The forwards, how-

ever, had no concerted work corning,-

every mian playing for himself ; theirshooting, too, was not of the best. Thefirst haif end'ed 2-1 for the Cadets.In tie second half only one tally wasmade; Queen's defence allow-ed them-'selves to be drawn ont and Powellput in a goal, leaving the final score3-1.

round wvas thus lost by onie point. The-

game was a splendid exhibition of lu-

termediate hockey. Fired by theclose score of flic first match, bath

teams fought tao the ring of the gong,thoughi the heavy ice fagg-ed theniconsiderably towarýds the last. TheCadet line-up was the saine as before,but Queen's forward line had beenirnproved by Sutherland and Wil-

liams. Milis wýas again requisitionedfor goal, though the playing of snch

an uindoubted Senior seems question-able, however m.uch within the milesas in this case. His work was reallybrilliant an.d saved a rnuch largerscore. Clarke at caver putt up asplendid gai-ne. The forwards playedwell, though. as before not tryingmuch combination.

The second half was oýf the whirl-wind variety; every man played thegame, urged on by the cheers fromtheir frantie supporters on the sides.The first score feil to Queen's on ashoût by Farnham, but a minute late-rPowell evened up on a nice bit of play.Frýom 'that on the play was practicallyQ ueen's, tihough the Cadets oftenbroke away.

Our Toronto brethren seem to havefallen in love withi the ChampicmshipCup of the Intýercollegiate RugbyLeague, or possibly their splendidsuccess in 1903 caused them to, workit into their trophy-stand as a per-manent ornament. Whatever thecause, in spite of various requestsf romn Queen's Rugby Club and theSecreitary of the IntercollegiateUnion, the Cup bas not yet been sentto the rightful holders and no answercan be obtained to the communica-tions. There can be little excuse forsuch remissions on the part of anyclub of the League, and we trust tosoon see the trophy once more in thecentre of our own collection.

Q ueen's Hockey Club hiad arrangcdfor a game on fan. Il 9th with thetouring Yukon team, but the daycame without the visitors. As ar-rangements had been made to reindertheir stay in the city as pleasant aspossible, such treatment cause(l some,bitterness.

THn ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

W H EN the Alumni of Queen'sin the neighborhood of King-

ston, together with their friends,met on Friday evening, Feb. 2nd,an Association was organized witha full list of worthy officias-butthe whole thing stopped there.That there should be an organi-zation of this sort seemed to beabout ail those present had decidedupon. Why it was necessary orwhat it was to do, beyond enterta-ing wandering Alumni, no oneventured to point out. Everythingthat was done was, as one memberexpressed it, " railroaded throughin short order."

It seemed rather strange to usthat no one could state any strongand convincing reason for formingsuch an Association. of course itwas evident that the idea behindthe meeting held was the hope ofaid to the Endowment scheme.Thisis ail very well at present, but

the organization will fali to piecesas soon as this work is accompiishedif it is not to serve some more per-manent purpose. We pointed outbefore in these coiumans how itshotild be made the central organi-zation of Queen's Alumni of whiçhail] the other local Associationsshould be Branches.

No University canafford to loose trace of her grad-uates.

POST GRADUATE WORK IN

THEOLOGY.IN Queen's University we havesplendid course,, outlined in our

Calendar, leading to the degrees ofDoctor of Phiilosophy and I)octor of,Science, but as yet xve have nocourse leading to the degrec ofI)octor of I)ivinity. This omissionl'rom our Post Graduate Coursesseerns te us to be a great detect.If a Thelogical student, atter coinpleting his B.D. course finds thathe is stili rather young to undertakethe regular work of the rninistry,and that he would prefer te remainat his studies a few years longer, heis at once confronted with theproblem of courses. The waythings are at present he mnust eitheroutline some work for himself orelse leave the Theology altogetherand go back to the Post Graduatework in Arts.

Is this entirely in the interests,of Theology ? Doubtlcss some ofour Arts Professors would be temp-ted to answTer in the affirmative, butwe are rather doubtful about it.The immense fields for researchthat are being opened up in Theo-logy, by the new critical method,present to the student problems noless tempting, and certainly no lessessential to the h ighest life of man-kind, than either Philosophy orScience. But students want definite

courses, flot onlv te spur there onto do their best work, but to guidethemn througb the intricate mnass ofmaterial in order that their effortsmiax bc attended with the bestresuits. Only sebolars who havebeen over the ground can outlinea profi table course foir the youtlhxvho does flot know much of themagnitude of the subjeet lie wouldstudy. We woLild like to sec theUniversity provide a course oif studylcading te the degree of D)octor ofDivinity similar to the Ph. 1).courses in Arts. The w<,rk shouldbe fairly clifficuit and require thefull three years study after thestudent has secured his degree ofB.D)., just as for a Ph.D. degree,three years special work is requiredafter the degree of Master of Artshas- been awarded.

At present there are one or twostudents in Tbeology, who contem-plate doing some special work onthe Old Testament. The efforts ofthese students miglit be directedand stimulatcd and made te meanmuch more for themselves and forthe chuLrdli, if a definite course wereoutlined, which would require stren-tious work and presistent applicationto thoroughly cover it in the time.Now, that ÇQucen's is in a specialsense the University of the Churel,this particular course seems to bemore appropri ate. H onorary de-grecs are often conferred on menfor such trifling reasons, that itwould be a step in the riglit di-recton, for Queen's to provide away to this degree, that wouldrequire ripe scholarship and a longcourse of carnest application tostuldy.

If the University still wisbcd tog-rant lhonorarv r).D1. d egrees thiscotild bc easiy arrange(l, evCfl ifa clefinite e(>urse were otitlined.Should it bc considered uinfair t'oput the \vritten ciegree on a parwith the honorary recognition ofwortb, then wc woild suggcst tbatthe P1hLD courses lie made to cuverTheology as well as Science andArts. 'Plie difference in the subjeetsslhould flot stand in the way at ail].Thc stu-dy of Oriental 1anguagescannot differ vcry widely froru thestudy of Classies or Modemns, andthe presenit r-nethod of criticismi andtheological research arc as pro-found and as thoroughly scientificas the methods of Plîilosophy orpractical Science. Hence therecould lbe no very serions objectionto extending the Ph.D. courses tocover this department of learningas well.

It is often regretted by the leadersin the Church that the young menleave college so soon, and that theydo nlot pursue any very difinite lineof study after they do leave. Whvis tlîis ? Largcly because therc isno way of recognizing the workthat is donc. We firmly believethat if the University providedsuitable courses that many of theyouinger men in the Hall wotuldremain a few years longcr, ratherthan rush into a work xvhich theirvouth unfits them for; and alsowe believe that a nuntiber of thestudi ous men who have left thcCollege, would welcome such acourse since it would serve not onlvto direct their labors, but it Nvouldp(>55CS5 the additional valuie of astimulas to their efforts by affordingpublic recognition, in the end, of

the work, thus accomplished. Wehope the University will arrangefor- some suchi lost-graduatc workiii Theology at an early date.

EDITQRIAL NOTES.The discussion on the Railxvay Bill

in the Mockz Parliament was allowedto sink into the purelY burlesque andfarcical. This was probabl y due tothe nature of the bill itselt which in-vited a ludicrous discussion and ab-solutel 'N shut out any serlous dehate.This is ail righit for one night but if in-terest is to 1)e suistained we must in-troduice a good strong debate that\Vil I be equal at least to the inter-

year co ntests, if not indeed, equal todie Inter- U niversitv debates.

The O-ueen's Association at King-ston met, banqueted themselves, or-ganized, elected officers and separa-ted without doing anything definite.

What does the Association intendto do? The Toronto Association andothers have undertaken some definitework for the University by proposingto raise considerable sums for theHaif-Million Dollar EndowmentScberne. 0f course we do flot ques-tion the good intentions of the asso-ciation here, but already every asso-ciation bias its work ail planned. TheAlumni in and about Kingston arenot to be outdone in the point of gen-erositx' to Queen's and we are quiteconfident tbat the reason no definitewvork wvas outlined was simply be-cauise the p>lans were not then fullymatured. You may expect to hear ofanother meeting in the near future.

A reconsideration of the proposedchanges in the arrangements regard-ing the College Post Office is a vers'

We are glaul to have those Sundavafternoon addresses commence again.At this time of year they are very en-joyable.- \e hope, however, thatthey wont be continued on into theexamination month.

If the AIma Mater Society Execu-tive, the Champion Foot Bail Teamiand the Hockey Team would get theirphotos taken as early as possib)le theywould oblige the Journal very much.We had hoped to have one of thesegroups for this number but have beendisappointed. There are as manygroups yet to be pul)lished, as thereare numbers of the Journal to comeout, and for this reason we are anx-ious to have these groups as earlY as

THE journal extends congratul-Tations to the girls of the Sopho-More year, who carried off thechampionship in the inter-year debatesini the Levana Society.

Spring, spring, happy spring, hasever been a favorite theme of poets.They have praised the beauties ofnature at this season, the budding tree,the verdant, tender green of the grass,the brigbt sunshine, the balmy air-they have sung of the love that fires anmauly bosoni at this tinte when natureclothes herseif in a fresh new garmientof verdure, and innunierable as thesesongs are, are they not all songs ofgladness? To the poet, when thisseason suggests nothing but joy,-but alas, we are not ahl poets,-veryfew, or none of us, 1 fear here atQueen's can lay dlaim to that titie-even though the word amateur beprefixed to it-if this standard of aneager j oyous longing for April beapplied to us.

And yet April is coming veryquickly too, we have to turn theleaves of the Calendar but twice andit is upon us. We can't very wellbelieve it now with the thermometerten below zero, and huge banks ofsnow piled up along the streets-butjust corne over to the College cloak-room, or up to the Levana rootn andsettle down to read a delightful story;in a few moments you f airly imagineyou hear the first robin chirp, and seethe trees bursting forth into buds-for this is what will happen. En-grossed in your book, for a time youare oblivious to the voices around you,but one hittle word, "4examinations,"arrests your attention, and even at the

Most iîlteresting point of your storyyou needs must stop and listen. " DoYofl know it is only seven weeks untilthe examinations begin, aîîd I haveail my Math. to get into my head yet,flot to speak of those Modern books 1have to read. "

" Seven weeks," tittered in a toueso tragie that the other occupants ofthe room ail turn to sec what it catiniean.

"Seven weeks, and 1 hav'nteven began to read my Latin yet. "

With that the two speakers hastilyleave the rooin whether to search forthe goddess of inspiration or for sonieshort road to knowledge we cannotassert. But for that morning at least''Ainsice'' has lost ail ixîterest for you-for are there flot just as tragicthings happening every day of ourlife, especially of our life here atQueen's towards spring, as canl berecounted on the pages of any mag-azine. A neglected French book isquickiy searched out, and on openingthe page at the prose passage to betranslated, once again you receiverather an unpleasant shock when youhave to decide upon the idiomic phrasefor " passing an examination."'

Having finished your work yousettie down for as you think, a welldeserved rest hefore class, and a chatwith one of your friends. NaturaliyHockey anid the varions matches areinteresting topics of conversation.You have seen both big matches ofthe season and are yet enthusiastic tothink of watching the foitunes ofQueen's Il. and III. Then yourfriend, a senior probably, hauntedaiways by the vision of a much desiredroll of parchment, tied with a weebow of red ribbon, working ever witha feverish haste ; or possibly a post-

mortem, wlio though dead to ail otherfeelings, can appreciate the morekeenly the harrowing thoughts whichthe one word examination recals-looks at you iii mild surprise andanswers.

"I arn sorry I can't go, but ofcourse from now-on I have to 'play"

_.Once again you feel exactly asyou did the time you were skating onthe river when the ice was thin, whenyou suddenly feit yourself breakingthrough, and sinking down in theice-cold water beneath.

Fortunately the bell gives itsfamiliar tingle at this moment andfor once, gladly you leave the Levanaroomn expecting to hear an inspiringlecture, and for an hour at least toforget about those "sept. semaines."But no-the flrst sentence that falîsfroni the lips of the professor strikesterror to your iieart.

" Just a word to the wise will besufficient. Rernember in about sevenweeks we shall ail meet again inConvocation Hall and then' -but therest is ail lost to one person at least.Is it a swoon ? If so, it is the firsttime in your life, but have you everhad such a provocation ?-

At noon hour you stoically pick upyour books, leave the room, enter thecloak rooni, when without a word to,anyone you put on hat and cloak andfairiy rush from the building, lestagain you hear that awful knell,'seven weeks, seven weeks!Once in the clear frosty air you

alniost forgot your troubles and beginagain to enjoy life as of old, but asyou are about to cross the walkleadixig to the old building, you seesomneone hastening along towards you,and suddenlly there is an encouniter.'Oh, pardon me-really I amn sorry,

but you see I am in a great hurry-Ihave to rush off to the library for acertain book of reference before I canwrite nxy history essay. I simplymust have it now for you know it isonly seven weeks until examinationsbegin." With these breathless wordsshe hastens off, while you ?-youlie still and quiet on the ground,having fallen not so maucl f rom. theforce of the encouinter, but from, theshock which those two words hadcaused you. Von are conscious of asharp pain in your right ankie, andyou realize what that means, evenbefore you bear the verdict ofthe medical who has been hastilysummoned,-" a bad break," sevenweeks at least of perfect quiet will benecessary.

Then and then only a quiet peice-fulness steals over you, and in spiteof the pain, in the inidst of' the ex-clamations of pity showercd uponyou,-yoti heave a sigh of relief andsay, - - yea, verily, the fates arepropitions, no more worry about thosewretched exarninations, and besidesI'll be able to use my Hospital ticket.With that you lose consciousness andwaken later to find yourself stowedaway in a small white ward in ahandsorne stone building on StuartStreet, which seemed in trnth a heavenof rest after the storms and worriesof the morning.

On the evening of Tuesday, thetwenty-fourth of January, a merrycrowd of laughing, chattering, bun-dled-up humanity, set ont fromi King-ston to give a Concert at Wolfe Island,in aid of the Q. U. M. A.

The weatber was cold and a triflestormy, but, undauuted, the loyal


sons and daugliters of Queen's pushed

forward, and after surmounting many

difficulties arrived at their destination

to find that they were their own

audience. Well, it was scarcely as

bad as that, but the Wolfe Isianders

to judge from the number presentmust flot have learned by years ofproximity to 1 Kingston, that it takes

a good deal of "weather " to fr1 ghten

a Queen's mai, or womian either.

After the report was circulated

among the inhabitants, that two van

loads really had corne, a few more

people arrived to fill up some of the

forlorn looking empty benches, and

the program began. Doctor Goodwinmade an excellent Chairmani, and the

evening passed pleasantly in Solos,Duets, Mandolin selections, and Reci-

tations ; some of the members of the

Ladies' Glee Club sang a chorus, andan especially gifted gentleman of the

party gave an exhibition of Ventrilo-quism. 'ýAfter the Concert refresh-

ments were served by some of the

women of the Church, and the visitors

were by no means backward about

taking heartily of everything, the

cold wintry air, and long drive having

given them excellent appetites.

On the return trip an upset and

some narrow escapes lent interest and

had no serions results. Indeed one

niember of the party laughingly madethe remark that '<considering the many

dangers encountered the mortality was

very low. " Everyone reached home

in excellent spirits, unless perhaps the

man who was interested in the

financial side of the evening, though

if he had other feelings on the subjecthe managed to conceal theni ail.

M l. Henry Bourassa, M.lP. ad-dressed' the Fol itical Science

Club and their friends in Convocation

Hall on Fridav, the 3rd inst. The at-

tendance was large, we are glad to

say, as the. address was one long to

be remembered. Protessor Shortt oc-

du1 )ied the chair and introduced the

speaker with a few words indicatingMr. I3ourassa's position among the

French Canadians: and wbat manner

of mmnd bis bearer', shiould bear to-

wvard bintMr. B3ourassa was biearti ly received;

as we are ])roud to sav, any speaker

witb anytbing to say, no matter hiow

unpalatable bis views may be, always

is received at ÇQueen's. The speakercaptivated his audience at once with

his inimitable French grace of mani-ner. He was plainly a man with agreat talent for affairs. lie was clear

and rapid in his uttetance: and exhib-

ited, too, strenuousness in thouglit

and action. lie sbowed mucli realrhetorical power and immediately

took hold of the audience with sucb a

grip that it was neyer loosened until

lie bad delivered his last entbusiastic

period.For about an hour the speaker gave

an historical sketch of the struggle of

the Frenchi Canadians for their rigbts,

-their peculiar customs and religion.

The sixty thousand Frenchi whom the

brave Montcalm lost to the British by

the hattle of the Plains of Abraham,were descendants of the Frenchi of the

north and west of France. Their

forefathers bad erm grated to Canada

before that time when the local insti-

tutions of this section of France had

been destroyed or centralized by the

power of a despotic King. On arriv-

halsin, and even bevyond: devotedlybraving dangers of evelY form; evendeath at -the hands of relentless andinhuman tribes of Indians --especiai-]y the IroqIuois. While their priests

gave their bWood in the l)ursuît oftheir sacred calling, the energeticcolonist cleared the land of timber,,and slowly, at great odds, forgedahead to the possession of good farms

and comfortable homes.It must ever be borne in mmnd, that

these da-ririg pioneers jealouslv guard-ed their rigbts from the encroach-ments of European French officiaIswho came out to instruet or rule them.One of the most prominent officers ofLouis complained that the colonialmilitiamen refused to serve under anybut their own nificers. The FrenchCanadians were no longer Europeans,indeed, but Canadians. After the

surrender of Montreal to General

Murray, at the close of the Seven

Years' \Var, Canada was ceded to

Britain. Murrav endeared himself to

the French b.Y his humane and just

consideration of their dlaims. Whien

the United States armvy under Mont-

gomery invaded Canada during the

Revolutionary War the French Cana-

dians drove them out; and remained

Yet the interestsof the people of the Lower Provincehave flot alwaYs been safe-guarded.A solemn promise had been given lwGen. Murray in behiaif of the B}ritishGovernmrent, to respect their custorn;to grant them the practice of theirown language and religion. l3utthe 'v, as well as the people ot UpperCanada, were driven to desperation1w- the iniquitous conduct of B3ritishofficiais, and the svstem of the familv-compact. A number protested agains tthe encroachment of their libertieswith their blond, under Papineau; asdid the British Canadians under Mac-kenzie at York. This was onlv fol-iowing out the sterni precedents set b)every patriot in ]ritain since the davsot King John; and ill-timed and lam-ented as the occurence xvas, ' et itbrought relief through Lord Dur-ham's famnus report.

T H E elective system of choosingcourses is a question which is

troubling the larger Amerian Univer-sities at present. The newspapershave taken it up and are publishinginterviews with various college presi-dents and prominent 'pro [essors.Many forcible remarks have beenmade on both sides. PresidentWheeler, of Catifornia Univeristy,claimis that the elective system is flotconducive to the best moral tif e. TheDean of Princeton pronounices it falsebecause he says there is no electivesystem in life. The president of Col-orado College thinks th at when givena chance students fottow the pathi ofleast resistance and do no more workthan they can help. On the otherhand President Etiott of Harvard andPresident Angeli of Michigan havestated that in their experience theelective system has been a success.The fears at first entertained that thestudents would select one-sidedcourses and "snaps" were unfounded.

ln the Year 1877 the leading cduca-

tionîsts withi a wise foresighit suc-ceeded in unîtîng the several denorni-

national colletgcs ln one systtlfl bY the

creation of the Univeristv of Mani-

toba xvhich henceforth controlled the

examinations andi conferred ail] de-

grecs. This was an achicverncnt of

no small moment when N consider

the obstacles which had to lie over-corne and the resuits wh ici rnaY be

realized.This brief historical survev has

been necessai v to a truc understand-

ing of present univcrsitNv conditions

in Winnipeg. The UJnivcrsit.\ of

MVanitoba, whichi is the on1Y degret -

conierring hod ' \,vest of the lakes,has been, until recently, to all intents

and purîloses, an imaginary board.

For soin( years, it is truc, a sinall

amount of instruction has heen gîven

in science liv university lecturers andi

the students of the varlous colleges

have mingled in these unîversity clas-

ses. But the bulk of the instruction

has heen given and is still 1 eing given

h\, thc colleges. Laboring as thc.v

arc under the disadvantages of small

cndowmcnt anti limitcd equipmcnt

andi lurdenctl, furthermorc, with pre-

paratorY dcpartmcnts, these have

naturallv heen forced to confine their

attention to classîcs, mathiematics,modemns and philosophy. The work

done, morcover, thoughof'a substan-tial character, would hardlv 1w re-

garded as real univcrsitv xvork in the

truc sense of the word.

One cannot help noticing that as

'vet higher education is hardlv a factorin the development of the VVc1 st. On

the industrial side the tJniversitY has

donc notning. No advanced coursesin science have been offered. Neithermining, agriculture nor manuifactur-

ing have l)enefitted in anv degree b\'the cxistence of the, university. High-er education has clone i ittie or nothingtu influence or1 mould public lite in abroad wav. As cet no courses inhistorY, ilolitical science or cconomicsexist, thuuigh it is in suchi subj cctstliat a ui\ lersîItN is l)est able to corneinto touc h with the practical life ofthe curnmunitv I- training its futurestatesirnen, lawvcrs and j ournalists.This criticism is not merely negativeif it indîcates some of the aims whichitht universiti- must keep in view. Farbe it [rom lis to overlook the difficul-tics vw hich highier education has hadtu coutend w ith in the West.

Tht. Council is the governing bodyof the Universiti-. Of its members therel)resentat ives of the Colleges form aconsiderabie majority. This is butfair as long as the LJniversitvy posscss-es no teaching faculty of its own andthe countryis dependent upon theColleges for its highcr education. Butit carnies xvith it obvious disadvanta-gus. Any policy which is adopted,any change in the course of studies isthe result of a reconciliation of inter-ests more or less opposed to each

other rather than of any common pur-

pose or guiding principle of action.This is the price paid to uniformit.The exigencies of the Colleges havedctermined the policy and to a largeextent the growth of the University.

This discussion would 14e irrelev-ant werc it not that a real universityindependent of the colleges is a liveissue in academic circles in Winnipegto-dav. Among the students this idealias licen fostered by attendance atuniversîti- science classes as men-

tiontd aliove, by the sight of one sol -itarv biuil ding which bears the nameof the university and by the influence

giving instruction in arts suIjects and

ailow thern to build up strong theo-

p)ublic believe that every well-con-

ducted countr\v should have universi-

ties.The UJnix ersit.N possesses an endow-

ment consisting of i50,000 acres of

land, whichi wili, of course, be much

more valuall a few years hence. A

University Act provides tor the estab-

lishiment of certain chairs, as soon as

funds are availabie. Last summer

six permianent professors were ap-

pointed to chairs in mathematics,

science and medicine. 'Phis action

was made possible largelý, 1b'v a gift

Of $26,000 from Lord Stratlicona and

mnarks the beginning of a nem, era for

estabiisbed as soon as possible but

from the present outlook it w iii be

many yeacs hefoce Manitoba wiii

posseýs an even tolerablv equipped

universitv.Three things at least are requisite

tor the growth of a university, how-

ever mucb ready cash is available, a

head who shall be a strong command-

ing personaiity and who shall have

quasi dictatorial powers, a teaching

body, the life-blood of the organism,

who shall along with the president

direct the inner lite oh the institution

and lastly a student constituency of

its own. The University of Manitoba

is almost totalhy iacking in ail these

qlualifications. Lt has no head, no

stuident constituency and as Yet l)ut

the bare beginnings of a teaching

body who have as yet no reprsenta-

tion on the governing body. Before

it can expect anY ceai growth or exert

an.v commandîng influence in the

comrmunit.y, the Uiniversit '\ mustassertits independence of outside interests,

must attain rnanhood. It bas long

been of age. This can onlv corne

wvhen it bias a strong teach îng l)odY ofits own andi a strong public op)inion

demands IL. Meanwhile the West isdependent on sucb sources for its in-tellectual nutriment.

Lt inav be of interest here to notice

the different policy which the Presbv-

terian Chuch is pursuing in Easternand WVestern Canada. But recentlyshc lias lent hier sup~port to the raisingof a large endowrnent fund for Queeu sand has refused to ahlow a severanceof the tie whîch has hîtherto borund

hec to that institution. Lu the WVest

hiec lolicY is in no sense a forward

one in the educational field. Mani-

the ficst occupied a commanding pos-

ition in tbe educational lite of the

West. Hec students have until re-cently always heen more numerousthan those of the other Colleges andshe bias received lovai financiai sup-

port tcom ber constituency. But it

is altogether probable, that as soon

as the university 1 rovides ade îuatelv

for arts work, shie wili devote herself

to purelv theologicai work in whichi

clepartment she will h)e able to buildup a verx strong facultv.

\essvColiege, the Metbodist in-

stitution, is, on the other hand, show-

bng no dlisposition to retire from the

field. She is tollowing in general the

poilcy of Victoria in Toronto.Lt is quite clear the task oh equip-

ping a univecsitv in the West com-parable to (jueen's is beyond the pow-

TrHE MOCK PARLIAMENT.

T HiE Mock Parliament was intro-duced into the Aima Mater So-

ciety, ostensibiy to furnisb some sortot strong, spicy, inteliectuai entertain-ment for the members who attendthese meetings and to give more op-portunity for a greater number to getsome practice in debating and inready off -hand speaking,. It washoped by many that the discussionswouid be strong, keen, and fairiy ra-tional, that the debates would heearnest and that questions wouid betbrasbed out on their merits. Norshouid this have been too much toexpect. In a society of educated menmere burlesque and buff oonery, sbouidnot swamp everytbing sane and ra-tionai. Tbe Mock Parliament couidbe made întensely entertaining: Ltwould furnisb scope for ail the witand versatiiity that we possess; and

at the saine time it could be madesufficîently serious to attract theefforts of the very best debaters in theufliversitv.

This has flot been done. The ideaseems to have been, to do outlandish,and extravagant things. Even a'Mock"' Parliament is supposed to

have some resemblance to a real1 par-liament but there was littie here tocharacterize this farce as a parlia-ment except the naine hy which it wascalied. An attempt was made to re-aclJust matters by introducing a sub-j ect upon which there might haveheen considerabie debate. But theopposition benches were weii fiiied onthat occasion and of course the verylîest tliing for the success of the Par-liament was to defeat the Governmenton a xvant-of -confidence motion. Thisagain introduced the old ''hot air"speeches, sarcastic cross-firing, ridi-culous and extravagant assertionsabout purely imaginarv things. Thiscontinued until every one was notoniy tired but heartiiy disgusted withithe farce. Thus what might havebeen an interesting debate was ai-lowed to sink into an empty burlesque,and those who had denied tbemseivesmucli and had worked bard to changethe character of the proceedings andmake the Mock Parl iament serve somerealiy useful purpose, left the bousefully determjned not to have anvythingmore to do with Lt. Where was thefauit?

We regret that what migbt havebeen a very valuabie feature of ourA.M.S. meetings bas been aliowed to

'fizzle" out in this manner. Per-haps wlhen the opposition take theirplaces in the Government benches abetter tone will prevaji in the ses-sions.

Of course these ''At Homes'' are

Principal Gordon expressed il as bis

THE GVMNASIUM AND GRANT HALL.

T HESE are the burning questionswithi us at present. Thev oughit

to l)e serlously' and soherlY consîdered1w every member of the Aima MaterSocietv. Projects invoiving the ex-penditure of $30,000 shouid flot bedeait with in haste. Time for deiib-eration is most essentiai. Men whowou]d rush with mad haste into s0large an undertakîng would prohabiyforsake the scheme as (Iuickiy if itproved difficuit hex'ond their rathersanguine -expectations. J-istorvabundantly justifies this conclusion.As Shakespeare says,

'Violent fires soon humn out them-selves

''Small showers last long but sud-den storms are short."

Let us make haste siowly. Let ustake time to concentrate the forces.The ideas on these subjects are gain-ing power and intensity, depth as welias surface, on every occasion that thesuhject is discussed. Don't be afraidof discussion: it is the life of themovement. The promoters of thegymnasîum seemed disposed to hurryeverything throughi. That is a decid-ed mistake. Quiet enthusiasmr wilwin supporters, with subscriptions, tojustîfy their activity, muchi more rap-iclly than that impatient anxietv thatwiii not tolerate an opposing opinion.Give every man time to express hisvi ews.

What we have just said refers to alimportant questions. There is a spe-cial phase of this subject with whichwe must now deai. There seems tobe a strong element in favor of havingthe A.M.S., not only build, but ownand control the new gymnasîum.This would be contrary to the generalpoiicy of Queen's. The University

authorities should have in their pos-session the deecis of ail propertv' onthe campus. What is to be gained hvownershif)? The University wiilgiadly accept the building and aliowthe students to use it and to havecomplete control over it too for thatmatter, without asking the A.M.S. toassume the whole financial responsi-bility regarding it.

(S ince the above wvas written theGymnasium Committee have decîdedthat the building shahl be owned andcontrolled uitimately by the Univer-sity authorities).

EDITORIAL NOTES.The tone of the Aima Mater Societv

at the last meeting in discussing theplans, &c., of the new gymnasiumwhich they propose erectîng, wasvery commendabie indeed. At thefirst meeting opposition or even dis-cussion seemed intoierabie to the pro-moters of this scheme, but at the lastmeeting ail parties steadied downand deait with the matter in a busi-ness-iike tashion. The week's reflec-tion demanded produced a very whoie-some etfect on ail and gave :time tosome of our financiers to comprehendhow large a sumr of money $25,oooreally is, and how difficuit it wiii lieto raise it. Most of us have muchmore confidence in the project tu-daythan we had at the beginning of FeL-ruary. We hope, n(iw that the workis deflnitely undertaken, that the stu-dents wiil come ioyally forward andliheraily subscribe to the fund in orderthat building operations may be be-gun at once. No man should leavethe Uiniversity without contrit)utingsome smail sum to either the GrantHall or the Gymnasîum. We don'tcare much for the site selected but itappears to he the oniy availabie one.

Now that the ground area is fairix'well taken up the University authori-ties must seek to utilize whiat remnainsto the greatest possible advantage.As Principal Gordon remarked at theAlumni Dinner a short time ago, wemust flot conclude that Queen's biasreached the last stages of ber devel-opment hecause we have plentv ofroom to-day. The country is justbeginning to develop and so isQueen's and every wise minister inthe affairs of the University will keepbis eyes fixed on the future and seekto lay plans for stili greater expan-sion. Money is lost by planningonly for the presenit and then tearingup the work donc to-day to meet theneeds of to-morrow.

In the plans for tbe gymnasium we.hope tbe possibility of expansion willnot be forgotten. Club-rooms, etc.,etc., will he needed, such as the stu-dents of ail great Universities haveand the grounds about tbe gymnas-iumi should be laid out with a viewto tbese club-rooms heing added onat a future date. These would per-baps be best placed at tbe front oftbe building, rather than at the rearend.

On Saturday night, Feb. i8th tbecA.M.S. recorded its tbanks to theGrant Hall Committee and suggestedthat this Committee continue its workof raising subscriptions. This is thefirst official notice the A.M.S. bastaken of tbe work in connection witbGrant Hall and we hope the sugges-tion will be followed out at once.There are many students going outof college this year wbo would wil-lingly suhscribe to wipe out tbe deficiton this building.

It is said that in 1932 A.D., theUniversity will own the skating andcurling rinks. Wbat do you tbink ofthat ?

Mo.st of te creditof tbe concert ils due to Miss Single-ton, wbo acted as condiictoir.

Mr. J. W. Bengougli Canada's lead-ing cartoonist and entertainer furn-ished a most interesting part of theprogramme. His rapid sketches ofwell known men in public life andof our professors as well, were ex-trernely good and were mtuch ap-preciated. His character sketchesof English, Scotch, Irish and Yan-kee dialects were cleverly rendered.

In every way financially as well asotherwise the concert of this yearwas a very decided success.


N temid-winter days there arose a

th:vement among tbe shades of

Wbat form sbould it take? Pleas-

uires even so robust as sleigbing and

snow-shoeing were discussed in earn-

time, in the moonlight tbey should

revel. Then up from the trozen

waters they should move to revisit

that old baunt-the Levana Room,

where a spread sbould be prepared

strangely like one calculated to

please the most mundane of appetites.

Dishes should they have, real knives,

forks and SPons ! And tbey all voted

Yea, so moot it be.

A GRADUATE IN TEE MAKING,

Spell out in long drawn sounds the

following: culture-point of view-I

fancy-life, and it is all before you,

the whole process.

The open-moutbed, wide-eyed con-

dition of the first year was tbe result

of swimming to the neck in culture.

To you then, a senior ivas a marvel-

lous person who had her Jr. Math.

off, and was now taking some unheard

of subjeet called Honor Phil., about

which very few women knew any-

thing. Sbe could take the cbair in

Levana, and steer a meeting througb

ail the intricacies of Bourinot without

a blunder. In one of your delightful

evening stroils with bier, she would

give you tbe scores of last year's foot-bail games, and delightfully describe

the final match until your blood ran

warm and fast as the players, when

she honored you by asking you for a

skate in the rink, she talked to you

of Michael Angelo and bis wonderful

work, or led you to see sorne meaning

in Browning's ''Cleon." And you

heard, 'Miss M-is a most cultured

girl.'' Culture ! Is tbat it?

Your Professor too, as bie lectured

to you from day to day clelighted your

beart by opening up countless aven-

ues of knowledge, until vou ail but

doubted what the last Journal had

said that ''Protessors were flot ordin-

ary mortals indeed the great majority

of them ate poacbed eggs, for tbeir

breakfast'' (of course, that was writ-

ten before the days wben snow lay

five feet deep all over the country, and

blocked up the roads, so that eggs

were an unheard of luxury on the

tab)le of au Professor who drew bis sal-

ary from a University wbose funds

came from tbe Churcb-or mayhap

from the government, after tbe wants

of the Provincial Univeristy, the only

University, bad been tboroughly sup-

pi ied).It chanced that the wife of this Pro-

f essor invited you to an "'At Home."

You were admitted-nay, welcomed

into his sanctum; there was bis desk,

bis chair, his pen even wbich wrote

down those lectures. The dainty

water-colors on the wall, the hand-

somely wood-carved book shelves,standing on all sides, warmed tbe aes-

thetic soul of you. Miss M- found

you out in your quiet corner, and

asked, "Have you noticed tbe wood-

354

carving? It's the P-rofessor's work;the water colors are bis too."' Youbegin to realize dimly xvhat it meansto lie free rnentally free. Such aperson bias unbounded resources;maferial in bis hands becomes plastic,beause ftic mmnd is master.

His wife is a marvel, you s00hlearn. How does she, who is rarelyin the College know and seek out thehome-sick freshette, and by tbatmotber-smile and rnotber-touch givebier strcngfhi for the remainder ofthfeisession? Those dainty sandwichesare ail of bier making; sbe arrangedfthc flowers. This, f00, is culture.

II-eing 0one of tbe 'rural population,"you slip away off into flic heart ofNature, at the close of the session,and during the long, resfful summerdays, you regale tlic little moflier withstories of these giants in the land ofthe intellect; and unconsciouslv intoyour own life slips some of fbe graceand power of theirs.

But already it is October, and youare 1)ack at College. The work ismore strenuous, you Icave your cor-ner, and corne ouf and join in the falk,and find fliaf in all fbe xvorld no twopeople bave precisely tlic saine "'pointof vicw.'' But eacb rnay nevertlielesslie exprcssing a frutb, for trufli isrnany-sided. A splendid toleranceof new points of view, a desire fortrufli exprcssed in a new forrn, growsUp within you; and fthe "'grand total-ity,'' the unity of tbis parti-coloredworld liegins to bave some rneaningin your life. Wlien you retire f0 tbeshelter of the house at flic close ofthe session, you do not care f0 do althe talking; you basten f0 tbe littlemother, and marvel af the point ofvîew, and hegin to ask, if sbe f00,may not have corne of flic race of

You go back f0 college in yourthird vear less dogmatic, and morehumble; and, as ecd trutb is pres-cnt cd to you, as canny as a Scot, vougo to work at if humble, and affervour mosf faifliful efforts, at thle closeof tbe session, you say -1I fancy 1know whaf tbat frutb means f0 me."

Tben cornes your last ycar. As youare returning, across tic aisle frornvou is sitting a maiden of eigifecn.You mark the new dress, tbe newcoat, the new biat; the signs are un-mistakable, and bier ticket is for King-ston. You leave vour seat, speak tolier, ask her if slîe is going f0 Quecn's,she glances quickly at your collegeplin; bier eyes speak tianks; and asshe struuggles to swallow fie lumpin lier throaf, you take up lier w raps,and draw bier into thc seat beside you.Sie is an interesting litf le maiden in-deed, and you find a score more ofsuchi in flic cloak-room next morning.

The year moves on apace. This isflic lasf wifb your Alma Mater; kindindeed slie lias been, but now cveryday slîe cries aloud to you "'For fourlong years have 1 pafiently fed you,your life on fie mounfain fops rnusfend. Get you down int o flic vallcy-info Life."-

D ROF. Dupuis gave a very fineIpaper at the Y.M.C.A. meeting

on Friday, Feb. 17th. Lt was

based upon the difference between

the Jewisli, and1 modern sientific

knowledge of tbe world, the Jewisb

idea being grapbically set forth in tbe

psalm whicb begins: ''The beavens

declare tbe glory of God, and the fir-

mament sbewetb His bandiwork."

Lt was most interesting to olbserve

the difference between tbe oid Jew-

isb Idea of the world, and the modemn,

as Prot. Dupuis pointed it out. To

the J ew the whole universe as ordered

according to a divine plan drawn by

their special God, Jehovah. The

modern scientiflc knowledge of the

universal is diametrically opposed to

such an idea. Nature is as sedul-

iously careful of ail her otber

creations as she is of man, wbo

somehow imagines that everytbing

exists for him. We believe thatthere are many young men and

women, especially, in the Arts

faculty, who are tempted to

loosen their hold on mucb that bas

been a source of strengtb to them in

the past, when the modern scientiflc

or philosophic liglit is turned on their

cberished views. Lt was, therefore,

a needful lesson wbich Prof. Dupuis

gave, wben lie sbowved that ancient

belief s were good, and sacred and

true for the cbildren o[ humanitv, but

that the flood of ligbt from modern

science bas opened to our eyes much

that is fairer and truer and hence,

more sacred.

Among some untutored minds tbere

often arises tbe disposition to sneer

at the beliefs of tbe men and women

of the world's chîldbood, as tbough

because wrong now, these heliefs

were neyer potent and good. But we

cannot judge in this way. The wizard

doctors among the Congo negroes

who -smell ont" the tbieves who have

taken the unripe mealies pursue a

sacred calling, although our man with

the modern scientiflc mind can sec

there nothing but cbicanery and fraud.

Very often the wrong negro is ap-

prehended; but tbe wholesome terror

inspired in the tribe hy the powers of

the wise men in presumably tracing

the cu1prit in so miraculous a man-

ner has a wbolesome influence in pre-

serving the health of the natives on

the one hand, and of providing

against starvaton on the other. We

may look upon these ancient myths or

modemn illusions with affected super,

iority from a scientific standpoint,

and speculate as to how the ancient

J ews could bave been so childish or

the modemn Congo negro s0 easy a

prey to fraud, and at the same

'3RD COM.'"

Editor of the journal.Sir, it is true that somnetirrnes use-

fui words have entered Our Ianguagethrough the medium of slang much assome great political and religious re-forms have liad to find their wayamong the larger low levels of soc ietybeore they penetrated to the high hi]]strata.

Stili, owing to the fact that the ma-jority of people adopt their usagesoniy when they corne to, themn withthe sanction of high good or greatauthority, such authoritY, in order toeffect a general usage, couid onlyproceed from. say a permanent B3oardcomposed of the heads of, or suitabiedelegates frorn, the universities ofCanada, or of Ontario, whicli Boardcouid adjudicate upon ail the greatnecessary and indispensable improve-ments that could be and should bemade in our language, to make it aperfect and satisfactory and up-to-datevehicle of the expression of thought.

But while there are sorne very higliweighty and more abstruse modes inwhich English should be bettered, itstili remains truc that the introduc-tion of a common 3rd pers. pron. sing.(abbrv. -3rd coin.") may Le, and isof intense and especial moment, asyou may in this sequel sec. Ail thereasons why there should be any per-sonai pronouns at ail, are of full forcein this matter of a ''3rd Coin," therebeing numl)ers of important words ofa common gender.

Here foiiowing are some statedpropositions in which the '3rd coin."is simply indispensable, or in whichthe masc. pron. would be too utterlypointless and futile.

Holding, as the writer of this does,that it is a grave wrong to children

who are correctly trained in moral,social, physicai and religious princi-])les and rules, to put thern amongcrowds wlio have not such cultiva-tion, and that a daily culture, of thiskind, of al] the children, is the oniysafe barrier against irremediable, de-plorable evils that are now coming,and xviii corne, upon Our country, letme here aippend some statements ofprincipie which united or aliiedChurches could secure to be taughtdaiiy (by portions) in the schools, sothat they would formi an ineradicablepart of ail the chiidren's developingiif e.

In these the coin. 3rd pers. pron.se,"'''hir, '' hin'' is used, and it

should be borne in mind that if thispronoun were as well known as arenow the masc. and fem., ones, itxvould answer perfectly its intended])urpose. ln tiiese staternents, for theword ''cbild'' couid l)e substitutedany of the words 'pupil,'' scholar,''-student,'' 'vouth,'' ''person,'' or

any other fit word suitabie.Every child should be able and

wiliing to sec the right way in whichse should act or think, and to do therighit and avoid the wrong.

Everv chiid should fend hir self orife frorn any evil or hadness or harm

that cornes against hin from any per-son or thing or thouglit; and se shouldI)e encouraged to do and get for hineverything useful, delightfui, good,beautiful, that may rightly be doncor got.

Every child sbould avoid eatinethose foods or doing anything what-ever that would harm Lis health orstrength or power of doing right, orpower of keeping from wrong..

Every child should know that if sedoes riglit, se will at some time get

369


some reward; and if se does wrong se

must at some time sufler for it; and

the delightsomneness coming fromn

doing riglit is vastly and immeasur-

ably greater than any seeming pleas-

antness of doing wrong.

Every child should in every day (in

the morning, noon and evening) pray

to God to keep him (and help him to

keep himself) from any harm, or evil,

or badness, and from being led by

any one into any evii or harm, or into

doing any such, or thinking or plan-

ning any such; and every child should

also at the same times pray to God to

help him to be able to do (according

to lis might) whatever se may and

should of what is best and useful and

beautiful and honourable or delight-

some and well-pleasing to God who

is perfect.Every child should be able to deny

hinself, when this is necessary or good

and right and pure and wliolesome.

Ahl prayer sbould be made in the

name of Jesus, the Christ, the Son of

God, the Mediator between God and

man.

Every chuld should at some time in

every day be made dlean and right

and new, in his bodily or physical life

and nature, in bis mental and spini-

tuai nature and life, and in bis moral

nature and life; and whiere se is not

able to do this for hinseîf, se should

pray to God to do so for hin.Because human beings, in the con-

stituents of their nature and hf e are

made from elements, some of which

are emanant from any conceivable

part whatever of the vast universe,and only the Creator of this Cosmos

can perform some absoluteiy requis-

ite operations for and in them.

Every child should know that God

is hir Heaveniy Father, and that He

can see and hear and know every-thing, and that H-e is perfectly holy

and heautiful and good, and that Hehates wickecdness, with a perfect ha-tred, but loves wvhat is right and pure

and pertectly good, and that He isjust and fair and true, and that when

one trulv pravs to Huim He will inright wavs and times and means do

the best for hin; and se should dothe best for hin.

Everv child should know that alother persons have their rights and

privileges and duties.Thoughi God is very mn'ysterlous, He

has ail power, and everv child sbould

fuily i>elieve Him always, even so far

as to get Ù1/0 I-im is spirit (for that isthe correct meaning of the Greek

word Eiý after the verb zearEui ( be-

lieve) in many places,) and should

truths whicb thev know to be correct;

and in every day their good work

SCIENTI.FIC TR~AINING.

The folowing pape,- was read to themembers of the Engineering Societyby the Hon. Pres. Prof. J. G. Gwil-iim, al the lasl meeting-IN the matter of education and train-ing one must recognize the fact,

that as civilized people, we can neyerbe limited to the clearly practicalstudies. Art, poetry and philosophYwere amongst the earliest forms of in-tellectual attainiment. They are anexpression of thouglits which are asold as the human race, and we shallneyer grow out of them. It seemsstrange that these attainments should,for so long, havepreceded enquiry intothe natural . aws of the universe.Knowledge of the natural world andthe forces operating in it lias grownvery slowly, whule poetry and philos-ophy seem to have appeared in ahighly advanced state very early inhistory. Time, and racial tempera-ment have brought about manychanges. Wbatever may be our men-tal capacity in comparison withancient peoples, wé are tolerably sure

that we know more of the truth than

any age in the past.-Truth is truth, capable in the scien-

tific world of demonstration to alsane men of wbatever race. And ascientificfact is true, and liolds goodin any part of the world, just as surelya s a crystal form is followed in therocks without reference to geography.Ail human beings as a part of naturecome within the operation of natural'laws. Ail are paintully alike in thehands of Mother Nature. But in thehuman mmnd and temperament we

must recognize great differences.This accounts for the many differ-

ent attitudes towards abstract tbings

which we meet with and, it is only onscientific grounds that we can ailmeet, and, if we possess reason, dem-onstrate and acknowledge a truth.

A distinguished japanese, BaronHayashi, said recently: 'For centur-ies upon centuries we have had ourartists, painters, scuiptors, and phil-osophers-were we then barbaria'ns?To-day we have added torpedoes,l)attleships and cannon. Ail the

power and ail the skill to destrovhurnan life, and you occidentals say tous, "Youi have won your rank, youhave civilized yourselves.''

For hundreds of years and in manycountrieslanguages, literature, math-ematics, history and philosopby havebeen taught without any special effortto apply them to material benefit orto making a living out of them.These were the Light of Knowldegekept burning through the wars and

Ignorance of the dark ages. Thesewere the off spring of the human mindwithout much aid from observationand analysis in the operations of thenatural world. Since those days thebuman mmnd lias been freed frommany human restraints and with lessprejudice we now look more clearlyupon ourselves and our surroundings.Education of the scholarly kind isl)ecoming to a man for its own sake,and in many countries, and at differ-ent periods, is as necessary for certainstations in life as a proper spirit ifone wishes to have something incommon with one's fellow men. Itis sometimes the reproach of scientifictraining that it leaves a man crude,narro w and mercenary. But as 1 takeit, a scientific training neyer ceaseswhule a man possesses his perceptivefaculties, and however unripe the

374


scholarship of such may be whilewithin the Univezrsity the training issuch that it leads to a world wisdomwhich is neyer attained by any other

class of men; classics, literature and

philosophy are seldom brigbter in

after life than they are inl student

days, but the scientiflo man's know-

ledge and wisdom is cumulative. Leav-

ing that aside for a moment let us

look the situation clearly in the face,as it is with us in Canada, or in any

new country. We have a country to

develop, a country nlot naturally

disposed to support a race of poets,

prophets and philosophers. As it is,

with us-here we are, and here we

must mnake a living, and by education

for its ovin sake we cannot make that

living. There are many lines of op-.

eration before'us; in most of these we

must push because the country is

young and there are few before us to

open the door or Pull for us. Busi-

ness on one's own accounit, and the

various professions offer a better liv-

ing, and a wider outlook, than that'of

a simple wage-earner. Not one of

these higher occupations may be suc-

cessful without training, skill and

seif-denial. They are ail skilled oc-

cupations and the remuneration is ac-

cordinglv. To many these occupa-

tions look crowded, and chances few,

but look for a moment at the great

unskilled, and yen will be forced in

self-defence to train. Fortunately in-

dustry increases and men die, so that

openings appear, and if they do not,

we as trained men mnust make them

for ourselves. In the business world

we have it on good authority that a

very small percentage of men es-

cape failure or bankruptcy at soe

period of . their lives. Hence, we_

must take our chance, but fit our-

selves to win as l)C5t we can, to feed,clothe and shelter ourselves and a few

others and after that, or with it, if we

can, acquire scholarship. Most of us

have to take, up some occupation as abread-winner, and why not a scientificone? There 's no shame in this.We are confronted by a very real

question, the question of decent ex-istence--flot quite on the wolf basisof food, warînth and shelter but oftennot very far above it, when one looksthings squarely in the face. It is nec-essary, and it is becoming, that weshould concentrate our minds uponthe practical side of life, necessary toapprehend our limitations and qualifyourselves for a footbold in the worldbefore we attempt to shine in intellec-

tual and cultured circles. If we re-

fuse to face this situation we become

parasites upon a bard-working com-munity, or we drift into some occupa-

tion which is fostered and sustainedl)y the credulity or ignorance of ourfellow men.

Suppose that one has chosen totrain one's self in some branch ofscience. Let us see what this train-ing amounts to and what sort ofhuman being is turned out as aresult,into the working world. A scientifictraining is neyer finished while lifeand perception last. The mmnd afteronce being trained to analyze and tolook for cause and effect in the naturaland phYsical world whicb surroundsus can rarely lose the faculty--and it

neyer lacks material. The perceptiveand reasoning faculties are continu-

all y in practice not only witb the

physical and natural world but on

every other subject which comes be-

fore them wrapped in mystery.


Mafhernatics gives us the power to

understand the motions and forms of

the inorlanic world, the cosmos and

the crystal, and it gives us the certain

results of known data wifhout taking

refuge in guess-work and rule of'

thumb.Chemistey shows the nature and ma-

terial ofýthe world around us; opera-

tions and reactions which are con-

stantly taking place about us and

within us, and we are ourselves

as surely the resuits of time and

chemical reaction as the plant or

precipitate. Very close to Nature

which is more our Creator than our

servant.Physics which places us in touch

with the forces of nature, so that we

may understand these forces and by

using our mathematics apply them.

So that by an understanding of thema

we can defleci them to serve our pur-

poses. Neyer think we can "over-corne" nature. That is a foolish word,

fit onlv- for the man who disputes on

abstract things without realizing his

own position in a mighty world,

which is nature governed.Greology which tells us an older

story than the dlay tablets of the

Babylonians or the remotest legends

of our literature. A story more in-

structive and more pleasing than the

history of man with his cruel and

fodilish contentions'over matters which

no one knows much about. The earth

is always beneath our feet, and we

cannot travel and be blind to the

earth's history. We may study these

natural sciences aIl our lives, and if

we get a beginning in our scientific

training, 1 venture to say we musistudy them, if a man is a thinker and

moves about at ail, for they are ever

before him, and unobtrusively offerthemselves whenever his mind is freeto consider them. These are the na-tural sciences and they reach theirapplication in the daily life of engin-eers, chemists, and geologists, any

one of whom, can, by a little thought

lift bis mmnd from his own particularwheel and understand some oi the

workings of the universe. Apart frontits general useulness and foundationon fact, scientific tra ining seems to

have this virtue, it enighiens the mind.Where every process is sought to he

understood, and proven there can be

few dark celîs or atrophied centres,

for the light of scientific enquiry is s0clear and searching, that dishonestycannot abide it, nor can fallacies be.come grev and reverend, There is somuch advantage 'taken of ignoranceand credulity in the world, that it isrefreshing to find an occupation where

these are not needed to make a living.

One does flot underrate the value ofgeneral scholarships as an ornament

which becomes a man more and more

as hie reaches eminence, but as pre-

mised at the beginning of this address

the vital question is an honest and in-structive livelihood, and our condi-tions caîl for the application of know-

ledge to convert the wilderness-i nto

a fit place of habitation for our friendsthe poets and philosophers. Intrained men there are two extremes,

one is the extremely scholarly and

theoretical, the other is the extremely

practical. - Both lose a large part of

their natural heritage, the wisdom of

the world, whichi is a greater thingthan the scholarships of any age or

the material advancement of any age.At one extreme is the man of bookswithi a world-little as hie sees of it,


tinged with unreality, where the greatfacts of life and existence are only

ideas or words. At the other extreme

a man of this type described by Ham-ilton Smith when asked his opinion

of various engineers, -Your English

engineer wants to icave wù,.k at four

o'clock in the afternoon to play

cricket; your German to drink beer,-but the A merican engineer neyer tls

up, he -works ail day and in the even-

ing lie is t1îinking of bis work. '' This

is intemperance in work. Sucli a

concentration upon one specialtv will

surely cause a man to lose the faculty

of comparison, perspective and per-

ception; instead of a wonderfui crea-

turc trained to sec the human and nat-

ural worid \Vitb cicar eyes we shial

have a man of. narrow vision to whom

the outer world is a wilderness, and

bis own path the lirait of bis contact

with it, until one day lie tumbles un-

expectedly into bis grave. Then, 1

think, he must awaken for a moment

to the knowledge of ail that lie bas

miss cd.

Mr. Rickard of the ''Engineering

and Mining journal" in bis coin-

ments upon an address of Mr. Sex-

ton's to the students of Dalhousie

gives us a better view of a scientific

man when lie says, ''If the profes-

sion of Mining Engineering lias

reacbed no higher philosophy than

that of Wall Street or Throgmorten

Avenue, it is obtuse indeed: If the

varied experi.ences, their own and

others, the hardships of the trail and

the luxuries of the city; the great sil-

ence of the mounitains and the unrest-

ing noisiness of the streets; the pov-

* rety of the peon and the wealth of

high finance; if ail of these in con-

stant contrast, do flot make a man

somctbing of a philosopher on bisown accounit then lie is indeed as un-impressionable as the wooden Indianof the tobacconist." This should betrue of ai] scientîfic thinkers wbomeet nature and thleir fellow mén atfirst h4nd, and really absorli some ofthie wisdom of fundamental principles.It sbould lie a consolation to us thatwhat wc may'lack in scholarly attain-ments we make up in breadtb of view,and, sccing that our powers are i-ted it is an open question whethertliey arc not well cmployed in gettingat the truths of the universe, by a con-starit contact with its laws, and its in-liahitants, on first principles.

And 1 think, it may lie, thatout ot science wili come more trutli,hope and salvation, than we can ex-pcct from any other scliolarly attain-ments. Not that scbolarship is un-desirable but we must realize our sit-uation, grasp the undersianding andenlig-htenment of the times, and add

wbiat grace we can by scliolarship.

THE UNIVERSITY IN TH-ECOMMONWEALTH.

AS te journal bas undertaken tbeuseful work ot keepi'ng tbe re..

lation between the initer-mural andextra-mural friends of Queen's freshand green, a few jottings regardingthe University's place in tbe common-wealtb may flot be out of place.

'The University is the birth-place

of ideas," a distinguished college

leader used to sav. In saying this be

did flot intend to be understood assaying the university is the only place

wbere ideas come into tbe world. He

knew far too well what the miner and

tbe engineer and the huilder and tbe

weaver and the agriculturist bad doneto launcb any such foolisb sentimentas tbat. Wbat be did mean was tbat

tbe university, wben it proves equalto its privileges, is friendly to any

idea tbat points to man's welfare. Itgives sucb an idea a borne and an at-

mospbere and cherises it till it can

successfully iake its way in tbe

world.Tbere are tbose wbo declare that a

university bas no place in a commun-

ity of bread-winners or tbat if it bas

any place at all in sucb a cotnmunityit is a very secondary place. Persons

wbo argue in tbis way declare in favor

of wbat tbey cail practical educationis opposed to univers ity education, aneducation tbat in their judgment is asort of caper-in-tbe-mist. Now it bas

been sbown times witbout number

that tbe university is tbe friend of thefull dinner pail as well as the patron

of the gown. Germany's industrialdevelopmnent stands in close relation

to the Germian university laborator-ies. Tbhere is a sort of short course,

hand-to-moutb application of science

to agriculture and to manufacturingthat justifies the cry for the industrialschool, but such still-born scientistshave their day, and then they are dis-placed by others who picked up anever-made-to-order metbod as theygalloped past. But it bas been foundthat the man of permanent resourceis the man wbo bas acquired the rudi-ments of bis skill and bis habits oftbought under tbe careful training ofone wbo bas mastered the underlvingprinciples of the whole subject. Themind refuses to do its best work forany band-to-moutb master. It mustdeal with the subject disinterestedly

and report its finding from tbe factsimpartia]ly. Men who have wrougbtin tbis spirit bave given tbe world itsgreatest belp, in commerce, in build-ing, in agriculture as well as in re-flection.

Tbe danger that lurks in waitingfor the student is that b e be a mereretailer of other men's ideas. Hemay learn to swear allegiance to aprofessor but be utterly ignorant ofthe principles wbicb bis professorvalues so bigbly. He may be as irn-personal as a grain spout and as deadas a phonograpb. Wben an automatonof this character goes out clad in biscollege sbeep-skin tbe men andwomen of keen, practical good sensesoon take bis measure and relegatebim to the ]umber-room and to tberag-man--or to other places congenialto cast-off ideas. Wben universitiesallow mummy-like creatures to carryoff the college honours in tbeology,arts, and medicine it is littie wonderthat men of keen, practical sense passby the university witb ber graduatesand professors witb illconcealed con-tempt. Tbere are university men in


Canada by tbe score. wbo are a posi-

tive menace to tbe sick, xvbo do not

make for righteousfless between man

and man, and wbose lips rarely open

to give tbeir fellows a good word. In

so far as the univers ity permits or en-

courages this way of doing tbings she

is a menace to the demnocracy. \VbiIe

it is bier dutv to teacb ans' wbo ask of

bier, it is, ev"en more bier duty to refuse

to allow others to endanger the pub-

lic weai by bier authority. Only those

who bold ideas freeiy and who allow

their minds to play around problems

witb no end in view but the truth,

should be allowed academic standing.

The university tbat does not or will

not strive for this sbould surrender

bier charter.

The university man on graduating

finds probleins waiting him that will

tax him most to heart-breaking, but

if his mmnd be but honest and bis

training wortb wbile, bie xvilii eyer

despair. 1lie may find a vast differ-

ence between the city tbat Plato or

Augustine or St. John saw and the

comniunity in wbich bie lives, but, if

hie is the man bie should be hie will

corne to see that bis fellow citizens

are his fellow servants too. So far

from coddiing imseif in Olympian

aloofness from bis brethren who have

flot bad bis privileges, bie will giadly

do bis part to give the ideas lie iearn ed

to venerate in coliege a habitation

and a body in the democracy of which

bie himself is a living member.-J. A.

NO VEM BER.

Ail dead are the beautiful flowers,Their stalks lie stiff and brown,

And the dismal November showers

Fail cold on the fallow ground.

At this tinie when Nature seems dying,And ail ber beauty has fied,

Should we think of our brothers iow lying

Iu the dreary abodes of the dead :

Should we pray for the souls of theni burning

In penitential fire,

And help them quiet their yearning,And reach their hearts' desire ;

And know that the time now fleeting

Brings us nearer to our Judge,

And prepare ourselves for the meeting,

As onward through life we trudge.

But just as Nature, now dying,At the coming of Spring will revive,

So'those in their graves now lyiing,In the Resurrection wilI Iive.-Ex.

STUDENTS VS. UNIVERSITY.

T HEstudntsof Queen's have long

ben noted for their aggress-iveness and enthusiasm in regard tothe needs of the University. Thesequalities they have exercised on var-ious occasions when assistance fromsome source was required. For sometime back the graduating -Year's"have endeavored to leave Lehind themsome useful memorial of their lovefor their Aima Mater. There are twooutstanding monuments of this sortof beneficence aiready recorded in theU.D.B., namely, the 'oi Fellowshipand the Grant Hall. The success ofthese undertakings Las inspired thestudent body te, widen their influenceby Lecoming a property-owning cor-poration within the University. TheAthletic Committee of the Aima MaterSociety purchased the athletic field

and fitted it 'up into a first class fieldfor sports and football. Not satisfiedwith this the A.M.S. Lad fully decid-ed to proceed at once to raise fundsfor a gymnasium which it expected tohold under conditions similar to thoseunder which the Athletic field is held.

Ail this enthusiasrn and devotionto the University is very commend-ab)le, but there is always the dangerthat the students will begin te, thinkthey are a much more important fac-tor in UJniversity poiitics than theyrealy are. They very soon Legin tothink tliat their slightest wish mustLe heeded and tbat nothing should Leallowed to stand in the way of anyproject they propos.ed to undertake.The late gymnasiuni scheme is a casein point, and the condition of that en-terprise at the present time illustratesmost effectively the fact that therecannot Le two separate bodies in theUniversity having power to exploitdifferent projects that require an ap-peal to the generosity of our friends.The University is larger than the A.M. S. and it should have the finalvoice in ail matters where gifts fromLenefactors are required. The A.M.S. ought not to move in such ques-tions without authority or permissionfrom the governing board; indeed wethink the society should have nopower to do s0 even if it had the wilI.

In the iast number of the journalit was stated that ail arrangementswere made to, Legin raising the fundsfor a new gymnasium. Everythingwas settled and voted through the A.M. S. Ail the committee Lad to dowas to secure the consent of theFinance Committee of the University.When the scheme was presented tothese well-trained financiers, they ap-

proved of the plans an4. complimen-

ted the promnoterS but could flot see

why they should increase the great

burden of the University, or injure the

prospects of* securiflg the endowment,

now being sought for, by launching

another enterprise side by side with

it. Accordingly they requested the

A.M.S. to withdraw their seheme on

behaif o( the larger interests and

greater needs of the whole University.

To this request the A.M.S. readily

acceded. They ail saw quite plainly

that their bot entkusiasm had been

misdirected, and that the 'require-

ments of the University as a whole

were the first to be consideied.

This littie incident bas sbowni

us as students the utter folly of

imagining that we bave any dlaim,

on the University. constituency, to

collect money for any purpose,

without the consent of the Univer-

sity authorities. This is really a

new idea to many of us but, it is a

perfectly sound principle for the

University to follow. The recogni-

tion of this riglit has bad a very

sobering influence on the members of

the A. M. S. and instead of causing any

division between the Council and the

students,, it lias really brouglit them

dloser together in sympathy and in-

terests than tbey have ever been be-

fore. The student body lias realized

that it is not a separate unit within a

great circumscribing institution, but

that it is a vital part of the one great

unit, baving interests, not separate

from, but absolutely bound up with

the welfare of the whole.

This is the season when editors

bave littie heart to write and littie to

write about. The pressure of work,

too long clelayed, does not fail tomake very insistent demands for a

littie attention in the eleventh hour,

and unless we are absolutely reck-

less, we display strong disposition to

bearken unto these promptings of

fear and tbus to bend our energies on

books, synopses, notes, etc., rather

than to dissipate our time thinkingof profound topics for publication 'inthe College journal. However, we

have the consolation of knowing that

it matters very littie what we write

at this season, no one will venture to

read it anyway.We have been tempted to deal with

the political situation in Russia andto express some opinions regardingthe causes behind the eruption that

bas recently broken out there; bu 'tthis seemed to us a worse than useless

task under the special circumstances.

The far East presents a very inviting

topic for reflections, but it lias been

worn almost threadbare by the popu-

lar press the world over until it

seems that everything new that iswritten we have read or heard a dozen

times before; and besides the college

man, more than ahl others, has given

up reading the tedious details of war

to make preparations for his own con-

flict with the ''invisible powers of

darkness," known as examiners.

J3esides these European and Asia-tic problems which seemed invitingthere is our own North West school

question. This bas special interestfor University mnen and educationists

in Canada. That sacred and inviol-

able old Confederation Act-which

lias been to Canada like Chinese

wooden shoes upon the feet of Johnny

Canuck -lias proven intolerable in

almost every provision that referred

to future conditions, but bas beentenaciously adhered to as a mostsacred piece of legisiation by theadvocates of the most vicious thing-the Separate Schoàl. The peo-

pie of the United Stat'es have nosuch system and the Roman Catholicminority themselves there would flottolerate its introduction. Whysbould Canada be saddled withsuch a pernicious systemi foreverjust l)ecause one province, or ratherone religious body flnds that it servesan important ecclesiastical r)urpose?Let the North West work, out its owneducational system; it is time enoughto grant Separate Schools wben ailother plans have failed. It is tîmeenough to fail back on the Acts of thelast century or of two centuries ago,when the minority are suffering fromthe oppression of the ruling class.

But we must not discuss any ofthese 'topics, inviting as they are,and seasonble as they are. The onething that students don't want to donow is to discuss anything or readanything that does not smell of exam-inations.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Exams are coming-settle downand 'plug" or you'll1get 'ploughed."

Seven more weeks? No, Three!!Where has the session gone to?

The last session of the Mock Par-liament was very quiet and orderly.The only motion hefore the Housewas one to adjourn the sitting. Thisthe opposition proposed and carried,to the utter chagrin of the Govcrn-ment members who had so many im-portant measures to bring in that

could not afford to wait. One wou]dimagine that such an action was equalto a want of confidence motion. Will1the Government now resign?

L(,t us suggest that sometbing bemade of Student's Day this year dur-ing the Convocation week. Thisshould be one of the great days. Thiswas urged in the Arts column ]in thelast issue of the Journal. Think itover; the suggestion is a good one.Get some music and make it worthwhile for people to come. Indeed,we think, the Facuity might be in-duced to turn out to hear them-selves eulogized or---, as the casemay be. Is it not worth our whileto make this day almost as import-ant as Convocation Day?

The Endownient scheme is pro-gressing slowly. We hope to havemore definite information regardingit for on1e of the suhsequent numhers.What news bas reached us has heenvery encouraging. No one ever ex-pected that a few months work wouldcomplete s0 great an undertaking andthose most interested are flot disap-pointed that more bas not heen ac-c omplishied. Send in your subscrip-tions. Don't wait to he asked. Suh-scriptions from students on the in-stallment plan will he as acceptableas any others. The Committee basnot said this hut we have littie doubtabout the truth of it.

-Don't be late with the materialfor the next journal" is the mandateof the managing Editor. It shouldhe ail in his hands flot later thanApril the lst. Let every personconcerned he prompt this time.

sity at largely increased salaries, among

these I mnay mention, Mr. Harkness

of McGill for fine years assistant pro-

fessor in mathematics, Dr. Shorey of

Chicago, Woodward Wilson President

of Princeton, Dr. Giddings and Dr.

Morgan of Columbia, and Dr. Weir

Smyth of Harvard. Among the pre-

sent members of the faculty are many

well-known in educational circles-Dr.

Collitz, Dr. Charlotte Scott, Dr. And-

rew, Dr. Kobler and Dr. Florence

Bascom-all of whom have been for

many years on the college staff.

The degree of Doctor of Philosoph y

is conferred upon the graduate of any

college, who bas pursued, for at least

three years, graduate work in some

approved college or university, at least

two years of whicli must be spent at

Bryn Mawr. Ip addition, the candi-

date must present a thesis, giving

evidence of original research connected

with lier chief subject of study, and

also take oral and written examinations

on the work she is offering. There are

said to be fifty-two woinen in America

wlio have taken the degree of Doctor

of Phulosopliy and Bryn Mawr alone

lias granted twenty-six.Graduate work consists of lectures

and private study. Lecture courses

of two 'and more hours per week are

given witli Journal, Club and seminary

in each department together with pri-

vate reading, about whlch consultation

is given at the discretion of the depart-

ment, the latter is of special advantage

in work on a thesis and also may lessen

the prescribed time of graduate work,

as ail work for degrees is counted in

liours. The lectures are given in the

afternoon (sometimes as late as from

four to six) so as to leave time for

consecutive nioruing work and also to

allow teacliers in the neighborhood anopportunity to attend these lectures.

at present, the graduates number sixty-

one and of these twelve are teaching

in College Preparatory Schools of

which there are a large number in the

vicinity. Many find it a great ad-

vantage to teach and pursue some

graduate work at the saine time.

Special inducements are offered to

graduates in the way of scholarships

and fellowships valued respectively

at $200 and $,525. Here the Fellows

are flot required to lecture but are ex-

pected to devote the whole of their

time to graduate work. Special

ternis, too, are made for graduate

students and certain rooms are re-

served for them in the halls of resi-

dence. The college offers these in-

ducements from a ,desire to train

women to do research work and to

teach the higher branches of educa-

tion and also, because a graduate

sehool always improves the general

tone of undergraduate work.One year's graduate work here is a

great advantage in securing a posi-

tion aiterwards as the entrance stand-

ard at Bryn Mawr is so high that

sebools ail over the country are anx-

jous to have teachers who understand

the requirements and also the fact

that tbey havedone graduate work at

Bryn Mawr is a guarantet of scholar-

ship. The College, too, is always

glad to recommend its graduate stu-

dents.1 have not dwelt on the graduate

life at Bryn Mawr but 1 arn sure

every one finds it a very pleasant ex-

perience. Living in residence, in

daily contact with graduates from

other Colleges in this country and

kther countries is certainly, in itself,


an education.- Wo enjoy ail the ad-vantages of the undergraduates; forinstance, we may engage in anysports as tennis, grass hockey, basketbail, lacrosse, base-ball, swimming,water-polo and in gymnasium work.We have our own Graduate Club and,at our teas every afternoon in theclub-room wc have an opportunitv ofbecoming. acquainted with ail thegraduates. Also, Bryn Mawr is onlya twenty minute ride, by train, fromPhiladelphia, so that it lias ail theadditional advantages of a large city

close to hand.In conclusion, 1 may say 1 hope to

sec more of our Canadian Collegewomen planning to do graduate work

and in doing so, 1 trust they wilitake Bryn Mawr into considerationon account of its splenid advantagesand relative proximity to Canada. Ayear spent here is well worth whileboth from an intellectual and comn-mercial. standpoint.

AGREAT, deal lias been writtenof late years about the failure

of democracy and the utter inabilityof the masses to rise to that degree ofself-conscious development which en-thusiasts had claimed'for them. Butto one who looks below the surface

it.can readily lie discovered that de-modracy is flot a failure in fact, atany rate, however mucli it bas disap-

pointed the philosopher witb bis

theories.~One of the distinguishing features

of.democracy these days is the desireto open up, not only the -secrets and'Offices of government to the people,but also the furled scroll of know-

ledge. In no respect is this moreclearly indicated than in the moderndesire of people to travel, 'to see theworld'' as it is put. So at ieastLieut. Peary states bis case in a me-cent letter in ''The Saturday EveningPost. ' It is truc lie ascribes so mescicntific objects to bis reasons forattempting to reacli the North Pole;but bis great happiness would lie towalk where no man's foot had beenbefore; and then, the final occasionfor rejoicing, to plant -Old Glory''in the covetcd place which so manydaring men have toiied and laid downtheir lives to reacli.

This spirit, boastful and vain as itmay seem, is after ail] the hope of therace. It is this spirit of democmacywhich would seek to unfuri thescmoll, that leads the people upward.Wliere arc the torbidden cities of theworld now? Sarnarcand as Harper'sWeekly, says, lias become a house-hold word. Khiva can lie vis ited byany travelier who can get his pass-port viséed by the Governor Gen-eral of Turkestan. Mero, the bis-toric entrepôt of an oasis once ' iac-cessib)le, is now a Russian railwaystation. Lhasa lias been unveiled bythe Younghusband expedition. Any-body can go by rail from japan toJerusalem, and the day is not far dis-tant when the iron liorse will runsnorting past the tomb of Mahometat Medina, and land passengers with-in eyeshot of the Black Shrine ofMecca. The Sultan, Abidul Hammid,acting as commander of the Faithfulby virtue of the title transmitted tohim bv the last Alibassida Calipi,,lias authorized and lielped to finan , ethe construction of a railway from-Damascus to the lioly cities of Islam

.... .. Already, in imiginatiofl

we can hear the station agent's cry,

-Ail on board for Medina, Mecca,4and points southl"

There is no doubt that-this is but

an expression of the demnocratic

spirit. In ail ages the dominant

races have not lacked daring leaders;

and in so far as the common people

were permitted to join them in their

expeditions, they entered into SO

mucli the more of demnocracy. The

spirit of democracy is to take an in-

terest in the whole world, and view

humanity in its completeness, and

flot in isolated segments. The mod-

ern railway and steamship have made

the whole world kmn. But »a11 these

things have become possible because

it has been recognized that each in-

div idual in the nation owes it to himn-

self and democracy to assist himself-

in so doing hie lifts the race.

We are, or have been, too prone to

criticise the people of the United

States for their swagger, theil self-

possession, their intrusiveness. And

now Canadians have been smitten'by

the saine bacillus. We see signs of

it on every hand. We are ready to

yield to none in the estimation of our

country's resources, its present de-

velopment, and its unlimited progress

in the future. It is a good sign.

Races who lose confidence in them-

selves are already lost.The point of danger occurs when

the self-assertion is a mere obtruding

of a base self on others; or in inter-

relation of base selves. Provided

only when we do as we please, the

thing is pleasarit and, in essence,noble, will this democratic spirit do

good to our country an4d humanity as

well. But humanity must persist

through the race which is strongestin purpose to develop itself along

high lines. The work of Queen's is

righteous and must prevail, because

bujît on this a11-conquering demo-

cratic ideal.

IT should be welcorne news for alof us to learn that the proposai

to extend the post-graduate work in

Theology, probably under the form

of the Ph. D. course, has corne up

and bids fair to be satisfactorily

settled. It augurs well (if we may

lay dlaim to some measure of pro-

phetic foresight) for the undercur-rent of vitality in Theological circles

at Queen's, for the continued high

rank of our Utiversity, and for the

future of the church at large. It is

simply a rnarked expression of the

growing recognition of the great

value of more advanced work in

Theological subjects to the church

at large. We are rnoving very ra-

pidly in this age in every department

of learning, and not least in our own

sphere of study. Probably no great-

er danger threatens the church than

that of falling down to a second or,third rank in intellectual attain-

ments. The day of despising the

value of the broadest possible educa-

tion and culture in the church has, we

hope, departed forever. This 1-ays

a high standard and heavy responsi-

bility upon the minister. But neyer

were strong, well-equipped men in-

tellectually needed more than now.

In our new country our immediate

concern must be to man our churches

and meet our rapidly growing

needs. But in wise foresight the

QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY' JOURNAL.38

church must see that provision is

made for training her leaders of to-

mnorrow. It is fitting that our Pres-byterian Church, and Queen's, as

her own college in a very specialsense, should be in the fore-front of

this forward mnovement. Thus it

seems particularly wise that we

should now be considering the ex-

tension. of post-graduate work inTheoiogy.

The imimediate question is of

course that of ways and means.

That the work should be along defi-

nite uines of study and should be

recognized by a degree is taken for

granted. The question has already

been discussed in the editorial colu-

mns of the JOURNAL and the sug-gestion made that instead of a D. D.

or a new degree the present degree

of Ph.D. could be easily made to

meet the requirements. This seems

to have met the approval of the

authorities and the chances sedrn to

be that the work will be outlined

under this course.The objection may be raised that

such Theologicai work is a special-

ization on lines not strictly, belong-

ing to an Arts course. Thus the

University must first of ail be satis-

fied that in grantiflg a degree, gener-

ally considered as an Arts degree,the standard of general culture and

education shouid be maintained. It

has been proposed that the course

should follow the B.D., just as it

now does the M.A. course. The

question therefore is whether the

student with a B.D. ranks as high in

point of generai culture as one with

an M.A. We emphatically maintain

that the advantage is rather on the

side of the B.D. student. His de-

gree means an Arts course with theArts degree, three years of work inthe general Theological course andspecialization in two branches of liswork; a course of at least seven yearsand more usually of eiglit or more.Moreover the M. A. courses are speci-fically specialist courses and are notoutlined from the point of view of abroad, general culture. So the Uni-versity, we maintaîn, need have nofear of lowering the standard ofthe Ph. D. course by admittingstudents wi th a B.D. on a par withthose with an M. A.

,But what of the courses of study?This is after ail the vital problem.It seems desirable in the first placethat it should be at least optional fora candidate to take his whole coursein theological subjects. To attemptsome sort of a compromise betweenthe Arts work and that of Theologyand yoke together two dissimilarlines of study would be undesireable.It is a specialists' course in any case,and there is plenty of scope in ourown field of study. Both the Oldand the New Testament with theirlanguage, literature and theologyoff er an adequate scope for one de-partmnent. Systematic Theologymodelled along the lines of a coursein Philosophy should furnish abiind-ant scope for a third departmen *t.Then Church History or a course inthe Philosophy of Religion togetherwith the study of comparative Rel-igions would make a fourth depart.inent. This is practically what wehave in the B.D. course and it would,it seems be very appropriate thatthe Ph. D. course be regarded as acontinuation of the work alreadycovered for B.D.

387


This, we rnay presume, representsthe general opinion of those studentsat present immediatcly concernied.That the course would exrer be takenby any great number of students isimprobable. For the great majorityof theological students a sevenyears' course is serîous enough andfurther, post-graduate work is outof the question. In the active workof the rninistry there is not inuchtime available for so heavy a courseof study and probably very few couldprepare it outside. But now andthen a student wishes to specializealong certain lines and is able tospend a few extra years at college.It is for such students that thecourse is prirnarily intended. Ittherefore seerns that the courseshould be so framed as to enable suchstudents to take the course on twoof the departmen 'ts of his theologicalwork, that is the work witb whichhe is immediately concerned and inwhich he muet work, and cvery op-portunity should, we think, be givento encourage men to fit themselvesas thoroughly as possible in thisdirection.

The following ex cahedea commun-ication fron i s holiness, the Pope.has been put into our hands and wepublish his pathetic message to hisfiock. The sack-clotb and ashes ofAsh Wedncsday had a double sign-fication this year; for was it not onthat day that the hosts of Israel fell

before the onslaught of thé Amale-kites and jebusites. But hear the

sad story from bis Reverence:To the 1,ditor of Divinity:

Forasmuch as thou art the one ofrny floçk whose duty it is to keep

the archives and record great events,it behooves me to make known tothee a great disaster that hath oflate fallen upon the arms of Israel.The Philistines of Science havingrcfused to meet us in battie on thefootball field did challenge us tobattie on the ice, we straightwayaccepted their challenge, thougb wehave no longer the strengtb of youth;and once again our battle-scarredveterans prepared to smite the Arn-alekites. For two whole rnontbs didthe heathen warriors delay the battieuntil our hoary-headed veterans felisick by the way-side, then, on a fastday they carne upon us and smoteus sore and brought our grey hairs insorrow to the grave.

At baif-time the score was 2-0,but after mid-dav K.C. made an on-slaught so that at the end the scorewas 4 to nearly 1. In no great battle.which Divinity Hall bas waged haveso xmany aged warriors taken part andfought valiantly to the death. Butnotwithstanding the stiffness of ourjoints and the length of years of ourservice we still bold out to ScienceHall the offer which we beforemade,-to meet them in associationfootball cither this spring or nextfail.

Youirs paternally,The Pope.

The majority of the members of theHall and several in Arts are anxiouslywaiting this week for the'report of theHome Mission Committee regardingthe sumfmer appointment of studentsto mission fields. Many of our num-ber expect to go to the Western Prov-inces, which seem to be specially ýin-rviting to Queen' s menat preýsent.*:

PROF. KNIGHT'S ADDR]nSS.

O N Monday, February 2ot, Prof.Knight delivered a most in-

teresting lecture to the Medical stu-dents upon the subject of Harvey andthe Circulation of the Blood. in in-

troducing his subject tlie speakerreferred to the rapid advances in Arts,Science 'and Literature, which. hadbeen initiated in tlie fifteenth and six-

teenth century, and which alone madeit possible for Harvey to accomplish

his great work. Before Harvey's

time bis two predecessors, Silvius and

Andreas Vesalius, had done mnucli to

pave the way for subsequent discover-

ies. Up to their time nothing liad

been done in the field of Medicine for

more tlian a thousand years. The

church had been too busily occupiedin accomplishing lier great work of

civilizing and cliristianizing the na-

tions of Europe. Wlien AndreasVesaius began bis teaching in Padua,Galin's work, written in the second

century, was the ohly autliority, and

as it was considered the "linspiredbook " lie found.great difficulty in in-

troducing lis discoveries, but in the

end was so successfnl that lis work

the 'Fabrica Humani Orplians ' gain-

ed him renown, not only in lis own

country, but also abroad. However

while lie attacked tlie anatomy, as

taught hy Galen, lie was unable to

,criticise Galen's Pliysiology, so it was

left for Harvey to deal with this

brandli of medicine.After his graduation in Arts from

Cambridge, Harvey weflt to Padua

where lie studied medicine under tlie

celebrated Fabricius. Upon lis re-

turn to england lie was appointed

lecturer in Anatomy and Surgery inthe college of Pliysicians and Sur-geons, London, and physician to HisMajesty Cliarles IL. It was tIen thatlie began his work of experimentwhich occupied more than ten years,but in tlie end lie proved s0 conclusi-vely that tlie blood is circulated.througli the lungs, returned again totlie heart to be distributed throughoutthe body that the older views liad tobe coînpletely altered.

Harvey's great perseverance in spiteof many difficulties stands out as anexample to every young physiciantliat too great care and considerationin diagnosis cannot be taken, for suc-cess in Medicine, above ail other pro-fessions, sound judgmeiit ini everyemergency is absolutely necessary.

From a student's standpqint Prof.Knight's address was a treat long tobe reuîembered, and one more instanceof the keen interest of the Faculty ineverything that tends to the advance-ment of tlie students.

In tlie examination in Mental disea-ses, lield some weeks ago, Messrs. T.D. Macgillivray, B.A., and EZ. H.Sproule headed tlie list, winning Dr.Clarke's prize. Congratulations.

We are pleased to annouince that HisExcellency, the Earl of Grey, gover-nor-general of Canada, lias accepted aninvitation to be present at tlie MedicalConvocation on April 7tli. Thiis yearconvocation ceremonies will be lield inGrant Hall.

Good liealtli and good luck to everyone writing on thie exams. next week.

M R. E. A. COLINS was the re-presentatîve of the Engineering

Society to the annnal diinner of theSchool of Practical Science, which washeld in the King IEdward on the even-ing of Tuesday, Mardi 7 tb.

This important function was asusual a magnificent success and wasattended by nany protninent men inthe engineering profession. " John "was greatly pleased with the receptiongiven hlm by the Toronto boys. Hesays they know how to, enitertaiinguests froni sister institutions and wehave reason to consider hlmi a compe-tent judge of such matters.

Mr. Fred, Orr has been for sornetime been a rather unwilling guest atthe General Hospital, has alrnost coin-pletely recovered and we hope to sechim at lectures again in a few days.

SCIENCE-DIVINITY HOCKEV MATCH.

It came to pass that in the sixthmionth of the second year of the reignof Daniel the King that the hosts ot

Israel camne forth out of their teîfls todo battle wlth their enemy, the men ofthe final year iu Science.

Then did Loglus, their chief, whostands higher than ail the subjects hya head, eall unto his men and say, 1 Vemen of Israel behold before you acraven and d egenerate people whomthe Lord this day will deliver intoyour hands. These are tuev whofeared us drawn up for battie and evennow aw ait us. Fear flot and slay fromithe rising to the going dowxi of thesuni, for the victory shall be unto thebosts of Israel.''

Thereupon with a mighty shoutthey threw themnselves into the fray

and the clash of armrs and sticks onshins was s0 great that the heavenswere retit asunder. Vainly did theIsraelites try to nphold their formerglory and the traditions of the days oftheir fathers. Vainly did their chiefexhort and abuse them with words towhich. oîily the wise mnen ot DivinityHall are accustoied. Vainly did theclarion eall again to the charge. Itwas of nio avail. As was written of anuighty king ini by-gone davs, evennow again was it written on the battiefie d on that ileniorable occasion,Meîie, Mene, tikel upharson. Trulywere the hosts of Isrsel scattered likemists before the rising sun or leavesin autunin before a gusty breeze, andthe verdict was the saine as ,in theolden time, "weighed in the balanceand found wanting."

How are the mighty fallen! Wherenow are they the proud and vauntingwho talked of craven crews and dreadof armed hosts. Even their chiefLogius was c-onfused aiid utterlybrought to naught so that he exc]aimedwlth aîîguish, woe! " woe is me, I amnuindone, fromi perils by land and sea;[rom sickness and death; from Sciencenien ini smock and overails. Oh!1deliver us.''

And so is it flot written in thechronicles of the reign of Daniel howthe prize was wrested from the handsof the Israelites and given over totheir enernies, the men of Science.How these braves, stars of the firstmagnitude which shine in ail theirmagnificence like a rhombohedrou ofcalcite with doubly refracting rays,scored over the enexpies as many goalsas there are days in the week savet w0.

How H. H. and D. D. strove to out-


do each other in the eyes of thespectators by doing almost impossiblefeats and deeds of valor. How C. W.and A. b,. time and again brokethrough the opposiflg ranks only to

lose the ruibber to the divines beforethey could find a hole between theposts, and how B.O. scored ail the

goals and G.C. suffered injuries at thehanlds of the inhuman foe. Also how

"Bob!,' slept through the gaine at bis

post before the net ai-d dreamied of

happy by-gone suxner days in Peter-

box o. Ail these are written and writ-

ten deep so that no more rxeed be add-

ed.

More than ordiuary interest attaches

to the trolley road formally opened

February 21St, between Indianapolis

and Rushvi lle It is the first of its,

kind in the world axid expects to have

cars running froin Indianapolis to Cini-

cinnati within a year. To the average

observer it looks like any other double

track, interurban trolley line but it is

the first to, use single phase alterrnatingcurrent motors. Iu other words the

motors receive their energy from the

high pressure, long distance trans-

mission lines without the intervention

of rotary transforruers to change the

character of the current.Pittsburg is especially interested be-

cause this new svstem," which bas

many important advantages, is a Pitts-

burg achievement. In the \Vesting-hoieworks Tesla elaborated bis

theory of the aiternatiflg current and

long distance transmission. T h e

Westinghouse peoffle reduced that

theory to, a practical working basis.

After transmission the Tesla current

had to, be transformed at great expense

and with this Mr. Westinghouse was

flot satisfied. Years of experiment andstudy have produced the single phasealteruating current motor and system,Pittsburg' s latest scientific- mechanicaltriuimph. Its future is full of revolu-tionary possibilities.

,Several of our Professors as well asa few of the boys went from here toattend the anîiual meeting of the Can-adian Mining Institute held in theWindsor Hotel, Montreal. last week.Between Wednesday morning and Fni-day evening ma'nv very able and inter-esting papers were read and discussedby the tuembers present. The mnostrecent. and scientific developmueuts iiimany subjects relating to, Miniugwerepresented by ie mbers from differentparts of B.C., N.W.T., Ontario, Que-bec, aud tue Maritime Provinces as wellas fromn Pa., Utah., Ill., N.Y, Chili,Mexico and Main, T. H., affording asplendid opportunity to those presentto beconie better acquainted with themining, metallurgical and geologicaliuethods followed in these districts.

Thursday morning was devoted tothe reading of papers by students fromQueen's, Varsity and McGill. Thosefrom Queeh's being D. D. Cairns, G.C. Bateman and D. Sloan.

Prof. Gwillim gave a very interest-ing paper on "The Life History ofCoal Leans. ''

Cyril Knight, who is attending Col-umibia University was present and re-ceived the President's Gold Medal,awarded for the best student's paperread last year.

The Queen's and Varsity studentswere busy iii bet , een times seeing thepoints of interest about town, the to-boggan slide appearing to be the chiefattraction.


Ou Friday evening a very enjoyable

concert was furnished iii the club rootn

of the hotel which marIde a very ap-

O N February 18th the annualmeeting o f the C. 1. H. U. was

held in Toronto with a large repres-

entation from the various clubs. No

changes were made in the playing

rules of the league but it wvas decidecl

to prohibit absolutely any intercolle-

giate hockeyists from plaving in an-

other league during the season. The

following were appointed officers of

the Union for i906:-

Honorary President-G.Y. Chown,

B. A.President-M. B. Baker, Queen's.

Vice-Pres.-F. McKenna, McGill.

Sec-Treas. -J. C. Sherry, Toronto,'

Gi; G. Richardson, Queen's. C. D.

jamieson, Toronto, 'Varsity; Cadet

Howells, R. M. C.; E. R. Fitch, Mc-

Master.At a recent meeting of the Track

Club executive it was decided that as

f ar as the inter-year cbampionship

was concerned the old practice of giv-

ing five, four, three, two and one

points for ist, 2nd, 3rd, 4 th and 51th

places respectively was faulty--

a glance will show that a 3rd and 4 th

place were equal in value to a ist--a

valuation which does not necessarily

give t1je year with the best athietes

the highest stand. It was accorling]y

decided that in the future ist place

should counit five points, 2nd, three

points, 3rd, one point, 4 th, one-baîf

point and 5;th one-quarter point. Inregard to the Tearn Race a change

was also made, ten, six, two, one,

points being allowed for ist, 2nd, 3rd

and 4 th places respectively. The in-

dividual championsbip allowances re-

main as of old.

The quarter mile cinder track at

the athletic -grounds, thouglh at

presenit unfinished, will be ready for

Lise l)efore next autumn and then for

the first tiîne Queen's will hold ber

annual games on bier own 'oval."

With the disadvantage of competing

on a hieavy rougb dlay track removed

the time made by our runners sbould,in ahl the events, come nearer the

records than it bas in recent years.

There are at least two new featureswhich sbould stimulate our track atb-letics to train conscientiously duiingthe summer. In the first place theambition to break a record and tbuswin in addition to the coveted -Q" a

silver-record-cup; and in the secondplace the nDossibility of forming a

unit of the team wbich will representQueen's in the Intercollegiate meet

whicb is to take place on McGilI's

athletic grounds the latter part ofOctober.

It is the intention of the manage-

ment to engage a competent exper-ienced tramner to coach tbose of our

track athîctes who may sbow by their

performances in our own sports tlieirfitness to enter into competition with

the men from McGill and Toronto.

Every student interested in track ath-

ietics is urged to interview the rnem-

bers of the Track Club Executive in

view of participating in the fal

sports.

-A VOICE FROM BEHIND," OR COLLEQE LIFE,IN RETROSPECT.

IT is generally in the third or fourthyear of bhis course that the student

of ruminative tendencies begins to

compute the general benefits of a ccql-

lege education. His observations are

naturally based on bis own particular

experiences, and the expiration of bis

Freshmafl and Sophomore days seems

sufficient warrant'for an enl.ightened

judgment. A sane criticism, bow-

ever, being devoid of person.al bias,

it must be admitted that the conclu-

sions of an undergraduate wbose at-

mosphere is stili that of college halls,

cannot lay dlaim to be utterly disin-

terested and bence not universal, bis

data lacking as tbey do, that prope.7

protection whicb the lapse of time

affords.Tbereupon it is only, when the>fiusb

of graduation has died away, and the

graduate bas iecovered in a sligbt

measure from the sbock of finding that

a new session can open witbout bim,

wben tbe outside world of men and

things has commenced to make itself

feit in a most real way, and the calmi

regions of bis tbought bave been ru-

dely assailed by men of a practical

turn-it is only, in short, wben col-

lege days are but a memory that the

students' estimate of their import can

hope to prove fair and unbiased. For,

standing apart from the scene and yet

viewîng himself as an actor in the

saine, hie is able to characterize bis

experiences with that justness of view

which makes them at once original

and/genieral, and perchance, flot un-

intevresting to others.

And indeed it is strànge to note the

modificaton which this time-element

eff cts. During bis academic course

the student bias doubtless feit the im-

press (,f new ideas upon bis time-worn

theories. Childhood's ideals have

been shattered, the impact of more

rationalistic views bas pressed against

bis cberished faith.- He bas corne to

know, witb heart-burnings it may be,

that tbings are not what they sýeem.

In the beat of academic fervour bis

confession of faith is revised to em-

brace a recognitioni of the fact tbat

the whole is greater than the part--a

truism particularly signif•cant to bim

in its philosophical application. De-

tails, minutiae, phases of trutb, fade

beside the larger facts of existence,

"«We are ail living parts of a live

wýhole'' this is the tbougbt upper-

most in bis mmnd. It is wonderful to

bim to realizé that, after ail, life is

somnetbing more than trifles, that the

1litti'e 1lives of men are as nothing com-

pared with the fact of the Deity wbio

informs ail Nature, that xvhat mav

befall man in bis course through the

QUEEN'S 1iUNIVER-SITY

JOURNAL


world is of infinitely small import

compared with the eternal, relentless

passage Mf 'ime into Eternity.

Such a conception is stupendous,

if is also appalling. WeýIl miglif the

student of spiritual tendencies offer

lis petition ''Oh Lord grant thaf we

may nof overlook the littie things of

every-day life in our search for some-

thing greater,'' for it is certain that

this attempt to sec existence steadily

and sec it whole, lias its altendant

dangers. A lofty disregard for the

neccssary restrictions of society, a

vague mysticism in matters of rclig-

ious belief and a certain egoistical

conceit of one's own higli views to

flic disdain of other forms of faitli,

are not improl;able resultants. It

secms so grandiloquent to hoast that

one is above the petty details whicli

worry oflier men that one may crr in

this very effort affer perfection.

Moreover, the thouglifful student is

deeply impresscd with the fact of

presonal influence. -None oflus liv-

eth f0 himself.'e His contact with so

many young lives, fired with lis own

zeal for knowlcdge, and imbibing it

in sucli diveristy of manner, makes

constanfly more real to him the truth

of this doctrine. He acknoxvledges

also the force of environment -"'I arn

a part of al] thaf 1 have met"--and

the union of 'these convictions brings

to him some considerable apprecia-

tion of the effecf which such a con-

course of minds as is found in the

University should have on bis partic-

ular life. For wliat appeals to him

mosf sfrongly in the doctrine of influ-

ence is nof so mudi fthc virtue which

may go out from him to others as the

reckoning of the forces which are

piaying upon ail sides ot bis own life.

He mixes freely with bis fellow-sfu-

dents, seeks their views on different

questions, endeavors to corne in touich

with men of strong personality and

firm convictions, constantly widens

the circle of his acquaintance -feelinlg

ail the tirne a satisfaction in the

knowledge that in so doing lie is en-

riching hirnself, Unconsciously'per-

haps, or even deliberately, lie seeks

to develop lis character through bis

associations, to build up and add to

the structure of bis own life and

thought hy acquisitions from the lives

of bis fellow-men. That -none of us

liveth to himself'' he accepts with

fervor. But the fervor is inspired by

ftie joy of receiving rather than by

that of givin,,.

But the side of his College life

whose characterizat ion affords him

most keen satisfaction is the social

side-as olaposed to the intellectual.

As a rebound from the stern discip-

line of Public Schools and Collegiate

Institutes the bald curriculum and fthe

freedom in methods and hours of

study are intoxicating. The student

at flrst glories in* following bis own

sweet will and runs the pace with

kindred spirits unt il the advent of

spring rushes him witli ail the other

foolisli ones into a veritable slough of

despond called -cramming" from

whicb hie emerges sorrier and wiser.

Next year his facties change and he

goes f0 the other extreme of dili-

gence, arriving at the end of lis

course at the «Ynal conviction that

society and study have equally press-

ing dlaims upon his attention.

Hencefortli lie preaches the doc-

trine of "'rounded" life. Study is al

very weil in its place--one sliould

not neglect it-nevcrheless the

claims of the social life of the Univer-

sity are not to be lightly regarded.

400


One owes it to onesself, and disti*nctlYVto one's fellows, to take a leading

part in societies, clebates and ''func-tions.'' There inust be leisure for

recreation, not onlv for healtb's sake,

l)ut also for the cultiviition of those

finer qualities of culture withiout

which no student is trulv educated.

It requires a nmce balance to accurately

determine the share of time and con-

centration to be allotted to each --but

the student who bas reacbed the Seni-

ior year can weigh the rival claims

witb precision and give to cach its

just proportion of attention. In studYhours lie works atssidtiusI., l)ut pay's

no0 less heed f0 the hours wvhich surn-

mon bim to social duties and the ten-

ets of fils cecd lay equal stress on the

values of ap)plication and relaxation.

So lie passes thr'ougb bis college

course, impressed wîtb the vast op)-

portunities afforded and the great res-

ponsibilities încurred, and cornes to

tbe parting of the ways. Ile bas

learned many lessons and grasped

many truthis, bc bias donc sorne good

and porchance some barr. H-e bias

''lived bis lite,'' his college lite, out

to its littie end, and passed into the

great world. Soon tbe keenest re-

membrances are dulled, the rnost

vivi'd impressions become softenecl,

and Universit 'v life shapes itself in

dimmer outline. The judgments

which the student passed in under-

graduate dla 's upon bis college course,

its benefits and its significance are

gradually readjusted. Not onlv are

bis conclusions modified, but in some

cases thev are almost reversed. Tbe

lessons he prided bimself uîpon mas-

tering seemn of strangely littie wortlî.

The grand distinctions he set u in

the pride of enlarged experience bave

broken down. The influences wbicb

But tbe most radical cbange wbichhis former judgments undergo is tbe

THZR MEDICAL CONVOCATION.

D 'URING the present century wehave witnessed many import-

ant functions in connection with theUniversity. There have been Royaland Vice-Royal visits; extensive cer-emonies in connection with the lay-ing of corner stonesand the openingof new buildings; but ahl of thesehave been quite eclipsed by the Med-ical Convocation this year.

This was the hest Convocation wehave ever attended at Queen's. Wehave listened to famous men fromparts far and near but, the ''Meds."this year outclassed ail the greatgatherings of the past number of yearsby bringing here to receive degrees,three such distinguished men, as EarlGrey, Governor General of Canada;Lord Strathcona, Chancellor of Aber-deen University, Scotland; and Rev.A. F. Kirkpatrick, D.D., Master of

Selwyn College, Cambridge, 'Eng-land. Each of these distinguishedmen received the degree'of LL.D.

We must congratulate the MedicalFaculty and ail connected with thearrangements for the Convocation onthe splendid'success of their closingfunction. The addresses deliveredwere highly appreciated by ail of thathuge concourse of people. The Gov-ernor General and Lord Strathconawere particularly happy in their re-marks and won the students at thevery outset. AIl, without exception,were quite captivated by the fire andenthusiasm and genuine colonialspirit manifested by Earl Grey andnot less were they drawn to the nobleand venerable patriot and phiianthro-pist, Lord Strathcona. The loudcheers which greeted them when theyrose to address the audience, the raptattention accorded to their speechesand the hearty applause which fol-lowed s0 many of their.forcible utter-ances, manifest in the most unmis-takable mariner. how completely theyhad won their waýr to the students'hearts. Another visit from any ofthese gentlemen will be most gladlywelcomed arounid Queen 's.

We wish also to congratulate thestudents on their excellent behavioron this occasion. They had theiramusement as usual, but it was sowell reined in and interpolated insuch timely places that it tended torelieve and please both speakers andaudience rather than to distress anddisgust themr. There is nothing morewholesome than colîlege wit from thegallery on Convocation day providedit is real, spontaneous and not meresilliness. Genuine wit is always inorder except when the Chaplain hasthe floor. Many fine compliments

have been heard, on every hand re-

garding the splendid conduct of the

students. But one very noticeablething was the fact, that thougli, out

of respect for our guests, some re-

straint was exercised, there was no

lack of genuine enthusiasm. This

was a feature so marked that Earl

Grey turned the edge of the jeering

howl which greeted lis attemptedcompliment to the beauty and intelli-

gence of the audience into a joyous

laugh by complimenting their enthus-

iam. Queensmefi are enthusiastic

and they like men who see it and ap-

preciate it. Beyond that they don't

want much said about it.We feel then that we are quite with-

in the bounds of the truth, when we

sav that the Medical Convocation this

year was easily the best in several

respects that bas been held this cen-

tury at -Good Old Queen's." May

many sucli gakherings make lier fam-

ous in the future and gather into the

circle of her Alumni great numbers

of the distinguished men throughdut

the whole British Empire.

Here too were the Jun-iors just coming to years of wisdom,full of good resolves that work sboutdnot tbis year be postponed titi theIdes of March-and here were thegrave and reverend Seniors tryinghard flot to look conscious in theirnewty acquired dignity-a happy,cheerfut throng, for were flot exami-nations far in the dim future. Ourgood Queen that day gave a rightroyal greeting to ber subjects and weleft with a firm resolve to be toyaland true.

Those benighted Phitistines wbothink that girls cannot sustain a logicalargument should bave been presentto hear the several clever, intetlec-tuai, debates that have taken placeduring the year. Nor shaîl we for-get our impromptu debaters, withtheir reasons, many and profound,why we shoutd, nay must add love toour curriculum. Tndeed for one anx-ious moment it seemed that the god-dess Levana trembled on ber thronefearful lest the boy Cupid shouldusurp ber place. Now that a silvercup is to be competed for between thevarious years will enthusiasm.rise toa still higher pitch.

As I looked back over the year one

evening with its lights and fiowersand music stands out pre-eminent-the ever-to-be remembered night ofthe Levana Tea, which shall go downto history as one of the happiest aswell as one of the most successfulevents not only of the college yearbut of ail the reign of Levana.

'Beauty is truth, truth beauty, thatis all ye know on earth and ati yeneed to know." The interesting phul-osophical address on beauty given byour poputar French professor wasmuch enjoyed by ail the girls, andyet down in the depths of some poorlone Frenchi student's heart rankleda sense of the eternal inconsistencyof things; ''And still she gazed, andstiti ber wonder grew," that one whos0 thoroughly understood and enj oyedbeauty could make sucli gruesomeand altogether horrible hieroglyphicsin blue lead-pencil on poor, little, in-nocent French essays.. Perhaps,however it is we who are benighted.and there may indeed be a beauty inthose grotesque markings which cer-tainly does not appear on the surface.

It was indeed a dream of fair womenwhich appeared before us as we lis-tened to the reading of Tennyson'sbeautiful poem. To most of us thispoem will have a far greater signifi-cance than ever before, and when inafter days we sit in the warma summersunshine, without a thought of springexaminations to confine and cramp us,we shaîl read again and see once morethe galaxy of beauty in their regalrobes of splendour.

And now the year is all but over.Many are the scenes which havebeen smiled upon by the goddess.

Froni these homely articlesand dispensed in our dainty chinawith as dainty fingers to serve havewe oft received the cup that cheersbut not inëbriates.

And so it is over, and to-morrow are-examrs. The page is turned, neyer

Drip, drip, drip, drip, the water fellwith a soft musical plash from theeaves at the gentie coaxing of thewarm spring sunshine. The hirdsgathered in delighted groups, pouringout floods of harmonîous chirpings.Ail was bright and giad without, andthe girl with her mathematics book,struggling over sines and cosines andequations that would comne wrong,sighed and set to work again withgrim determination in her eye.

In the next room her friend sat puz-zling over English. If Sir Thomaswas an imnbecile then Oliver wasright; unless Sir Thomas was an im-becile, Oliver was not wrong." Sheread then paused, and read again,'here is this dilemma,.... Well,

I should think there xvas a dilemmna,she said. ''If Oliver was not wrong,then hie was right; that is, unless SirThomas was an imbecile Oliver wasright;" But if Sir Thomas was animbecile, Oliver was right; so wehave. the two statements; if SirThomas was an imbecile Oliver wasright, and uniess Sir Thomas was animbecile, Oliver was right. UnlessSir Thomas was an imbecile. meansin every other case except the casein which Sir Thomas would be animbecile.

Q UITE a cammatian bas, beenstirred up among, the Cangre-

gationalists of the United-States avertbe gift ai $ioo,ooo ta tbe Missian

Board fram Mr. Racký1feller. Its ac-ceptance has been vigarously de-

naunced by several leading divines;but the majarity were in favar ai re-ceiving the maney.

Mr. Rackefeller and athers ai bis

ilk are a source ai perrenial interest

ta purists in the United States.

Whenever ather tapics ai discussianlaul, there yet remain Mr. Rockefellerand the Standard Oul Trust, whicbare perfectly sale abjects ta vituper-ate, if the applause ai the multitudemerely, wha view things superficially,is what is saugbt. We would takethis opportunity ta put a bug in the

ear ai those persons-and such maynot be absent irom Queen's Univer-sity who lugubriously shake the headwhen gits ai money from such menas John D. Rockefeller, Carnegie, or

other kings ai finance, are mentionedas having been made ta educationalor religiaus institutions. Jna. D.Rockeielller has moved under a fiercelight, and because bis business has

assumed such enormous proportions'the man in the street easily sees ap-parent fiaws in bis methods. Butshould the same individual turn amicroscope ai even moderate magni-fying power an his awn ordinary

every-day business, hie might surpriseeven himseli ta observe ta what anextent these same flaws characterizethe conduct ai his owxi business, in

proportion ta its importance.The Arts Editor wauld ask indul-

gence in venturing ta advise the mem-

bers af tbee raduating class in Divin-

ity flot ta contemplate shutting thedoor an a golden opportunity, should

same Canadian Rockefeller at somnefuture date make a contribution af$ 100,o00 ta the Cburch Mission Fund.If Rackefeller's wealth is af the devil,why insist th'at it ail shall remain sa,when a sumr by no means insignifi-cant, can be braught aver ta divineruses?

But is it taking a true attitude ta

persuade aurselves that we see the at-mosphere of the netber world aroundthe wealth ai America's great finan-cial magnates? Why araund their' s

anyv mare than ,araund that ai the

average church supparter wha puts a

$5 cantribution an the plate the day

the special callectian far Missians istaken up? As already intimated it

is quite sale ta make the statementthat the business ai which Jna. D.Rackefeller is the head, is canductedan as high principle as the averagebusiness with a $io,ooa capital-ifnot bigber.

TÉhe hostile attitude sa aiten dis-played tawards men ai great wealthbas, vaguely ar cansciausly, behindit the belief that man bas fia right tamare tban a reasanable amaunt ai

questions first and simply, be gets hisliving. He can use only sa much

food and wear only sa much clathes,and take advantage ai the oppartun-ities far spiritual develapment afford-ed by boaks, music and warks ai art-sa easily obtainable in the modernworld. He may keep up a number airesidences in diffierent parts; but theservants he, maintains in these get,perhaps, morê comfort out af them-

than he does. Additions to his

wealth he is continually compelled to

re-invest in the development of the

country. This is all lie can do with

it, and answers the first question. It

thus goes to afford employment to

labour. What then does the great cap-

italist get out of it all? His own self

realization; the opportunity to give

expression to the great natural capa-

city divinely given to organize and

direct great enterprises, which are

mucli more effective than many small

concerns and which are necessary to

best meet the needs of the modemn

economîc world. Amidst all this ac-

tivity the true self-realization of the

great capitalistic organizer-or of any

man--depends on the clearness with

which he grasps the truth that no man

lives unto himself.

A. G. Penman was our delegate to

the Annual Arts Dance of McGil

Univeristy. He reports that lie had

a splendid time both at the dance and

away from it. The dance was held in

the Royal Victoria College, which is

very suitably adapted for functions of

this kind. The event was perhaps

the best of the three spcial functions

of McGill this year and was private

rather than semi-public. The comn-

pany was composed chiefly of the

younger set of Montreal society. The

chairman of the reception committee

was an old friend of A. G's and to-

gether they did the town.

Word was received last week that

Dr. A. H. Singlefon, recently a house

surgeon in the Kingston General Hos-

pital had secured the degree of L.R.

C.P. and S. from Edinhurgh Univer-

sity whither he went in February last.

His many friends round Queen's will

be glad to hear of his success.

T HE mandate of the ManagingEditor allows no room for ex-

cuse or shirking or we might be

tempted to dash down our quili in

despair and disgust at this season of

the year. That annual strain and

stress of things is upon us and it

seems useless to attempt to write

anything that the busy Divinities can

find time to read. By the time this

journal is in their hands the final act

of the drama will be on the bo ards,

and in a few more days the whole

play will be over, the audience gone

and the place deserted.

The various ''fields" of the mem-

bers of the Hall have caused a great

deal of discussion and interest and

soon we wvill be scattered all over our

broad country, busy with a new kind

of activity and perhaps with more

seriousness than accompanies much

of our college work. Some of us will

flot be back another session and it

will soon he time to say "Farewell"

-- But we must not become sentimen-

tal or someone may imagine that he

is reading the Ladies' column.

A couple of weeks ago the Hall was

the scene of an interesting little inci-

dent when we expressed by a small

token our appreciation of the term's

work with Dr. Macrae. The Pope's

oratorical effusion probably Ieft noth-

îng to l)e said in reference to the mat-

ter, but we would like to emphasîze

one point which was mentioned, but

not too prominently. Dr. Macrae

came to us a stranger among strangers

and unaccustomed to our ways and

habits,'and yet in a few months he

has by his very kindly spirit and warm

interest endeared himnself personallv

417


to probably every member of theHall. His kind criticisms on the de-livery of our class sermons and sym-pathy with us in any question orproblem which we might raise havebeen by no means the feast appre-ciated part of his work. A few ofthe members of the class preachingin some of the city churches found Dr.Macrae a deeply interested and sym-pathetic mempber of their congregationand his criticisms and encouragementwere s0 much appreciated that it sug-gests the idea -of baving some of ourcollege sermons delivered and criti-cized in that way. We feel sure thatmany of the men would greatly pre-fer ta preach before one of the citycongregations than ta be expectedta do himself justice in the requiredsermons before the class. There are>difficulties in the way of course, butthe idea might be feasible for thefinal year at least. This is but oneof many ways in which Dr. MacRaebas ï-hown bis deep interest in us ail,and we tbink we are expressing. tbeopinion of the Hall when we say tbatthis is very particularly one aspect ofthe session's work of whicb we de-sired ta express aur very bearty appre-ciation ta Dr. Macrae.

In view of certain other pressingengagements we are permitted tamake aur calumn brief tbis numberand will simply add the Jaurnal'sbest wishes ta ail tbe Pope's flock inthe exams. whicb are naw upon us.

With the next issue of the journaltbe present staff will bid adieu tajournalism. To aur successors wecan do no more tban wish them successarnd tbe same pleasant relations withProfessors and students as we baveenjoyed.

T HE examinations in Science havebegun and as usual the market

was opened with Descriptive Geom-

etr.v in the lead. I3idding for places

on the exchange xvas bri sk and pnices

were high. Many new faces were

seen and also many of the old brokers

were present or had substitutes to

look after their interests. This state-

ment is not intended as a hint to ex-

ami ners to start an investigation for

it is generally conceded in Science

Hall that the end justifies the means

in case of passing Descriptive Geom-etry. Occasionally a ''rare avis" is

discovered who possesses an imagin-

ation more vivid than Rider Haggard

and a genius for seeing planes inter-

secting in space, who is able to attain

even the coveted first division. We

are sure however that a proper medi-

cal examination would reveal the

fact that such a one is abnormal in

more than one respect, and his end

will be an uintimely one.

The novelty of writing Exams. in

Grant Hall has already worn off and

the boys are now able to concentrate

their attention to the question paper

instead of wandering in imagination

to more congenial scenes. We are of

the opinion that Science examinations

should all be held in the respective

rooms where the lectures were deliv-

ered so that memories would be

sharpened and the ability to think

increased by the inspiration afforded

by the familiar surroundings.

A FEW days a-go the journal re-ceived an interestirig letter

from Rev. Dr. MacDonald, M.A., '63,of Strathcona, Alta., N. W. T., fromwhich we mnake a few extracts. Hesays: ''At this great distance fromKingston, 1 assure you that 1 wel-come the journal as an old friendfrom dear old £?ueen's. The Grant,Hall number is worth double the priceof the Journal for the whole session.1 can say the samne of the Rndowmenlnumber.

At the Manhattan, Eye, Ear, andIbroat Hospital in New York we


learn that four out of the six house

staff -physiciafl5 are (jueen' s graduates

Of '03. They are Dr. G. H. Ward,

Dr. j. E. McCambridge, Dr. .1 L.

McDowall and Dr. C. D. St. Remv.

This institution has the largest ont-

door eye and ear clinic in New York.

We are pleased to notice that Queen's

graduates have for somne years past

secured.quite a number of good posi-

tions 'in first class hospitals in the

United States, especially where these

positions are filled by competition.

It las recently heen annouinced that

the award of the 1851 Science Re-

search Scholarship lias been made to

Mr. F. H. MacDougall, M.A., of

Maxville, Glengarry Count 'y. M r.

MacDougall has long been looked

upon as one of our brightest students.

He won the McLennan schlarship

when he entered the University. In

1902 lie secured the degree of B3achi-

elor of Arts, winning tlie University

Medal in Clemistry; and in 1903 lie

secured the degree of Master of Arts.

During the Session '03-'04 Mr. Mac-

Dougali was Editor-in-Chief of the

journal, in whicl office he proved

that lie possessed literary, as well as

scientific ability. During the past

two years lie hias been demonstrator

in Chemistry and assistant to Dr.

Goodwin. The Sdliolarship entities

the holder to two years' research work

in some foreign University and, we

have it on good authority, that Mr.

MacDougall intends *spending this

time in Germany, in the study of

chemistry. The journal extends to

him its hearty congratulations and

best wishes for success.

Another Queen's graduate hias won

laurels for himself by securing the

Rhodes Scholarship in the examina-

tion r.ecently held. J. M. McDonnell,

son of G. M. Mcl)onnell, K.C., King-

ston, was the successful candidate

for Çjueen's. He stood higher than

any of his competitors and hias the

distinguishied honor of being our first

Rhodes Scholar. Mr. McDonnell

was well able to fill ail the severe re-

quirements in t.his competition, both

intellectual and physical. He was

the gold medallist in Greek last year

and lias always taken a high stand in

ail his classes in the University; be-

s ides this, hie hias been a leader in foot-

hall and hockey during his whole

course. To win this Scholarship is

considered a very high honor, the

glory of whidh'is reflected on the Uni-

versity, to which the successful can-

didate helongs, as well. Our pride in

Mr. McDonnell is not lessened in any

degree by learning that not one stu-

dent in New York could qualify for a

similar scliolarship on the saine exam-

ination. -j. M." has acquitted himn-

self nobly on this side of the water

and we feel confident that he will do

high honor to 'good old Queen' s" in

and about historic Oxford. Thegood

that follows him cannot exceed our

well wishing.

Mr. J. B3. Dandeno, A.M., Ph.D.,

who graduated from Queen's in 1895

and is now Assistant Professor in Bot-

any at Harvard in a letter to Prof.

Fowler writes in an appreciative way

of the advantage of Queen's as the

poor man's Univeristy. He speaks

of his work in preparing forhis Ph.D.

his work at Ç)ueen's and le goes on

A most confounded ass I've been;

The glory seems an empty breatb,

And 1 am nearly bored to death

And otber things beyond my skilh,Discussed in books ail darkly planned

And more in number than tbe sand.

BOAR IIUNTING IN TURKEY.

IT was a fairly warm Autumn after-noon on whichi we started. Of

course I was donc up in truc native

fashion except for my beavy Ameni-

can sweater and shooting jacket. My

legs were encased in native leggings

made ot thick brown feit and imper-

vious to water, and on my feet xvas a

pair of."'charouklis" or native mocca-.

sins, consistiflg simply of a rectangu-

lar piece of soft, untanned leather,

the edges of which are hitched up

around the foot liv a string passed

through holes along the rim and

lirouglit up and wound around the

ankie. Sucli footgear are very liglit

and comfortable, and it is surprising

how littie they let water through. On

my liack xvas slung a double-barreled,

smooth 12 bore, and around rix' wais:t

was a goodly number of bullet cart-

nidges with a few shot cartridges, on

the chance of meeting birds. 'My

guide, a sturdyv looking fellow, hiad,

in addition to bis gun, a bag of piro-

visions and a blanket strapped on his

back.

We soon left the village in a south-

erly direction down into a valcy and

then up a very steep hli by an ex-

tremely zig-zag path covered with

loose boulders and pelibles. Several

times 1 would fain have stopped for

breath but the smooth, rapid gait of

the guide in front of me kept me on

till we reached the top. For the next

five hours our path was a repetition of

what we liad passed over. Some-

times the road would narrow down in-

to a deep gulch, with higli, sioping,

sandy banks, on the tops of which

were bushes whose branches almost

met overhead. The streams we had

to cross were simply brooks bubbling

over rocky lieds, and generally very

dark because of the heavy overshad-owing forest growth. Arbutus and

scrub-oak abounded. After several

hours we reached the zone of higher

trees, of birch and Spanish chestnut,

and the aspect of the country began

to grow wilder. We now carried our

guns in our arms and Nigoghos, for

that was the naine of my guide, kept

a sharp lookout ahead for -any chance

travellers we might meet. It is

always safe to lie on one's guard as

there is no telling what sort of person

one mav meet in the lonlier parts of

the country.

Dusk had well set in liy the time

we stopped for tlue niglit. Our camp

was well chosen. It wvas a licautiful

spot liv the side of a clear rippling

mountain stream surrounded on al

sides by the tail birch trees which had

itireaidv hiegun to shed their leaves.

Af ter rnaking a fire and frying some

bacon we ate ravenously of our stores.

We then collected enougli dry fire-

wood to last the night and 1 lay down

to sleep) with my feet towards the fire.

Nigoghos fook the first watch and it

seemed no time until lie woke me after

three hours and 1 was compelled to

reljn(luish the l,lanket in lis favour.

1 soon got over my drowsiness, how-

ever. The night was simply bewitch-

ing. Close at hand was the fire which

needcd frequent replenishing. Its

light, fitfully changing, penetrated

very littie the gloomy darkness about

us. The flames cast weird shadows

around me and on the sulent sleeping

figure which sccmed to have resolved

itsclf into a part of the surroundings.

The moon was nearly, full and it

shone directIv on the trickling, gurg-

ling stream at my side. And'the niglit

cries made me wild with a longing

for 1 knew not what-these were the

mournful notes of the night-hawk andthe occasional long drawn hoot of theowl intent on its marauding expedi-tions, while the sharp cry of an un-known animal and the' occasionalvoices of birds singing in thieir sleepinterspersed the incessant croaking offrogs and toads. 1 was glad, how-ever, when my turn came for sleep,and not tbe loudest cry of a nightprowler could have kept me fromdropping instantly into a sound slum-ber. The sun had risen high wben weate our breakfast and started again.We reacbed our destination late tbatafternoon, a couple of coal-burners'buts, The coal burners themselveswere there and provided us with afresh supply of provisions. Afterresting for some time and gatberinginformation as to the whereabouts oftbe boar, we set out fora gentle slopewbich we soon reacbed. And therewas wbat we wanted! Under tbeSpanish cbestnut trees that coveredthe slopewere innumierable foot-printsof tbe boar showing tbat they had re-cently been there feeding on tbecbestnuts. We went down the siopeto the valley below, and at one placewhere the stream flowed over flatground and spread out flfteen ortwenty yards wide, we saw that thebanks of tbe bed of the stream weretorn up, sbowing that bere tbe ani-mals came to wallow and to drink.The opposite slope of the valley wassteeper. After noting the directionof the wind we went to tbe leeward ofthe watering place and about thirtyyards away made a rough screen of

boughs and leaves. Ilere we settledourselves as best we could. It wascold, but we had borrowed a coupleof sheeep-skin robes from the char-coal burners. We ate a cold supper,

taking ail. precautions to be quiet.And tben we waited. We were invery cramped positions. The steepground was set witb sbort, thickstumps and roots which projected ahlabout us in the most uncomfortablefashion, not to say anytbing of thesbarp stones tbat dug into our kneeswben we attempted to kneel or tberoots tbat stuck in our backs when wetried to lean against an invitingledge. Nighit bad well set in when-wbat was it that instantly put us onthe alert and made mie entirelY forgetthe numI) 'pins and needies" feelingin my legs? It was occasional snap-pings of a twig and-yes, the unmis-takable grunting recognizable any-whiere. WVe kept very quiet, our eyesand cars alert; the wind was stili inour direction. Presently indistinctforms hegan to resolve themselves intbe water thirty yards away. Ourguns , already cocked, were pointed atthem, and I xvaited impatiently forthe signal to fire. We flred almostsîmultaneously and with both harrels.Instanitly the berd of about twenty totbirtv individuals scrambled out andwere away. You can imagine ýmy in-tense excitement as we rushed downto tbe spot. And we had succeededheyond our dreams. Two fine fat-looking hoars lay stone dead.

Early in the morning we got ahorsefrom tbe cbarcoal burners and load-ing it with our game started borne forFard izag.

THE COLLEGE MAN IN THE WORLD.

T HE idea that is held by moststudents that a college coursefits them for a place in the world is

not entirely erroleotis. It is well

fonnded. If the course they pursue

does not so fit them, it wonild be a

failure. The niere fact that sotie col-

lege men are neyer able to adapt,themselves to their surnouddings, and

get a grip, is 'no argument for or

against college training, It siniply

means that a particular individutai is

lacking. Not the slightest discredit,but rather the reverse should attacli to

a college graduate, if hie is less sordid,*more careful of lhis ideals, and thils

open to the charge of being less

practical than other men. That isabout the samne thing as to say that

lie is not practical'and actual to the ex-clusion of the theoretical and the ideal,

and is really a compliment to what

hie caun appreciate. If it were gener-

ally true that college life developed an

artificial unworldliness in students,and mnade thein to take a false view of

the so called real world, the charge

would be quite serions. Sucli a

charge is flot often miade, but it is

worth whule to, look at the situation of

the student as the result of lis train-

ing.There is no doubt that the practi-_

cal side of life lias received consider-

able emphasis in Canadian Univer-sities iii recent years, and it is flotwithout reason that on the part ofsome students there lias been a ten-dencyv to, resist the influences. whichthey feit were destroying the old-university idea. The coming ini of a

large body of practical science men,

of inany medical students with verylimited education who take no course

in Arts, and of many Arts students

specializing in science, ail tending to

lower the average standard of cultureaniong the student body, viewed from

the Standpoint of philosophy and

literature, lias quite changed theatmosphere of the unive.rsities. That

atuiosphere is no longer charged with

currents that combine to producepreachers, but tends rather to destroy

the otlier-worldlinesS which existed in

colleges a generation ago. Notwitli-standing that, liowe ver, there usuallyawaits the student a rude experience,iii the world after lie graduates. Out-side the circle of lis women friends,who like to see him arrayed with

gown and hood, hie finds very littieimportance attached to the fact of lis

being a university nman. And whenlie cornes to rub up against men withkeener wits, and sharper memnoriesthan hisown, lie wonders sometimesabout that college course. The fact

UNIVER-SITY


is the worid takes a mani at wbat lie iswortli. If the college course liasnmade himi a better mati lie is wortlis0 mucli more than lie otherwis(ýwould have been, no' doubt aboutthat. He will hear rernarks about thenpractical and tbeoretic college mati,

wlile ail tlie tituie hie is conscious of awider range and a broader view thiiare possessed by his critics. lie findsthat lie cannot synupathize witli tlieirdogmatic off-the-bat setulement ofmen and questions, and while lie may

tiot have just that ease of inove-ment in ordinary things, ixor thefaîniliarity witli wliat is to hi to a

large extent a new worcd, lie somie-liow feels secure of himiseif and of bisability to miake it go.

.There is a type of preaclier wbosetraining bas been onesided and in-complete, just a college inan. Hiewas taken front tlie cradie and sent toscliool, front there lie went on to col-lege, and riglit into tlie ministry.How could lie know the lives of the

men, to womn lie preached every

Suiiday? lis training sliould baveincluded a course of tbree years in the

rougli bard world, wliere lie would becalled upon to test tlie moral ideas liebad con jured up in the coilege classes,wliere lie would bave bad to take a

blow and returu another, and wberelie would be tauglit that religion andmoral ideas m~ust not only not bedivorced f rom the practical activeworid of men and things, but thattbey are essentially related to it.

Consequently tlie divinity studeutthat bas liad to rongli it, goes inito the

ministry a mucli better educated maxithan even the fellow wbose academiccareer bas been more brilliant, butwlio lacks the practical training.

Walter Wyckoff, the eccnonîist,

wanted to study labor conditions in1the United States, and lie started outin Massachusetts, flot as a Princetonprofessor seeking interviews, in whiclilie would get loaded up witli false in-formation, b ut as an unskilled laborer,without eveni the backing of a goodroll of bis. For a whole surnmer lieplugged away at one job and another,ail the time gettilig 011 the inside ofthings until lie had covered thegxouind, for his purpose, clear fromMassachusetts to Californiia. Theillie was in a position to apply listheories or if nieed be, to reconstructthenm.

No one mtore than the ministerneeds the strength that coules froinpractical training. But lie also nieedsto be a cultured mant, in the narroweduse of that time. Hus life sbould bea combination of the theoretical andtlie practical, of culture and every dayaffairs, the ideal life of the saint andtthe actual life of the ordinary maxn.The îninistry affords an opportuliityon the one baud for-tlie cultivation ofan uniworldly dilettante, useless, lazyexistence, or on the other for theactivities of a strong cultured life thatflows out in service to its fellows. Acollege course that turns a man outon the world witli a one-sided trainingis sotmewliat responsible for the,;nan,if lis education is inconiplete and'one-sided.

1 have spoken of the preacher be-cause lie is as ouglit to be the broad-est and best trainied inan goiùig out ofa university. But it is an evideptfact that there are many nmen goingout into the miedical and legal profes-sions wbu are just niechauics for thereason tbat they lack the culture of anArts course and the broadening effectthat it gives. They have gonie into


college with the definite idea of

getting the training necessary to prac-

tice law or medicilie and having got

that they want no more. Sucli a

mani is the auitithesis of the uniworldly

minister and a inucli less tolerable

person. There are conspicuons in-

stances in~ law and medicine of men

that took no Arts course, but who

are shiniiig lights in their profession,

and gbod citizens of the state. But

there are nunîbers of nien iii our law

and miedical schools that would be

made inîmeasureablY better men were

they comipelled to take a good Arts

course. Soîne of the big American

law and nîedical schools will not now

admit a main unless lie is a college

graduate. But I ain not argfling so

mucli for an Arts course, as for the

point that a main going into the un-

worldlv work of the iniistry should

have a practical training, and that

other meni going into law, uxedicine,

journalisili, engineerinig or business

life should«have a few years devoted

to an effort after gennine wealth of

culture, so that those of either class

will have a more complete traininlg.

More than anything else a college

course ought to train a mani to get

underneath and ail round the quest-

ions or situations with which hie has

to deal. It should deliver hlm from,

and make týhim hate superficiality,

narrouness and error, and set him

free either froin a false conservatisni

or a sballow liberalisîn. The higli

value of a good college training is

being miore generallY recognized in

Canada. Last fail John Morley told

iii bis speacli at the university of

Toronto convocation that ini the

British Goverumexit as constituted a

short time bel ore that, every mani,

save one, on the Governament frontrow were university muen. Over in

the United States where the Federal

Governanieflt spends $io,ooo,ooo a

year on research work, college men

are iu constant demiand to serve the

state in the work of getting and col-

lecting information. Not iinucli bas

been doue iii Canada tixat bas called

for the work of uriversity men, but a

beginniflg has l)eell made, notably in

the case of the Ontario Railway Tax-

ation Commission. It is incumbeut

upon university professors aili stu-

iients to get dloser to the life of the

Canadian people. There does flot

need to be a separate life of town and

gown, buit oniy a distinction between

them. The university could fill a

larger place in our country if it would

make a more earnest effort to corne

into symipathetic toucli with the peo-

ple whom it is trying to serve. By

doiug so, its worth as a determining

factor iu society would be made more

mnifest. But where a student gradu-

ates froni a college and from under

teachers that hie feels 'are out of touch

with the wider life of the country, he

will have to labor in order to overcomie

the loss. If his teachers had enthus-

iastic admiration only for ancient art,

for the literature of generations and

centuries ago, and who cannot sec the

force, the greatuess or the wonders of

this present timie the graduate goes

ixîto life mainied. The cure, however,

is in bis own hands. It is for him

to prove that lie is a mani among men,

that for hini nothing human is to be

treated with slight regard, and that he

acts in the living present, stronger

and surer because of his college

traiinig.Toronto. J. A. AIKIN.


LONDON'TO PARIS.IT does flot seem necessary to offerany apology for the appearance iii

this issue of an account of the experi-ence of two Queen's students (thewriter being one) while'in Franceduring the early part of July. If thearticle is of sufficient general interestto be read at ail, the writer will feelthat lie is aiply repaid for lis trouble.

At the outset, I miglit say that the27th of June found a fellow studentwho is well knowii about Queen' s,and myseif in the Iieart of Londoni, theworld's great metropolis. But as it isnot nly intention to give any descrip-tian of this great Babylon, I shall passon to outline a few sketches of ourexperiences for the next ten days; andas diary notes are the ehief source ofinformation, the reader need not lookfor any style or finish but nierely a fe w"4notes by the way."

At two o'clock on the afternoon ofFriday, june 2 7 th, we left London (onour bicycles) and arrived at Newha-ven. at io o'clock iii timie to catch theboat crossing the channel to Dieppe.We did not have'long to wait, as ourboat left about 1o:30, but we were gladto have that haîf hour to discuss thevalue ai the francs and centimes whichwe got at the ticket office in exchangefor English money. Soon we wereon the boat and plying our way acrossthe English channel. I dare not sayanything about sea sickness for fearthat it iniglit cause a distaste for any-thing subsequent which I have to say.But we werenfot sick! We hadhlard-ly tiniefor it for the first tling weknew we were in Dieppe, in France.Needless to say we lost no tume ingetting ashore to experience the sensa-tioni of standing upon French soul.But it didn't seem to be different froni

any other soil and for a moment ortwo it seenied to ns that we were stillin IEngland. But we did flot longentertain thie idea. Looking aroundus we saw unmistakeable evidencesthat we were in France. (The town(ofDieppe) iii itself had a Frenchi ap-pearance, if you know wliat that- isin Frenchi.) The quick and livelymovemients of the people with, theirdark complexions and eyes, the hustieand bustle in this direction and inthat, together with the general confu-sioni of tongues, although but one lan-guage, told us that we were in a typi-cal French town, and a beautifultown of which the reader niay get afair impression froin the accom-panying illustration. But we did tiotstay long iii this place as we wereanxious to pusb on to Paris Not toweary the reader witli too many de-tails 1 niay say that we left Dieppeabout 7 o'clock and arrived in Rouenin time for lunch. I need not havesaid iii time for lunch, for bad we ar-rived at midnight it woold have beeniii tîme, s0 wondrously acconimodatingare the French people in the hotelsand ca~fés. Well after having some-thing to eat-we didn't know mucliFrenchi but one does not need a verylarge vocabnlary to get something tosatisfy lis muner wants-we set aboutseeing soinething of this famous oldtown, of which we had r*d so inucliin history, and as we did s0 one couldnot lielp being reniinded of the open-ing paragrapli in Marie Corelli's,MasterChristian, where she says :"The sunwas sinkinig and from the many quaintand beautiful gray towers whidh crownthe ancient city of Rouen the sacredchinie pealed forth mielodiously....Market wonien returning to their cot-tage homes, after a long day's chaffer-

in their slow trudge along the dusty

road and crossed theuiselves devoutly;

a bargenlan lazily glidiug down the

river on lis flat, unwieldly craft, took

his pipe fromi his mouth, lifted his cap

miechanically, and muttered, more

from habit than reflection - "Saint

and garlanded the tinme-honored old

with a thousaud ethereal hues of soft

and changeful colour, translùs ifg all

visible things into the misty semiblauce

Through the beautiful rose-windoW of

the Cathedral of Notre Dame the sun

flashed his parting rays, weavlflg

bright patterns of rnby, gold and

Just as the "Eglise" overshadows ahl

else in a Frenchi village, so was the

Notre Dame Cathedral' the most con-

spicuons oýject in the far-famed his-

toric old town of Roueni. But time

was passirlg with us and we had to

hurry on. Before leaving Ronen we

went into a bookstore and were as-

tonnded to learn that we had to pay

for stamps at the rate of twenty-five

centimes each-the price of a litre of

"ivin ronge." So after that we con-

cluded that we would invest more in

the latter conîmodity than the fornier.

However, we got our stamps and some

other little necessaries of travel and

left Rouen in the hope Of reaching

Paris the next day. It might be of

interest to the reader to informi hlm

that we travelled on our bicycles, pre-

ferring to do so, in order that we

miight enjoy the benefit of the country

scenery, andi at the some timie have

the liberty of disposing of our tinie as

we pleased. And 1 ean assure every

reader of this article that this trip from

Rouen to Paris, along the sparkling

waters of the river Seine - then

through the forest of Louviers, then

between two rows of taîl poplars that

seeni to converge in the distance was

one of the pleasantest experiences of

our lives. Having passed through

Mantes, Vetiieni], and several other

srnall villages we caught sight of the

Eiffel tower. which told us that we

were riot far from Paris. Further

perhaps than the reader may at first

think for the Eiffel tower cau be seen

for mnany miles. At tinies we envied

those who were comfortably seated in

automobiles, rushing ahead at the rate

of if fty or sixty miles an hour. When-

ever we met onie of these we alwqys

gave it haîf the road, sometimes we

met a few dozen ot them. Well,

almnost before we were aware of it, we

were in the suburbs of the capital of

France-the niost beantiful city in the

world, and before long we were iii the

centre cf the greaLt city of art and

fashion, the Paris of the twentieth cen-

tury and the Paris of the stirring times

of the Revolution. Most of us are,

through pictures, more or less familiar

with the Champ Elysees, the grand

promenade of Paris,-the Louvre the

great art gallery and museumn of Paris

a nd we might say of the world,-the

gorgeons stair-case of the Grand opera

house which covers an area of some

three acres of ground,-the Pantheon,

the Gardens of Luxemburg, -the Place


de la Concorde and the Triumiphal Arcli-these we have said are in a sensefamiliar to every eue, anci so we passtlîem by to mnake room for a few re-miarks regarding perhaps a more in-teresting the me-the péople them-selves. It bas been said that when aGernian visits a strange t/ôwi, thefirst thing hie does is to find out wberehie cati get the best beer ; the Italianlooks up to see whether the sky ishlue ; the Amnerican reads the sigliboards and the advertisernents, andthe Englismnan bas only eyes for-theladies. If this be true I amn afraidthat we were flot true descendents ofJohni Bull, but yet as my ceuipaiiionwas more E nglish than miyself liegenerously lent nie sexue of lis ideason the ladies, and se we venture tomake some few remarks on that sub-jeet, and if we make coniparisons wehope they will net be too odjous. Ifthey are, the editors for the Ladiescolumiu will have a theine to writeabout. In going froin London toParis one cannet fail to notice that theParisiennes walk, gesttires and dressare more agreeable to look at than themore serions and sober dress of hierLondon sister. The Parisienne walks

THF, JOURNAL as, this year, iii itsTvarionis columins called attentionto mauy important features of college

life, and has velitured, on a few nota-

ble occasions, to offer certain sugges-

tions regardiug matters where im-

provement seenied possible or neces-

sary. In maliy cases the proposais

made in our coluiis have met with

ready approval and have beenl acted

upon withotlt delay. It has seemied

to us that d'e JOURNALthad a high pur-

pose to serve and that it must utter

itself with decisiofi and promptitude

on ai questions of importance. Ac-

cordingiY, we have endeavored to

foliow out our conception of what a

Coilege journal ought to be and have

spoken out unhesitatiflgly, and fear-

lessiy, according to the iight we pos-

sessed, ou ai questions where princi-

pies were involved. If the ti 'me ever

their hands tbrough fear of their fel-

lowvs, so that lie states in a timnid, falter-

ing fashion what sliould have been ut-

tered withi unrestrained vigor, fromi that

time wi11 date its downifall. As soon as it

ceases to be vital, spontafleofis and

free, just so soon will it cease to be

serviceable to the students or to the

University. 1Errors may creep into

Coilege journals as weli as into every

other publication, but any attenlipt at

terrorizinfg those who gratuitously but

conscientiously labor ilu behalf of the

University would be absolutely rumi-

ous to vigorous journalisrn. The

priznary principle and attitude of the

staff for this session has been "abso-lute fearlessuiess of the constituelicv

it served.". We have siot the slight-

est doubt that the new staff will as-

sume the saine attitude throughout

the next volume. Strength lies in

courageous freedomi which sends forth

nothing crippled with the palsy of

fear.We have borne, mucli criticisin but,

on the other hand we have rectived

numerous expressions of the highest

praise for our eflorts to give to our

readers a higli class College journal.

We have received niany letters from

ail parts, telliiig us ini plain words

tha t we have succeeded splendidly in

this. This inay seem like seif-praise

but our purpose lu mnentioning these

facts, is far deeper than that. We may,in this way, point out to the next staff

that college journaiism is not entirely

a thankless task, anid that careful

work is much appreciated, especialiy

by those friends beyond our walls.

This may also serve to show our

friends that their kind encouraging

words are niucli appreciated ; and we

may also add that they are flot oiy

appreciated but are very valuable.


As a staff, we also wish to expressour thanks to the professors in theUniversity, and our friends outside,who have so kindly contrilbuted arti-cles to the JOURNAL this year. Thekeen interest the professors haveshown in the publication lias been agreat stimulus to every member of thestaff. If they fully understood howmucli their interest is valued by theeditors-theyr would not hesitate tomanifest it c n every possible occasion.

Our one regret is, that the studentsthemiselves do not patronize the JOUR-.

NAL better. Every student should bea suliscriber. Every year severalarticles are published, which alone areworth the price of the year's subscrip-tion. We receive very few Excitangesthat give anything like equal valuefor the subscription price. We shouldhave just double the numiber of sub-seribers within the College itself. Vonare loyal to, Queen's ; be loyal to yourown publication which serves Queen'sin a capacity in which nothing else canserve lier. We hope that next yearwill be a banner-year ini the point ofstudent subscribers to the journal.

T HF, preset staff, in this issuebids farewell to the readers of

the JOURNAL. If our work bas metyour needs in any adequate way weshall feel ourselves amply repaid forour labor. That you should haveagreed with everything that we havepublished' would have been most de-plorable as it would have been veryclear proof that we had failed to toucliany phase of our life with force oraccuracy. What we presented ini thesecolumns may flot have met with uni-.versaI favor, but that was scarcely tobe hoped for. Queen's would be adead place if tIhere were ouly one opin-

ion 0o1 any and every topic-that therehave been different views is a signf oflife and ail free and open discussion ofcollege topics is a strong evidence ofhealthy student life. It is to be re-gretted that there are ultra-Queensmenwho find everything at Queen's justwhat it ouglit to be and everythingat other universities mucli inferior.Sonie of our men here are, we fear,afflicted with this rnalady. We wouldraise our final protest against thisbigotry and narrow prejudice. Letus be broad and liberal whatever weare. The really broad mani is toleranteven to bis fellow's narrowness. Weare proud of Queen's, and we ouglitto be ; but we must flot imagine thatshe lias a mnîoopoly af everythingthat is noble and good. Our partingword, then to ail our readers, is butthe definite expression of our wholeattitude throughout the year. and webelieve that we express the prevail-ing. characteristic tone of the mostloyal Queensman when we insist ontaking our place side by side with thebest in Canada or anywhere, while atthe same time we recognize that weare only one among many and by nomeans unique in every feature of ourlife.'

T HF, Convocation this year was agreat success. The crowd was

exceptionally large and except that thegreat mass of the students had gonehome, Grant Hall would have againbeen taxed to its utmost capacity. Asit was every one succeeded in findinga conifortable seat. The behavior ofthe students, as at the Medical Con-vocation, was exemplary. Their in-terruptions were humorous and oppor-tune. The mean joker stayed at homeand as a result the witty interpolations

436

QUEEN'S UNI VERSITY JOURýNAL.43

from the gallery were exceedingly re-

freshing and also thoroughly enjoyed.

We hope that the man of mean spirit

and cruel tongue înay neyer reappear

at any of aur college functions. No

man dislikes a real joke.

Many inen of distinction received

honarary degrees at the Convocation

this spring, but of ail those honored

by the Senate, noa one, in the opinion

of thestùdents, was mare richly de-

serving of distinction than aur fellow-

studeut and teacher Rev. Eber Crum-

my. The prolanged ovation wliich

greeted hini as he rose ta receive his

D.D. degree shawed with decided em-

phasis how campletely Dr. Crumnîy

has won his way inta the hearts of the

studentS and the citizens of Kingston.

T his shows the esteem iii which a

genuine preacher is held. Mr. Crummy

is not one of your nanîby-patnby, milk-

and-water pulpit deinagagues, who,

like the typical pharisee, are mare

auxiaus ta, be seen and praised, than

they are ta bring any genuine uplift

ta their people. Dr. Crummy is a

sincere apostle af the truth, utteriug

fearlessly what is revealed ta him and

refusing ta paralyze his reason -and

conscience by accepting baIns-bains

the eut and dried thearies and doginas

of the past, no matter by whom they

may be dictated. Canada and the

church needs a whole armiy of just

such men and the tribute paid ta Dr.

Cruinmuy by the University and the

studentS was tendered ta hini not be-

cause af mere personal qualities,

though these are inast excellent, but

because he is esteerned. as a genuine

prophet of righteallsness in this land.

The JOIURNAI. hopes Dr. Crummy

may be long spared ta, serve bis coun-

try and lis Master in the noble man-

ner in which he is now serving bath.

,arTUDFNT.S' DAY.W nust not overlook the splen-Wdid success tliat was made of

Students' Day this year. Trhat it was

s0 dedided a success was largely due

ta the labors of a conimittee, chief

among whom was Mr. G. A. Platt.

The response ta their efforts to make

soinething more of this day was very

encouragiflg ai-d should lead the stu-

dents of future years ta put forth even

greater efforts to niake Class Day ane

of the great events in Convocationweek.

The prograin furnished was just

about the righit length. The singin¶g

of the "Vear" parodies formed a very

enjoyable feature of the entertainmentand we wonld suggest that this be

continued in future years. The idea

of a "tea" after the program met

with general approval and a very de-

lightful hour was spent in pleasant

social interCaUrse.Regarding the valedictories we have

nothing ta say in part;cular, but in a

general way it seenis necessary ta, cali

attention ta the fact that valedictories

are jntended ta be farewells rather

than openings ta, make unkind and

bitter criticisnis of professors. Whole-

saine criticism of a general nature is

perfectly legitimtate, but severe per-

sorialities that are of such a nature as

ta injure any individual, should not

be indulged in on Students' Day. If

such specifie criticisin seems necessaryin any departinent in the University-

give it by ail means-but give it by a

letter, signed by the class, (flot t un-

signed for that is cowardiy) that the

defficient one may have an opportunity

ta correct bis errors without being in-

jured in the eyes of the publie. We

think the valedictories should. be con-

tinued but are very decided in aur

437


opinion that ail aspersions shonld be''icut out.'' This is the feeling ot the

best friends of the University both

among the students and the friends of

Q neen's ontside. If nothing good a

be said of a mari, silence -is as power-fnl as thîe bitterest criticisul ou an

occasion where useful mnen are coin-mended.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Fifty.four honrs of exarninations in

an Honor course whîch constitutesrnerely the honor classes required for

an M.A. degree is carrying the exam-

fever a little too far. Students consti-

tutions are not made of iron aud there

is no advantage gained to the student

or the country, by breaking every

ambitions man down before he bas fit-

ted himself to serve it. Honor courses

should be comprehensive and suffi-

cientlydifficult to demand high scho lar-

ship, but the mere examination should

flot be made so severe as to ruin bis

physical strength.

While we are speaking of exans-

we would further raise a protest

against long papers. Long papers

have caused as uîany failuires as hard

ones. Nothing unnerves a student

more effectively than the feeling, that

to make seventy-five per cent., he must

race froin start to finishi with might

and main. Besides this, ail questionson the paper should be of thc saine

value or the studeuts shonld know the

difference. We thiuk the better way

to ,ask minor questions is to group

them into one large question so that

ail the main divisions of the paper will

be equal iii value.

The leading article in this issue is

written by a recent graduate who is

successfully clinîbing to eminence 011

the ladder of journalisi. The article

is well worth a careful perusal for we

think it is a very fair and straiglit-

forward treatuient of one of the serions

questions which our young men have

to face and decide to-day, narnely, the

value of a University course iu the

business of the world. Lt cannot be

ineasured in the coin of the reahn but

must be estiniated according to sorne

higlier standard than that of glitteringgold.

That was a bright idea-requestingthe ladies to remove their hats at Con-

vocation. We feel pleased to note

also that with the exception of a few

stubborn ones of the PIl-show-you type,the ladies graciously acceded to the

requýst. This is a good start and we

hope that at aIl gatherings in Grant

Hall iu the future this saine custom

will be followed ont. Lt is a littie trou-

ble, but a very great advantage to those

who wonld like to see the platform.A flower show is very beautifuil and

enjoyable under certain circunistances

but it is a horrible inconvenience when

it ceaiies between you and a pulpit or

platfor ni.

One of the neodsý of Queeni's to-

day is ani up-to-date list of addres-

ses of gra(luates. In this respect

Queeii's is perhiaps boliiid'some oth-er universities wlio make no londer

professions of college esp>rit de coi-ps.

There is not as close a. connection

between Queen's and many of ber

graduates of a few, years ago as

miglit secm desirable. To remnedy

this statq of affairs the Registrar

is, we undertand, undertaking to

establishi a card index. The success

of this systeni will requiro that each

QUEEN'S UNI VERSITY JOURNA1L.43

graduate be personally responsiblefor the information needed iii order

that thle Registrar may have tho cor-

rect addresses. We wishi to impress

on ail the necessity of correcting

addresses wlîjch are at present

wrongly givon iii the calendar 'and

also of notifyiflg the Registrar when-

ever in the future, a change of ad-

dress iS made.

The -Grant Hall committee is

gratified at the response to the effort

to complete the student's gift. The

matter lias appealed strongly to the

students, many of whom have signed

the subscription blanks, while many

more have expressed a desire to do

80 witliin the next year or two.

Graduates of the past three years

have also been communicated withi

and may be expected to take quite

as active an interest in the move-

ment. Grant Hall will then be iii it's

entirety a Inemorial, from the stu-

dents, of him who was for twenty-five

years the moving spirit of Queen's.

When a student misses getting his

degree through an undoubted ambi-

guity in the Calendar we think 'the

Senate shonld be willing to make

some sort of compromise so that 110

one would be set back for a year in

his work. On the other hand students

should seek f rom the Registrar the

explanatiOn of any and ail doubtful

statements in the Calendar which con-

cern their work.

Througli the error of some one, we

know not Who, the JOURNAL, has re-

ceived nothing for the ladies' columu.

We regret this very mudli, but at the

time of going to press no manuscript

lias been received.

Kingston. We are all very sorry, and

TT£7'7hrI'A' TIAT!VPRSITY JOURNAL.442 V '

I am sure that bis sorrow is not less

than ours.Mr. D. D. McBeau was born in Can-

ada in tlie county of Glengarry, and

lie is still a Canadian i spirit aithougli

doxniciled in another cotintry.

He began bis career as a contractor

upon great works, some of them being

the La Salle St. Tunnel under the

Chicago river, the Nortliern Pacific

Railway, the Croton Aqueduct which

supplies New York City with water,

&c. But Mr. McBean is mare than a

contractor, lie lias become an eminent

engineer. His inost receut and distin-

guislied work, ta whicli lie lias brouglit

the highest powers of lis inventive

and constructive skill, and whicli is at

once the envy and the admiration of

leading engineers froin various coun-

tries, is a new tunnel under the Harlem

river, bujît under most adverse con-

ditions and an hitherto untried princi-

pies of engineering constrction, and

principles whicli are bound ta revolu-

tionize the practice of tunnel making.

Beiieviug that one fuuctionpf a Uni-

ersity is ta recognize noble achieve-

mient, and tbat tliere is as mucli ex-

penditure of sound thought in engi-

neering some great work as there is in

writing a book, I present ta you the

name of Mr. D. D. McBean. as a

worthy recipient of the degree of Doc-

tor df Laws at your bauds.MR. M' BUAN'S R1nPIY.

Mr. McBean sent the foliowing let-

ter whicli Prof. Dupuis read ta the

Convocation.Mr. Cliancellor, Ladies and Gentle-

men :1 t the Senate of this Univer-

sity, and ahl those who have united in

conferring upon me this higb honor.

I feel very grateful ta you ail. I ap-

preciate deepiy the distinction' which

this degree confers, and I realize the

responsibility that it places upon me..

It gives me great pleasure to bave

you learned men decide that my work

is a benefit to my fellowmnen, and

that it merits the degree of Doctor of

Laws. It gives me ail the more plea-

sure because 1 uiyself was born and

and brought Up, as my parents were

before me, in this country in the town-

ship of Lancaster, County of Glen-

garry. It was in this country that 1

took part in my first works of con-

struction-the building of the Grand

Trunk Railway. My occupations have

compelled me ta pass much of my

time ini different localities and in other

countries, but I shall always look ta

Canada as my home. When I came

here I feel that I am coming among

my family and friends, and ta the

place which, I looked upon as home

from my earliest boyhood.1 have neyer feit any lack of confi-

dence in myseif ta grapple with any

difficulty that I ever met with in

building tunnels, which is my special

work iu hife, but I do not feel the same

confidence in addressing an audience;

and I will, therefore, oniy add that I

aiways wish ta be ciassed with the

warmest supporters of the prosperity

of Queen's University.My best wishes ta you all.

Besides Dr. McBean 'four ather

distinguished gentlemen received

QUEEN'S. UNIVERSITY JOURNAL.43

TJ HE sixty-fourth session of thelUniversity has just passed to

its eclipse, leaving many studenthearts in raptures, and a few, we are

sorry to relate, amnid disappointments.After a season of great anxiety and

expectation, lasting at least for three

or four weeks, the nienibers of the

différent faculties are leaving the

Limestofle City, and the seat of theirAima Mater; some, indeed, to return

no more, but to enter the world of

practical life, and shoulder their share

of its responsibility; others, to, return

after the customary vacation to te-

sume the studies whicIý they have

temporarily set aside. We wish thein

ail a pleasant holiday.

Great was the excitenient in Divi-

nity Hall, on Saturday and Monday

afternoons, April the twenty-second and

twenty-fourth respectively, when thelong-waited resuits were finally givenforth. At i.oo p.tn. on the former

day, the long list of degrees in Arts

and Science was posted on the boards,much to the delight of the students,who expected to be. in suspence until

at least 4.00 o'clock. Mutual congra-

tulations were the order of the day,and everyone seemed to be in the best

of spirits.,Excitement was again at a high

pitch on Monday when the resuits

were mnade known, and every candi-

date could read lis dooni. There was

considerable annoyance caused by the

news that the local papers were not

going to publish these resuits for somereason of their own. Many students,before leaving the, city after writing

their last examination, arranged to

have newspapers sent to, thein contain-

ing the naines of the successful candi-dates, and these would have beenniortally disappointed, if the abovenews had been true. Arrangements,bowever, wer e soon miade, and agree-mients reached between the Universityauthorities and the local newspapers,by which. the desired lists were rep)ro-duced in their columns on Tuesday,April the twenty-fifth.

If it would flot be out of order here,the Arts Editor would like to make asuggestion or two concerning.the post-ing of these lists. At present, thenaines of the successful candidates arewritten in order of miert, on separateslips of paper, by the respective pro-fessors, and posted anywhere on largeboards provided for the purpose. Theonly method that can be perceived inthis process of "posting'' is in thefact that separate boards are providedfor Arts, Science and Divinity results.On the Arts pass board, for instance,there are thirty or forty different listswritten ail in different handwriting,and placed almost anywhere on thewhole board. Trhere is always a con-siderable crowd of students gatheredaround these lists trying to find out inwhat classes they were successful.The first difficulty tbey experiencad isin getting close enough to, niake outthe writing, while the next is endea-voring to see where the lists are forwhich they are looking. This methodof posting results is apparently very

unsatisfactory. It would facilitatemiatters immensely, if the lists weretypewritten, for instance, and arrang-

ed in some order,-a junior class on

top, say, with the senior in the saine

subject immediately below. Iu sucha case we would know exactly where

to look to find what we want.

On Sunday aiternoon the graduates,who were present, had the opportunity

of hearing one of the finest Bacca-

laureate sermons ever preached at

Queen's. The Rev. Dr. Crummy, of

Brock St. Methodist Church, who is a

great favorite u ith the students, con-

ducted the service. The subject of

bis address was "The Permanent Ele-

ment in the Resurrection," and he made

it performa the double duty of an

Easter, as well as a Baccalaureate ser-

mon. Lt was only the spiritual idea

in the'Resurrection that was of value

--self-sacrifice or work, as Dr. Crum-

my expressed it, was the secret of our

Saviour's greatness on earth, and it

was only through this that perfect

manhood could be reached. To the

graduates, therefore, hie highly corn-mended it as their future pathway.

The graduating class of this year

will ail join the editor of this columnin ex tending very cordial thanks to

Principal and Mrs. Gordon, for their

kindness in entertaining the members

of the final year, at a pleasant social

gathering on Monday evening, Apriltwenty-fourth. It was one of those

social functions, the memories of

which will remain long in the minds

of those Who met there iii union,probably for the last time. Being

on one of the last evenings iii which,

the graduates would hiave the oppor-tunity of meeting togethier witlh theirbeloved principal, their reminiscen-ces of college life at Queen' s will beail the happier and more pleasont on

account of this circumstance.

Students' Day passed of quietlyas usual, but with more succoss than

in previons years. Three valedic-tories were delivered by representa-

tives of the graduating classes inArts, Science, and Divinity. A pro-gramme was given, consisting ofmusical selections and parodies,which were greatly appreciated, andthe ceremonies of the afternooncame to a pleasant conclusion in an" Asthetic Tea," given in the RedRoom for members of the final year.

Convocation has corne and gone,and( the ordeals for the afternoonwere successfully gone through.Owing to the fact that Easter waspast, there were very few students,oatside of the graduates, in the city,to bring the excitement of the after-noon to the usual pitch. Ail was iii

comparative silence for some time,until a respected member of thegraduating class in Theology, who

was about to " Face the realities oflife," as one of the speakers after-wards expressed it, was ushered intothe hall, and taken to his seat in oneof the;front rows. Cheers greetedhim on every side, and showers ofrice poured forth on him fromntho gallery, Nevertlieless lie wentthrougli ail his trials like a stoic,prepared to accept the inevitable.

The first order of the proceedingswas the presentation of prizes andmedals to the successful candidates,but it was unfortunate that s0 miany

of the recipients of the ' former were

unable to be presiant. Immediatelyafter this, the numerous graduateswere laureated by the Senate. Sev-eral honorary degrees were conferred

on well-deserving men of different

professions. After a short address

by the iRev. Dr., MacRae, the sixty-

fourth session was closed by singing

the niational andiem.


We were glan to see the Rev.W. W. MacLaren, M.A, B.D., waswith us on Wednesday, as chaplainof the day. H1e graduated in Arts in1899, and in Divinity in 1902. Heis now pastor of St. Andrew's Pres-byterian churcli, Picton.

Before closing the co lumns for theyear, we wish to send our heartiestcongratulations to ail the graduates,prizemen, and medallists, whom wemay not see personaliy, but who areby this time enjoying their well-merited success. Our best wishlesfor a pipasant vacation are extendedto ail our fellow-students, whiom we

hope to welcome, in good hea]tb, tothe college halls, again next autu mn.

ALTrHOUQH the Pope's flock basbeen scattered to the four winds

of heaven long before this appears inprint, it seems only proper that weshould be represented in No. 12 of theJOURNAL. as in ail the rest. We be-gan our editorial duties before theDivinities bad re-assembled from. theirvarious spheres of duty and abode dur-ing the summer, and now after a fewshort months they are scattered again.We are tempted to moralize on the ra-

p *dity with whicb our short termn has

passed, and upon what these monthsof work have added to our equlpinentfor the battle of life, but space wilflot permit.

Trhe exanhinatiolis and the pubiisbedresuits niight al.so invite our attention,but words fail before those eloquent

lists already well.knowfl to ail ourreaders. We may say, on behaîf of

the mnembers of the hall, that our

term's work has been a highly suc-

cessful one; our prophecies of lastNoveiber bave been amply fulfilled.Perhaps as Queeni's mnen we aretempted to boast, but we verily believethat we have good reason to congratu-late ourselves and our University onthe work being donc by ber Divinitystudents. Queen's has always beld aproud reputation, we hope and trustthat we bave not lessened, but ratherincreased, it during the session of1904-5 ; if we bave not donc so, thefault seems to be ail our own.,

Tbougb a little late in the day itseemis proper to say a word or twoabout the visit of our recently lauire-ated and distinguised alumnus, Rev.Dr. Kirkpatrick, Master of SelwynCollege, Cam bridge. We were veryfortunate in having several oppor-tunities of bearing Dr. Kirkpatrick,and it goes witbout saying that theywere ail greatiy appreciated. Ourown private littie lecture on, thePsalter before the Hall was a veryscbolarly and able exposition of hisposition on this departient of OldTrestamient study. From bis bookswe already knew that Dr. Kirk-patiidk's general position was rathermore conservative than that wbich isrepresented in our class-work. Butbis theory and arguments relative tothe great problems of the Psalter arevery consistently and ably stated, andwe are very grateful for baving beards0 distinguisbed a scbolar from. the oldland and from one of the most farnousof the great Urniversities of the world.It assuredly widens one's borisons tohear sncb a mnan ou bis owu particularline of study and likewise deepensour interest in olir work. From everypoint of view Dr. Kirkpatrick's visitwas a great success and we are greatly

indebted to him and to those who

arranged the programme for bis short

stay in Kingston.

And now notbing remains but to

say Adieu to our readers and to lay

down the editorial quili with a sigh

haîf of sorrow, haîf of relief. We

have to thank our readers for their

kindness and consideration shown

during the terni. We have been

pleased to know that our labors were

appreciated to somte extent at least.

It bas been a labor of love, but by

no means without its reward.

The JOURNAL. mnst say farewellto those of the graduating class wbo

will not be with us next year. We

wisb them every success and trust

tbey will let us know where tbey are

and wbat tbey are doing. We extend

Our congratuatio'ns to our successful

graduates, B.D. men and winners of

scholarships and to ail the successful

ones. *And to ail wberev'er they may

lie dnring the summer months we

wish the best of success in every way.

And s0 adieu.

W E congratulate the long list of'men who, this year, bave

secured their B.Sc degree. We wii

flot repeat them here since they appear

in another coluu of this journal.

Twenty degrees froni Science Hall

shows how rapidly the mining'and

engineering department is, growing.

We hope that the prosperity of this

department may continue to increase

-that the classes may be larger eacb

year and the work done by Faculty

and students be equally good. Trhe

country needs good, well trained engi-

neers to do the pioneer work in de-

veloping the latent resources of this

great land and to survey and construct

on scientifie principles the great land

and waterwayS of our ever-growiflg

commerce, The stability of the super-

structure always depends on the soli-

dity of the foundations. Science men

have a national duty to, perform as

well as a personal duty to themselves,

in earning a livelihood. Big wages

are ail right but men of strong national

spirit, who are truly patriotic, will flnd

a higher duty in serving this growing

country in the noblest possible way.

Because a man is a scientist do& pot

in any sense mean that lie is without

ideals. He can be as loyal to his coin-

munity and bis country as any hero or

statesman-indeed the highest heroic

qualities are often detnanded from him

in bis work in the wild areas of prairie

and mountain.

We notice that the Faculty in

Science have taken their cue from

their brothers iu Medicine and have

instituted a summer session of indefi-

nite length.Some of the boys decided to remain

over wheni it was discovered that

ladies were to take the places of the

regular staff, but the course lias proved

to be too strictly kindergarten in its

nature and hence unpopular to the

Science nmen.We hope the atmosphere of the En-

gineering Building will not be detri-

mental to the healtb of the chuldren

and we also hope that they will be able

to find a more convenient nursery be-

fore the next session opens.

Trhe members of the final year held

a very successful banquet at the Kes-

446


wick cafè on the evening of GoodFriday.

The year was permanently organîz..ed with Mr. Montgomery as presideutand C. W. Baker secretary, and manyhappy re-unions are looked for ward toin the future.

Mr. Lewis proved a most capableand hospitable host, and the event

will long be remembered by those who

shared in the festivities of the even-ing.

F OR sonie tinie past sigus avepointed towards the admission

of Ottawa College iinto the Intermedi-

April 2oth, in Molntreal, that end was

at last attained. Fromi tinie to tinie

unofficial represenitations have been

made as to their admission on special

termà but the Unian bas always held

out for a strictly student basis ofelegibility, and Ottawa College entersunder the samne conditions as bind theother three clubs., By the terms of

the agreemient she will drop out of the

Quebec union and no teamn bearing

ber naie will be entered in anyleague other than tbe Intercollegiate.

lun the past the three clubs in theI.C.R.F.U. have been financially

enibarassed through having only two

home-.gainles, but their position here

will soon be greatly improved. The

old disadvantage of one club baving a

bye each week bas also been re-

moved. The Intercollegiate League

now bids fair to become one of the

strongest football organizations in the

country.The foilowing schedule was adopt-

ed.by the meeting:

LETTERS TO TUE EDITOR.

Edifor ofJ' Theornl'

T HE sonate last session, beforethe sitting cf tho Arts' court,'

made it known tlîat if the Art&y

the court system bo reformec it

would ho botter if they were abol-

Q ueon's often degenerates from an

instrument to vindicate justice into

into more horse-play te croate amuse-

E'di4oi Queen's Unive, sity J1ournal.-Dear -Sir :The inissionary ad-

dresses some of us have had occasionto hear of late, have reminded us thatin foreign missions at least interest issadly lacking at Queeli's. This lackof iuterest may perhaps be attributed,in some degree, to the fact that foreignmissionary work is looked upon as aneffort to force upon'people withi typesof mind and life differing fron ours, astereotyped religion that once suitedour civilization, but wilich we are 110w

beginning to outgrow. This concep-tion is altogether wrong. Neither ismnissionary work a forcing of our reli-gion upon other peoples, the prosely-tizing spirit is quickly dyiug ont; noris the religion the missionary takeswith hini a stereotyped religion. 0fcourse it was not je sus' desi.re to haveH-is name sounded with a flourish oftrumpets throughout the world. Snclltawdry vainglory is nlot consistentwith His character. He wanted te dogood, to give people something tlîatwould lighten their burdens, and thishe found in -sympathy. But even ifthis was His message, he surely didnot inean that His followers are to go

out and servileiy preach the very doc-trines He preaches and tag His naineon to theni. Imitation is not thehighest praise. Christ wanted His dis-.ciples to go about doing good aud tecarry to others, messages vital withtheir owu experiences, and mission-aries on foreign fields as well aspreachers at home are becoming moreimbued with that spirit. They areless and less engaged in repeatingparrot-like certain phrases that havebeen taught an-d repeated until thespirit iii thent is nearly dead. On thecontrary they are as a whole sincere,earnest men who think they havefounid a message that will help maîî-kiud andi who wish to spread it abroad.Should any think that those now inthe work have not the right message,they should flot therefore deny thevalue of ail înissionary effort, rathershouid they go and carry their ownmessages abroad. The reason whymost preachers preach Christiauity isthat they sincerely believe Christ'smessage to be the most helpful, giveit aniy paie you please, and flot be-cause they are bound down by tradi-tion to glorify a mere namne. Butsurely we at Queen's should flot findfault with the associating of a nainewith a miovement. A bare abstractideal does flot appeal to the averagemani. Lt is when that ideal is foundpulsating in a man like the late Prin-cipal Grant that it fils us with thrillsof enthusiasin. There is a chancethat the nime Giant and the phraseQueen'.s spiril may degenerate, as theixame Che~isi an has unfortunately tosorte extent degenerated, into merefetishes, God forbid!

Every inonth exchanges reach us

froin Canadiau, American and British

colleges. These exchanges like the

institutions they represent are of very

varied types, and to classify and judge

thema iF no easy task. Ho weeer, after

a careful perusal of ahl, our opinion

is that for general excellence our Can-

adian college journals need yield the

palmn to noue. And among these

Acta Victoriana carnies off the prize,

with Me Master Uniuersity journal a

close second. Acta excels in ber arti-

cles of of literary character, sketches,

essays. stories, verse. The McMaster

Journal's stories and sketches are also

good and its local and exchange col-

umns about the most readable we have

seen. Next in order we would place

the Vaisiy, the McGill Outlook and

the Ottawa Univers i/y Review. Both

the Ou/Zoo/i and the Va rs ity keep a

close watch upon college affairs, and

give the news of hall and campus in

fresh and breezy paragraplis. The

Ou/Zoo/i scarcely goes beyond this, but

the Varsity is more ambitious, and

during the year bas published some

excellent sketches and short pieces of

verse. Ifhe Ottawa Review takes itr

self mote seriously. It is somiewhat

inclined to be heavy and staid. Its

strong point is the firm hold it kee s

on the alnmniof the university. From

the west we receive the Manitoba Jour-

nal and- Vox Wesleyana, both pub-

lished in Winnipeg and showing in

forni and inaterial the vigor and rush

of tha prairie capital. Froni the east-

ern colleges several papers visit us.

We mention especially the Mitre and

the Acadia Atiurnaeum, both note-

worthy for the excellence of their edi-

tornal departments. Nor nmust we

forget Al/isonia the historically inclin-

ed magazine f rom Mount Allison

which insists upon addressing us as

Queen' s College journal "Troronto."

IFrom the technical and denomifla-

tional colleges we receive the 0. A. C.

Review with its articles on live stock,

fruit and butter, JHya Yaka, learnedly

discussing root- canals and anialgam fill-

ings, the Nol mai Coilege Mont/i/y with

its psychology and nature study, and

the Pý, esbyterian College journal breath-

ing exegesis and dogina. Last but

by no means least of our Canadian

journals we mention Vox Gollege,

daintiest of college papers, which dis-

eusses in a fresb and crisp way

weigty matters of art, music, poetry

and domestic science.0f our United States exchanges we

value inost highly the Columbia Mont/i-

/y and Notie Dame Schola.stic, the

former for its poetry and short stories,

the latter for its editorial articles and

essays. Then there is the Athenaeum

well known to ail ex-men for the news

it gives of the college world. The

Lantern, too, bas furnished us with

many a clipping during the year.

The Niagara Index is worthy of note

for its historical sketches, also perhaps

for the insufferable humbug and non-

sense of its local columu. Then we

must mention Buff and Blue, with its

careful conscientious ex-man, the Vic-

torian, sarcastic and critical, and Tech

the suggestive newsy tri-weekly f rotn

Boston.From across the Atlan tic we receive

only four papers, the OYfo;7d Maga-

zine, ponderous, ugly, for the most

part unreadable, but with the best

editorial notes we have see in any col-

lege paper; T. C. D. fromn Dublin,

newsy and somnetinles poetical, always

Irish ; the Student, from Edinburgh,

containing excellent articles, and verse

but much given to parody and dry

lokes ; and lastly Glasgow UniversityMagazine, less prentious than the

Student, and more addicted to fictiounand rondeaus.

Purdue has received $i5,ooo from

Recently the presidents and deans

of Ohio Universities and colleges had

a meeting to cons ider the profession-

alisma that exists in their athletics.

They suggested two remedies for the

evil, namely: (i) that no freshman be

allowed to play in any intercollegiate

athietie contest; and (2) that a stu-

dent who leaves one institution and

enters another must spend a year in

the latter before engaging in intercol-

legiate athietie contests.-Athen-aeum.

A PAGAN SEIRINE.

1 know a spot in the far, far East,

A hallowed, sacred spot,

Where the wearing cares of the work-ing world,

Faint-echoink, are forgot.

Stone steps lead up to the Shintoshrine,

The shrine of heathen joss,

And the coolies corne when the dayis done

As Christians to the cross.

They dip worn hands in the rude,

stone fount,And entering, ail unshod,

In the sulent temple, silentlyBow down before their God.

Great warships swinging with the tide,

Small craft scud to and f ro.

Pure balsam to the soul,
