"I make them," he added, "as an alum-- nus of the University of Toronto, not as Leader of any Legislature group, and I do not bind any member of my group to what I am saying. Just let me repeat that if Dr. Cody retains his partisanship it will not be long be-- fore results will show, and it will be an ill day for the university if that ever comes about." The Libsral Leader quoted from various Provincial statutes to show What had Queen's University done, he asked, when it wanted a Principal? "It had," he said, "appointed a com-- mitte2 of fourtecn to cho--se one. They searched Canada and Great Britain before they found one.

From talk around the university at the prosent time and among the undergraduates one cannot help thinking that Cann Cody's ap-- pointment came to him by way of a reward for the services he had rendor-- ed his party." GODY APPOINTMENT AS U.OF T. PRESIDENT DRAWS CRITICISN Conservative Party, participating cpenly in every Provincial election since the war in the interests of that party, William E. N. Sinclair, Op-- position Leader in the Legislature, ex-- pressed the fear yesterday that "a grave injusiice" may have boen done the University cf Toronto and the young pseople there attending in the appointment ¢of Canon Cody to the Presidency of that educational insti-- tution. Claiming that Canon H. J. Cody had always been recognized as a partisan, out--and--out supporter of the was, he said, an Anglicon clergyman of high standing, a gifted orator, a ready after--dinner speaker, but he was "the exact cpprsite of an «education-- ist," being nsithsr a teacher nor pro-- fessor, and having little active con-- tact with education. Morsover, his age was against him. "No P.lace for Politician." "The university Presidency is n: place for a politician," submitted the Liberal Leader. '"It is a position for Sinclair Fears "Grave In-- justice" May Have Been Done Coliege TO HAVE WIDE POWERS Premier, in Reply, Says Dr. Cody Is Distinguished Graduate There was no denying Canon Cody's attainments, said Mr. Sinclair He * Mar ;9. 1J cation, and has frequently been called upon to make recommendations and reports. It was ill befitting, he said, for Mr. Sinclair to suggest that he (Dr. Cody) had been given the posi--= tion because of any political leanings toward any political party. Even when he (Dr. Cody) had sat in the House as a member of the Government, he had held the reputation of holding himself above mere political bias. The Prime Minister reviewed at length the activities of President Cody, from his early days as "freshic"' and lecturer at the university to his ap-- pointment as member of the Board of Governors, to the chairmanship of that body, and, lastly, to the Presidency. '"For he. may be 63 years of age," said Mr. Henry, "but he is in the prime of life." in the hands of some may be per-- fectly safe. In the hands of others it may be dangerous." Premier Replies. At the night sitting of the House! Premier George 3. Henry deliveredt himself of a spirited reply in defense of President Cody. He was surprised, he said, that the Board of Governors' appointment of Canon Cody to the: post he now holds had been question--. ed--surprised, in fact, that the matter ever had been broached. Every one would agree, he felt, that were a slate of the most prominent graduates of the university for the past 100 years| been compiled, Canon Cody's name' would be in the foremost rank of it. It was very fitting, he said, that when | the university looked about for a suc-- cessor to Sir Robert Falconer they had Dr. Cody within reach to take over the onerous duties of the institution.' For the past forty--five years, he said, he has been closely associated with the institution, knows its hiwory from beginning to end, is an enthusi-- astic champion and supporter of edu--
