But on April 20th, the ok trouble returned, and ever since he was confined to his bed. An opera tion was performed by Drs.

The doctors had then given up all hope. but the oper: ation was successful, and the principal improved Two whole days having passed, it was thoweht he would at least temporarily recover, anal live perhaps for some time. But great chunge took place this morning. The Last Hours. The story of the last hours is tokd in this official statement issued at noon, by Drs.

Surrounding the® death-bod were his son William LL. his sister-in-law, Mrs. Field, his niece, Miss Jessie Field, the doctors and his faithful old ser vant, Janet. The end was silently and tearfully awaited, and at eleven o'elod. the Kindly heart had ceased to bent. Fifteen minutes later, the union jack flouted at hall-mast over the uni versity tower, announcing to the peo ple in the south-western part of the city that the great life had ended. Flags were also half masted on the city buildings, general * hospital, Whig building, Golden Lion block, St. Ane drew's ehurch, Livingston Bros'. store, the locomotive works, and many other places. --------- [) A Great Man Departed. A great mau has gone, and long will it be before another arises to take his place, for principal Grant wad a man so many-sided and versa tile. He was a statesman, a preacher, a teacher, and aman of business, all combined, and it is doubtful if there was his equal in America. Principal Grant wore himself out for Queen's. He seldom rested, and though of & wiry, and athletic frame, his constitution could not stand the terrible strain. He has passed away in the twenty-fifth year of his prin- gipalship of Queen's, ere this jubilee could be fitly celebrated hy the lay- ing of the corner stor of Grant con vocation hall next autumn. That ev ent will still take place, but it will be a4 memorial ocoasion. The principal's last pulpit and plat form uiterance was on Sonday after noon. April 27th, when he conducted the devotions previous to the bacca laureate sermon. He read the fifth chapter of - first Thesealonians, and lingered on the words of that serip- tare, There was an impressiveness in his peayér, which those who . will always remember. He threw an atmosphere of reverence Over the con: pe tion of worshippers, and lifted them from their surroundings. All eyes were upon him, and close atten: tion upon his words. Last autumn principal Grant i and bad a. . did not fear the fu- faith was strong.

Queen's senate, university coungil and true tees meet on Monday, PRINCIPAL GRANT. The event to which a series of sad have pointed, the event which was hoped and prayed against, has happened, ti death of Principal Grant. His fall, in a sickness which had its many and painful flactuations, as he was returning from England, on busi- ness for an institution with which bis name must ever and inseparably be connected, come as a shock to the wholé community, and its effects have lingered during all these weeks, with fhe fading lite of this great man. It is over twenty-five years, but it seems as yesterday, since Pr. Grant came to Kingston, in the very prime of manhood, and entered upon his busy career. His was a new influence in the college, in the church, and in the community, for his unselfishhess was ax varisd as hig talents, and it touched every local centre of social, christian and college life. His motto was "I serve' and everything he pot his hand to vibrated with his en ergy. 2 The Whig. in this edition, contains a sketch of his remarkable life. It is all too brief to embrace a complete re capitulation of his achievements. It is enough, however, to show how con- secrated he was to all that commend ed itself to his judgment, and how de voted he was to every interest which enlisted hig attention. In the biogra phy of every distinguished man there ie a noble inspiration, and the dents of Queen's, those especially who stu have known the man, who have come into contact with him, who felt the magnetism of his personality, mast do hint and themselves the honour of perpetuating his work. It is said that mien. duplicate themselves in others, that the student, sitting at the feet of the teacher, takes in more than his ripe scholarship. He breathes the spirit of his superior ond mani in fests it, sometimes unconsciously, in words and works. ' No man, however great, reaches his own idesls, Dr. Grant had ever be- fore him the ambition to add to his accomplishments. He failed in some of his plans, but he was ever aimibg at higher and greater things, and ad voeated them with 'a candour and a courage which even these who differed with him were bound to acknowledge; away when perhaps Queen's need him the and he Kingston and passes most, On yonder plot of many acres, whose surface with buildings, some finished and some in Process of of his la sacrifices, ie covered erection, monuments botirs, his his and they, and the halls vet erveted, will perpetuate a life anc an rank with the best Canadian history.

His singular devotion to Joe great seat of learning is beautifully described in that hymn on the unity and defence of the church : For her my wars shall fall, For ber my provers sso, To ber my cares and tolls be given Till toils aod cares shall 3 ft was no sinecure that was offered him, in 1877,. and considerations of wrsonal happiness and comfort would Ps led him to decline the call. But the university bad urgent ) such a man to take t helm, and he could not refuse what he iclt a call of duty. The institution was passing through a financial crisis, and it was nnperatively necessary that it should be at once placed om & secure basis, with a more satisfactory equipment. Principal Grant threw himsell into his now work with characteristic energy, and his great talent for organization and comprehensive plans, soon made itseli felt. It is mainly due to his counsels and efforts that the univers ity has been able to lengthen her cords and strengthen her stakes, a8 in the last ten years she bas done. His eloquence stirred up the city of King- ston to provide a beautiful and com- modions building to replace her form- er cramped inconvenient habita- tion, and again in 1900, the citizens responded. with alacrity to his request, and gave him a new arts building. k Principal Grant deprecated extreme loft, at a centralization, ss nartowing the scope | never of education for the many, even though raising ' its standard for the jew. He held that for Canada, as for Scotland and the United States, sever wl distinct universities, each with its own individuality and esprit de corps, would prove most useful in the end; and that Queen's university, for the good work she bad dots and the high position she had maintained, deserved to preserve her continuous historic life. Heartily endorsed in this posi- tion by the trustees and graduates of the university, he set himseli vigor- ously to the task of raising by volun- tury subscription such an endowment as should give it an assured pokition for the future, in the face of the growing needs of higher education in Canada. Probably no other man would have dared such a task, but he was eminently successful. at different periods raising pearly a half million dollars, ana so ensuring Queen's con tinuance at Kingston. When principal Grant came to- Kingston, Queen's classes were held 'in the 'present resi- dences on the college grounds, and the number of students was less than 100. 3 ials it is ourselves, above all lav spoke or questions Principal in affairs fin a of ation this; for since, the best sought. dom and buildings How well university he wished onies to Grant pie scale, as so several His Preaching And Teaching. As a preacher, principal Grant was marked by simplicity, divectness, earn- estness and force. For rhetorical and finishea periods' he had no admira- tion, but aimed instead at the direct conversational style; for which he had the highest of all examples. But even in this simple style, he rose to the height of eloynence, ana never failed to command the earnest attention of an audience or a congregation. o was not afraia of plain speaking, and always 'appealed to heart ana con: sciencg,. aiming at producing perman- ent conviction rpther than temporary excitement, He was always on the side of the generous and unselfish policy, as against that of mere expe diency, and he sought to uphold the pursuit of a noble idea as infinitely better than that of mere material suc- cess. Many there are who owe to him their perception of thie truth, and some measure of inspiration from his enforcement of it, and from ex- ample of a noble and unselfish life. In his addresses to the students he continually warned them to distin- guish the éxternal from the internal; the transitory from the permanent. Speaking on his return from Scotland on November 2)st, 1599, after a bril liant reception, he said : "It is be cause Queen's has had the ideal of in ternal wealth before her that she has become great, and it was for that reason that | gladly came here twen- tv-two years ago and decided to de- vote my lile towards furthering that end. - For every sacrifice 1 have made, 1 have been a thousand fold repaid. Nothing great can be done hy a single effort. You must give your whole life of endurance, effort and sacrifice to the work.
