In view of the great proeeedings at (Queen's University next week, this brief sketch of the institution by Mise Lois Saunders, the college librarian, will be read with interest : Early in 1832 the Presbyterian Sy- nod pressed upon the government the necessity for endowing an instituti or professorships, on lines which should be broad enough to meet the requirements of all classes of the community. This continued to be pressed, until it became evident - that the government could not be moved. The synod being in great need of fa- cilities for training young men for the ministry, at length determined to found a college within its bounds, and in 1838, appointed a commission to solicit subscriptions for ite endow- ment, and to apply for an act of in- corporation to thé provincial legisla- ture. The project met with hearty sup port. Enghusiastio meetings were held in Toronto, where £600 was subscrib- ed on the spot; in Kingston, where £1,700 was subscribed; in Montreal, BRIEF SKETCH GIVEN Of Queen's University Since Its ~ Foundation, Hamilton, Cobourg, and other places, THE VERY REV. D. M. GORDON, Who Guided Its * to, come up had not been notified; mo house had been procured, and the situ- ation was somewhat painful. No time was lost; it was decided to hold a par- tial session; a small frame house on Colborne street was secured; Rev. P. C. Campbell, who had been appointed prok of classics, was d, nd on March 7th, 1842, the first ses- fr of Queen's College opened. \ The First Students. Ren students passed: the matricula- tion examination, the names of these pioneers being George Bell, John Me- Kinnon, Thomas Wardrope, Aeneas McColl, W. Aird Rose, Lachlan Me- Pherson, Robert Wallace, John B. Mo- wat, John Bonner, and H. R. Farn- den, of whom Dr. Wardrope yet re mained and is a trustee of Queen's. The session of 1842-43 began in a stone house on William street, and, in an adjoining house, a preparatory school was opened under the supervi- sion of lessor Campbell. This school, which was an absolute neces- sity in the earlier days, was a most D.D., PRINCIPAL OF QUEEN'S. and £15,000 was reached. This, which was really an astonishing subscrip- tion for those days, gave most encour: aging evidence of the general interest taken in the projected college. ' The provincial act of incorporation, passed on February 10th, 1840, and on May 20th, of that year the trus- tees met, under the chairmanship of she Hon. William Morris. It was then determined to apply for a royal char- ter, which delayed the opening of the institution some months. 'The roval charter was issued on October 16th, 1841, and before the end of that month the colonial committee of the Church of Scotland, who had undertaken the support of the principal of the college, appointed Dr. John Liddell to that of* fice. As in Scotland, they had the idea that all preparationi were complete to begin work, Dr. Liddell, hurriedly ar- ranged his affairs, left his wife and children behind him, sailed for Cana- da, and arrived in Kingston at the end of December. Nothing had been prepared; the few students intending How Iron-ox Tablets Im- proved a London Boy's ealth. {ley 3, Io. Jt a yr first them for We » years er was very cross and had no appetite.

In this second session the staff were: Dr. Liddell, principal, and professor of theology and moral phil- osophy; Rev. P. C. Campbell, profes- sor of classics and belles lettres; and Dr. Williamson, professor of mathema tics and natural philosophy. Dr. Liddell, who was a man of emi- nent ability and great force of charac- ter, was untiring in his efforts to strengthen the position of the college, but there was much discouragement at the outset. He more than once sug sted to the trustees the wisdom of topping the arts course, and when in 1844, the disruption of the Presby- terian Church divided the friends of Queen's, and temporarily lessened her resources, he openly and strongly ad- vocated that policy. The outlook was indeed gloomy; the number of students was reduced from twenty-one to thir- teen, the others having gone to Tor- onto; but "the supporters of Queen's, being none the less full of confidence for the future, would not hear of the change. Thus, in 1846, Dr. Liddell re- signed and returned to Scotland. Pro fessor Campbell had reigned in 1845, and returned to Scotland also, where he afterwards became professor of Greek, and later principal in Aber- deen University. ' Other Principals. In 1849 the principalship was again offered to, and accepted by Dr. Lid- | dell, but he withdrew his acceptance, and became a parish minister. After Dr. Liddell's withdrawal, Rev. Dr. Ma- char, of Kingston, accepted an inter- im appointment as principal, which he held until 1853, lecturing also in di- vinity and Hebrew; but the duties of his pastoral charge did not admit of his retaining the position 'permanent- lv. His hich character and wide influ ence were exceedingly helpful to the in- terest of the college. Dr. Machar was temporarily succeeded hy Dr. George, then professor of systematic theolo and, afterwards, of mental and moral philosophy. He was a mighty force with his students, and is still remem- bered by one of them as "the most stimulating thinker I have ever known, and a very eloguent speaker." After him came Dr. Cook, of Quebec, as in- terim principal. He was offered the permanent position, and it had been was a forceful and highly well for Queen's if had accented, for he in the position in which he preferred to remain. The other professors on the staff in Se ee as Pe) acting 'biblical criticism, a man He ee in the educational annals of Eastern Ontario; and Mr. Romanes, professor of classics and moral philosophy. Mr, Romanes was succeeded by Mal colm Smith, who became, a little lat- er, professor of church history and biblical criticin. He was drowned while on a visit to Scotland. Chairs And Occupants. pe: Classical chair has been very str ly ohh beginning down to the pp. Mr. Weir, who succeeded Mr. Smith, was a moat accomplished scholar, the beau ideal as a 'teacher. After him came Kev. John McKerras, the students' friend; and "man greatly beloved," who gave his life for Queen's in the day of her dire need. He was succeed ed by Mr. Fletcher, now of University College, Toronto. In his day, the chair was divided, and Mr, Macnaughton became professor of Greek; both of them were adored by their students. Mr. Fletcher was succeeded Mr. Glover, now Sf. John's College, Cam- bridge, and Mr. Pike is now the pro- fessor. The same strong -occupancy has ked the sion in the chair of philosophy. Dr. George, who has been already spoken of, was strong, origi- nal, and brilliant. He was succeeded by Dr. J. C. Murray, now of McGill, a man of culture, and an exceedingly successful teacher. After him came Dr. John Watson, one of the world's stron, men in this nt, ran along with Green and Caird. Ic 1889, the chair was divided, and Dr. Dyde, a pupil of Professor Watson, is his colleague, in mental philoso phy. Al, through these years, and on- ward, moved Professor Williamson, teaching at some period in every de- partment, and fitted by his broad scholarship to hold his own in any of them. He spent his life in the service of Queen's, loving her as a father does his child, and, to the end, the simple- minded, grand old man had the warp: est place in the affections of her gra- duates and st First Permanent Home. The college long remained without a permanent home, but, in 1854, the house and grounds on which the pres- ent college buildings stand were pur- chased, all classes being held there un- til 1508, when a large building was constructed in the rear, in which the medical classes met, and part of which was a convocation hall. I'he arts and divinity classes continued to use the old bulding until 1869, when the me- dical faculty removed to a builliag in the city. Then their quarters were used by the arts -and divinity faculties, whilst the old building was into idences for the professors. This arrangement continued until 1880 when a new arts building, with libra ry, museum, and convocation hall, was occupied. The medical classes then returned to their former quarters, where they still remain, the building itself having much enlarged and im- proved. In 1860, Dr. Cook, Dr. Barclay, and A. Morris, in conference with the col onial committee of the Church of Scot- land, selected as principal Rev. Dr. Leitch, of Monimail, a close friend of Dr. Norman Mcleod, and a truly re- markable man, nized throughout Scotland as a distinguished astrono- mer, and an eminent theologian. He took great interest in the Kingston observatory, which through his ef- forts, was transferred to Queen's, be- ing subsequently directed by Dr. Wil- liamson and Professor Dupuis. Unfor- tunately, Dr. Leitch entered upon his duties amidst internal troublés, which required the utmost skill and wisdom to allay. His position was, therefore, beset throughout by harrassing anxie- tier and misunderstandings. His health faded and he died of heart dis ease in May, 16864. In 1859-60 the Alma Mater Society began a career, throughout which it has played no small part in the stu dent life of the university. It has its officers and regular meetings, and, en- couraged by the senate, much of the government of the students is carried on by themselves, through the medium of this society. In 1860-61 the law fa- "ulty was established under the guid: ance of Sir Alexander Campbell, and has maintained a fitful and somewhat nominal existence ever since. Principal Snodgrass. Dr. Leitch was swoceeded in 1864 by Rev. Dr. William Snodgrass, then of St. Paul's church, Montreal. He came to the heritage of difficulty that short- ened his o r's life, but was set. He was a man of caution and of far-seeing judgment, and though, at first, he had not the unanimous sup port of his co-workers, and had to meet determined opposition from in- fluential men at the trustee board and : in the synod, he speedily piloted Queen's into calm waters. Scarcely had he accomplished this, when the storm burst in another direction.

The work was very ar duous. It was a house to-house visi- tation that crowned i. with success. 'the hardships and fatigues to which it was sowed the seeds of the idoess which, afterwards, proved fatal to Prof. Mcherras, and even the ro bust health of Dr. Snodgrass was strained by the long campnign. In Dr. Snodgrass s principalship the germs of much of the later extension, which went on under Dr. Grant are to be found. The higher education of women, especially, may be noted in this connection. Dr. Murray opened classes for them in English in 1870, his example followed by other professors, although the academic course leading to a degree was not opened to women until 1375-79, In 1872, the Alma Mater Society launched the college journal, which has since peavey Rapt on its way, and has admirably fullilled its purpose as a medium of student opinion, and as a chronicler of college events. The union of Presbyterian churches, in 1875, had an important bearing on the future jof Queen's. She was to stand in ilar relations to the Pres bytéfian Church in Canada to those which she had formerly held to the CHurch of Scotland in Canada. But heh trustees became a self-perpetua- ting body and have moulded her de stinies on the broadest and most un- denominational lines. Changes were made in the constitution, providing for a university council, and for a chancellor and five additional trustees who are elected by the council These five have almost always been chosen from outside the Presbyterian church. The first chancellor of Queen's was Dr. Cook, her former principal, and the first moderator of the United He was succeeded by Mr. Fleming now Sir Sandford Fleming, K.C.M.G.,, who is unanimously re elected every three years, for he loves Queen's well, and Queen's,as, indeed, all Canada recogmizes the worth of the man and his eminence as a scien: tist. In 1877, Principal Snodgrass, fore seeing that there must be another ap peal for funds, and knowing that his impaired health would not stend the strain of such an effort, showed his greatness by resigning, and his clear sightedness by pointing out, the one man for the position, saying, "'Get Grant, for 1 am sure he will do all that I should like to do, but can not." Coming Of Principal Grant. Rev. George Munro Grant, then of Halifax, thus became principal, en tering upon his work in December, 1877. His predecessor had laid the foundations well, and he built upon them with the genius of a master. He was a born rs who gathered round him, from the outset, a band of coworkers, who never failed to lend a generous support to all his plans, but he himself was the great worker, and gave his very best thought and effort for the advance ment of Queen's. Ife undertook the second appeal for endowment, which Dr, 8 ass had foreseen as neces sary. By 1581 he had the new building, an enlarged staf, a §ront increase in students, with all things working in harmony. Queen's was dly on the up-grade from that period. Again, in 1587, another effort was planned, wher it was determined to raise $250,000, to be called, in honor of the Queen's Jubilee. "The Queen's Jubilee Fund." This was accom plished in little more than six months but the principal's health being broken, he had to take rest. He tra velled some months, circled theeglobe in doing so, and then came bar to his post with renewed vigor, More professorships were instituted, and in every way the college advanced with rapid strides. Federation at Toronto was proposed about this time, but he and the friends of Queen's bad learm- ed to think of her as having her place at Kingston, with her position secur- ed as one of our national universi: ties; so there was po removal, and events have justified that decision. Affiliations. £452, in 1842, and which had, from time to time been increased until it reached £5,000 a year, was withdrawn.

It continued for several years, but, on account of similar facilities ofiered at Toromto and efse- where, it was closed in 1504. As the result of a donation the "Carruthers Science Hall" was open ed in 1891, with increased facilities, through laboratories and such like, for scientific training. The university soon instituted a faculty of practical science, of which the dean is Prof. N. F. Dupuis, a man of such varied ac complishments as have made him one emp pillars of Queen's, whilst his respected in the scientific world.

Paris, Oct. 10.--How swiftly even the most famous of men pass from the public mind when they are no longer in the limelight is evidenced by the fact that very few if any one noticed the anniversary to-day of Mr. Krug- er, former president of the Transvaal republic, whereas, the same but one or two years ago, was mark- ed by public demonstrations and a flood of congratulatory messages, Mr. Kruger was born October 10th, 1825, and consequently this is his seventy- eighth birthday. - He is living very quietly at his villa in the south of France. For a while his place was the Mecca for Boer leaders and for French- men and others who desired to show their sympathy for England's fallen enemy, but of late Mr. Kruger has re- ceived very few callers. He has never fully recovered from the shock of his wife's death and the mostof his time is spent in reading the Bible and in reverie. STRANGE BEQUEST.
