THE DAILY BRITISH wHIG, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1914. The valedictories which are includ- ed in the closing exercises of Queen's were delivered by students repre- senting the different faculties, at Convocation hall on Tuesday after- noon. The programme commenced with the science valedictorian, H. P. Baker, who had nothing but praise for the science faculty as a whole. He laid particular emphasis on the mining and civil engineering training although in the latter branch he dis- paraged the attention paid to mech anical engineering. In regard to the mineralogy and geology department Queen's to-day has one equal to that of the foremost science college in America--Columbia university. As the course in science is each year en- larging, the opinion of the graduat- ing year is that it should be extended to five years, following the example of the medical faculty Regarding the military topie, which has been receiving so much attention of late at Queen's, the graduating class is in SIR SANDFORD FLEMING Installed on Wednesday afternoon ac Chancellor of Queen's University fof the thirteenth term He has already served thirty-six years complete favor of its adoption and strongly advises the course at pres- ent outlined. The arts valedictorian, 'W. J. Scott, expressed his regret at the way some of Queen's examinations were conducted in arts and of the addi- tional essays which were asked for in certain subjects at the last month. He thought the time was not far dis- tant when final examinations would be a thing of the past. In regard to the Alma Mater election, Mr. Scott was of the opinion that the present system created too much of an an- tagonistic apirit in the university and that instead of each faculty running men in opposition to the other a sys- tem whereby the. faculties should each nominate two candidates for of- fleers in rotation. The speaker was very enthusiastic over an arts edu- 'ational course and its value in in- creased capacity for intellectual en- Joyment and opening new fields of thought, W. P. Orok, B.A, represented medicine and was very warm in his praise of the medical faculty. The e¢lass this year numbers sixty-nine, and is the largest that has ever grad- dated in medicine at Queen's, He ex- pressed his pleasure at the present catholicity of Queen's in regard to religion. Regarding the present five- year course he regretted that Eng- Hsh had uot been added to the list of subjects. In medicine there is a Tack of teaching material and some remedy should be found to teach the need. The students of the final year regretted the loss of one of their most beloved 'professors, Dr. R. W. Garrett, Mr. Orok expressed, in be- half of the graduates, their thanks fo the people of Kingston for their kindness during their college career. A very good point that the speaker emphasized was the present day necessity of the church and state ald- ng the medical profession in stamp- fug out certain diseases. George Telford represented theol- Ogy and gave an interesting and humorous address. Queen's to-day, he said, possesses the finest theologi- eal course in Canada ande equal to anything in the United States, Miss BE. Wright gave a piano solo and Miss Elmer rendered a vocal solo, THE MAYOR | DOBS NOT NEED Cuspidors In His is Office For His Own Use. fhen newspaper representatives vis- he mavor's office this morning d two bright and new cus- pon the floor, and asked his meaning thereof.
