Students Come From Every Part of the World to Study Here, 3, All Leave With a Sincere Liking for Kingston as Well as a Deep and Life-Long Loyalty to Their Alma Mater. Many Have Gone To the War, Carrying Their Loyalty Into a Wider Field.. There is a story told of an American visitor to one of the two his- toric English universities, which, as everyone knows, date back for a great number of centuries. The American was greatly struck by the beautiful smoothness of the lawns and asked a gardener how it was obtained. "Why," said the worthy, scratching his head, 'we just rolls it and rolls it and rolls it for a thousand years or so and it comes that way.' The grounds of Kingston's University, better known as Queen's, have not yet attained the smoothness of a thousand years' rolling. The institution was founded in 1841, largely as a protest against sec- _ tarianism, and it has retained its undenominational character ever since. The ten students, with which the college started, had grown, at the beginning of the war, to nearly two thousand. The teaching staff of two is now about a hundred. . As for the 'small house in Col- borfie street in which Queen's was inaugurated," it is quite unneces- sary to draw any comparisons with the present. The new College started in a very modest way financially. To- ronto subscribed $3,000, Kingston $8,500. In Montreal, Hamilton, and other cities, funds amounting to about $75,000 were raised. The whole endowment was probably less than $100,000. In 1868, when the institution was beginning to feel safe, a double disaster fell upon it. The Government grant was withdrawn and in the same year the resources of the College were still further depleted by the failure of the Commercial Bank. * The friends of higher education in Upper Canada did not desert their protege. A further $100,000 was raised, and ten years later a similar amount. In 1887 there was a special appeal made under the title of a "Jubilee Fund," which brought the endowment to $450,- 000. Buildings also were provided with splendid generosity. King- ston and its citizens gave the Theological Building, the John Carruth- ers Science Hall and the Kingston Building for Arts, in 1880, 1891 and 1900 respectively. The Ontario :Government presented the | buildings ini which the School of Mining and the Medical Faculty are | housed, and the students and their friends expressed their loyalty by | the gift of Grant Hall and the Gymnasium. ar So it has always been. The list recited above is not complete, but it shows the fine spirit that has accompanied each successive stage ind inthe growth of Queen's. The enthusiasm of the students, post and a I and o present, has been paralleled by the generosity of their frien the general public all over Ontario and in other provinces as well. Queen's is located at Kingston and the majority of its students come from Ontario, but it has many outsiders. They come from the neighboring provinces of Quebec and Manitaba, and they also come: from as far east as Nova Scotia and as far west as British Columbia. Every province of Canada is represented on the college roll. Ottawa and Toronto and Montreal have each sent their quota. There are some from Newfoundland and others from New York and from Mex- ico, and the British West Indies. England, Ireland and Scotland are all represented. And even from s far-distant and different coun- tries as Turkey and New South Wales there have come students to Queen 8. & A recent booklet issued by the College comments favorably ona humorous saying in a students' song to the effect that "Queen' sis quite unique." For the matter of that, all colleges are unique in the sense that each has its own individ The individuality of Queen's is an emphatic one and vidugiiy. It could scarcely be other- wise in view of the circumstances er which the college was foun- ded. It represented a spirit of revolt "against what was felt to be an intolerable state of affairs, what some famous writer once called * noble discontent.". A spirit of this kind persists for a long time. The bitterness has all disappeared but the spirit of independence survives to impress itself upon each generation of students. The buildings in which Queen's is housed may lack the stateliness of some universities, Canadian or otherwise, but they are fine build: ings for all that.
