A Toronto despatch says: Royal Canadian Institute Dr. Bruce Taylor, principal Queen's University, gave an interedt- ing a8 ofl » late Sir Sandiopd Flemi He spoke of his various activities in connection with railroad life in this coumtry, pointing out that his first real extensive job as a constructionist 'was on she Inte oolcnial. He was comer engineer on C.P.R. until 1880, and was greatly in- terested im railway ideas. He furth- er stated that Sir Sandford, who was a Scotchman born in Kirkcaldy, was formerly Chancellor in Queen's Uni- versity, in which ! took so much interest, He referred to the reform of time advocated by Sir Sandford, which would do away with the chang- ng of clocks wifen travelling from east to the west. Among the books he had written were "Time and [ts Notation" and 'Memories on Univers sal Time. On Satufday afternoon Dr. Taylor attenged the annual meeting of the Toronto Alumni Association of Queen's ; University.

Drummond of Shabby Treatment Ia an open letter to Dr. A. 1 | Macalium, C man 'of advisory council for re sh, Ottawa, Dr. A. T. Drummond, Grimsby East, a trustee of Quee University, ex- presses his disappointment over the way Queen's was ignoied in the appointment of the . advisory re- search council He says: "1 do not know who suggested to the Government the names of the dyisory coupcil for research, but surprisdd to find that while it included two McGill men and two "Varsity men, Queen's was alto- gether ignored, and five other gentlemen were added, some uf whom, however skilled in their own departments of work, be said to have previously taken any interest in industrial researci. "Further, when the advisory council announced that special facilities were -to be provided at the universities for the encourage- ment of research work, it wis onca more to McGill and Toronto Uni versities that these facilities were to. be specially given. "In the interests of education, Queen's has always rejoiced in the progress made by the other um- versities of the country, especially by Toronto and MeGill It has had itself to struggle for many years with a very limited revenue, but, in spite of that, has found its place and made its name, and. is now overcoming some of its financial difficuities. In accomplishing all this it has, however, often had to regret the spirit shown to: it by some other institutions which should have been glad to hear of courage and success in a sister in- stitution. "As Queen's is now committed to and directly engaged in research in metallurgy and certain branches of physics, it is suggestive that special laboratories will have to be provided, and that private 'liberai- ity must now be sought for the purpose." | LETTERS 10 HE EDITOR | Mrs, Anson's Explanation. Kingston, March 8th, 1919--(To the Editor): Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to correct a statement made on 4th March? The statement was that I claimed the Royal Military College should pay part of the funeral ex- penses of my late husband, Freder- Fick George Leete Anson. Such is not the case. I never asked for one cent towards it. 1 had every intention of paying the expenses and same would have been paid had I not received orders from the commandant, after he had sent to the undertaker for the bill, informing me the college would look after the setiling of this bill, as they could never do SoH sume ety for his long and faithful servite. 1 also' got ~a~ders 'from the command« ant to stay in quarters and keep the aollege work on.. It also said I did not look for a house, Mr. Bateman, as well as other real estate' agents; can testify that 1 did everything in my power to get a house one month 'before 1 received notice to vacate the coliege' quarters. I received the notice in May. - They also can testify™ as to how and what I had to do in order to get a house.
