I have seen | the graduates leave the Institution { with an affection for their Alma Ma- ter unsurpassed and rarely equalled {in any Canadian educational institu. { tion, and I have observed the thor- oughness which has permeated all | branches of the college and has | made a Queen's man a much sought- after adjunct in the professional and industrial life of this county. There is. too, an additional plea- sare | in being associated with the need and value of university train- ing is being appreciated as never be- fore. Serious economic and social prob- lems confront us today in trade, in- dustry and finance and the sciences, and trained minds aré needed to deal with them, Economic stability, com- mercial development 'and thrift are needed if Canada Is to reap its full share of the world's prosperity and in its accomplishment waste and extra- vagance, state socialism and all that it implies can play no good or great part. ' In no country that I know of is there the same equality of epportu- nity as in Canada. Blest as we are with natural resources of almost un- limited wealth, the future of Canada is one that we may look forward to with confidence, and in its develop- ment later, as well as now, the traln- ed mind of the college man is a na- tional asset. He has the basis of a liberal education, a firm grasp of fundamentals, and a mind taught to think straight, He is impressed with the necessity of complete and accur- 'ate information before coming to a conclusion. He must weigh heavily in the councils of the nation. and be should and will play his full part in the solution of the difficult problems which confront us. Now, more than ever, are Universities growing in re- sponse to the needs of the people, and so it is that the universities are. be- ing recognized in their full import- ance as the producers of trained men, It is a fact, too, that the universi- { ties. while the seats of learning and of necessity the infellectual centres of the nation, are rapidly taking the functions of public service imstitu- tions, in that they help to supply to the young men and women of this country, in addition to the ideals and 3 prevails | | decessors in office. He pointed out { that the unive-sity has now no re- | lationship to the Presbyterian or any | other church; but, waile this is tech- | nieally the case, it tradition has been! | established, and it will be many a | day before the University ceases to | cherish its relationship to the Scot- tish system of church polity, and to forget that it was founded upon the pattern of a Scottish University. "Today," said Principal Taylor, { "Queen's is beginning a new chapter, { Dr. Douglas is being followed as chancellor by Mr. Beatty, who, stil] | in his youth, has reached, by the] pathway of an academic and profes- | sional career, the greatest executive | position that industry has anywhere | to offer.

'created dy the labours of others. 1 could not wish any better thing for either 'of us than that, a generation hence, it might be said that we had | done for this university in our own | way and under these new conditions, | what our predecessors in office had | been able to achieve.

These are great | days in which to be alive: We have | emerged from the tragedy and the | sombre splendour of the years gf | war, and have entered upon the hope | and stir of the building of a new world." i i Dr. Taylor asked, What are we | trying to do With 'an' édiication? He | whole matter is that the universities | in Canada have not yet succeeded in creating any very distinctive type of character. In so far as the thing has been dome Queen's thinks it has had its share of success. There is much to be sald for the university situated in a small town. But the seats of learn in in Canada have not yet gained the place that is their due in pablic life. The proportion of men and women who pass through the universities in! this country is far greater than ii is in England, but somehow or other within a few years of leaving the university this material is absorbed in business or professional life, and 80 far as the real administration of | the country is concerned it hardly counts.
