The annual meeting of Queen's | University Council was held fa the | Red Room, Kingston Hall, Tuesday | afternoon. Interesting reports were | received from the Deans of the Fac- ulties of Medicine, Arts gnd Science, concerning the work of the various faculties. The report presented of Mrs. John Macgillivray of Queen's Alumnae Association shows that the associa- tion is as active and enf®rgetic as ever. The association decided some years ago on the erection of a resi- dence for woman students and as the result of its energetic campaign for funds, a sufficient amount was rea- lized to warrant the commencement of building operations this spring. Money is still needed, however, to complete the building fund and fur- nish the building, and contributions will be thankfully received by the association. Hon. Mr. Justice Mowat and Mr. J. A. Minnes were elected as repre- sentatives of the University Council on the Board of Trustees, each to serve a term of three years. Prof. W. T. MacClement reported on the work being done to beautily "the university grounds and was thanked for the invaluable service he has rendered as chairman of the grounds committee. A discussion on the present needs of the university and the consensus of opinion was that the most press- ing need at the present time, is an increase in the endowment of the university te provide a yearly income sufficient to carry on the work in the, most efficient manner. » ~ ® committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the installation of Sir Robert Bor- den as chancellor of the university at the fall convocation.

Ottawa to Take Action to Rid City of Increasing { Nuisance. In view of the action takem by the Kingston city council to rid the city parks of crows and blackbirds which are destroying the song birds, the fol- lowing from the Ottawa Citizen: will be read with interest: "A number of local sportsmen have joined in the movement to limit the number of crows, and-the question of organizing the gunners of this locality to more effectually handle the matter of control of the increasing flocks of crows is being discussed. "Game wardens of some forty states have written letters or telegraphed: to the committee of sportsmen at Wil- mington, Del, in charge of the. crow shooting campaign, describing the de- predations of the common black crow, and telling of efforts being made in the several commonwealths to reduce the number of marauding birds. "Seth E. Gordon, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Fish and Game Commission, declares that "it had been conservatively estimated that more than half the game reared each year is destroyed by vermin of various kinds." Mr. Gordon predicts that game will decrease within the next twenty-five years unless vermin is controlled. "Further, Mr. Gordon adds: "Our agents throughout Pennsylvania re- port common crow very destructive to eggs and young of game and useful birds. Adult rabbits, liberated for stocking purposes, are frequently killed by crows." Reports from sportsmen, farmers, bird lovers, poultry raisers and sheep men in every section of the country charge the crow with offences includ- ing the killing of fledging game, insec= tivorous and song birds, raids on corn fields, the theft of young fowl.and the picking out of the eyes of limbs. The damage done by the crow has been estimated to be up to $200,000,000 annually: _ Concerted efforts to control the crow menace by destroying the nests and eggs or young of the crow, as well as the old birds, are being put forth by thousands of sportsnien who foresee in the unrestricted ravages of the crow the virtual extermnation of the rarer kinds of upland game birds and certain water fowl. "Spare the crow and spoil sport" is the crux of the situatior in the con- sidered opinion of a nunber of noted ornithologists and many experienced sportsmen who have devoted years to the study of the destrictive work of the crow.
