Sir Robert Borden Ad dresses Graduates--Hon. W. F. Nickie Was Forcibly Reminded of 4.4 By the Students | Who 8ang a Parody. The eighty-fourth convocation of | Queen's University which took place | on Wednesday afternoon, was an | event which will long be remember- led by the hundreds who were pre- sent on that occasion. Every avall- | able seat in Grant Hall was occupled, | and the convocation was one of the | best on record. The proceedings opened at three o'clock, with the academic proces- | ston, led By the Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Laird Borden, chancellor of the uni- | versity, and Principal R. Bruce Tay- lor. The member: of the trustee board and the staff of the university, | as well 'as representatives of the per- mahent force, ~of the Royal Military Assassssasnss, College and other bodies, occupied ------ places on the platform. The chap- lain of the day was Canon W. F. FitzGerald, rector of St. Paul's church. Dr. R. Bruce Taylor, M.A., D.D., LL.D., who was the first speaker, traced the history of the university from its foundation and told of the part which Queen's men had played in the development of Canada, and other countries. He told of the col- lege, which had a small beginning, and has risen to be one of the most important .seats of learning in the dominion. He also dealt in detail with the suggestion of Premier Fer- guson, who stated that it was the in- tention of the Ontario government to cut down the grants which for some years have been given to Queen's. Honorary s. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon Rev. David Wil- liam Best, pastor of the Bowman- ville Presbyterian church. Dr. Best, who is a graduate of Arts and The- ology of Queen's University, has oc- cupied a big position in connection with the work of the Presbytertan church. Dr. McFayden who intro- duced Mr. Best, referred to his work in connection with the Presbyterian church, and also told of the service which he is rendering in the com- munity where he has lived for some years. The degrees of doctor of laws was conferred upon Hugh Wallace Bryan, principal of the Renfrew Collegiate Institute, who is also a graduate of Queen's University, and Alfred Tennyson De Lury, the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Toronto Univer- sity. . Dr. Taylor, who presented Mr. Bryan for the degree, stated that he had graduated from Queen's in 1893, and during his student life at the university he had a great part to play in connection with the organiza- tion of the student government. For a time he carried on the duties of registrar of the university, which were then taken over by the late G. Y. Chown. Since leaving Queen's he has been principal of the Renfrew Collegiate Institute and all have learned to love him. Dr. W. 8S. Dyde placed the hood upon the new doctor of laws. Principal Taylor, when referring | | to Dean De Lury, stated that he had | graduated from Toronto University {in 1890, the same year as did him- self from Glasgow University, and had accepted a position in his Alma Mater in 1892. He had gradually risen until 1922 when he was ap- pointed dean of the Faculty of Arts, a position which he now holds. Dr. Dyde placed the hood upon the shoulders of Dr. De Lury. Chancellor's Address. The chancellor, the Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Borden, addressed the gradu- ating class, and he impressed upon them many things which will be of vital importance to them in their new life after graduation, when the first time many of them will be thrown up against the world. The degrees were then conferred upon the graduates, many of whom were unable to be present, but never- theless their names were read out and their diplomas will be forwarded them in due course. The M.A. de- grees were the first to be awarded, after which followed B.A.'s, (with honors), and B.A.'s (pass) and bach- elor of commerce. The M.Sc.'s, B.8e,, (with honors), and B.Sc. (pass) were then conferred. Dean Arthur L. Clarke, of the Faculty ot Applied Science, and Dean Matheson of the Faculty of Arts, placed the hoods upon .. the successful candi- dates. The valedictory address was given | by James Andrew Walker, B.A. The {| awarding of the medals, fellowships, i scholarships and prises was thé next | item on the programme, after which | the Hon. W. F. Nickle, attorney-gen- !eral, who fs the chairman of the | trustee board of the university, gave & brief address. When Mr. Nickle was rising the students sang "How Dry We Are." to the amusement of Mr. Nickle, as well as the large gath- ering. "How are you old 4.4," a voice started from the gallery and great laughter followed. In closing the dean said that he saw in the presenting of the honor- ary degree to a member of the Uni- versity of Toronto staff, a fine feel- ing of desire for co-operation among the two colleges, and he was certain that his coDlleagués had the same feeling. Address To Graduates. The Right Honorable® Sir Robert Borden, when rising to address the graduates, assured the audience that he would only take a few minutes to say what was upon his mind. He assured the graduates that he was pleased to be present on such an oc- casion. The young men and women who received their diplomas were standing on the threshhold of active life. He advised the students to continue to hold the Queen's spirit aloft. , In his words of advice, Sir Robert said that they would all meet the "Yady of opportunity," and she would speak in many ways. He told them to get acquainted with the good friend "earnestness." In clos- ing his remarks, the chancellor urg- 'ed upon the members of the gradu- ating class the necessity of taking an interest in public service. He said that our country will only be what our men and women make it. The chancellor told the students to have faith in their country and see that the ideal of civic duty is not found wanting. Valedictory Address. James Andrew Waiker, on behalf of graduating class, spoke a few words of appreciation to the mem- bers of the staff for the interest which they had taken in the stu- dents. Mr. Walker stated that they had been stirring years, as the stu- dents had seen the rugby team rise to the highest point of the rugby world and remain there. He re- ferred to 'Pep' Leadley, one of the graduates who should have been making the speech had he not been so bashful. Mr. Walker referred to the fact that Queen's had been the leader in many advanced education, engineer- ing, mining and medical schemes. He closed his address by assuring the members of the staff of their hearty appreciation for the manner in which they had tried to instruct those young men and women who were given their diplomas. Hon. W. F. Nickle Speaks. The dreary wall of 'Nobody Knows How Dry We Are" from the back of the gallery set the hall laughing as Hon. W. F. Nickle, chairman of the board of trustees, rose to speak at the close of the cere- monies. But the attorney-general came back: "I am glad to see that my remarks at the last Arts' dinner were not wasted. I urged then that the student body take more interest in the pyblic affairs of the country." Mr. Nickle was also honored during the afternoon with a special parody on "Christopher Columbo" and 4.4 beer. Mr. Nickle spoke of the lasting In- fluence that a professor could exert upon his students, illustrating with references to the outstanding men vho taught at Queen's when the Kingston member attended. The speaker said he attended the opening of a new building at West- ern University, London, last year and had been much impressed with the splendid institution that was be- ing built up there. He spoke too of Queen's development, from Principal Grant's daring but wise founding of the Faculty of Science back in the early nineties to the present en- largement of the medical school that was going to mean the expenditure of over a million dollars. He prais- ed the fine spirit of co-operation which existed between the Queen's staff and the administration. OPERA AT NAPANEE. Splendid Production by the Musical and Literary Club.
