» THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG ENGINEERING SOCIETY OF QUEEN'S DINNER George A. Walkem and George ©. Mackenzie Were the . Chief Speakers. That Captain John Donnelly of this eity was ome of the very first | students in what is now the Faculty of Applied Science at Queen's Uni-| versity, then the class in practical | mining, was brought out by Geo. A. Walkem, president of the Engineer- ing Institute of Canada, speaking at the twenty-fifth annual dinner of the Fngineering Soclety of Queen's Uni- versity 'on Wednesday night. The speeches and entertainment were of a very high order and the cusine was quite in keeping with the other fea- tures of thé programme. Mr. BE. O. Morgan, président of the Engineers ing Sociéty of the University, pre- sided and another distinguished guest present in addition to 'Mr. Walkem was George C. Mackenzie, secretary of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy of Canada. Information as to their chosen profession and advice for their guid- ancé when they should graduate, was the theme of most of the talk ad- dressed to the students. Some start- Hng figures were quoted by a num- ber of the speakers to show that only about 33 per cent. of-those who re- gister in the selence course ever graduate and of the number who did graduate that only 25 per cent. were engaged In engineering aftér a per- fod of ten years. The students were advised, however, not to worry un- duly about the statistics bechuse in the engineering course they were getting a thorough training which would fit them for almost any phase of life. The toast to "The University" was proposed by D. R. MacLeod who called on the gathering to drink to the best there was in education not only in Canada but in the world. Principal R. Bruce Taylor respond- ing stated that thé University by a grant of $100,000 'had made the Students" Union a possibility and he asked the co-operation of the sclence students in bringing to a successful John McKay, Ltd.

Dr. Taylor said that the principal need for more oney was so that the University ould afford to pay better sglaries to the professors. It was too great a strain to put on men's loyalty to Queen's to ask thém toiremain when other universities were making bet- ter offers, he said. "Drink to 'the' faculty of the Uni- versity," said G. F. MacDonnell, pro- posing the toast to "The Faculty." "Only 38 per cent. of the fresh- men in all the engineering schools 61 the continent' gridudte with their class," said Dean "AinL. Clark, -re- sponding to this toast. Dean Clark gave the students much" information as to the work that the Society for the Promotion of Engineering BEdu- cation was doing. The above figures guoted by him were frem the investi- gations of this society. For Queen's the percentages were slightly higher ~-38 per cent. for the period from 1900 and since the war this had risen to 40 per cent. A 'student cost $450 a year to educate and paid $150 for this ser- vice, said Dean Clark, therefore at the end of his college course he was indebted to the University $1,200. He expressed 'the hope that the graduates would 4t some time return this sum to théir Alma Mater. "Engineering students are the true {dealists of university life," he said. "The future of engineering must be coupled with increased 'love 'of beauty 'which will find expression in permanent structures that stand as monuments to the honesty and high endeavor of their builders." % In connection with the Chicago drainage scheme, G. C. Mackensie, secretary of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy of Canada and a Science '03 graduate of Queen's, Ty "Kingston's Famous Fur Store" EAPLY SPRING HATS at the right price Parisian Shop 822 BROCK STREET said that they didn't know all that they thought they did in Chicago. He quoted Dr. Bruce of Queen's Uni- versity as the authority for declaring unpracticable the plan for damming the Albany and severak other rivers and thus forming a big lake which would feed into Lake Superior and supply the water that the Chicago Cangl was draining away. "You will ind when you get out that you will have te look after your: selves to a certain extent," he said, speaking to the students, "and don't believe all that the faculty tell you in saying good-bye. You will have to learn for yourselves. If you want to forge ahead and advertise your- self, you've got to write. Also you must mix. Get to know the men in your own profession for that's your bread and butter." R. W. Dryborough extended the official welcome to the guests on be- halt of the Engineering Society. In responding to/the toast to "Our Guests," George A. Walkem, an old Kingstonian and a member of the legislature of British Columbia also a part-time member 8f tie taculkty of the University. of British Columbia, traced the history of scientific knowl edge from the earliest times. He spoke of' such 'wonderful engineer- ing accomplishments as the pyramids and he endeavored to give the stud- ents a glimpse of the labor of the men in the early ages who had work- ed out scientific problems and had made possible a course in applied science. He made the prediction that in ten years' time only 25 per cent. of the men who graduated in engineer- ing would be working at their pro- fession. He looked on this condi- tion as one eminently to be desired because he thought that the scienti- fic training which the students were getting would better fit them for a commercial life than any training which a commercial course could give. : J. N.-Anderson proposed the toast to the "Sister Universities" and W. HORSE NOW USED. Snowstorm. Ardoch, Feb. 10.--Pike fishing through the ice on Malcolm Lake is 'being indulged in.
