Kirkpatrick, execu- tive committee. That the University now cost $500,000 a year to rum; that the revenue just balanced the expendi- ture; that the expenses were rising rapidly, and that there was no like- lybood of any increase in the rev- enue, were some of the reasons given by Dr. R. Bruce Taylor for the in- stituting of an Endowment Cam- paign for Queen's University just at this time. Another point touched on by the principal was that the salaries of the | professors were too low for them to (| be able to settle down to their work || with the assurance that they could: provide for old age. At the present time the scale of salaries is $4,000 Tor the head of a department, $3,100 to $3,400 for a professor, $2,500: to $3,000 for an assistant professor, and $2,000 and less for lecturers. Primarily the need was for money for salaries and not for new build- inbk, said Dr. Taylor. Overhead was rapidly increasing owing to the fact that new buildings were being erected and the Govern- ment had in effect stated that the grant could not be increased, he continued. . For these reasons the University would face a deficit this year. The principal declared that the Campaign Committee was getting a great deal of assistance from mem- bers on the staff but it would be necessary for all the graduates to get enthusiastically into the effort if that at the end of this week he would leave with Mr. Stalford to be absent about a month on the prelim- inary organization work in Canada and the United States. Mr. Stalford briefly told the Alumni of the organization work and how it was proposed to raise the two and a half millions. He made an dp- peal for the graduates living in Kingston to aid as much as they were able the reunion to be held in this city in the fall. Col. Wilgar declared that there was no question but what the objec- tive could be reached if the gradu- ates would get behind the proposi- tion without criticism He said that he did. not think the University ex- pected an exhorbitant sum from each graduate but it did expect co-opera- {| tion. Prof. Manley Baker, A. E, Day and A. C. Hanley also spoke. DIED AT WESTBROOK. The Late Mrs: Henry Evans-~Meet- ing of the U. F. O. The death of Mrs. Henry Evans occurred at her home on Tuesday, 23rd.
