The foundation of the action, he said, was in the agreement between Queen's University and the Carnegie Foundation by which the advantages were stipulated for the third party. But the contract was commMnicated to the third party and by his con- tract he accepted the benefit and thereby acquired the right Tor him- self and for his widow. It was found in the documents which originated in 1919, that there were two letters which started the negotiations, one from Mr. Pritchard ' being of a personal nature. Cer- tain questions were asked by Queed's teeling out for information.

Mr. Calder argued that it was an absolute undertaking on the part of the University under the pian. re- gardless of the Carnegie Endow- ment, to take care of him, Counsel argued that Queen's had not fulfill- ed the contract to look after its own men who could not contribute to this plan or to formulate a new one. Dr.: Waddell had remained at the University as a result of the pro- posal that Queen's had made, and Mr. der contended that the widow of Mr. Waddell was entitled to ade- qpate provision. g with regard to length of service; it Royal Military College qualifications required the equiva- lent of four years high #chool and had six professors, its status of ser- vice was established, Mr. Calder con" tended. "To what extent is Queen's Uni- versity responsible to Mrs. Wad- dell?" Mr, Calder asked. He asked | why Queen's, when they had decid- od that no further pensions were to be granted, had not-sdvised Dr. Waddell so that he could have ac- cepted opportunities for other posi- tions had he wished to accept them. Colonel Constantine, during the getting forth of the argument by Mr. Calder, had entered the court room, and he was called to the stand. He had with him the records of the ex- amination papers of the years 1895 and 1896, but the curriculum for 1897, which would tell the number of professors, was not found but these examinations would cover the work that had been dome in that time. Colonel Constantine stated that 'Waddell's time 1 SPLENDID ADDRESS ON ROTARY PRINCIPLES But Chief Rev. W. R. Tanton of Napanee the Speaker at Club's Luncheon on Tuesday. er "you should live so much with Rotary principles that you know ~em just as much as you know your own business." The above are the words of Paul Harris, who had the honor of start- ing Rotary, and they were used by Rev. W. R. Tanton, pastor of Trinity United Church, Napauee, in closing a splendid address on "Rotary," be- tore the members of the Kingston Rotary Club, at their noon-day luncheon in the British-American hotel on Thursday. The speaker was for some years engaged # the work of Rotary, and he made an earnest and most inspiring address in the in- terests of the Rotary movement, stressing three of the principles for which Rotary stands--good fellow- ship, work among the boys, and un- selfish service to the community. «I am sure we all recognize the fact that Rotary lives by its ideals. Th the twenty-one years since it was organized, it has developed in a won- derful way. In all these years, every organization has undergone a criti- cal examination, and Rotary has made the greatest development. Ro- tary has grown and is continuing to grow. "And what are the principles we are stressing in Rotary? They were, no doubt, stressed by some people before Rotary came into existence, and they will have to be stressed even though Rotary goes out of existence. These principles have been accepted by Rotary and be- cause of this fact, the work has been a great success. In the first place, Rotary calls for good fellowship. The busy business men are asked to get together and try and understand each other. And what 1s being done between man and man Rotary, is also being carried on between city and city. And Rotary is back of the League of Nations, and T8 doing everything possible to spread the gospel of good fellowship through- out the world." Rev. Mr. Tanton gave a few min- utes of his time to the question of the value of boy life, and referred to the steps being taken by Rotary, to help on the good work. "Rotary is doing all it can to bring about better boyhood," he said. "Com- munity service is also included in the work of Rotary. Every member is expected to give some OT his time, and to use his influence to help the community in which he lives. In carrying out all these principles, Ro- tary will make a great contribution for a better world." The speaker was tendéred a hearty vote of thanks for his splen- did sddress on motion of Rotarians Dr. P. H. Huyck and John W. Lit- ton. The members of the club also had a few words of greeting from Ern- est Smith, president of the Brock- ville Rotary Club. Rotarian Bert Abernethy presid- od at the meeting, and very ably carried out all the duties. The luncheon was well attended. Ro- tarian "Jack" Hider sang a number of songs in tip-top fashion, and also acted as leader for the good old Rotary songs, which were put over with lots of "pep." Sid Salsbury presided at the piano. Rotarians Harry Breathwaite and John W. Lit- ton delighted the members 'and guests with their ever popular selec- tion, "The Isle of Man." Chairman Bert Abernethy put over a novel "stunt", when he called upon Rotarian L. T. Best, in a me- mory test. He asked him to give the names of all the members of the club present, with their classifica~ tion. Rotarian Best carried-out his task with flying coloss, and at the close, he was the recipient of a very tine gift. Rotarian "puff" Evans made the presentation with a meat speech. Guests at the luncheon included Charles H. Bowman, of Pittston, Pa.; Rev. C. C. Washington, Cour- tice, Ont.; Rev. Alfred Brown, Co- bourg; Ernest J. Smith, president of the Brockville Rotary Club; Walter T. Rogers, Brockville; H. W. Acker- man, Belleville; Olver Chown, Kingston; Rev. R. F. Stillman, Nor wood; Rev. A. J. Terrill, Napanee. Rotarian Dr. P. H. Huyck and Mrs. Huyek will make a trip to Den- ver, Col., and while in Denver, Ro- tarlan Huyck will represent the lo- cal club at the International Rotary convention. -------------- ' fliness at Seeley"s Bay.
