Bruce Taylor of {Queen's University issued a state- {ment to-day in answer to the ques- tion he himself raises in comnectioa with the endowment campaign in Kingston this' week, in which the citizens of Kingston are co-operating in an effort to secure $25090¢-- one-tenth of the university's ¢ - trywide ebjective of $2,500,000. His statement follows: What is the money needed for? For even in these days when we think in large figures, two and a half millions is a large 'sum. And why is it, in view of th\ fact that Income and expenditure ' are just balancing, that the admi.\lstration of the University does no, call a halt and say, "Our funds 'pre so DR. R BRUCE TAYLOR. much, let our expenditures not ex- ceed this preseat figure"? Advance of Knowledge. 1. Knowledge keeps on- growing and a University is not a Univer uslems it triea_to. mals eit abreast o advance of know- ledge. Can you think of a medical school not equipped to deal with the germ theory of medicine, of an engineering laboratory equipped only with triple expansion steam- engines and innocent of an internal combustion engine, of a Faculty of Arts in which the study of ecomo- mics did not take a large place, and where the men and women, after- wards to be the leaders of the Do- minion's thought, were not able to study the constitutional experiments that Canada has made and is mak- ing. New knowledge mist be taken into consideration whether®it be in literary, economic, or historical re- cords, in applied mathematical science, in the chemistry of the bodily processes. Discovery is a con- stant process and Queen's Univer- sity would cease §o be a university it it were behind hand in follow the advanées in learning. 3 *. But the getting forth of the new thing implies new buildings, additional men to work in them, and all the increased overhead that goes with a growing plant, Since the war the value of money has largely décreased, wages, repairs, material, all cost .more and a sum that tem years ago was sufficient for a. cer- tain duty has now to be supplement- ed by at least®40 per cent. To Maintain Its Great Place. 3. An effort such as the present cannot always be in process, and those who beg often come to be re- garded as nilsances to their neigh. bors. THe life of the University may be regarded as perpetual and those who administer it have to lay their plans, not for to-morrow or , but for a generation ahead. We ask money not to pull us out of any hole, for no debt has been incurred, Nut to 'emable a great institution to maintain its great place. t 4.

It is obvious that no one man, however great his qualifi- cations, could give adequate instrue- tion in all these branches of know- ledge. That work is now covered by Seventeen members of staff. 6. Money is needed for the pro- vision of Fellowships. Under this system promising studemts can help a great deal in undentaking the care of the laggards and in relieving pro- fessors of much of the drudgery of correcting papers. It is poor ecom- omy to overwork the man who has originality and research in him, and the real professor will never be happy in his work unless he have time to keep abreast of the best thouglit in his subject. 7.

Bologna, Nov. 1.--Benito solinl has gnce again escaped the assassin"s bullet. A youth fired on him yesterday, the bullet ripping a Mus course with men eminent in their own branches of stufly. The large | universities on either side of us afd | the Institutions of learning through- | out the States are able to pay| salaries considerably larger than | those in Queen's. The University | has kept its staff just because of the | loyalty of the men employed to the | place in which they work. The lite in Kingston is itself a happy and reasonable thing and the attractions of the small town are many. The laborer is worthy of his hire. Queen's has its tradition of learning and oatmeal, but the tradition should not be unduly stressed. Great Benefit to Kingston. 8. Kingston should realize how great a benefit it is to the city on the strictly educational side to have the University in its midst. The en- rolment of students is 1,300, 279 of these belonging to Kingston itself. Hamilton and Ottawa, cities five times as large as Kingston, have each of them about 230 students 'ere there no University in Kingston, it may, therefors, be assumed that only a fourth or fifth of these Kingston students enjoying university train- ing would have the opportunity given them. 9. If they so desire it, those mak- ing contributions can have them earmarked for special purposes. The University is naturally anxious to! have to as great an extent as pos- sible the disposal of the revenue of the funds to be raised. But one man may be interested, let us say, In the Library, another in some spec- ial side of technical training, an- other in the social life of the stu- dents--whatever his particular in- terest may be he may be certain that his contribution will be used in the meeting of that interest so far, of course, as it is in harmony with general university policy. i Students' Union. 10. No aspeefal appeal is being made. for new buildings although it 1s obvious that & hydraulic labora- tory and a new mining mill must be provided in the near future. As a matter of honor, however, apart al- together from the advantage that such a bullding would be to the stu- dents, the University is pledged as a War Memarial to a-8tudents' Union in which undergraduates activities may find « home and where mem- bers of the various Faculties may meet together, This project has been delayed until those whe have it much on their minds have almost lost heart. The carrying out ot such a plan is a first charge upen the funds to be raised, and the stu- dents deserve this assistance from the University and its friends. To enter into further detail is not necessary. The citizens of King ston have watched with interest the development of the Summer School. an educational adventure which has opened doars to. hundreds of public achool teachers. To look around upon the splendid pile of buildings is to see that the institution is very much alive. Familiarity may blind the ayes of the unimaginative to the great thing that is going on year by year in Kingston, but the general body of the citizens has never been insensible to the advantages that the University conferrad upon Kingston and to the position of added dignity that Kingston had gaised through- out the Dominion because of the presence within its limits of Queen's University. --R.

Toronto, Nov. 1.--80 far as Lib- erals and Progressives are concern- ed there will be a minimum of three-cornered fights in the pro- ¥incial election campaign. The movement for mutual re- adjustment and co-operatiom with the aim of saving the O. T. A. has progressed to the stage where most of the difficulties have disappeared.

Weston as chair- man of the Conservative organiza- tion in Tillsonburg and member of the Conservative executive for South Oxford, has created a furore throughout the riding. Dr. Weston gives the following declaration of his views: "I am pre- pared to support the candidate per- sonally, but I am not prepared to get out and work nor to dake any responsibility in this election. 'I do not consider it an ordinary election. If Mr. Ferguson sees fit to throw | the temperance question into poll- ties, that is his business, but local | executives have not been consulted, and if a member of a local execu- {tive does not feel like working, he! should be allowed to refrain from | doing so.
