Financial Post. Despite the [att that we are liv- ing in a material age, an age in which the almighty dollar and the hustle and bustle of work-a-day life are playing an increasingly large part, it is nevertheless true our edu- cational institutions occupy a very) large place in the life of the nation. he head of one of our great Canadian colleges is in a position to wield an immense influence on the lives of the young men and women with whom he is brought into contact. A short time ago, Principal D. M. Gordon, of Queen's - University, Kingston, resigned his position on ac- count of 'ill-health. For the past few weeks all Queen's men and others in- terested in the success of higher edu- cation in Canada have been looking for a suitable man to carry on the work so ably conducted by the lafe Principal Grant, and his successor the retiring principal. In a very particular sense, Queen's | - has an atmosphere and a following all her own; 'in a measure she is Jong a work for the youth of Can- ada that it not done by any other col- lege in the eountry. Queen's is es- sentially a poor man's college, a con- dition that has made for an esprit de corps, or a "Queen's spirit," which has been the envy and despair of other colleges. The spirit is probably due to the fact that hoth professors and students have had to make many sacrifices. An education to a.Queen's man means much the same as an edu- cation did in the old days to the young Scot who tramped into Edin- burgh with a sack of oatmeal on his shoulder. Under the late Principal Grant, this spirit was featured and develop- ad. to a marked degree, and to-day thousands of men and women are occupying responsible positions throughout the country who bear the unmistakable stamp of the personal- ity of "Geordie," as He was affection- ately called by his students. During recent years Queen's has branched out, and from being purely | a denominational institution has be- come one of our great halla of learn- ing, with departments of science and medicine added to the arts ang theo- logical faculties, This has beef done without losing the Queen's spirit. Queen's has been in many respects a pioneer Af progressive movements. She was the first to establish a school of mines, was the leader in inaugur- ating a course in banking, and now is about to establish a department of insurance, It is now most essential, therefore, that a man be found who can take up the work of Grant and Gordon and carry the larger college efforts through to successful Among many Queen's graduates in eastern Canada, the name of Dr. J. W. Macmillan, of Manitoba College, 'has been mentioned as the most suit- able man for the post. Dr. Macmil- lan is a graduate of the University of later studying in the United States and various European Colleges. For a n of years he was a successful er, occupying pulpits at Lind- say, at Winnipeg and at Halifax. A year or two ago he was called to Win nipeg to take over the newly formed chair devoted to social science, a feld in which Dr. Macmillan has special- ized. He is essentially a man's man, democratic, tolerant and broad minded; a man who is not afraid to get out of the beaten track. He has made a careful study of such ques- tions az capital and labor, child's wel- fare work, the slum, the needs of parks and playgrounds; and a thou- sand and one other problems associ- ated with the practical everyday life of the common people. Dr, Macmil- lan is undoubtedly an ideal man for the position. He is still a young man, but with a maturity of thought and the ripened. experience of a man of a affairs. He is widely read, Sas travelled extengively, is a radical in thought and temperament, but most} tolerant of the other man's opinion. All who knew him recognize him as one of the biggest men mentally and physically we have in Canada, and by hundreds of Queen's men, and other interested in higher education, he ii regarded the best man-in sight.
