THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG |THE ALUMNI CONFERENCE {OPENED AT Qu CEEN'S EN'S UNIVERSITY | ON MONDAY AFTERNOON The: Opening Lecture by Prof. A. 8, Ferguson... The Evening Lectures! Are by Pref. J. L. Morison. 16 twenty-eight ence of Queen" Association ope (hoon. Principal Theological Alumini first speaker, Prof. A. { Queen's j ture of the convention. A large number of people were! | gathered to hear the lecture which | was on "The Dardanelles in History." { The lecturer stated that the Dardan- elles had always been from earliest {history the key from the east to the {west of Europe and Asia, the point | {that has kept back chaos from enter- {ing Europe. There are five points that are literally keys to the suprem- acy of the world, the Dardanelles, Panama, Suez, Singapore and Gibralt-| ar, and of all these said Prof. Fergus on, the Dardanelles is the greate {key of all, The DardaneHes have figured history fromjedriiest times, have ot the scene of some of thewworld's great- est battles and wars. The great city | of Troy was founded with the Dardan- | elles as an outlet for its fighting and jcommercial enterprises, and Troy was | iperhaps the greatest example of tHe! {enormous strength of the Dardanelles. | || Right up to the glorious defeat of {three years ago the Dardanelles have | featured in world history and doubt-| { less will until the millenium, Prof. Ferguson then traced in de- { tail, aided by some excellent lantern { slides, the history of the Dardanellles | up to the present war, and he gave a | thrilling resume of the situation of | { the fight staged there in 1915 and j1016. Now he said Turkey in Eur- ope, ig no more, but some great pow- er will doubtless control the Dard- anelles and history will soon stant | again. From the year 1000 B.C. {til 1918 A.D., the Dardanelles Perel known no peace from wars and ru- mors of wars, and now there is peace Prof, Morison's Lecture, At the evening session Prof. J. L. | | Morison, of Queen's delivered a lec- ! ture entitled "Reflections of a Demo- | | based upon | his own experiences while serving in i bilized Officer." being the Imperials in Asia and in France. Dr. Dyde, principal of the theologi- cal college, presided, and in introduec- ing Prof. Morison stated that he had been appointed to the Chancellor's lectureship for the period of two years and congratulated the Associa- tion upon his choice. At the outset Prof, Morison stat- 3d that the present was a time when + man should be permitted to speak what he thinks, for intellectual cow- ardice was a great fault. Religious reconstruction was thie most impor: tant thing today to his mind and he hoped that his conclusions might be followed by discussion. He was a student-returned soldier, and he dis- cussed the motives that prompted him at thd outbreak of the war to volufiteer his services. As a Liberal he hated militarism, and the gospel of Jesus Christ was antagonistic to war, but when the day came he ne- | ver had a doubt about his duty and | he could not understand how any {| man could do otherwise than he did. | The average man knew that the thing to do was to right a glaring wrong. He dealt minutely with Ger- man doctrines and the arguments of the pacifist intellectuals--per- sons, who, lived in an atmosphere from which ugly facts were exclud- ed. In dealing with the arguments for war, he declared the aethetic dis- dain of war a contemptible thing, for "if you must fight, fight it out." He was a conscriptionist, too, for this was the only,policy possible, in the light of experience, The tail end of the voluntary system was mere rub- bish. After all the choice of the pa- | tion was the choice of individuals like himself. The speaker gave a most interest- ing account of army routine in a great campaign, and the means em- ployed for the enforcement of disci- pline, a system that in time had a ruinous effect upon individual initia- tive and resource. There were few joy-of-battle men in an army, the novelist and historian to the contrary notwithstanding. It wis not the joy- of-battle that won, but the will and conscience of the ordinary man. Prof. Morison told of the vices produced by war, but declared that there were compensating virtues such as sociall- bility, fellow-feeling, the abandon- ment of lying and the development of a strong sentiment of army loyalty whith could not be equalled in soc- jety. The comradeship of war could not be found anywhere in peace. He 'did not think Christ. would have eri- tifized the men he was with. The war was the final school of the humani- ties. " Prof. Morison concluded with a graphic description of life | in the open, of the desolate wastes in France and Belgium and touching scenes in Scotland. Referring to the use of liquor, he said there were:a dozen worse things than drinking. Principal Dyde and Rev.
