Knowles in Toronto Star It was lovely to be going back to Queen's. It ig always lovely to go back, for pleasure, to a place whirh in far other days youn only sought for toll. Besides, I went back under the most delightful and spicy conditions, having witnessed a few hours ba- [fora the overthrow of "Varsity at tha hands and feet of my old collegs, said victory duly signalized by a big dinner ®downtown, at which revelry and exultation flowed like a river. At which, moreover, the Very Rev- erend Principal Bruce Taylor did R | conduot himself, scholar and master though he is, like a veritable school boy with his effervescent joy, as though all the Rhodes Scholarships of the ages had been permanentiy won for Queen's. And he did in- dulge in vain-glorying to the extent of his happy heart; and did, more- over, confess that "that | minute was the longest hour I ever spent in my life," and did speak many other wonderful words. And Billy Nickles, (ex-M.P. and now M.P.P.,, mind you), a former classmate 'of mine, was there, his still ruddy thatch (over which might be written 'Nec Tamen Consumerbatur" by the years) aglow with jubilance. And Dr. Harry Pirie, the best half-back since Confederation. And Alf. (ex- Rev.) Lavell, saintly of face as of yore, whom mine eyes did behold smoking a cigarette, I feeling as if the gods had come down among me: at last. And Alf. Fitzpatrick, use- fullest of lumbermen. And Craw- Ad kh ld fo There are many and various kinds, all of which we are in a position to furnish. We advise in each case that which our long experience has found will give the best possible results, or are C AT mm : : ford Brown, more and more coming into his own as a great soul and a true soldier who has spurned the discharge he might so easily have had. And divers others, all as cock- a-doodle-dooish as if every man of them had made the last kick on goal, and as if there were no such thing as a stealthily approaching eleventh ng November when all our bon-fire might (but surely®not!) be sunk in ashes. The train that pulled out of To- ronto, eastward bound, on Sunday morning--for the '"Preshyterians" are.very modern now in their the- ology--was redolent of victory. In the dining-car, the smoking-car, the aisles, on the observation platform even, were echoes of the great gama, the names of Harding and Leadley and Somerville particularly in evid- ence, with many a fefvid eulogy «ft "end-runs' and other great and won- derful works on the part of the Cal- vinists from Kingston. In due time we arrived at that particular por- tion of "the old Ontario Strand' whereon the Limestone City sleeps its last long sleep and ies at anchor in the stream of time. Kingston, vocal and votiye, was at the station, two bands, too, each going its separ- ate silvery way. It was interesting to see the city celebrate, so self- controlled as it has ever been. As we wended our resounding way, past many a historic spot----especially tha dingy old office, Mowat's, where "John A." first began to study law-- I could not but remark how even the grim grey structures tried to smile. For events are rare ' in Kingston. (Ever notice how some cities never permit happenings? I hope, by the way, to be spared to pick up a paper some day and learn that something has happened in tford! Nothing ever did. Even Wobdstock™ is news- fer, though that news is almost uni- formly obituary in its nature--and that week may be counted lost which brings us no despatch about the passing of a nonagenarian there; if not there, then the "oldest settler" has died in Zorra, a veritable old men's home, but which transmits the tiding¥ of its departed pioneers, one a week, by way of Woodstock.) But this recent triumph was ins deed an event, and the dignified King- stonians made the most of it. And so we rolled along, cheer succeeding cheer, till we came to old Queen's and halted upon its spacious campus. Very 'beautiful it all was, too, the great stone buildings, each as if with | the stamp of eternity upon it, gatn- ered about the old arts building, still queen of them all, still Jooking out with grave digaity upon the noble lake sparkling in the sun. But what a difference from the Queen's of my day! Then there were but two build- ings; the Arts and the Medical, in the "den" of which latter I made she very first speech of all my life, and in whose dissecting room I underwent one of lite's 'greatest shocks. For, ears before, "OM Murphy," a Crim- ean veteran, had disappeared from the village in which I lived--and all enquiry was in vain. But, one day, morbidly curious, 1-visited the dis- secting room at Queen's. 'A new "stiff" had just arrived. I glanced at him casually----then again in hor ror--it was oli Murphy, undergoing his last indigai Ep Only two buildings then--Dbut be- bold now the mighty cluster.

Then came the next day's "excitement 'of opening Classes, of cap and gown greatly | prized, of shy beginnings of acquaint- ance with fellow students, and shyer relations with the professors, of whom, at that date, Watson in phil- osophy, Dupuis in mathematics, and Fletcher (late of Varsity) in classics | were the big three. Watson stll] there, just gompleting fifty years at | Queen's and with first rank In phil. | osophy over all the world. Dupuis, | the general genius, has passed on. Was almost stalled for my degree by Dupuis. «Could never manage mathe- matics, which seemed to give so 1it- tle scope to the imagination--and 1} think the proudest moment of my | academic career was when Dupuis, | despite my stupidity, Invited me to his house to tea, for we always rever- I ence the gift we do not ourselves | possess. Prof. Ferguson, still to the fore, was there. English was his do- main and vearly did he enjoin: | "Never use a preposition to end a sentence with." And it is told that) ence (for a reverend was he) when occupying a rural pulpit, having by | mistake brought the MSS. of a dis- | cussfon onthe varying uses of 'shall' and "will," he gravely delivered It | to the drowsy farmers, who found it as good a lullaby as anything else. Prof. Willlamsqn, brother-in-law to Sir John Macdonald, was there, too, having been there at the beginning. Among the stars dwelt he, astronomy 'being his daily bread. His absent- mindedness was known to all men, and it was sald that he oncé returned home from" a little party late at 'night, and on a wet night at that. | Whereupon "Billy" tucked his um- | brella in beneath the blankets anu | spent a very comfortable night stand- | ing on his own head behind the hall | door. { A flood or memories surged about | me as I roamed again around the familiar halls. Up yonder, just at] the head of the stairs leading to con- | vocation hall, was the scene of a still | memorable fight. I hear again one timid volunteer, a rather girlish fel- low, saying to the master of sopho- | mores just before they "went fn": | "Well, boys, you know I can't fight very much--but I can push pretty well." And again, when the gory festivities were at the peak, I see an athletic figure leaping the stairs three at a time, the tassels on his mortarboard swaying wildly, his | gown flying about him; and I hear a bovine voice shout "Stawp. | Stawp," the vowel long and stentor- | fan. It was the glorious Grant-- and we "stawped." I remember the great conflict as to whether dancing should be permitted at the closing conversazione., Thosé in favor were lined up behind the warlike Harry Pirie, whose eye still holds its mar- tial fire. . Those opposed were led by the now Principal Alfred Gandier of Knox, who was then, as yet, as strong a moral and intellectual force a8 one of his splendid mind and transparent soul is bound to be. It seems strange, by the way, that this ethical contest ever arose, so far have the most plous drifted from these or kindred scruples in these! later years. nny. am Dc ---------- should | Dyke's Automobile Enc Book that will show you how. lished that treats of the con- repairing of motor vehicles, using this Book as a Text Book. on Automobile construction, Operation and ectric Starters, Generators and How To Test; Tire Repairing, Ignition, Repairing, Ford Repairing, etc. 1,238 pages.

Again I visited the scene of the sittings of the dread students' court, the '"Concursus iniquitatis et virtutis," wherein, I being the fresh- man impeached, and with the pres- ent Judge Logie on the bench, I pleaded my own case and got a ver- dict of acquittal, the first ever ren- dered there up to that time, and, so far as I know, in any time. It was far and away the greatest oratorical thrill I ever knew. I heard once more the noble principal recounting in Convocation Hall, as cause for an |# LL.D., the linguistic prowess of Prof. Rand, of Halifax, "Prof. Rand," quoth he amid a reverent silence, 'can converse in seven different lan- guages." "Losh me!" cried Billy Neish from the gallery, to the con- vulsion of principal, 'professors and audience. I visited again my old boarding house, saw the room in which a most pious prig held a pray- er meetng over me because I took a Sunday morning train to Toronto to hear Sam Jones preach, said plet- ist last heard from when, as a rever- end real estdte agant, he solicited me to take advantage of a '"'smap" in western lands.
