The present en- rolment. includes students from twelve provinces. Five students {rom Honan represent the United Church of Canada mission in that province. 'The number of de- pominations represented is de- creasing because at least five churches have united in the Church of Christ in China. One trend at present is in the direction of separation 'of theo- logical from other faculties in conformity with government reg- ulations. Another trend is the growth in numbers of Chinese members of the teaching staff. There are six 'women - students enrolled, three of: them in the preparatory year. Cal n Professors In the medical school 'as well as in the school of religion are found Canadian professors. The senior professor of medicine is Dr. Wm. McClure, graduate of MeGill University, Montreal. Dr. E. B. Struthers, graduate of the university of Torento, has lately returned to the campus, Rev, R. TORONTO MUSIC HALL ASSURED Money Assured to Continue Operation of Massey Hall ert Toronto, Ont.--Fears that Mas- sey Hall--Toronfo's foremost mus sic hall-- would be closed down owing to immediate financial dif- ficulties were dispelled when Hon. Vincent Massey, Chairman of the Foundation and Trustee of the Music Hall announced that the I'oundation has granted $20,000 to cover notes which are held by the banks, The famous hall was bujlt in 1894 by the late Hart. A. Massey, grandfather of Mr. Vin. cent Massey. "The Trustees now must turn their attention to the ayeldance of future deficits," Mr, Massey said, "while they had the alterna- tive of selling the property and applying the proceeds to charity, they were most reluctant to con- sider such a course. "The foundation would assume the $20,000 debt as an emergency measure," = Mr. Massey stated, "without in any way prejudicing itself to similar action in future. It had no intention of committing itself to a perpetual subsidy' of Massey Hall. "The object for which the hall wag left in trust, that of providing education 'and high-class enter- tsinment at low cost to the publie, had "been more or less achieved trom time to time in the past, Mr. Massey explained, "until re- cently the scale of prices at con- certs of international artists was regulated not by conditions in To. ronto but by the managers in New York. That was a situation which LLOYDS' OLDEST EMBER RETIRES Sir John Luscombe Has Been Member for 61 Years ampigp--_-- London.--That famous institu tion of underwriters, known as Lloyds, has lost its oldest member in the retirement of Sir John Luscombe, who has been a mem- ber for 61 years. Eighty-three years old, and the *Father" ot the house, Sir John Luscombe's ex- perience of City life naturally voeg back well into the days be fore telephones and typewriters were even dreamed of, when tele- graphing was almost as much a novelty as was the spectacle of a woman clerk in a City office. Noth. ing but Marine Insurance was conducted by Lloyds in Sir John's early days in the City. Rather appropriately, his own early years were spent in the Mercantile Mar- ine, where he rose to be a second officer, He was elected to member- ship of Lloyds at the age of 22, and was then the youngest mem- ber. At that time the staff was barely 50; now it is nearly 1,000. Underwriting members today number 1,400, which is more than double the number in pre-war years. 8ir John was knighted in 1902, and held the Chairmanship "of Lloyds no fewer than five times FRENCH EXHIBIT could not continue if the hall was | to be kept free of debt.

In an introductory note to the Cata- | logue, W. G. Constable writes: '""The break-up of great French collections consequent upon the Revolution gave new opportuni- ties to English collectors, which were eagerly taken: and a new generation of artists was ready to learn from their acquisitions, , . To Seventeenth Century French art may be assigned to a decisive share in the rise of modern land- scape painting. Soon England was to pay back something of the debt she had incurred." Writing in the Daily Telograph R. R. Tatlock says, 'French art history is continuous, because it has adapted itself, century after century, to contemporary life. In most other countries the painter has tended rather to'close his eyes to the visible world surrounding him and has indulged in day- dreams about the past, or has {n- vaded the realms of literature, poetry, and even music."

The strike also occurred at other theatres, but with three ex- ceptions they were all able to carry on with volunteer assist- ance. Nearly 6500 strikers were diamisged the next day, the managements rejecting their de- mands for a collective contract. -------------------------- "Your engine's missing," re- marked the mechanic.
