The List of Prizes and Honours in the Faculty of Arts 70 THE JOURNAL OF EDUCATION May, 1873.was then read, and the medals and honour parchments delivered.(See list.) After the Affirmation, the graduating class was presented for the degree of B.A., which was conferred by the Vice-Chancellor.A well-written Valedictory was then read by Mr.D.C.McLeod.He adverted in proper language to the high literary training afforded by McGill, and exhorted his fellow graduates to preserve a memory of their sojourn there.The graduating class of Applied Science having duly pronounced the affirmation, were presented for the conferring of the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science, which was conferred by the Vice-Chancellor, after which another Valedictory was read by Mr.J.F.Torrance.B.A.This discourse, on the advantages of scientific culture, was written with much elegance and delivered with feeling.The farewell to Professors and fellow students was affecting.The following address was delivered by the Ven.Archdeacon Leach :— It seems to have become an established practice in this University for the Professors in succession to address the students at the annual Convocation.I should have been thankful to the Faculty if it had permitted the next in order to occupy the place that falls to me on the present occasion, but as it was unwilling to do so, I shall take the opportunity of making a few remarks on a subject that was once agitated with profound and passionate interest—the subject of the undenominational character of this University.For that important question the experience of the last twenty years has brought a very happy solution,—happy, I imagine, beyond the most ardent hopes of those who had a main hand in the measures and events that determined the present form and condition of the College.It was, as originally designed, a Church of England institution.This may be granted in consideration of the facts that the founder himself and all the members, as I have been informed, of the Royal Institution at the time when the property was devised to them, were members of that Church, and the first Royal charter for the constitu tion of the College provided that the religious element should have the form and manner of the Church of England.The members of the Royal Institution were afterwards, by authority of Government, not confined to Church of England men, and the result of that was to remove any one predominating influence, and to extend the basis of the Institution to its present scope.The forlorn and hopeless condition of the College necessitated this change of basis.The late Bishop of Quebec, Dr.Mountain, did everything that human prudence and energy could do to preserve it as a Church of England institution and “ Si Penjama dextra defendi vossent hac defensa fuissent;" but he yielded to the pressure of invincible obstacles.Well acquainted with the then state of the College affairs, I do not hesitate to say that the result was inevitable.“ To be or not to be, that, tvas the question,” and I am happy to find that the change has been productive of the greatest benefits.To show these benefits it might be sufficient to point to the great prosperity of the University for the many years since the change, was made.But there are some advantages of a less obtrusive kind that deserve special notice—advantages that spring directly from the freedom from denominational influences.Students of different churches or religious sects have passed through the College course at the°same time, have been brought into constant intercourse with one another and have engaged in energetic competition.There never has arisen among them in a single instance, so far as I know, any acrimonious discussions of religious questions.The good order of the University has been disturbed by no offensive bigotry.Whatever their dogmatical views the students have avoided all obtrusive expression of them.They learn practically the necessity and duty of toleration, finding in each other the moral and intellectual qualities, they cannot fail to respect and admire,—or those perhaps they can neither respect nor admire,—but this all independently of religious or sectarian preferences or professions.The tendency among students unquestionably is to estimate one another according to their attainments and worth.They would hardly enter a college and persevere in their studies unless they put a high value upon the work they have engaged in, and consequently those that have any acknowledged superiority in the work are certain to be estimated highly by them.Dogmatical peculiarities are hence subordinated—subordinated but still left untouched so far as any positive teaching is concerned.The undergraduates are, each of them, particularly assigned to the care of some minister or clergyman in the city, whom, for the purpose of religious instruction, they select for themselves, or whom their parents or guardians may select for them ; and at the dailyr morning prayer, at which attendance is voluntary, there are always a goodly number whose religious sentiments arc appealed to and awakened, and that all the more effectually,perhaps, because attendance is voluntary.It is certain that no single instance of indecorum or indelicacy has ever occurred during the time of prayer.It may be safely asserted then that since the University was made to have its present form, while genuine piety, religion pure and undefiled, have found in it as safe and genial an abode as they could among the strictest sect of Christendom, its freedom from predominating sect influences has, unquestionably, tended to cause the different religious bodies into which the community is divided to work together with greater harmony and regard one another with greater respect and consideration, not in external action only hut with sincere sentiment.The fact that the members of different religious bodies have combined to support this University by the most liberal contributions shows very conclusively' that the spirit which exists in the city' is not ol the fanatical kind.Fanatical exhibitions have generally been discountenanced in Montreal, and I hope always will be discountenanced.Moreover, from the affiliated Colleges, we have students of different denominations, and this is a fact that clearly shows their confidence that neither the piety of their students nor their maintenance of those diversities of Church government, or it may he of religious beliefs, are endangered by their course of study in science, philosophy or literature.It rather shows a wise determination that their students shall lie as well qualified as possible for the great business of human salvation-qualified in obedience to the necessities ol the age and in harmony, as I believe, with the designs of Almighty God.It would be a dreadful thing here, if there was no common ground of religious faith and moral conviction upon which the different churches or denominations could meet in amity, and as things are, I am not sure but that such different denominations as we have, are beneficial and desirable.The communion of the saints is the hope of every Christian.In the ecclesiastical sense, it is certainly remote, however, and in the meantime till the millenium come, the diversities referred to, arising, for the most part, from political conjunctures that belong to the history of the past, seem to be necessary for out-human progress and civilization, as long as they' cooperate and indicate a tendency to unite on all points that are essential to human salvation.For Christians this salvation must be brought by the gospel of Christ— “ Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day and for ever May, 1873.] FOR THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.71 and it consists in the moral and spiritual regeneration of men.What else can it consist in ?so that if men stand less intensely upon their “ tickle points of niceness” they will only perceive more clearly the majesty and mightiness ol the work they have to do; ample enough will still he the expanse for persuasion that remains—they still may wield effectually the blessed promises of Heaven for the production and cultivation of all goodness and holiness, and, if need be, all the artillery of hell against human wickedness and vice, and it is this salvation that will remain the eternal duty and justification of the church of God among men.There is much said about the infidelity of the age.My conviction is there is less real infidelity than is commonly supposed, less real infidelity in the eternal truths that Christ has stamped with the royal broadseal of God.Upon doctrinal opinions of a purely intellectual character, it seems to me that sensible people do not put so much stress as they used to do, and that they recognise the duty of putting a very charitable construction upon the profession ol them.Men are so differently constituted and educated, that many sincerely believe what others sincerely reject.The possible objects of a sincere faith are very numerous, and as long as they are possible we need not be very severe in our condemnation of those who hold them.No man is intellectually a God.It is possible to believe in absolute predestination or in its negative—in the universality of original sin, iutensively considered not to believe it—in baptismal regeneration or its negative—it is possible to believe in transubstantiation —in all the miracles of the Saints of the middle ages or the present age—in any of the articles of faith, in any of the collections of such articles, except of course, such as are constituted of contradictory propositions, and as I before said the diversity of individual intellect and education requires a charitable construction in favour of the sincerity of those who hold such opinions, though it need not suppress the discussion of them.The agitation of thought is the beginning of truth, they say, and even where contradictory propositions are concerned, even for them there is this in Christian charity to be said, that people imagine they believe, or perhaps believe that they believe them—although belief in this case is a clear impossibility—an impossibility for any intelligence on earth below or in heaven above.There can be no belief in contradictory propositions, and if Christian charity is to be extended to such a case as this, what other case" of dogmatical determination can possibly be conceived to which it ought not to be extended ?In the remarks I have now made, the theological students from the different affiliated colleges and others, have been particularly in my thoughts.The responsibility that belongs to the profession they have adopted and the difficulties that stand in the way of a successful accomplishment.of the sacred objects it seeks, have naturally led mo to sympathize with them, and ask the question bow far the course of study in the college was suited to give them the moral-.and intellectual culture they specially required.I can only state my belief that it would lie found from their own testimony that none ever departed from these walls without having his moral convictions more deepened and purified, his conceptions of his sacred office more enlarged and his powers for the performance of its duties invigorated ; and since then there is a special relation between students of theology and the professor of moral philosophy, because it is commonly m the power of the latter to establish or not those fundamental principles that determine in a great degree tlm future character and action of the individuals he instructs—since this relation is so important, I may be permitted to say that it has been a source of great happi- ness to me that Professor Murray has been appointed to the Moral Philosophy Chair.There is too little time to speak many words to the graduating class.I feel the necessity of conciseness, a subject which some of you have shown you understand.If you desire to succeed in your chosen profession you will do well to remember that it is necessary that your knowledge of it or as it may happen, your practical skill also, be as complete as possible.This ought to be your object, your high aim ; and even though you should not accomplish all you endeavour to do, yet you shall have done a great deal that you ought to do,— “ Who aimeth at the stars, “ Shoots higher much, than he who means a tree.” It is needless to say that you ought to be prudent, polite, and courteous, and full of kindness and compas sion.Being men of that kind, then follow truth and honesty wherever you go, and these, if you add that peculiar strength and consolation that spring from a constant recognition of Almighty God—from heart con sciousness of your dependence upon him for everything,— these will carry you through the world, I hope" prosperously, I am sure, rightly—they will carry you through the world and at the final examination, if you have the faith you ought to have, you need not be afraid of passing for honours and a good degree, to take along with you into another world that is better than this.The degree of M.A.was conferred by announcement.The recipients of the honor were John Hindley, Montgomery Jones, John McIntosh.The Registrar announced that the degree of D.G.L.in course had been granted to Professor Laflamme, Professor Lafrenaye, and Professor Kerr, Q.G.After the signing of the Registration Book, the degree of D.G.L.was con ferred on the two latter gentlemen, Professor Laflamme not.being present to receive the degree.The Vice Chan cellor then delivered the following address :— Mr.Chairman,—The retrospect of the past year, more especially with reference to that Faculty to which this meeting of Convocation properly belongs, presents a few salient and pleasing features, to which I may be excused for inviting the attention of members of Convocation and our friends.One is the increased number of our students in Arts, which has in the present session risen to 112, making with those in the other faculties no less than 300 students actually in attendance on the classes of the University ; and I believe when oil the occasion of the recent visit "of His Excellency the Governor General we had all these men assembled in this hall, we had probably a larger number of actual students than any other University in this country has been able to boast.Further, our students are not merely residents in this country, or even in the Province of Quebec.The majority of them are from other Provinces, and some from places beyond the limits of the Dominion.The increase in the number of our students in Arts is, it is true, partly owing to the institution of our Department of Applied Science, and partly to the connection with us of affiliated Theological Colleges whose students attend our classes as regular partial students; but though we would desire a larger increase in the number of Undergraduates in Arts, it is still true that those who take even partial courses of study derive inestimable educational advantages ; and our students in Applied Science must be held to be as important to the welfare of the country as any class of men that we can train.The special feature of this meeting of Convocation is, indeed, that we now confer for the first time, not only here but in Canada, the Degree of Bachelor of Applied Science.In providing for such a degree we are not only THE JOURNAL OF EDUCATION [May, 1873.following in the wake of the greatest and most successful Universities abroad, hut are doing a work specially demanded in this country at the present time.Canada has pledged itself to the world to cultivate and utilize wild regions more vast in proportion to its own means and population than those of any other country.This work cannot be done by mere traders and labourers.It requires all the resources of modern culture and science.But it requires not that culture which fits for literary leisure, but that which fits to tame the wildness, to utilise the hidden treasures ot the earth, and to remove obstacles and open up channels for the current of civilization This is the kind of culture which can be given by schools of applied science.One remarkable feature of this effort is that our peculiar position in the Province of Quebec seems to shut us out to a great extent from that public aid which elsewhere is now so liberally given to that practical education which fits for the higher branches of scientific work.Here a School of Practical Science rises under the impulse of private liberality.This, while a just ground of pride to the citizens of Montreal, is after all a condition of things which should if possible be improved ; and I hope that ere many years our success will call down a golden recognition from the legislature of our country.That success will depend much on the influx of zealous and well-prepared students, but the value of our course of study and the openings to useful and profitable work which it secures, should ensure us a large influx of such students.Already the inquiries which have reached me portend a large increase in the numbers next year, and the fact that our classes have already attracted men from very distant parts of the Dominion is of happy augury.While our own growth lias been thus encouraging, we have also reason to congratulate ourselves on the success which has attended the affiliation of colleges with the University.Morrin College, more especially, sends us a satisfactory report.One graduate in arts represents it in our lists to day, and two undergraduates who have passed their Intermediate ; but it returns nine regular students, and has had special classes in literature and science in the past winter, which were attended by no less than 164 additional students.Principal Cook and the other friends and supporters of Morrin have just reason to congratulate themselves on this success, and the city of Quebec has good cause to be thankful for their efforts.One of our affiliated Theological colleges has realised a handsome endowment, and is erecting an elegant and commodious building in the vicinity of the University, and has had, in the past session, more than forty students.This great success though it has depended mainly on the exertions of Principal McVicar,' is undoubtedly in part attributable to the educational advantages of the University, and should encourage other religious bodies to avail them selves of these great advantages toward the education of a cultured and efficient ministry, able to cope with the difficulties and controversies of our time.To return to the Faculty of Arts, the centre and nucleus of our College work, I have now to congratulate the Dean and Professors on the close of a successful session.To the former, who has now for 27 years been connected with this University, and has been a witness alike of its early struggles and present success, it must be pleasant thus to see the growth of an institution with which he identified himself when it was small and despised and which has vindicated his wisdom and fore-thought’as an educationist, working, as he long did, in advance of the ideas of the time.In the coming session the Faculty of Arts will be enabled for the first time, to take possession of and occupy the whole of the space prepared for it in the College Buildings, and thus to provide more effectually for the accommodation of its enlarged classes.A few years ago we had to thank our most liberal benefactor, Mr.William Molson, for the thoughtful gift of a fund for the enlargement of the library.We now have to acknowledge a similar benefaction to form a museum fund.Such aids I regard as of great value.I he library, museum and apparatus of a university are not like a building, set up to remain.They are like a tree planted, to grow and bear fruit, and if not tonded and nourished, they become dwarfed and die.Constant growth and care taking are essential conditions of their useful existence.Hence such funds as the William Molson library and museum funds are of the utmost value, and there is ample scope for many such benefactions.But the crowning benefaction of the educational year is one which we are permitted to announce only to-day— tlic endowment of tlie Jolm Frotliinglicun Clitiii ot Mental and Moral Philosophy with the sum of $20,000, bv a daughter who thus fittingly desires to enshrine the memory of a revered parent, a zealous promoter of education in its early struggles in this city, and a foimei Governor of the University.Such benefactions are, as Lord Dufferin well said in his recent visit to the University the true patent of our Canadian nobility which will hand down to all time, through successive generations of teachers and students, the honored names of those who are inscribed on the roll of University benefactors., T , ,., In closing my review of the session I should notice the fact that we send out from our classes this year no less than sixty graduates in Law, Medicine, Arts and Applied Science ; that fourteen students have been deriving benefit from the scholarships and exhibitions iounded by Mr.McDonald, Mrs.Redpath, Mr.Alexander, Mr.laylor, the Board of Governors, and the Caledonian Society ; and that fourteen of these aids are offered for competition in tho next session.We should also notice with satisfaction the evidences of healthy life manifested by the University Literary Society in its courses of public lectures, the formation of two companies of volunteers among the students, through the zealous exertions of Mr.Barnjum, and the effort of the undergraduates to establish a College Gazette.Snch spontaneous efforts of the younger members of the University are, I think, always to be haded with pleasure, when they take the character of educational, literary and scientific progress or of active pa trio ic ^And^now, with much feeling of shortcoming and deficiency, but with much gratitude to the bather ol mercies, who has smiled upon our work, and with sinceu, prayer for his continued blessing on all connected with the University, we bring its fortieth session to a close.The proceedings closed with the benediction pronounced by Rev.Dr.MacVicar.The following is the list of prizes, honors, and standin0, as read by Professor Johnson : FACULTY OF ARTS.Passed for the degree of B.A., in Honours (Alphabetically arranged.)—James tf.Allan, Charles J.fleet, Richaic • MacDonnell, Duncan C.McLeod, Charles H.Murray, Her ei L.Reddy, Arthur F.Ritchie, Simon J.1 unstall.Morrin College, Ordinary—Hamilton Cassells.Passed for the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science.Course of Civil and Mechanical Engineermg (m oidei o relative standing)-Donald A.Stewart, Henry H.W.cksteed, Clement II.McLeod, Robert J.Brodie, George I.Kennedy, M.A.Course of Mining and Assaying—John Fraser Torrance.Passed in the intermediate examination.
