W. Ross and Mrs. Ross, President Creelman of the Ontario Agricultural College, the Rev. H. W. Crews, Mr. R. L. McKinnon, Mr. J. Davison, Professor J. B. Reynolds, Professor S. B. McCready, Miss Greenwood, Miss E. J. Taylor, Miss F. E. Kirkwood, Professor C. A. Zavitz, Dr. Bethune, Mr. E. L. Hill, Mr. W. H. Beattie, the Rev. W. G. Wilson.

At the conclusion of the dinner, the Chairman, after a few words of greeting to the assembled guests, proposed the toast "The King," to which the company responded by singing the National Anthem. Mr. Davison, Principal of the Collegiate Institute, then proposed the toast "Alma Mater," in a speech of a reminiscent character, and introduced the speakers of the evening.

President Hutton was the first to respond to the toast, and referred to an address he had made on a similar occasion about four years ago, when he had enumerated some of the pressing needs of the University. He was pleased to state that in the intervening years, the Convocation Hall and a Residence for Women Students, the lack of which he had deplored when he addressed the Association before, had become a reality. He remarked, too, that it was gratifying to know that a friendly Government was in power, as had been the case at the time of his former visit. This was necessary, he stated, in order that the revenue of the University should not be interfered with.

He then gave an excellent review of the progress made in the University during the past year, referring to the various changes which had been made; and he forcibly emphasised the benefits which the University would derive by reason of its development which made the outlook for the future exceedingly bright.

The Rev. Canon Cody also made an apt and efficient respose to this toast, saying that it was fittting that Guelph, the most influential agricul

tural city on the continent, should have such a flourishing Alumni Association.

He spoke of the reconstruction necessary in the University to afford increased accommodation, saying that the fact that the University was now made up of various colleges and diverse faculties made it unique and gave it features distinctly its own. In concluding he expressed the belief that everything was in favour of the University of Toronto becoming one of the greatest seats of learning on the continent.

Several songs which were rendered by some of the members present added to the enjoyment of the meeting which, it was felt, was most successful in every respect.

The following is the list of University sermons, preached in Wycliffe College Chapel during the year 190607:

Oct. 14, the Rev. O. Horsman, M.A., B.D., Morristown, N.J.; Nov. 11, the Rev. G. Jackson, M.A., Toronto; Nov. 25, the Rev. J. C. White, Allegheny, Pa.; Dec. 9, the Rev. Professor Kennedy, M.A., D.

Personals.

[An important part of the work of the Alumni Association is to keep a card register of the graduates of the University of Toronto in all the faculties. It is very desirable that the information about graduates should be of the most recent date possible. The Editor will therefore be greatly obliged if the Alumni will send in items of news concerning themselves or their fellow-graduates. The information thus supplied will be published in THE MONTHLY, and will also be entered on the card register.]
