Dr. Fowlor, the now President, boing fintroduced by Mr. Queal, dolivered nn_addross, which wo summarise from tho toxt. Ho consid- erod universitios tho fruit of advanced civiliza~ tion, that universitios aro essential to civiliza- tion, that univorsities aro rendored nocessary by tho geusral intelligonce, that controlling minds end epirits havo boon trained in our echools, thab univorsitios _stimulate thought, that universtiea are tho frionds of truo religion, that hniversitios aro frionds of the Ropublic, that universitios (tunlllxy wmen for the learned. professions, and that uni- versities aro profitablo in dollars and conts. Noxt, tho learnod sposker considored the sctual work accomplishod by universitios, show- iog that thoy tonch all knowledge ; describing minutoly tho various branches of study, and tho wvbjects with which thoy had beon choson, On tho subject of religion, tho spoakor said, 08 to the moral and roligiows character of the uni- vorsity, this concorns sithor man or God, sud uay bo arrangoed about theso two contres. Tho University must be no respoo- ter of [fimona. Hor advantages muet 1ot bo conditional upon comglosion, blood, or eox. Thoro may linger somo fear concerning E\eudfir, but these caunot long romain in tho cronsing light of this age. Ceeducation be- iusin God's plan in the family, and is con- inued in tho public sohools, and'no vus vbjocts. it his Tolly to fear more s the danger dimine islios. Tho University must be & Christian institu- tion. Clristiauily prosonts n vast array of facts. ‘With but few oxcoptions it hos written the histories, inspired tho books, sustained the schools, snd doyeloped the civiliza- tion of thoe world. ~The facls of prayor aro ns woll establishod as _tho facta of gmvity. A univorsity must give thoso clagses of factsa fair chanco, While itis demand- od that the Church must accept facts and nbide by rosults, it _is too much to oxpoct thoe ssme (rom univorsitics, It is dificult to undorstand how thoy do less.
