 'I'iiat your petitioners are deeply interested in tlie maintenance and

 That (^)iieen's I,' Diversity, under the Royal charter granted bv 
 (^)ueen Victoria, in the early years of Ihr Majestv's reign, jjrovides tor 
 and embraces a complete course of literary and scientific ediu-ation ; 
 
 That the founders of Queen's University, at a period in the hi ;tory 
 of (!anada when there was a perfectly free choice of localities, selecte<l 
 Kingston on account ol' its central and salubrious position: 
 
 That two yt'ars ag(j. on all the c(jnstituents of (^)ueeii's Uni I'sity

 that {^)ueen's should remain permanentlv at Kingston carrsinir on

 That in an early address of its tounders. issued to the public in 
 183Q. the doors of (Queen's were opened to all the vouth of the country 
 without distinction of creed, or 'lass, or race; that trom the I'irst dav of

 That the whole of Kastem Ontario is d,v,.ly roncerned in the pros- 
 perity of (^)ueen's I'niversitv : 
 
 I hat a large and valuable property has been a((|uired at Kingston: 
 that new, commodious and permanent buildings have been erected with 
 funds furnished by the , iti/ens of Kingston for the Universitv; that the 
 Municipality of the City of Kingston, together with twelve County 
 Councils have unaniinoiislv passed resolutions in its support: 
 
 'I'hat gueen's L'niversity < (umts among its Iriends the great mass of 
 the population from which the students are chiellv drawn : 
 
 That your petitioners learn with great satisfaction that the extension 
 of University education is engaging the attention of the (Jovernment. 
 and it is their earnest desire dial the publi, importan.e of giieens 
 should be well known and dulv ((.iisidered: 
 
 'I'IkU it has i,een publicly announced that additional revenues are 
 required from the Province fo: carryi.ig on Universitv wor!: in Toronto: 
 that while your petitioners entertain the most friendly feeling towards 
 Toronto University as a sister institution ami sincerelv wish it everv 
 possible prosperity, they trust they may point out that so far as (^ueen-s 
 is doing the same kind ol work as 'Toronto Universitv, and doing it 
 eciually as well, she establishes the strongest claim to re.dve recognition 
 in some form : 
 
 i'hat the work done of a purely public character by both instituti(.ns 
 may be fairly measured by the number of students in the Arts classes 
 where general Literature and S.ience are taught:

 the returns when mule oi:t will ni all proLahility slum an increase; that 
 m the .ase .,r gueens the m, rease this session is marked; that the 
 "iinilnr-.l undergraduates attending has risen Ir-.m 160 to ,Xi. and 
 lli.it the una! niimlHr ot students enrolled is .^fij; 
 
 Thatsi„,e the lirst estal.lishm.'ut nf Tniversit v ( 'ollege, Tunmlo 
 the total number of students who have graduated in .\ni> (|!..\ ami 
 M.A.) is yog, and that sin, e the tirst establishment of gucen's University 
 the total mmiber of students who have graduated in Arts (I! \ and 
 M.A.) is 498; 
 
 That ar.ording to the ealendars for the present session, issued by 
 the authorities of both institutions, the tot.d numbers of graduates of al 
 kinds, from first to l.ist are ;is follows, viz; 
 
 (iraduated at University College, Toronto, total ,,041 
 
 (Iraduated at {.)ueen's University. Kingston, total 887 
 
 That these statistics, obtained froai oftiiial sources in both cases, 
 will convey to your Honourable House a correct idea of the important 
 work being done for the community by the two Universities at 'I'oronto 
 and Kingston : 
 
 That, however, the two institutions are doing their work under 
 entirely different cir.umstances; forasmuch as the University at Toronto 
 is and has always been wholly supported by public funds, the University 
 at Kingston h.is had to dep.^nd on local aid and the generous support of 
 its nuuK'rous friends ; 
 
 That while your petitioners ftilly recognise the high value of Toronto 
 University, they claim that Queen's University occupies a scarcely less 
 important place in the intelle<:tual and moral development of the com- 
 munity; that, therefore, while your petitioners would deeply regret to see 
 Toronto University crippled in her noble work for want of sufficient 
 revenue, they A„uld cpiallv deplore to see Queen's University left 
 wholly unrecognized. In the .jpinion of your petitioners it is of the 
 highest iinportan.e to the whole community that so marked an instance 
 of local antl |)ri\ate effort should be fostered and recognized;
