 Toward the fall of IS^T, tlio Jlon. John ^[acdonald (then a nieniher 
 of this Senate) made known to nie his desire to aid in laying the f(»ui;- 
 ■datitii in Tor(»nto of a Hospital, wliich, to use his own words, " will iii 
 *'an eminent de<;ree prove ul»lessin;^ for all time to come to the afHicted 
 '"classes «if this ;;reat city, and wliich was the earnest wish of my chihl, 
 "but wliich will also materially contribute to the advancement of huhH- 
 " ral .xcieiice i.» connection with the University (if Toronto." 
 
 Mr. Macilonald's pro2)osal was that the University should set apart 
 a site for the PIosj)ital, aiid he would, in cash, cuntrilnite .•■'•10,000 to- 
 wards the erection of the buildings, .ind suj^yest*^! (amongst other de- 
 tails) that the institution .s!:ould be called "The Amy Macdonakl 
 Hospital." 
 
 This oH'er was intVjrmally maile known to the University Hoard of 
 Trustees, carefully considere*!, and heartily a})i»roveil of. 
 
 As to the jiro])osed name, there was .sonu' fear lest the public, to 
 whom it was intended to appeal for assistance, might erroneously 
 assume that the h<»spital was to be of a (juasi-private chai'acter, and 
 this view T made known to Ser.ator Macdtmald. 
 
 On the ir>th of XovemU'r, 1H87, he w-rote, informing me of his hav- 
 i)ig i'ojicluded Ut abandon his own wish in regard to the name of th«! 
 iustitutifiii, but vliieh change W(;uld not alFect his original oti'er of 
 i^4<.',uOO towards the proposed hos])ital, and enclosing a draft agreement 
 showing his original views. 
 
 This letter, witl. the di-aft agieement, 1 submitttul to the University 
 Bo;ird of Trustee, ai their meeting, hel<l on the 18th of November, 
 1S^7, and the f(ll(-wing minutes of the lioard set forth tlie action of 
 the P»oard in regard ther»'to ; 
 
 '•«)n !iioti(»n of Ml', lloskin, secon('f;d by Mr. Justice Patterson, the 
 " f(, 'lowing I'esolution was unanimously at!opt<.'d : 
 
 •' J'l s,,h;'fl — That the TrusKu s of the Univt-rsitv of Toi'onto grate- 
 "fully aeknowledge on behalf of \\w citizens of T<iroi)to, as well as the 
 •' Uia\eisity, the gift of ^'^0,000 from the ]Ionoi'able John Macd<»nald 
 "as a u'lii-'rous contribution towai'tls the extension of hosjiital •ocom- 
 "mo<l.ition, the necessity for which is a con.scijucnce (»f tin- growth of 
 " this city, the adviincement of medical scienct; and the promotion of 
 " thoidugli and practical niedii-'al education.

 " The Trustees desire to convey to ^[r. Macdiiiiald tiu; assurance of 
 •' llieir sincere hope that althou^^h the generous motive to secure the suc- 
 •• Cess of the institution has led him to withdraw his origir.al suirjjcstion 
 " that his daughter's name should he a.-Jsociatcd with it, he may have 
 " the gratitication of seeing her earnest wish fulfilled l)y the hospital 
 " not only proving in an eminent tlegret^ a blessing to the alllicted, Imc 
 "also materially contributing to the aclvancement of medical science. 
 
 " Ordered that the draft agreement and letter above set foi'th be tiled

 "organization, and thereupon the agr(;ement and letter be placed in 
 " then' custody, and form part of the records showing the histxry ar.d 
 '' origin of the pro[)osed hospital." 
 
 From .1 perusal of the draft agreeuient and letter and the resolution 
 in ([uestion, the Senate will understand that the lioard of Trustees 
 accepted ]Mr. Macdonald's proposed gift oi: the t(M'ms, amo)ig>t others, 
 that the University was t(< provide the site, and agret-d, as suggested 
 by him, to ariange for the appointment of a coniiiiiltee of citizens, iii 
 whom, as a corporation, the property should be vested, etc. 
 
 At this stage, one of the (pu'stioiis to determine was the naiue. A 
 member of the lioard suggested that of "The Park Hospital," because 
 of the proposed location. This seemed to meet with general ai^proval 
 and shortly theieafter the undertaking of the Board, to arra\Agofor 
 incorporation, was made g(jod l)y a numbi'r of proiaiiu;nt citizens being 
 incorporated under the (General Act for the j)urposo of carrying out 
 the project. These Trustees W(!re thv, following, namely — Tlie Hon.

 " poiiitetl liy the Senate of the I'niversity of Toronto, in aeiunLiim- 
 " witli the ]»rovisioiis(»f such statute or statutes as the Senate may fr4ini 
 " time to time enact." 
 
 From the (juoted provision of the charter the Senate will observe 
 tliat it has full control over the personnel from time to time composing 
 the Board of Hospital Truste(?s, und in this way can always secure 
 elTect being given to its view.s, almost as completely as if the Trustees 
 were a mere comuiittee of the Senate. 
 
 On tlie 1st of December, 1S87, was held the first meeting of the 
 Board of Hospital Trustees, fifteen members of th<; lioard being pres- 
 ent, and the minutes show amongst others the following i>roct;edings: — 
 
 " Moved by ^Ir. Hoskin, seconded by Hon. Jolm Macdcnald, That 
 ♦'Geo. A. Cox do take the Chair." Carried. 
 
 "Moved by Mr. Ho^kin, .seconded by Httn. John Macd(»naUl, That 
 "J. E. Berkfly Siiiitli, be Secretary." Carried. 
 
 " Moved by Hoii. John Macdonald, .seeonded by Mr. Hoskin, Tiiat 
 "Mr. Wiiliam ^Muloek be the pei-manent chairman of this Boaril." Car- 
 ried unanimously.

 "Moved bv Mr. Hoskin, seconded by Mr. McKa»', That Mr. Janu;s

 "^Itived by Mr. Hoskin, secoiuled by Mr. Osier, That Di-. Wilson, 
 " Senator Macdonald and the Chairman, bi; a committee to prejiare 
 "pro.spectus for the public." 
 
 I have given the foi-egoiiig particulars that the Senate nuiy kn(-»w the 
 history of the origin of the Tuik Hospiiul Trust, its organization audits 
 (jbject, and the e.xteiit t<» which it was endorsed by the University 
 Boiird. 
 
 When the I'esolution of tlu! Cniver.sity Bcjard, cttnnected wiih the 
 prttposeil gift of Seiiatoi' Miic(k)iial(l, was given to the press, there 
 arose in \iirious iulhicntial ([uarters remonstrances against the esiab- 
 lishment of a hospital in the Park, At this jieriod ni» ]>articular 
 sp«.)t in the Park had \)i\\\ decided u]ion, but there was a very geii(-ral 
 oulci'V aniongst the rcsident> of the Pai'k and vicinity against tiie pro- 
 posal. The result was that the ninvriiu'nt was for the time paralyzed. 
 
 I was e.x'tremely desirous that the hospital scheme sliould injui'e no 
 0!ie, and having been informed that hospitals were found in close pi-ox- 
 imity to valuable residential and other proj)ei'ties in cities in the I'niled 
 States, T det<'rmined to visit thcisc places in order to satisfy myself as to 
 whether such objections wen; well f«»uuded, and accordingly Tdidal>out 
 ■ the end of December, L^.sj, in company with others, make such inspec- 
 tion, examining son»e twenty leading liospitals with their surrour.dings 
 in Bos*;on, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and came 
 to the conclusion that there wa.s no substantial ground for any such

 the action in (|uestion created tlui im])i'tssion on my mind tliat the 
 disjio.sitioii of these lots was re.dly withdrawn from the r.o.ard. 
 
 ][owever this was, they remained unutilized, and I assumed th;.t tlu; 
 attitude of W'ycliile, in I'.'LC-'ii'd t«>»thi'iii, remaiiuMl unch.ini;<'d. Aee<ird-

 n.-nioved what w;is practically a <Iead-lock in regard to tlu' i^.o lots, 
 without any sacritiee of University inK'rests, proxided that it is con- 
 ceded that an Hospital is <a necess.ary adjunct to .an eiliciently eijuipped 
 Medical I'.iculty. 
 
 Incidentally I may rem.irk that tlu- opinion had lon^f been enfert lined

 ^I.u(l.>iiul«l WHS unwilliiii,' tu purflmso at this pi-icc. H«'iice an^thci- 
 cnii.sidfral)!^! delay. 'J'lu' jiruposal as to tluj site liiially soI<-rtfi! wav 
 known to many prominent UnivtM'sity men, and T am not aware of lias iii;^ 
 i'Vi'v lieard any objection to it. On the contrary, duriiif,' the very cuii- 
 siderable delay that occurred befort! it was acted upon, T was ur^'ed by 
 more llian one prominent Uiember of the Tnivei'sily i'uard to j)res> it 
 to a comjtletion. This I could not do, for the reason that the Wyclifto 
 authoritie and ]SIr. Maodtmalil had not agreed as to price. Tt was well 
 known at thi' University Hoard that this ofTer of ^Vvclitf^!.s was ui)en 
 for acce])tance, and the delay was at times j-eferred to, and I think 
 always with ivju'ret. 
 
 Durinif this period tlie attitude of the University l»oard towards the 
 proposal was one of general approval. I'heie was no action for tho 
 I>oard to take, as everything depended on Senator MaccNmald and 
 AVyelift'e coming to an agreement. 
 
 Thus matters i-emained until T n.'ceived an intimation that Senator 
 Macdonald was seriously ill, and desired to see me. Accordingly, the 
 next morning being the 1st <jf January, L^OO, I called upon him and 
 was .sh<»wn to his bed-room. lie there informed me thai he had 
 be(?n dangerously ill, and tliouirh then a}ii)areiitly b(!tter, that he was in 
 a nio>t j.i'ecarious state of health, that during the crihis tlirough wliicli 
 he had been jmssing. his mind had continually dwelt upon his uncom-- 
 ]jlole(l promise uiade to his dying daughter to conti'ibute towards th.c 
 founding of a hospital the slwii'e in his estate which she woidd have 
 received if she had survived him, and he had concluded to agree to the 
 price placed on WycliftV: Colleg(? property rather than risk further delay, 
 and as soon as he felt able he would endeavour to place the ."7JO.OOO 
 forthwith at the disposal of tlie Trust, wheii he hoped I would pi-ess the 
 matter to a conclusion witiiout fui'ther delay. • 
 
 He nniiinded me tliat he iuti-nded, as he had often told nu- before, to 
 increase the amount by his will, and impressed me with the intensity of 
 Ills iin.xiety for the earliest ])ossible comy)l(!tion of the purchase, and with 
 the danger arising from delay, concluding his rtiference to the condi- 
 tion of his health l>y informing me, to u.se almost his own word^, that 
 he felt that there was a very narrow boriler land separating him from 
 his daughter, to whom ou \u-y death-bed he had made the }ironiise in 
 question. 1 assured him thai as soon as he advi.sed nu; that the cash 
 payment of .'i<10,000 was at the dispo.^^al of the Board, I would use all 
 possible despatch in pressing the purchase t(» a comjtle.tion. 
 
 He made one further l-equest of me, which T hope may bt respected, 
 He desired that over the main entrance, which he thought might bo 
 near tiie head of McCaul street, there be placed these words, "He cured 
 them all." 
 
 Thus ended my interview, and I never after saw him alive. T felt/ 
 that there was not a moiiN'nt to lose, and that even a day's delay might 
 jeopardize a scheme whicii appeared to me full of jjromise of usefulnc'^s, 
 Ujtli to the sutl'ering public, and to the Univeisity as a leaching I><xly

 tal is practically under the control of this Senate and a\ailai/:.' f<.r 
 medical educational purposes as it may deierndne, a.id J Acotiiie to 
 assert that if tlfe scheme is not imjiaired the University will ir; due 
 Course reeeivti hy way of rent from fees of students attending thi^ JIos- 
 pital <juite as much money, if not njoi'c, than she could leali/.e either 
 1)V selling or leasing the laiid. 
 
 There are those whose opinioris art; of *;ialue, who think tiiat aii Hos- 
 pital forms a nec(,'.ssaiy j»art of the I'ljuipimeiit of <\»;ry etlicieni nieiii^.d 
 faculty, iuid in proof of this it. is only iiecessjuy to remiiul the Sei.aic 
 that th(; great na-dical schools of (irear Ih'itain, the United States aiid 
 Cicrmany, have control of liosj.itals, and whatever may he intended, I 
 fear that an assault on tin; hospital, in (juestion will he regani'ila.- 
 aimed at our ^Medical Fac-ulty. 
 
 I therefore trust that the Senat«! will lirst decide whether the jires- 
 cnce of th.e hospital in (|U('stioi< is of any, and if so, what sei\ ice \o 
 the I'luversity. There can he i.o coiillict hetweeii the I 'in\ i-i -ity aiul 
 "the Hospital Trustees. They hold ollice at thi^ will of the Senate and 
 can make no (lisj)osition of the property without the coiiscjit of the 
 Senate, which thus ha\ing full control, can ]>y its action, deierniim- the 
 iat<; of tlu- hosjiital. If the Senat<' ret|',iires a surrender of the C'oi;>';jc 
 Street lots, ill w hole or i)i Jiart, it I'an, I think, .attain tiiat end h\ ac: i^n

 sity that T idi'iuiliod mysflf with the hospital schomf. I Ix-U.-v.- in 
 the ^[(.'(lioal Faculty aiul earnestly desire its success. T liave liu ..yia- 
 j)athy witli those who contend that no public aid should he i,'i\(Mi 
 towarils the advancement of Medicjal Science. Ft is a view tu uhich 1 
 personally cannot i^ive uiy unseat ; and oven it' the hospital scheme cost 
 thi! Univer.>ity somethini;, which I contend in the end it will not, I 
 consider it would !)0 worthy of fair cjnsitleratiou. The time will oomu 
 when I think you will he unable to maintain your ^ledical Faculty 
 unless you have control of an hospitah Aready Montreal has become 
 .1 great hospital city, and it behooves us and all medical scho(jls in Tor- 
 onto to make Toronto a great hospital centi'e, otherwise our students 
 will seek elsewhere those a<lvantages not within their reach at iiome. 
 
 As to my own j)ersunal connection with the t^stablishment of the 
 Hospital, and to which some arc inclined to take exception, I trust 
 that it will not be allowed to prejudice the scheme. Some may ai)prove 
 of the scheme and disapprove of my course in c(jnnecti(m thei-ewith. 
 To them T would say, cundenni me if you like, but not tlu^ scheme if it 
 is itself deserving of ap}iroval. 
 
 1 ask him wlm n<»w criticises my action so sover(>ly, "what would he 
 have done if he had been in my place?" 
 
 When in bs.'^o, I determined to propose the bringing of Victoria 
 University into alliance with this University, it was to S(!nator ,Mac- 
 donald, then a member of the Senate of both Victoria and this Univer- 
 sity, that T lirst connnunicated my views. After giving the matter 
 cai'«'ful consideration, he expressed to me his approval of Un: prop(jsal, 
 and ortV-red to be a medium whereby negotiations might !)e begun, ano 
 he did so act. Deservedly er.joying the conrideuce of the friends of 
 Victoria, and being a membi-r of our Senate, he was able to reiuh'r 
 valuabl{> service to tht^ C:)nfederation scheme from the tim(! of my 
 oi-iginiil proposal until thi' happy cor.ipletion of C<)nfederation. The 
 aid which he throughout these years extended towards Confederation 
 carmot be over-estimatt.-d and his contribution towai:ds the iK^spital in 
 ijuestiou wiis but another evidenci! of his chaitable disposition, and <if 
 his iai'gf ln-arted iiireiesi in T v pro. notion of higher eilucation. 
 
 T v.'ould remiml tho-,) who se.'k to maki! a point against the develop- 
 ment of the science side of the Univi'rsity, that the University must keep 
 faith with those wiio endorsed confederation. A university's woik is 
 not contined to tlu- lecture room. Her every action should b« an obji>ct 
 lesson of wliat is honourable and tiaie. I sy;ni).ithi/..^ with all those

 work which niost onc-rns thi-m, but in the interests of the Univi'r>ity 
 as a wiiole 1 vent ure to suggest tiiat such /.cal should not exceed tlie 
 bounils of friendly rivalry. 
 
 Nor nei'd f remind you how easy is the work of destruction. Tf the
