 QUEEN'S COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY. 
 
 To the Friends and Well-ivishers of Queens University 
 
 Ottawa, January ist, 1886. 
 During the past year Queen's University reached, perhaps, the most critical period 
 in her history. For some time previously a general College scheme for the Province 
 of Ontario had been in preparation, which on the 13th January last was submitted 
 to the Board of Trustees. This scheme, whatever its merits, however attractive 
 some of its features might be considered, involved practically the destruction of the 
 University at Kingston. If carried into effect in its entirety, the scheme would have 
 rendered null and void the Royal Charter granted by our present sovereign forty- 
 four years back ; it would have necessitated the removal of all the effects of Queen's 
 to Toronto and the abandonment of buildings acquired at great cost at different times ; 
 it would have sacrificed a local affection that has grown with the growth and strength- 
 ened with the strength of the University ; it would have effected a complete efface- 
 nient of all those characteristic features which have made Queen's so important a 
 factor in the higher life of the country. 
 
 Under the circumstances which arose, the Board of Trustees acted with great 
 prudence and deliberatien. They determined to consult all the constituents of Queen's 
 before giving a final reply to the Minister of Education, by whom the scheme was 
 .submitted. 
 
 The Municipal Corporation and people of Kingston and the County Council of 
 Frontenac were not long in giving expression to their views. The adjacent counties 
 soon followed, and as one man they pronounced emphatically against the scheme. 
 
 The graduates and supporters of Queen's from beyond Kingston and its neighbour- 
 hood were in due time heard from. N j less than 355 communications on this important 
 (juestion .vere received from every section of Ontario remote from Kingston, and 
 likewise from the other Provinces of the Dominion. 
 
 The rororito r,cheme, so far as it affected Queen's, was universally condemned by 
 every fr.-nd. The opinion expressed in every quarter was substantially the same, viz : 
 
 1. T' at the charter of Queen's University should be upheld in its entirety. 
 
 2. That Queen's should forever remain at Kingston carrying on University work. 
 
 3. That every effort should be made to increase her efficiency and general 
 
 usefulness. 
 
Such was the determination come to, and, the better to increase her efficiency and 
 usefulness, meetings were held, _;?rj/, 'of Graduates, Benefactors, and all interested in any 
 way ; secondly, of the University Council ; thirdly, of the Board of Trustees. At these 
 meetings resolutions were passed, suggesting and strongly urging that the friends and 
 well-wishers of Queen's throughout the country should unite in a league or special society 
 for the purpose of effecting the objects set forth, 
 
 This is the origin of the organization which has been designated Queein's 
 University Endowment Association. It must be understood to be a society 
 having s|)ecial purposes to promote, and quite distinct from any existing University 
 body. It has no immediate connection with any of the teaching or governing organi- 
 zations. It [)artakes more of the nature of an outer bulwark of the University, fortified 
 by friends to maintain the integrity, to defend the interests and to promote the well- 
 being of Queen's. 
 
 A constitution has been with great care prepared for the new Association, which, 
 after being printed and circulated, ha.s met with general approval. 
 
 The constitution briefly sets forth the objects of the Association as follows : 
 
 '* To further in every possible way the interests and promote the general usefulness 
 ef Queen's College and University ; and with this end in view to circulate information 
 respecting its ' otidiiion, aims, purposes and prospects, so as to enlist and secure general 
 sympathy and support." 
 
 The constitution provides for enrolling gentlemen as Members and ladies as 
 Associate Members with the same rights and privileges. 
 
 A subscription of one dollar per annum will admit each person to full membership. 
 
 The year ending 31st December, 1886, will be the first year of membership. 
 
 It is believed that the friends and well-wishers of Queen's thus united in an active 
 organization will be in an infinitely better position to serve the institution than they have 
 ever before been. It is believed that the Association will be capable of accomplishing 
 much good foi this the oldest seat of higher education in Ontario. It is believed that 
 Queen's, strengthened and upheld by the Association, will command greater influence 
 and evoke greater public sympathy. 
 
 Occasion may at any time arise when the Association will be in a position to prove 
 of eminent service. It is publicly announced that Toronto University has again 
 appealed to the Ontario Government and Legislature for additional revenues to enable 
 it to carry on its work. We have no hostility to Toronto University. We entertain 
 
 no

none but the kindliest feelings towards that and all sister institutions. We cordially 
 recognize that 'Iteronto University has done noble work, and we sincerely wish it the 
 /ullest measure of success. We give our support to Queen's simply because we believe 
 "that she too is filling an important place, and that in the years to come she will fill a still 
 more important place in the intellectual and moral development of the community. We 
 believe that the country requires and that it will continue to require in an ever increas- 
 ing degree more than one well equipped University, and that the generous rivalry which 
 must result from there being more than one will redound to the educational advantage 
 'Of the youth of Canada. Such being our conviction, the friends of Queen's can have no 
 objection to the Legislature increasing the endowment of Toronto University, provided it 
 be not implied that Toronto is the only University entitled to such recognition. Many 
 of us think that the Legislature and the Government would act wisely in giving her 
 all the revenue she may require for her legitimate needs, but none of us are able to 
 see that only one University in the Province should be so favored. If Queen's is 
 doing precisely the same kind of work for the community as Toronto, and doing her 
 •work equally as well, it is manifestly only just and fair that in some way she too should 
 receive substantial recognition. At an early day it mav l)wome the duty of the 
 Association to bring all the facts prominently to public notl c, and to claim' for Queen's 
 the consideration to which she is entitled. It may soon become the duty of every 
 member of the Association by every honorable means to demand for Queen's University 
 41 share of public support proportionate to the public work she is performing. 
 
 The Association to be effective must be strong, and as its strength and influence 
 -will be largely in proportion to its numbers, it is a matter of very great importance that 
 friends and well-wishers should rally around the new organization. 
 
 Today, January ist, 1886, we enter on what may be considered the first year of 
 the Association. We can count on heading the roll of members with the names of 
 all the representative graduates and supporters of Queen's, whose communications are 
 appended to the Chancellor's Report on the college scheme, dated 28th April last. 
 These gentlemen declared that every effort should be made to build up and extend 
 the usefulness of Queen's as a University at Kingston. It was their advice that con- 
 firmed the Trustees in the wisdom of the course they followed, and as the Association 
 is a natural sequence of the final action of the Trustees, and is aiming to accomplish 
 what these gentlemen so strongly urged, we are fully justified in giving their names 
 the place of honor on the roll of members. 
 
 This gives us a nucleus on which to build up a membership ; a nucleus that does 
 not embrace the name of any person in Kingston and its neighbourhood, where all are 
 friends of Queen's.

 Already branches of the Association are being formed in Toronto, Belleville 
 Kingston, Brockville, Ottawa and Montreal, and although the exact number of persons 
 who have given their adhesion to the movement is as yet unknown, it would not be a 
 high estimate to place the number with which the Association enters upon its career 
 at about one thousand. I do not doubt that before many weeks the roll of members 
 will be greatly increased. 
 
 The movement cannot but prove beneficial to Queen's. That is its sole aim and 
 intention ; and an organization for that purpose, with its members in every walk of life, 
 in every section of the country, must carry with it much influence for good. I feel 
 that I am only expressing the wish of those who so strongly advocated the formation 
 of this Queen's University League when I earnestly invite every graduate and alumnus, 
 every benefactor and well-wisher, to become identified with the Association, and without 
 loss of time to signify the desire to be enrolled on the list of members.
