Whiiu tbe menu was being discussed, Mr. Cliailes Reichlii g's stritig baud diH- coursed exurlltiiit iukhic. The tulloNiiig ioimal toasts were then disposedof:— "Ihe Queeu," "The Govei- nor-G. neral," "The Lieutenant-Governer." Id prupo>ing tliu next toaat, « 1 be Uui- ▼eisity," tlie I'rubideiit (faid he felt highly hu'iouied to have the privilege of prupotting this ti>ast oD such an occasion, aud iu doing BO would give, iu a tew words, the history 01 this Uuiv. rsity, of its rarly trials, and of the men wh<> so nodly encouraged its CHieer, of its louiider, and of those «ho in the pabt had boine the burden aud the heat of the day, who had sown the seed from which they hud reaped tht* harvest, and who had loug entered into their rest. Be felt honored, hec^iuse he felt that this was a festive gathering to celebrb.>v. the coming of age of their University. (Applause.) McGill University was in the 50th year of its r xisteuce or m'>re correctly its 60th Session. A University, like some other thiug>, came to maturity slowly, and he thought they might safely say tliat their Univertiity was tu-day coming ofsge. In this connection it might be interesting to ask the parentage ot this lustitution. Who fatbered her ? Why, the Merchants «>f Montreal ; she was born, so to speak, in the Chauibt-r of Commerce. 8he had been reared wet and dry nursed, by merchants ; all her little early difficulties and troubles had been treated in the Corn Exchange. [Laughter] To whom did she first lisp forth her early prayers ? To the merchants of Montreal. They had seen her safely through the teething, the measles and the sevtiral other tritical periods of her exist- ence ; mortoverthey saw her through the critical peiiod of puberty, and he believed that (ieriod was the time they sought the aid of their nuble Principal ; he was the doctor called iu and he reared her through that critical peri«d. [Loud applause] In looking over the history ot the In- Btitutiou biiefly, he did it with a medical eye (laughter and loud applause), and just at that lime there were indications of cummencing maturity, and it was very lurtunvte fur titis Institution and this cil) that they called in so skilful a pdysiciau. [Cheers]. He might my iu this connection that this University was a child of trade ; foumded, as he said, by the aerobantB of Montreal, she owed her continued existence almost exclusivtly to these gentlemen. There was nothing in the whole history of iil on treat to which the merchants of Mont- real could look forward with so much p'ide as McGill University. [Cheers]. The coming of age of this University brought witu it additional responsibilities. In the first place, the University should be a teach- ing place where the youth could go and seek information in all departments of knowledge [lou4 applause], where men could he educated to fill any calling in life. To do this they rt quired a staff of the ablest men they could get — not only the ablest men that the country pos- sessed, but the best that money could get, the best tale t that they could get irres- pective of nationality. (Applause.) tie hoped that by the time of the next jubilee — n»mely, tbe ctntennial thinner — tlieir University would be known not only as a centre where men could come and get educ'«ti*>n, but a centre where men could find the means of extending the limits of knowledge. The graduates of MeGill University should look forward to the time when she would have her laboratories and all the neces- saries to give to students opportunities of individual and private research. Belerring to tbe large amount of work done by the professors. Dr. Osier said that the man who gave 12 or 13 lectures a week could not be expected to devote much time to original work with any proper degree of enthusiasm. He would give them "The University." The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Dr. Henderson then gaTe a song, atter which, Hon. JuBtice Mackaj responded as fol- lows : — I have to thank you and the graduates for your kind invitation to me to make one at your festive board this evening. 1 he sceue belore me leads me to comparisons ot things past with present, for I was raised in the time of no university and when tbe chief schools for the English part of the people, in Upper and Lower Canada, were only five or six. I confess to possessing little aca- demical experience beyoad what I have ac- quired in tbe past few years. In an after- dinner speech it will not do to sermonize; yet a very, very short retrospect may be excusable— I mean of aJairs pertaiuinii to our own Uuirersity. These have a beitei appearance than they had. The year past waB not unattended with some discourage* 1 i I / 1 i7 tarati owiag to diminished reioiircef, chieflf from the OTer>abandaDca of money, leading to a fall ill the rates of interest ou iuyest- ments, as you are aware, and as our worthy Principal has stated to duce salaries, if it could posHibly be avoided. It is flttine, while at-knowledging aid re. ceived, to allude particuUrly to the t>pleii- did gift, following upon many large though lesser ones in times past, of $30,000 fiom Mr. Vf, {J, McDinald Our prospects fur the future are brightening ; yet the work that might be done and omiit to be, if we only had the means, is l«rge. One Piece of such work is, as our Principal has several times sfated, a boarding and lodg- ing house for the students, a building in which each one would have his separate bedroom and study room; in the same build ing there is to be a large dining.hall and r m for exercising and public meetings. The Peter Redpatb Museum is fast approach- ing completion; it is proposed to he publicly opened about the 24th of August. It will be an ornament not only to the College grounds but to the city. May it long en- dure, a monument to the liberality and noble mindednesE of the donor. Ho oar to Peter Bedpath 1 The Bev. Professor Clark Murray was most warmly received on rising to respond in the name of the Prnfessors, for which he thanked tho Assembly very heartily. At this point the Bev. Dr. Sullivan, Bishop Elec) of Algoma, entered ihe roum, and was provided with a seat heside the speaker amid a storm of welcomes. The Bev. Professor Murray continued : — The Professors of the University had a good deal to be grat' graduates and the usefulness of the I>)- stitutiiin, and as some complained that the governors had already gimo too far, wtiile others complained that they had not gone far enough, it might be expected that they had struck tbo happy medium most desir- able in such a case. He referred with pride to the fact that our merchants were not Ul absorbed in the tai>k of inci easing their bank accounts, but that the immedinte ol>- ject of some of them was to promote high- er education in the community. He referred to the great civilizing effect of education as instanced by the history of Greece and Borne, and predicted an industrious and prosperous career for the University. Bev. E. I. Bezford in a very humble way as one of the fellows of the University said a word with reference to ibe work carried on, nd pointed to one feature to show the veiy areat love and affection the Graduates bad gvvi;rds the Fellows' remedy in returning to v.e last elections the representative fellc BOf former years. He also referred to the fact that in both science and litera- ture special merit was rewarded without tedious delay. Hh referred to the change in the Curriculum as one c.lculated to be highly beneficial, as tendinf; towards the production of better graduates in the future than the University has been able to pruduce in the past. Professor Moyse proposed the toast of II Our Sister Universities," and referred to the universal growth of education in Europe and on the continent. He held that the '< recent improvement" made by the governing body was looked upon with favour by all as most conducive to the growth of a liberal education. He called upcn the Hon. P. J. 0. ChauTeAU, who on rlslDg to respond was received with great applause, aad cries of En Anglais and En Ftancais He sttid tliut Kpeakiiij,' fi)r Livul Ij.- w tild addrt!.>8 tiio ineoiim? m French, i'ho toiist h'ld been received in a most pleasing miin- »er, and it was pecuUnrly giutifyini,' tliat the toast was gieeted with the popular English refrain "For they are jolly good fellows" The people he ropresenifd were of the French race, but they w-;re fond of tlia retrain.

Laval then is not to be feared by Mdiill, but to be considered as a friendly coinputi- tor in the saiu j wo k. lie bim.'eii»ionniit l bniui>nroii,-elt than an endowment, a chaM-, or a scholar- ship. He referred to matters pertaining to the University, which he believed iu its career to the peacelul S.iint Lawt-euco, be- stowing benefits throu^'hout its course. The toast brought forth the most enthu- siastic applause on tlie part of the audience. Mr. M. M. Tait, Q.C., then gave a song, which was loudly encored. Mr. George Hague, in responding, said that it was a great pity that in a wealthy city like Montreal, and for so small a sum aa $150,000 there should have been those measures of retrenchment that they heard of in the atternoon, and he hoped that before long this reproach would be wiped away. McQiU University was the greatest thmg^ that Montreal had to boast of. He leferred to tlie great aud honorable Faculty of Arts, which produced men fitted for every depattment of com- mercial and political life, which trained men that they might take their part in moulding the destiny cf the great northern part of this continent, which might be to the continent what our mother country was to Europe. [Applause]. They were all interested, as busmess men in the success of McGill University, and it was worth their time to devote money, time aud lab ur in advancing its interests. Ap- plause.) 'i'he Kev. Dr. Stevenson then proposed the toast « Canada." He alluded in mo^t com- plimentary terms to the election of the Rev, Dr. Sullivan to the Bishopric cf Algoma, and congratulated him on the ii.crea.sed ecclesiastical dignity and prominence which that position gave him. In accepting that position Dr. feulli an had committed aa act of faith and self-sacrifice, for which ih'iy sincerely admired him. (Applause.) In reterence to his leaving Moutreal, they con- doled one another and desired to express their very sincere regret that their society of which he had been so great an oinament would shortly lose him. [Applause]. He was very proud to propose this toast of Canada. Born, as he was, on the other side of the Atlantic, he was glad now to drop the name of Englishman aud to take the namo of a Canadian. They could be proud of Canada without belittling in the slightest degree any ol the otht r ns.tionalities. [Hear, hear]. They could cong-alulate England on her mighty his- tory ; they could point to the hi.story of j Scotland, that brave little land that gave I such great and brave men ; they could look ! across the Channel to Fair France, and see j a people who were fi;'st in the clear expiem- I sion of thou^iht, fiist in those ornamental j delicacies which helped so greatly tiio charmof social intercourse ; they could lonk to Germany, that seat cf learning, or acvuss j the Alps and glory iu the briglitne8.s of the luilitm sky, and in the sofc elegance of Italian literature ; and they could come to their own country, and boast of a sky as clear as the Italian sky, and a race which poured into their blood all the richest qualities of the Enelish, Scotch, French and Italian races. They must cougratulate themselves on the splendour of their cli- mate aud the grandeur of their territorial extent. Great nation" had been made hy some climatic P'^^culiarity, and Canada un- doubtedly possessed climatic advantages which alone would make of her a i;reat nation. He did not wish to speak unkindly of other histories, i ut we bad lights in our history that were like the Chevalier Bay- ard, men without fear and without repioach. F.ance and England had quarrelled and been enemies in the past, but they had now shaken bands over the sacred dust of tbeir 9 heroes, and In this OaiuMla of oun the iii« termingliag of tbeu two great natioaalities would be of great benefit. They bad had a Florious past, and they had a glorious prospect for tbe future. From Sarnia to Oavpe and rigbt away to the Pacific Ocean where was the man wbo could not breathe freely in this beautiful air of oars, where was the man who had grieT<- aoces that could not Teutilate them right to the fout of the throne. [Applause.] There was no exclusive class in Canada, every man bad perfect freedom in speech, free* dom in life and freedom in tue press. As a Protestant clergyman be could not forget the beroisai of those Catholic Missionaries who came to this country many years ago, and went into the wilderness and civilized the people. He concluded a most eloquent address by saying that tbcy bad only to preserve sacredly and earnestly their con. ftdence in Uim who was the source of all good things, and the giver of every bles< sing and they would then be a great na* tion in tbe time to com -. (Applause.) Dr. Louis H. Frechette, in reply, said it natural that tbe toast of ' Canada" having been proposed in English should be re- sponded to in French, since, as had beeo said by tbe eloquent speaker wbo had pro- posed tbe toast, our couatry had aa im- meose advantage in the rare good fortune of having been oiscovered, peopled, in- habited and developed by two of the tjreatest races in the world, the Anglo- Saxon and the French. This toast was one that called forth a response frw.m every heart. The name of one's country ban alwuys iubpired poets with their finest seutiujents, and all the puets of Canada have sung their native laud : from Cremaiie who sang on the battlements of ancient Quebec to the late poet and politician who cried, want tout je tuit Canadien, from that other reteran whose refrain wm Canada, monpayi, met amours, to the poet who sang of Ifos perei lortia de la France, Qui eherekaient loin de leur patrie, Une terre de la liberte. But it is not sufficient that a poet should have inspiration, but there must be tbe occasion to call it forth. He musi be under its direct influence. The proposer of the toast in recalling the noble heroes of the past, those men whose deeds made us de- lighted with the thought that this was our country, had furnished such an impulse, he thought be might repeat a few lines that he had composed upon a like occasion '.'— Et toi, de ces heros genereuse patrie, Sol Canadien qu'on alme avec idolatrie, Dans I'accompiissement d^ tous ces grands travaux. Quand Je pese la part que leCiel t'a donnee, Les yeux sur I'avenir, terre predestinee, J'ai fol dans tes destins uouveauz. Yes he had faith in the destiny of his coun- try, especially when he looked upon such institutions as McOill University, which had sprung from her soil, and were fastened under the banner of a glorious past, and in the hope of a great future. [Cheers]. On resuming his seat Mr. Frechette was greeted with loud calls of Soixanle-dix, in reHponse to which be repeated the words of his poem *' 1870," which wtre listened to with the profuuadest attention, and at tbe close gr eted with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Eugene Lafleur then sang " Sol Cana- dien." Professor J. E. Robidoux then proposed tbe toast ot « McQill in Pdrliament," which was eloquently re>ponded to by Mr. 0. W, Stephens, M PP. <> The Ladies," wbo have also been bene- factors of MuGiil University, were thea honoured, and the evening's proceudingi were brought to a close shortly after 12 o'clock.
