 THE J. ROSS ROBERTSON PRIZES 
 
 AT, 
 
 UPPER CANADA COLLEGE. 
 
 THE LIST OF WINNERS OF THE ABOVE PRIZES 
 
 FROM 1883-94 INCLUSIVE. 
 
 Upper Canada College, 
 
 after a 
 session 
 
 most sue- 
 on June 
 
 cesaful year, closed its 
 30th. The examinations were in pro$;;ress 
 daring the closing week, and the awards 
 have been made. Last week the examina- 
 tions for the J. Ross Robertson prizes were 
 held. The calendar of the College gives the 
 following as the conditions of these prizes : 
 
 "The J. Ross Robertson prizes. Books to 
 the value of $150 are annually presented to 
 the College by J. Ross Rohertsob, Esq. , to 
 be awaided in each form of the College for 
 proficiency in Canadian history and geo- 
 graphy. No boy will be allowed to take 
 two prizes in the same school — that is, he 
 may take it once in the lower, once in the 
 middle, and once in the upper hchool, and to 
 be eligible for the prize in tne upper school 
 he must be a pupil of the College for at loast 
 a year." . 
 
 It is understood that the competition 
 has been keen, and that the papers on 
 Canadian histoiy and geography, prepared 
 by an independent examiner appointed by 
 Mr. Robertson himself, show that in | 
 no school in the country are students 
 better grounded in the history of their own 
 country. Mr. Dickson, the Principal, in 
 speaking of these piizes, said :— "This has 
 been the most satisfactory examination, so 
 far as the quality of the boys' work indicates, 
 th«t 1 have ever seen in the College." These 
 prizes were first given in 1883, and until 
 1886 were confined to the upper, middle and 
 
 lower schools, after which they were increas- 
 ed so as to cover the entire Olloge. 
 
 From 1883 until 1894 about 20(10 volumes 
 have been distributed in these prizes. The 
 books embraced history, science, art, poetry, 
 and standard literature, including sets of 
 encyclopedias, Waverley novels, Tennyson's 
 works and others of the best class of reading.
