remarking it wee very mtlsfactory that the certificates
were not awarded for any local knowledge, but by those
to whom the students are entirely unknown. That
removed any doubt as to their !wing thorough and genuine,
that the recipients had taken pains and deserved the
awards. (Applause.)
Mr. J. J. R. 811011/1 proposed a vote of thanks to the
committee, which was at once carried.
Mr. T. S. Gwyn said the soul of this institution is the
hon. esa. Mr. Arden, and next comes the treasurer, Mr.
R. Eliot, to both of whom they owed thanks. Though

But the science of bolding construction is very import-

the foundation, hal none to the superstructure, and
must put up a scaffold That scaffold must be the library

urgent appeal is mans to the public, showing the good
these schools do, it wit meet • hearty respoiew.
