MGILL COLLEGE.
One Of the great institutions of Mon
treal is McGul college, where ! found
the ancient Gazette. To have SO great
a university non-sectarian, but Profess
tant, in so strong q Catholic city as
Montreal, is something notable. 1t

James McGiu Of his homestead Of forty
acres of land in the now heart of the
city. and $4,000 in money. After many
Giscoura gements it has now reached
vast proportions with magnificent
buildings dotted all over the grounds,
erected at a cost of $500, 900; $4,000 vol
umes in the library and LOO students
