Another death which filled our hearts with sincere and profound grief during the past winter was that of the late
Sir James Mtjsorave, Bart.,
d.l.,
founder of the Musgrave Chair of Pathology.
Few men in our community were so esteemed or trusted.
None were more convinced of the value of education, and none more anxious to advance it.
The Musgrave Chair will be a perpetual memorial of him within our walls.
Nor can we soon forget his interest in our
" Better Equipment Fund" from the time of its establish¬ ment, nor the many other kindly actions by which he evinced his sympathy with our work.
Our academic body sadly followed his remains to their final resting-place, and they feel that they have, indeed, by his demise, lost a friend.
The following resolution was placed upon the Minutes of Council to record for all time our estimate of his character and our loss.
" Resolved— " That we place on record our profound sorrow at the death of Sir James Musgrave, Bart.,
d.l..
and our sincere sympathy with his sister and brothers in their bereavement, and that we also record our sense of the heavy loss which the community has sustained by the demise of a citizen so public-spirited and large-hearted, and the College by the decease of a benefactor so thoughtful and so munificent.
His constant readiness to assist us in our times of need we can never forget, and the splendid help which he gave in the establishment of the fund for the better equipment of the College, and, in particular, by the foundation of " The Musgrave Chair of Pathology," rendered a service to us and to science the value of which it would be difficult to over-estimate."

of the University of Leipzig.
There were twenty-six candidates for the office, some of them men of high eminence and scholarship.
At a time when modern languages are occupying a more and more important position in the educational world, it is of great importance that this chair should be suitably and ably filled, and I am happy to report that the new professor has, since his appointment, been devoting himself to his work with zeal, ability, and acceptance.
