SAPIENTIA ET DOCTRINA STABILITAS

It was further resolved, that a Petition to the Legislature
be prepared to be signed by the Chairman of the Board praying
for an amendment of the 3rd and 5th subsection of § 286 of the
Act regarding Municipalities in Upper Canada, 22nd Victoria
ch. 54, and that the same powers be given to the Councils of every
County, City, and Town separated from the County for Municipal
purposes, to pass bye laws of a similar nature for the encouragement
of learning among the youth of the Province in connection with other
Chartered Universities therein."

Similar petitions were presented to the Legislature by the
Universities of Trinity, and Victoria, and a Select Committee of the
House of Assembly was appointed to consider them, to take evidence
regarding the matters referred to, and to report. During the Session
of Parliament in 1860, Evidence was laid before the Committee, fully
confirming the malversation and extravagance alleged, and printed
with other Sessional papers in 1862, and there was good reason
to expect, that the Legislature would interpose to remedy in an
effectual manner the injustice and evils complained of.

On Thursday, 26th April 1860, - after oral, and writ-
ten examinations, the Senatus agreed to confer
the Degree of M. A. on Daniel James Macdonnell,

1859-60
