Under the judicious management of Principal Snodgrass
seconded by the harmonious and earnest efforts in the discharge
of their duties of his colleagues in the Senate, the University con-
tinued to occupy a high place in the estimation of the Country,
as a seat of learning confessedly inferior to no other in the Province.
Two free public Lectures on Astronomy were given in
the City Hall by the Director, and Observer, besides familiar lectures
in the Observatory.
Two gifts received this year deserve to be specially noticed.

Esq.e of Keppoch, to be applied to the endowment of a Third Professor-
ship in Theology; and Edward H. Hardy Esq.e, Kingston, founded
a Scholarship, for open Competition, of the annual value of $50,
in addition to the Close Scholarship of the same value
already founded by him.
