from the former declining to be a candidate for the position
Mr. Fleming was declared elected unanimously, to the great
satisfication of all concerned. The formal re-installation
of the Chancellor took place at the annual convocation in

Mr. John McIntyre thanking Mr. Sandford Fleming for
his generosity and unvarying kindness during the past

of the Board of Trustees in the place of the
Hon. John Hamilton, and the following Trustees
were selected for four years. D.B. McLennan M.A. Q.C. , Rev.
R.J. Laidlaw, Sandford Fleming C.C. C.M.G,
