Hall, April 27th the scheme to raise a quarter of a

the Principal in every possible way in raising the necessary
amount. (See Q.C.J. Vol XIV pp 171-172). The scheme was
thus fairly launched, and with the close of the session
the work of collecting, began in serious earnest.

At the annual meeting of the Trustees, the by-laws
for the affiliation of Trinity Medical College with Queen's
University were finally adopted, and the Committee of
last year was re-appointed for discussing if necessary all
modifications in these by-laws with power to put the
same into effect. (For By=Laws see Senate Book p. 101)

The Portrait of Dr. Williamson was this
year presented to the College on behalf of
the ex-students of Queen's by Judge Macdonald
