across the Eastern wall, with provision for 5000
books: and it was suggested in view of the increased
accommodation in the proposed new buildings, to
appropriate the adjouning classroom for the use
of the Library and to turn the Students reading
room into a 'consulting Room.'

On the evening of November 1st
the formal opening of the Theological classes took
place, accompanied by two events of special interest.
The first was the installation of the Rev Samuel
McComb, M.A. (Oxon) to the chair of Ecclesiastical
History and History of Doctrine and the delivery by
him of a brilliant inaugural lecture. The
second was the present to the University of the
portrait of Dr Watson by his honor graduates in
Philosophy, as a token of affectionate appreciation
of his services. The presentation was made by the
Rev. John Hay on behalf of the donors and was
followed by an address in which Dr. Watson
reviewed the work he had done at Queen's and
the objects of Philosophy. (See Q.C. J. Nov 9 pp. 38.)
