et seq.

The University during the summer saw
one of its oldest and most valued members removed
by death. Dr Mowat, the fiftieth
anniversary of whose entering the ministry had
been commemorated by the Presbytery of Kingston
at the Spring Convocation passed away on the
15th of July. Dr Mowat was one of Queen's earliest
students, and since 1857 had been a professor
in the University and through all struggles and
vicissitudes had been one of her staunchest friends.
His great learning, his unwearied patience and
energy and his unobtrusive and constant kindness
had always been felt and appreciated by those who
were brought into contact with him. On his death,
Dr Jordan, who had for the last year been acting as
coadjutor professor in Old Testament Criticism and
Hebrew, succeeded to the Chair. Three other appointments
must be mentioned. Hon L. H. Gill, BA of
Sc. (McGill) ws appointed to the Chair of Mechanical
and Electrical Engineering in the School
of Mining. Mr C.R. McInnes, a graduate of
Queen's who had taken a post-graduate course at
Johns Hopkins, was appointed for the session to a
lectureship in Applied Mathematics and Dr.
Waddell to a lectureship of Industrial Chemistry.
