A great impetus was given to the School of Mining
during this year through the aid extended by the
Ontario Government and by private benefactors. As a
result substantial improvements were made in the
Mining Building and additions to its equipment
greatly extending the facilities for work of Professor
DeCalb and the practical efficacy of the instruction
given to his students.

Reviewing the advances made
and the prospects of extension it may be said that
the century closed with a bright outlook for Queen's.

While changes have been made with care and
deliberation her friends and advisers have shrunk
from making such concessions as progressive growth
required. The effort to reform her constitution, and
thus meet the demands of the new century has
met with unanimous approval. The appointment
of an additional Professor in Theology another in
the School of Mining, and additions to the Staff in
Arts and Medicine are external signs of growth: the
spirits of the Graduates, the students, the Council
and the Trustees are more certain signs of the life
within: and both entitle her friends to enter on the
new century with the energy and hopefulness which
guarantee success. Quod felix faustumque sit.
