In the course of the year, 15th, July, the Rev. Professor Mowat, D.D., was taken away by death. A distinguished graduate of the University, and afterwards, for 43 years, Professor of Hebrew Language and Literature, and some-time Professor of New Testament and Church History, and also Registrar, his loss was much felt and regretted.
This minute was adopted by the Board of Trustees: "The University mourns the loss of Professor Mowat, the oldest member of the teaching staff, he having served the institution faithfully and long. By his good judgment, modest bearing, and unfailing courtesy, he earned the high regard of his colleagues in the Senate. By his ripe scholarship, painstaking fidelity and enthusiasm for Oriental studies, he begot in his students a taste for the language of the Old Testament, while by the devotedness of his spirit he set before them a highly impressive Christian ideal. By the lofty character he displayed among men generally he bore witness to whatever was just and lovely and of good report, and prepossessed them in favour of the religion which he taught. His memory will be long cherished warmly by all who were brought in contact with him."
