[Letterhead - Top] SAPIENTIA ET DOCTRINA STABILITAS

1902-03

The appointment to the Chair of French Language and
Literature, which was vacant since the diversion of the
Chair of Moderns, was now made, the choice falling on
Mr. P. G. G. Campbell, B.A. of Oxford at a salary of
$2,000 per annum.
Mr. R. A. Wilson, M.A, was appointed Fellow and Tutor
in Mental Philosophy, James Wallace, M.A., in Hebrew,
and J. M. MacEachran, M.A., in Moral Philosophy, each
at a salary of $400.00 for the ensueing session.
Their duties would be to examine essays, both extra-mural
and intra-mural, do such tutorial and other teaching
as the Professors of those subjects might direct, and also
pursue some post-graduate study free of expense.
Notwithstanding Prof. Dupuis' omnivorous passion for work,
the rapidly increasing numbers in the study of
mathematics and astronomy made an assistant
imperatively necessary, and Mr. John Matheson, M.A.,
a graduate of distinction, and of professional standing,
was given that important position, beginning with
a salary of $1,000 a year.
On the need being mentioned, a Transit Instrument for the
Astronomical Observatory was procured, and several
small appropriations were made the other departments
to meet pressing necessities.
