and was recognized as one of the ablest Chancery lawyers in
the country. From his student days to the end of his
life he took a keen and active part in the affairs of the
University. The occasions that called for service were not
a few, and he was ever ready to give a helping hand while
busy at the Bar, and on the Bench, he always contrived to
have a practical interest in the fortunes of his Alma Mater.
"His well-trained mind, and unimpeachable moral
character, were a constant source of strength to her", and
especially so during his long occupancy of the chief seat at
the Board. His Alma Mater is proud to have the "name
of Judge Maclennan" enrolled with those of her high-minded
representation and benefactors". A bronze, commemorating
his distinguished connection with the University, has
been placed in Convocation Hall.

Likewise the Board paid its tribute to the memory of
Sir Sandford Fleming. For thirty-five years he had been
the devoted, beloved Chancellor of the University. It rejoiced
to have felt for some many years the pulse of his long and useful
life, and noble character. His had been an active and splendid
career. Scottish born, he came in early manhood to Canada,
and at once identified himself closely with the public and
education interests of his adopted country. He loved the Old
Land, and he loved the new. He was again and again closely
connected with expeditions and ventures destined to play a
most important in the development and history of Canada.
