this magazine was another proof of the vitality of Queen's
and of her expansion. The question had arisen as to
the advisability of closer relations between the University
and the Church. In the previous year a proposal
had been made to the General Assembly that, as it seemed
evident to the Trustees that the spirit of the charter required
that no one should be appointed a professor of the Theological
Department of the College who might be considered
unsuitable by the Church, such appointments
should be reported to the Assembly, after they were made and
be subject to its veto. The Assembly in receiving the report,
recorded "its grateful appreciation of the Board of Trustees" in
making the proposal. It also referred to the Board the
Report of the Committee on the Relations of the Colleges to
the Church, with a request to give it careful consideration and
report their opinion of its recommendations to the next General
Assembly". After a year's consideration of the subject, the Trustees
reported the following fuller statement of their proposal. They
suggested that the Theological Professors should be appointed
by the Trustees, subject to the veto of the General Assembly, and
that no such professor should enter upon his duties until
after the meeting of the Assembly next succeeding the date of
his appointment. The Trustees submitted that this proposal
gave a better guarantee for control than the alternative proposal
of appointment by the Assembly on nomination by a
Board. Under this arrange[ment]
