IklMlV LOLLHGK SCIIUUL RIXCJRI). 19 ©l 3C o iii ' a!?£?ocintion. Wc pul)li.- h III this iiuiiilicr ,1 list ui iIk»c will) have paid llicir Mihscriplioiis to the Old Hoys ' Association for the year ending Speech Day iSyS. . The Hon. -Sec, we may add, will be j;;lad to receive subscriptions froni old boys who have neglected to pay their fees, and expresses a iiojie that those in good standing may induce others to follow their example In this connection, we may call attention to the fact that up to the pre- sent time there has been but one life member of the Association,— the lute Mr. S. C I ' eck — and remind our readers that old boys can attain to this dignity by the payment of twenty-five dollars. The objects of the Association, as stated in its constitution, are to aflord a bond of union and means of communication among those who have been connected with the School ; t.j miint-iiii the intirest of old boys in the School ; to promote the success and effi- ciency of the School ; and to preserve and perpetuate School records and traditions, and to encourage cricket and other sports. Something has been done towards the attain- ment of each of these objects. The annual mee.in .s at the School, the general meetings ill T.jiMt ' i, the Rover.s ' tour of last summer, and the dinner at Ciiristm.is have all served to strengthen the bond of union already existing between old boys. Mauy old boys have had their thoughts turned towards the School, and have been reminded of the days that are no more by means of the .Association. Old boys, incited thereto by the existence of the Association, have done what they could towards sending boys to the School, and to their efforts may be attrihutud tiie pre-ence of several boys now with us. As the Head Master has often snid, our best advertisement is the favourable opinion expressed by old boys. The Association h.ns obtained repre- sentation on the governing body, and through their representative hns initiated more than one measure which, it is hoped, will promote the success and efficiency of the School. On the Honour lioards, finally, our most interesting records are preserved and perpetuated and will, we may hope, encourage the present generation to imitiate the example of their predeceNS; rs. and to hand untarnished to their successors the best traditions of the School. .

i.S TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. Rvidfiitly the words in our last numher anuiil .subscriplions have had an effect, for tlie Treasurer tells us that he has received botne 50 or 60 subscri[)tioiis since April. This is satisf;ictory, but we hope to have a slill larger number to atld to our list before the suninier closes. Among others we have to acknowledge a very generous subscription of $ 5.00 from Dr. Wni. Osier of John ' s Hopkins University. Among the list of Birthday Honours was one which must place the recipient in an almost uniciue position among Head .Masters. We refer, of course, to the (J. .Vl.Ci. conferred upon Dr. Parkin, and we beg to offer him and U. C. C. our hearty congratulations. Those who heard his speech at the C). B. dinner are not likely to forget it soon, and we re-echo his words that the two Schools, instead of being rivals, are working on the same lines to a common end. We regret to announce that Mr. May is leaving us this term to resume parochial work. Since he has been at T. C. S. he has made many friends, especially among the smaller boys, by his kindness and his interest in them and their pursuits. Ihe Camera Club, too, will miss a clever and enthusiastic member. He rakes with him the School ' s best wishes for his success and a warm wel- come will always await him here. Just as we go to press the news comes that the honour of F.R.S. has been conferred on Dr. Wm. Osier, our most distinguished Old Boy. We congratulate him most heartily. TRINITY COLLEGE LETTER. To ihe Editor of ihe TKt.siTV C ' lLMiGE School Reo kd. Mv De. r Sir, — It is hard to realize that a goodly portion of the best of all terms at Trinity has already become as a tale that is told ; with a hideous lime-table, a veritable pest-sign, staring at us from the notice boards, it is somewhat easier to grasp the idea that we are confronted once more by the Kxams., that inevitable and tragic con- clusion to the Kaster term ' s enjoyment. We should like every T. C. S. hoy to see Trinity now, that he might be im))ressed by the prospects of what the Alma Mater can give her sons. It is impossible lo exaggerate the natural beauties of our surroundings, — the campus, ravine, and flower-decked ter- races. Tile Queen ' s Birthday passed off very successfully, the cricket match with Toronto being, of course, the main feature of the day ' s amusements. In the afternoon we had an orchestra on the terrace, which also pro- vided music for an informal and jolly dance in Convocation Hall from five to seven o ' clock. Quite a number of people came out notwithstanding the attraction of the races and in the evening we had a display of rockets and fireworks. Our n.xet cricket match is on Thursday, June 2nd, with U.C.C to be followed by the ' arsity match on Saturday on Varsity ' s campus. . Mready we have played six matches, viz. — Woodbine C.C., St. Alban ' s C.C., Parkdale C.C., Toronto C.C., Hamilton C.C. and T.C.S. C.C. The first eleven are loud in their praises of the trip to Port Hope and the good hospital- ity extended them by masters and boys. It is such jaunts as these that bring the College and the School into closer touch, making still stronger the bonds of fellowship already existing between us. The last few sets in the tennis tournament are now being played off and the results will soon be known ; the courts are in good con- dition and there has been more tennis this term than for some seasons past. Golf has relapsed for the time being but will probably be taken up again as we have very fair links. The College loses several good men in the graduating class of ' 98 but we are glad to know that a number will remain with us to pursue their studies in divinity. On June ist we are anticipating a rare Ueat in the coming of Mr. Oilbert Parker, whose advent is doubly ap[)reciated by us as Mr. Parker is a Trinity man of whom we are all most justly proud. His subject is to be ' The Art of Fiction instead of The High- est Education as first announced. Outside of cricket, tennis and the wails attendant upon the nearness of Exams., there is little to chronicle so our letter this time must of necessity be brief. With best wishes for all success. Most sincerely yours, Trinity Coi.lecie.

20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECv.. Mr. Sbortt ' s Lecture. A nio.st interesting lecture was given on May 1 6th by Rev ' d. C H. Shortt on the Trinity Mission to Japan. The lecturer hriclly sketched the eventful history of the last 30 years and the marvellous change which they have wrought in the Empire. He very aptly compared Japan to our own Mother (Jountry, and pointed out how neces- sary it is to put into the field and maintain a well equipped band of missionaries while the Japanese are willing to be taught by Europeans and the dc or is still open to foreigners. More than that, the Japanese, he said, were almost the only means and certainly the best, of reaching the millions of Chinese because, though differing widely from them, they are still of the same family. One point which the lecturer made impressed us strongly, the impossibility of coping with the forces of Buddhism and Shintoism, which have been entrenched for ages in Japan, unless our missionaries have liberal support. U ' e cannot hope to draw the people from the stately temples that rise in every direction to a poor hovel of mud and paper; and surely the I ' .uddhist may well retort that, if the Xtianity preached by the missionaries is real, those who send thi-m will see to it that the temple of that which thev preach to be the true and only religion will be at least as worthy as that of the belief which they denounce. His plea that what is Trinity ' s work must also be ours will meet, we hope, with a willing and liberal response ; all the more so when we remember that we have a peculiar interest in Japan because Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Rowe, Kakuzen and Ken- nedy, who are working there, all belong, so to speak, to T. C. S. The sermon on Speech Day will be preached by Rev. Prof. Roper of the General Theological Seminary, New York. Many of us know Prof. Roi)er personally, and such a warm friend of the School will be heartily welcomed. We have great pleasure in ofTcr- ing him our sincere congratulations on the degree of D. D. which has been conferred on him by the Seminar . tin- Head Master rc.nd a paper on The Rise and Progress of Entomology in Canatia. He was unanimously elected Vice-President ol Section IV — (ieologlcal and liiological Sciences: — for the ensuing year. The Rev, Professor Clark, of Trinity Uni- versity, ' I ' oronto, a member of the Governing Body, was elected Vice-President of the whole Society, as well as of Section ii — English Literature, History, Archaelogy, etc. He will, no doubt, in accordance with cus- tom, become President of the Society in the year 1900, the most distinguished honour that can be conferred in this country upon those who are eminent in literature ' or science. Tlie fo lowing boys are taking the various Examinations this year : Trinity University — C. E. Duggan, F. W. Rolph. McGill University — H. (t lirunton, E. A. Hammond, H. Votherspoon. R. M. C— G. T. HamiUon, C. T. Jen- nings, R. J. McLaren, H. F. Osier, F. W. B. Ridout. The Examiners this year are : — Classics — Rev. J. S. Broughall, M. A. Divinity — Rev. Herbert Symonds, M. A. Mathematics — C. H. McGreedy, M. A. and V R Hitchens, Esq., M. A. Eiiglish— W. R. Hitchins, Esq. M. A. At the Annual meeting of the Royal So- ciety of Canada held in Ottawa, May 25-27, Several Old Boys have come down lately on visiting elevens, and given us the pleasure of welcoming them to the Old School. Myles Hamilton came down to play for Mr. Watson ' s xi ; and on the Toronto-Rosedale xi there were H. W. Beatty { ' So ' Sj), P. E Henderson ( ' 92- ' 95) and H. Morris ( ' 88-93) all four having played on the School xi in previous years. By the way we must con- gratulate Henderson on being elected to a place on the Committee of the R. T. C. C, We have very great pleasure in congratulat- ing Mr. M. J. C. Meiklejohn, a master from 1 889-1 890, on his engagement and wish him every happiness. Since he has left us .Mr. Meiklejohn has been granted the dis- tinguished honour of F. R. G. S. and has been lately published several geographical manuals which have received high praise from educational and other journals.
