REV. PRINCIPAL JOHN MACNEILL, DD. The passing ol the Principal ol Theology on February 'lO, 1937, removed from the University a beloved teacher, and from the religious life ot Canada a leader vvhose lame as a preacher was in every place. -lo Rev. John lVlacNeill many honours came, from the day he became minister of First Baptist Church, Winnipeg, but it vvas his tvventy-four years From 1906 to T930 in the pastorate of Walmer Road Baptist Church, Toronto, that made his chief reputation. For many years that spacious building vvas Filled to capacity by people eager to hear one vvho made the things ol Christ clear and compelling, When he came to the stahf ol lVlclVlaster, Dr. lVlacNeill vvas President ot the Baptist World Alliance, and part of his First tvvo years as Principal had necessarily to be spent touring abroad. But he succeeded Wonderfully in setting his hand to the nevv tasl4 ol training men to preach, and the students who passed through his hands were given a searching, thorough, l4indly discipline. l-le belonged to the vvhole University, hovvever, lor even those students who never met him in the class-room vvere proud ol his place in the church lile ol the nation, and valued his influence upon their ovvn religious lite. The student body ol 1937 mourns this great graduate of the class ol 1896 vvhose going cast so deep a shadow across the lite ol lVlclVlaster this year.
