be Founding of the nivefffif NRCMDISHOP JOHN LYNCH, C M OF TORONTO, FOUNDER In a humble two-story frame building were held the first classes at Niagara. This annex to the Half Way House was subject to frequent visits by the chubby children of the tavern keeper. Often one of them would wander in with jam-besmeared countenance to distract both teacher and pupils. At other times, lectures were interrupted by one or another of the urchins seeking aid in putting an unruly button in its proper place. Such were conditions in the early days of the University. Many were the problems which confronted the founder and his assistants. Persevering, they overcame these difficulties, and in their tenacity, set a tradition for those Who followed them. Theirs is a shining example to us, who have made Niagara our home.
