He liked the name Gan1ey, and used to tell with characteristic humour how it first came to be applied to him in his student days, when he came to class one day with a game eye, The Old Boys liked it. too, for they felt that the bearer of it was ganie, and they applied the nunn- to him in its double sense with a mingling of ziffer-tion and admiration. For the Old Boys of year 'BU when they return in years to COINS, there will always be much at the College that will be associated with his nieniory.

Behind the admiration and affection which the Old Boys feel for him, there is a genuine respect for him as an outstanding teacher. The Gym, too, will al- ways have its associations, and when as Old Boys your thoughts go baek to the hours you spent in sports, there will eome to mind the image of t'Ga1ney Uuwin. the lover of games,-engaged, it may be, in refereeing a boxing or wrest- ling bout. or demonstrating the best stroke in the swimming-tank, or discussing the line points of the latest tournament in lawn tennis. 1-nw mv--
