op 1 'bf at 1 Nj K DEDICATION SIR ROBERT FALCONER: lt is the wish of the Graduating Class of the University of Toronto to dedicate to you this number of TORONTONENSIS. In doing so it is our hope that you may interpret our action as a symbol of the affectionate regard in which you are held by the whole student body. In this respect we believe that we are merely representative of the successive generations of undergraduates who have passed through the University during the quarter century which has elapsed since you assumed the presidency. At the mass meeting, held in Convocation Hall on February 29, we tried to express to you something of the deep respect and admiration and gratitude which your leadership has inspired in us, and in dedicating this volume to you we wish to confirm and place on record our testi- mony of profound appreciation of your years of devoted service. In a great university it is not possible for many of the undergraduates to come into close personal contact with the President. Nevertheless, we would have you believe that we have been very conscious of the influence which you have exerted on our lives, however inadequately we may be able to assess the value of your services to the University. By example and pre-cept you have held before us an ideal of plain living and high thinking, of free speculation and research, of devotion to the things which are beautiful and true and of good report. And now when you are about to lay down the heavy responsibilities of your high office, we beg respectfully to offer to you this expression of our gratitude and of our pride in your achievements. It is our hope that in the years that lie before you the memory of the abiding influence which you have exerted on the character of the University of Toronto may be to you a perennial source of satisfaction, and that in reviewing your more strenuous days you may feel that it is Enough if Jomeiliizzg from our handr have power To Zizfe and act and ffrwe thefutzzrf hour.
