This book is deriirated to the memory of the Iale Hon. C. Howard Ferguson who was installed in his ojice as Chancellor ofthe University at Corworatiorz last bloy. CDz'eo' Feb. 21, 19461 UMR. FERGUSON HAS ALWAYS been a strong convincing advocate of higher education and during his regime as Minister of Education and Prime Minister, he supported it liberally. He saw with more than ordinary clearness that higher education must be some- what decentralized if its facilities are to be offered to all the people of the province. That is one of the reasons why he supported -the University of Western Ontario which is devoted primarily to the district of VVestern Ontario. Over the years hundreds of students from that district have been able to attend university who otherwise would not have been able to go to the University of Toronto or other institutions. He has been Chancellor of the University for less than a year but during that short time he has given the university a devoted attention to service that has made him outstanding among chancellors. -QPresident Fox in the London Free Press, Feb. 21, 1946.5 6
