THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 61 



Alumni Association was then hardly five 3'ears old ; the first entertain- 

 ment, a dmner, had been successfully held the previous year. The 

 general interest in the young association was great. During Mr. Mc- 

 Intyre's incumbency a very comprehensive annual report was issued 

 jointly by the College and the Association ; the designs for the prize 

 medals were adopted and impcirtant changes in the Constitution and 

 By-Laws made. 



Shortly atfcrwards Mr. Mclntyre was elected President of the 

 College and while he did not hold office in the Alumni Association any 

 more his interest did not diminish — on the contrary. He attended 

 meetings faithfully and was at all times ready to give advice, to put in 

 hard work and relieve an exigency. He was chairman of the Com- 

 mittee which collected a sum of mone}- donated to the College to partly 

 defra\- the cost of the physical apparatus and again he was chairman of 

 the Committee which raised a handsome sum of money for the College 

 Building Fund. From 1905 on, he was our Honorary President. 

 Although old age had made its unmistakable imprint upon his features, 

 his mind was young, so young that in 1909 he accepted the chairman- 

 ship of the Ball Committee. Well do 1 remember one night in January, 

 1910. A meeting of the Committee had been called for 8:15. It was 

 a stormy night, an ice-cold wind drove snowflakes in one's face. As 

 I came to the door of the College I found Mr. Mclntyre standing on 

 the steps freezing almost trembling. The door was locked. He had 

 been waiting in that icy cold for almost fifteen minutes for fear to get 

 to the meeting too late. And when only two more members of the 

 Committee came, he remarked that he did not blame those who stayed 

 away on a night like that. There was his character revealed. Mind- 

 ful of others, he did not think of himself. An office, no matter how 

 trilling, once accepted was to him a sacred trust, an obligation which 

 had to be fulfilled at any cost, at any personal sacrifice, at all events. 

 \\'()rds cannot express what he has done for us, what he has been to 

 us. His character and life will live in the fragrance of a memory over 

 which death has no power. He gave to us his best and we are 

 grateful. 



To-night we recall the form and face of him who sank to rest with 

 the twilight and the stars. We rejoice that he was of us and with 

 us and shall remain with us enshrined in our hearts, until we, too, arc 

 summoned home.
