The regular business being completed the President 

 introduced Professor Kenneth Bell, B.A., University of 

 Toronto, subject being Sea Power in British History in 

 the Seventeenth and Enghteenth Century. The learned 

 gentleman proceeding, offered some apologies for being 

 perhaps a little Britieh, but assured the audience that he 

 would not m the treatment of his subject be jingoistic and 

 in part said that Julian Corbett, in hie history of the past 

 ages, showed the clearness and method with v.'ihch Chat- 

 ham waged hisi victorious conflict against France. He 

 showed immense shrewdnees and ability, and it was due 

 to his efforts, largely that the foimdation of the Empire was 

 laid. The speaker also related many of the historic events 

 of the past, and showed how the vast sea power of the 

 Empire had protected the colonies. When Ireland and 

 Scotland were united with England that was the greatest 

 thing the Empire has seen, and helped more than anything 

 else to make the British Empire what it is. 



At the close of the lecture Mv. Child moved and Dr. 

 J. Baugh seconded a vote of thanks. Mr. Child, Dr. 

 Baugh and Mr. H. B. Witton each spoke at length in re-
