IxXXViii PROCEEDINGS. 



Dr. A. H. Mac Kay, Superintendent of Education for the 

 Province, desired to put on record the highly valued work of 

 MacGregor for the Public Schools, as Provincial Examiner in 

 the scientific subjects of the Provincial High School Program, 

 from 1893 to his departure for Edinburgh in 1901. 



The President on bringing the meeting to a close said: 



Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen: — 



Dr. Mackenzie has given us exactly what I hoped he 

 would, an appreciation of MacGregor the man and an account 

 of the work of MacGregor the scientist. Dr. Mackenzie has 

 stated clearly to us the nature of the contributions to science 

 made by MacGregor, as well as shown us that he had pro- 

 nounced views on the Philosophy of Science. 



As regards the place of science in education in Nova 

 Scotia, Professor MacGregor seems to have been a pioneer; 

 and it is fitting that we should remember the work of all 

 pioneers, especially that of him who was one of the brightest 

 ornaments of the premier University of this Province. 



I consider it a privilege to have been entitled to be in the 

 chair this evening, a chair once occupied by MacGregor him- 

 self, and I regard it as an honor that it has fallen to me to 

 take some part in a ceremony that has been designed for the 

 special purpose of honoring him. 



On motion of the President, seconded by His Honor 

 the Lieutenant Governor, a unanimous vote of thanks was 

 passed to the donor of the portrait.
