﻿Address. 399 



Governors, Principal and Fellows of McGill University in 

 the Peter Eedpath Library. After addresses of welcome 

 had been made, the visitors were conducted in parties 

 through the various buildings of the University, and, 

 gathering at one o'clock in the William Molson Hall, sat 

 down to a cold collation. After lunch carriages were 

 in waiting to convey the party to Mount Eoyal Park, and 

 on their return five o'clock tea was served in the Library. 

 Some of the members went on to Ottawa that night, 

 others leaving Montreal for Toronto direct on Tuesday, 

 and on Wednesday morning the regular meetings began 

 in Toronto. 



During the last few years Montreal and Toronto have

 these people learn much of Canada that they did not 

 know before. We are always glad to receive such friends, 

 but it was with peculiar pleasure that we welcomed 

 the members of the two British Associations during 

 the last summer. May it not be long till we do so again !
