Dr. Geo. Leclere occupied the chair and, in the name of the 
Council of Agriculture, presented the diplomas. He expressed 
the great pleasure it gave him to be present at this the sixteenth 
convocation of the College, having been at the first. During the 
period the college had been in existence the progress had been 
most marked and encouraging, for, notwithstanding the fact that 
three sessions of six months were required, there had been a steady 
increase in the number, which this session was 43, and there had 
also been an improvement in the educational standing of the stu¬ 
dents. As one of the examiners, he was particularly satisfied 
with to-day’s examination. 
Mr. David Morrice presented the prizes, and was followed by 
addresses from Prof. Osier and Dr. G. O. Baudry, who ad* 
dressed the students in French. The farewell remarks were made 
by Principal McEachran.
