OUR more years have trooped out on the stage of life,

have played their petty parts, and have bowed them¬

selves out again, and the open season of the Year

Book is once more with us.

The “raison d’etre” of this volume, lest any of us forget, is to

preserve in a tangible form some few of the glad impressions

which have come to us in this all too brief cycle of College life, and

to foi'ge a chain of comradeship that the coming years shall strive

in vain to break.

We have done our little best, and we hope we’ve partly pleased

you. After you have made a generous allowance for our many

shortcomings, if an idle moment finds you able to discern a smile

of welcome and of friendship tucked away among these pages—

that shall be our token that we have not wholly failed.

To those who gladly gave their time and talent,—our hearty

thanks. To each and every one of you,—Good Luck!

—The Year Book Committee.

HE GRADUATES of '15 leave the halls of Queen's amid the stir of men preparing to take part in the greatest war of

history. This of itself makes the year memorable. Some are sanguine enough to expect that the war will not

continue through another winter; but, even though the only terms of peace our Empire would accept may not be

quite so near at hand, this present year is unique in experience and in calls for service.

Already this unparalleled conflict has greatly affected our views of life and duty. It has called 11s to recognize

the service we owe to our country, the claim resting upon us to maintain and defend our national honour and freedom. It has led 11s

into larger views of our citizenship as Canadians, and of our relations as sons of the Empire. Many have formed a new conception

of their country in finding it worth dying for, and a new idea of their own life in becoming conscious that they are willing to die for

their country.

We are not surprised that University students should respond to this call, and we are glad that Queen's was the first among

Canadian Universities to be represented in the fighting force of the Empire. To those of '15 who have already gone, and to those who

yet may go to do battle for our national ideals and interests, for the cause of liberty, honour and righteousness, Queen's whole-heartedly

bids Godspeed.

Yet, while the courage of some impels them to offer their service in the firing line as soon as they can find a place there, conditions

may constrain others to let their courage express itself in home defence and to maintain the less exciting, but not less needful work

from which the nation derives the sinews of war. But the experience of this conflict will be largely lost upon us unless it serves, like

the refiner's flame, to deliver 11s from the dross of self-indulgence and from the love of ease and indolence, and fires our spirits to

higher service and self-sacrifice.

Queen’s may well expect that the graduates of '15 will receive a permanent impulse to the sendee of their country from the

experience of this memorable year, and in that hope she lays upon them her fervent benediction as she bids them Good-bye.

WILL be impossible henceforward to level at Universities the charge that they are unpractical, and unfit men for

the more serious business of life. The most tremendously practical situation has arisen within the Empire the

need to defend its very existence—and in response the student world has risen to a sense of its duty, as hardly any

other section of the community has done.

The facts are worth a little attention. Every college has now its list of those volunteering, those accepted,

those who are fighting; and one by one they are beginning to add the names of those who have fallen. The most significant figures

come from the two Universities, which, though English, stand as no others do for the whole Empire,—Oxford and Cambridge. The

latest list from Cambridge contains over seven thousand names of graduates and undergraduates serving with the forces; and the most

famous of Cambridge colleges, Trinity, has contributed almost two thousand to that number. In Oxford, where the official numbers

have been calculated on rather a different basis, the general result is the same. Taking the men in residence during the year 1913-14,

one college, Oriel, has eighty-eight per cent, of the men in service; Magdalen, where the Prince of Wales was an undergraduate,

has over eighty-four per cent., and practically all have given their country more than half their numbers. Nor are the sacrifices confined

to non-teaching members of the University. Already one can read letters from college Fellows acting as scout-masters, and planning

daring assaults on German trenches; and those who cannot go into the trenches are cutting down their salaries for the general good.

Wherever one turns, the news is the same. The Edinburgh medical school contributed to the casualty list in such naval disasters

as the sinking of the Hawke, or the three cruisers torpedoed at one stroke by submarines; the Principal of Aberdeen travelled South

recently to preach a farewell sermon to Aberdeen men about to leave Bedford for the front; and we are proud to think that our own

college has already men in the trenches, and that the main body of her Engineers will shortly join the others. It is even

more noteworthy that the women of the Empire have proved themselves adequate to the crisis. Mothers and sisters, whose sons or

brothers have been wounded or killed, cheerfully, but not light-heartedly, bid those who remain tyke the places left vacant. “How you

must long to be over here—on active service,” writes one whose brother is in the very fore-front of battle, in a destroyer flotilla, and one

of whose sons fell severely wounded at Ypres. This is indeed a struggle in which college women have a very real part to play, by

keeping up a steady courage, and showing men how to combine depth of feeling with cheerful courage.

The call is on all of us who are college-bred, to prove our capacity for leadership without delay and without regrets or hesitation.

The day is over when discussion can serve any useful purpose. We are in a life and death struggle. We are in it through no guilt of

our own. Honour, and even religion, have drawn us in; and for the sake of human progress we must stay in till the last telling blow

has been struck, and the world rescued from a militarist reign of terror. To different men come different calls, but every member of

the year '15—the critical year of all history—must find some opportunity for self-dedication, and at the end must have proved his or

her right to the esteem of friends and fellow-citizens by definite service rendered to the country. And the service must be done in cheerfulness, simplicity, and self-forgetfulness.

12

There is, however, another aspect of the duty of the University which may be neglected in the more obvious and stirring appeal

to serve in arms. When the war is over, there will come the time of reconstruction. The generation which begins its business or

professional life this year will be the generation selected to lay new foundations for society. The wastage of War is unspeakably

great, but that wastage can be entirely restored if the present generation undertakes the task with all its force of heart and nerve and

sinew. It will be a task which extends from the reshaping of world policy to the lessening of infant mortality in our great cities.

But Mr. Asquith, in a great speech at Dublin last September laid down certain fundamentals which all of us, and more especially all

college men and women, must consider. It was a programme for the "enthronement of public right as the governing idea of European

politics.” Public right he defined as including the repudiation of militarism, the defence of smaller nationalities, and "the substitution

for force, for the clash of competing ambitions, for groupings and alliances and a precarious equipoise, of a real European partnership

based on the recognition of equal rights, and established and enforced by a common will."

In the first place, we of the present college generation must see to it that militarism, whether in its German or its British form,

must be killed. It is pitiful to think that already, on at least two occasions in our University, the friends of peace have been attacked,

and the crudest form of militarist propaganda thrust on our attention. It may not be possible to slay the monster at a stroke; but on

the present generation of college men is laid the duty of discouraging all who still call for "blood and iron.” and of educating the

children of to-day to love peace, and ensue it. If we fail there, then all our sacrifices will have been made in vain.

The second duty of our college generation must be to safeguard the weaker nations and defend the rights of oppressed

nationality. To Canada it has been given to grow to nationhood without a struggle, and, while possessed of independence, to share in

all the glories of Empire. We have grown selfish, callous, material, through our good fortune. Our politics have not lost

their roughness; corruption has taken longer to disappear than it should have done. But, as to the Victorians in England there came

from Mazzini and Garibaldi the clear call to think of Italy and the oppressed nations,—and they made a fitting response—to the college

men and women of to-day has come from every little nation in the world the summons to accept the obligations attaching to our strength,

and to forget Canadian materialism in a generous struggle to restore the rights of neutrals, and especially of the weaker neutrals.

But the last of Mr. Asquith’s claims on us seems to me the most appropriate for the Universities of the Empire. He hints at

the creation of a general federation of peoples, wherein the old system of opposing alliances, and the balance of power will have gone,

and a new world of international agreements and arbitration will have taken its place. That such a dream is more than a mere dream,

Britain and America proved by that greatest of international agreements, the Geneva arbitration. Sir Edward Gray spoke, last July,

of the impossibility up to that time of giving so Utopian an idea definite embodiment in a proposal. But the war has changed all that,

and Britain at least, if Heaven sends her victory, will utilize her triumph for that high purpose, and not for self-aggrandisement. Now,

whether that system comes definitely into existence, or only begins to be when the war is over, the ultimate success will depend on the

preachers, journalists, teachers, and lawyers, at present training for their professions in the Universities. In law it must henceforth be

the aim of the most ambitious to civilize international relationships, and to create courts, and laws, and a legal temper, which will enable

great nations to settle their disputes outside the battlefield. The teacher must remember that if peace indeed have her victories no less

renowned than war, children must be taught the nature of these victories, and that the cheap and only too easily effective appeals of

13

battle stories must have companion stories of heroic peace, as thrilling, memorable, and more moral. The new journalism must accept,

as the old has never done, its moral responsibilities, and no longer egg men on by foolish passion, and cheap rhetoric, and exciting

falsehoods. Any one and all of us college men and women must reconstruct our religious faith and practice, and attempt to adorn to

some better purpose than before, that Kingdom of God into which we have all been born citizens.

In unconscious moments one turns homilist; and it may seem as though I were handing out to my friends of T5 nothing but

outworn and futile moral platitudes. But platitudes are not great single moral truths; they are the hypocrisies by which men take the

sting and the reality out of such truths. My appeal to the year T5 is to fall back on fundamentals. It seems apparent that whatever

the issue of the war, even if it be the most perfect victory, there will arise the greatest division in the states of the world between those

who recognize the need to extend Christianity .until it includes national and international relationships, and those who take

their maxims from Machiavelli, without possessing the splendid honesty of the great Italian. You and those like you are now to

have opportunities of cleansing the state of its evils, of elevating the public conscience, of translating into common routine practice that

Law of God which is Love. Hitherto men and women have been praised for the crude or fierce nobility and valour of physical conflict.

It should be your praise that you have kept yourselves physically as robust, mentally as virile, spiritually as elevated, in peace, as ever

men did in war.

HEN an idea is held very important, it is with anger that we see it misused, and false fruits attributed to it. This is

the present condition in connection with the Theory of Descent or of Evolution as it is often named. This idea

may he simply stated as a belief that the forms of life found now on the earth arc the descendants of those that

preceded them. We know from the records of the rocks that preceding races of creatures differed somewhat from

those now living. Descent with variation is our explanation of the differences thus found. Every biologist of

national or international reputation believes in the fact of descent with variation, although there is a conflict of opinions as to how the

variation was and is brought about. The idea of evolution was known to biologists long before the time of Darwin, but it was not until

his remarkable book—The Origin of Species—appeared, in 1859, with its array of examples, evidences, and arguments, that the belief

in Evolution became at all common. The difficulty in believing the theory of Evolution had always been that no acceptable method

had been demonstrated by which nature could modify living forms from age to age and thus produce such forms as we know.

Darwin’s greatest contribution to the idea of descent with variation was doubtless his development of the method, which he called

Natural Selection, and which Spencer later designated the Survival of the Fittest. According to this theory—every living thing is

likely to differ slightly from its parents, arid from the other offspring of its parents. If this difference lies in the direction of efficiency,

the creature will have an increased chance of succeeding in living to maturity and reproducing its kind. If on the other hand its

variation proves to be a handicap—its rivalry with others will tend to its destruction. That there is struggle for existence, this rivalry

to the death, no one can deny who has observed the enormous number of offspring of every kind of plant and minute animal, only a very small proportion of which succeed in reaching maturity.

Certain German writers have tried to obtain a scientific sanction for their determination to wage war against their neighbours,

by declaring that war is just the natural method of deciding who are the fittest to survive, and that every nation and individual must be ready to put its right to persist to this destructive test.

This, we submit, is an absolutely wrong application of an un loubted natural law. War. as at present carried on. is extremely

far from being in any way a natural struggle between natural rivals. The accident of the possession of an effective weapon—not self-

invented but stolen, may give to an idiotic degenerate an insuperable advantage over the greatest man—mentally, morally

and physically—in a nation. And this advantage is greatly increased by the very lack of the high qualities of mind and spirit which

would render their possessor averse to the destruction of a useful and inoffensive neighbour. The selection represented by battles

and campaigns is in the highest degree artificial. Nature produces neither Dreadnoughts nor lyddite; and we may nearly as well say

that the survivors of an earthquake are naturally selected for future greatness, as that the results of a modern’ military campaign

26

indicate an inherent superiority in the victors. The greatest price of war is without doubt its cost in men the best in physique, in

courage, in patriotism, in altruism. These are slain first, and by no method of calculation can we compute the difference between what

their country will be without them, and what it might have been if they had lived to give it their services in peace. Can anyone picture

to himself the advances in the arts of peace and good government lost to the United States through destruction of thousands of her best,

bravest, and most public-spirited citizens between 1860 and 1865? Cowardly weaklings unfortunately are not the chosen food for

powder. The vicious, the unhealthy, the undeveloped in body and mind—these arc left behind, and become the fathers of their

country. And very many generations must be sifted in the true natural process of Selection before their race again reaches to its former

position of advantage. Just when the young manhood of a country reaches the age of dissatisfaction with anything less than its

glorious ideals of liberty, progress, and equality for all. before they have learned to compromise with the evil facts of life, before they

have become so attached to comfort and leisure that they will give up high tilings for these animal blessings—war marches the young

men away to a completely unnecessary and inconclusive sacrifice. Even Bismarck the ruthless maker of successful wars declared

that war creates more problems than it settles. Yet this engine of destruction, setting free in its course the bmte that slumbers in the

body and mind of even civilized man—this train of horrors carrying down with it both victors and vanquished—this is thus acclaimed

by one of Germany’s most prominent spokesmen, von Bernhardi, “War gives biologically just decision, since its decisions rest on the very

nature of things.’’ “War is an unqualified necessity, justifiable from every point of view." “The inevitableness, the idealism, the

blessing of war as an indispensable and stimulating law of development, must be repeatedly emphasized." "War is not merely a

necessary element in the life of nations but an indispensable factor of culture, in which a true civilized nation finds the highest

expression of strength and vitality." .....

These teachings are not at all the result of study of nature’s orderly and inevitable rivalry of organism with organism, in which

the form best suited to the conditions of the environment is able to survive because of its exact adaptations. These are the fruit of the

national conceit, begotten of three successful wars, when united in the dreaming, philosophic mind with the lurid ami diabolical

iconodasm of Nietzsche. This dreamer,-of whom Bernard Shaw is a disciple,-having measured all ideas of righteousness,

individual and national, in the standard of his own diseased an 1 drug-saturate I mind, found them all wanting, and produced a

philosophv of destruction, except in bis hazy outline of a S„fcn„on. His denials of all accepted standards became the fashion with the

over-instructed but uncultured youth of Germany They alone, they decided, were the only wise, cultured people, and ,n then youthful

ignorance as a nation, they have decided to impress their ■kultur’ on the other peoples of Europe. XVc are all called to protest against

both their ideals and the manner in which they endeavour to inculcate them. And if our protest is to he worthy of our traditions, it

will be no empty lip service, but the offering of body and mind and estate in this struggle, to prevent the destruction of most of what

the world lias won in the Christian era. W. T. MacClement.

THE ©IF MwS sas

VlIERE was unwonted agitation among the planets when '15 Arts swam into view. From every Province in the

Dominion, and from the parts beyond, they came trooping in, men and maidens destined to graduate in the most

portentous year of History.

From the shaggy slopes of the Rockies they came, from the ranches of Alberta, from the prairie “shacks’ of

Saskatchewan, from the rolling reaches of Manitoba. Quebec, the pioneer of the Provinces, sent her quota, from the

breeze-fanned hillsides of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick they gathered, from the quiet by-ways of Prince Edward Island, and from

Ontario, most of all. Some there were from the great American Republic, some from the world's metropolis, some from the echoing

Highlands of old Scotland and the laughing lanes of Erin; even Lombardy and the Orient would not be denied.

Some forsook the plough, the cream separator, and the churn, some the “deeslrict skule,” some a mission station among the

mines and forests of British Columbia, some a bustling office in town or city, while some, to complete the cycle, tripped blithely in to

Queen's, fresh from the threshold of Continuation school. High school, or Collegiate.

The astounding part of it all was, that twenty-four hours in the dynamic atmosphere of Queen's put this variegated assemblage

on a common basis of perfect good fellowship, so that they expressed the same incredulities, vociferated the same queries for

enlightenment, and butted their verdant craniums against the same distressing obstacles that have confronted incoming Freshmen since

the beginning of time.

Those purgatorial porings over that mystifying medley of exasperations, the College Calendar,—who does not remember them?

And the extra dollar here, and the other odd dollar there, that we had tucked away in a halo of anticipation.—why must these be

wrenched from our nerveless hands for nameless “incidentals” and unheard-of “laboratory fees "? Why, why, oh G. V.? But even

the Calendar did not daunt us long; we resigned ourselves into the hands of the amiable ladies at the Registrar's counter, but we received

what the gods saw fit to hand to us, with the dignity peculiar to Freshmen, and with the unquenchable hope that “somehow good would

be the final end of ill.”

And what a really interesting world it was. to be sure! It had never occurred to us that Seniors. Juniors, and Sophs, were so

nearly of the same genus homo with ourselves. Even the Professors, after the first three days, seemed almost human! A few things,

of course, we found surprising, and different, a little, from what we had expected. The teacher of Junior Math., for instance, sometimes

desired us to perform operations, which, while perhaps not impossible, at least seemed capable of great improbability. In Senior

English, we sometimes found it difficult to distinguish between the "High German Shift” and the ordinary "Dutch poke" as specified in

Hoyle. Wc were not without suspicion that Grimm's Laiv was a defunct statute resurrected to plague us, and we couldn't greatly

blame certain “final unaccented syllables” from “weakening" under the strain they were put to.

Some things in Mental Phil., too, were fascinating but bewildering. One or two axioms of our youth were rudely disturbed. We

had supposed that on the occasion when the pedagogue at the little red school-house back at the Comers arose with unwonted celerity

on a certain mad May day, he did so because his chair had been pre-empted by an inconspicuous, but not wholly defenceless, tack. We

30

came to realize, at this late day, that our diagnosis was incorrect. What actually had occurred was a "psycho-physical parallelism,” by

virtue of which, after the molecules of the cerebral cortex had been violently agitated by a current from an afferent nerve, this afferent

nerve collaborated with a friend of his, an efferent nerve, in consequence of which a sensation took place, which induced our dear

teacher to rise. All of which, of course, seemed plausible enough when explained. We learned some Logic, too, that to our untutored minds

appeared quite illogical, until we discovered that the fault was only partly in the Logic.

Some of us were surprised when Economics did not augment our economy, and when Politics did not necessarily involve a

revision of our previous conception of the validity of Isaiah 32 and 8. Others were mildly alarmed to learn that the German icll may

occasionally be rendered by the English isli, even by Germans of unquestioned “kultur.”

Oh! we discovered such a wide variety of surprising and interesting things in this first year, that we couldn’t think of recounting

one-quarter of them. For the Freshman stage of one's existence is certainly the most remarkable of the cycle, and the Freshman

himself, as we since have discovered, by no means the least remarkable of College phenomena.

But we must hasten on. One fine morning in mid-October the men of the year were informally "received" by their elder

brethren, the Sophs. The reception was notable for the lavish distribution of such commodities of undoubted economic value at 2-in-l

blacking and tri-color paint. To be brief, there was a cyclonic set-to on the campus, in which not a few Sophs, were trussed up

securely by the facetious Freshmen. Eventually, of course, (since in so British an institution as Queen s, tradition must at all hazards

be maintained), we were overcome, were tied up in bunches, like carrots, loaded onto waiting lorries, and driven Down town for the

edification of the populace of Kingston.

The Ladies, also, had their Initiation,—that time-honored, mysterious process, the details of which are so jealously guarded that

they come not to the ear of the Historian, be he sacred or profane.

And then, of course, there was that glorious foregathering of the faithful, the Freshmen's Reception, at which all the years of

the faculties,—aye, and many of the powers that be, as well,—assemble to do homage to the Freshman. It was there we began to

discern what persons of consequence we really were, and how ordinary, after all, was the rest of the universe beside.

\or is that fateful episode to be forgotten, on the eve of University Day, when in the dark night watches sundry valiant spirits

of our Year ascended to the topmost floor of the Old Arts building, and then, from the cloud-brushed heights of the tower flag-staff,

raised to the inky zephyrs the glorious banner of "Arts T5.” True, the morning after saw it sacriligeously removed by a storming party

from Medicine and Science. True, (and pity 'tis, ’tis true; it cost them a dollar apiece) the offenders were haled before the matchless

sovreignity of Court to explain why sentence of death should not be passed upon them. But the sublimest truth of all lay in the new

lustre that was added to the arms of '15 Arts by this audacious act.

As a Year indeed, we flourished like the green bay tree. At the very outset we had entrusted our destinies to an Executive

headed by W P I. O'Meara (President) and B. I. Reilly (Secretary), and under their parental guidance, Fortune wandered never

far afield. We won the Mitchell Shield in Rugby, which of itself should he glory enough for a Freshman year. We made a creditable

show in Inter-Year Debating, and we pulled down a championship in Hockey.

31

And then, since to all things must come an end, the April exams, intruded. Here let 11s draw the veil across the records of our

Freshman Year; at no time could it be more appropriate.

"Back to his studies, fresher than at first, fierce as a dragon." The quotation, of course, is not to be taken too literally. It is not that

the Sophomore is ‘‘fresher" than the Freshman; that would be impossible. And then, again, the appellation “Sophomore," as has been

gleaned from “original sources,” indicated) one "wise to the customs." Which we take to mean that the erstwhile Freshman, in

consequence of the successful disposing of three pass classes, two Dances, a Dinner, and a Rush, is now expected to shuffle off his

verdant coil, and to stand forth valiantly as a youth in whom there is no guile.

We started off auspiciously with J. A. Mclnnis holding down the President’s chair, and J. L. Lamont behind the Secretary’s pen.

If '15 Arts was precocious in its “baby” year, what shall be said of us when we inaugurated our second appearance by foregoing

the ccstacy of “rushing" the incoming year? Supercilious Juniors were indignant. Unctions Seniors waxed very wroth! But there

were those among 11s who inquired with feeling and with Tennyson,“Why should wc toil, who are the roof and crown of things?" So

we compromised with our protesting consciences by requesting the Freshies to assert whether their primitive souls would be most

assuaged by an assault in force on the part of their lords and masters, or by a man-size Dinner at the Frontenac. contributed by

themselves.

They elected to be ruined gastronomically and financially rather than physically, so wc repaired to the Frontenac, whereby all of

us were profited, and the prccociousness of Arts T5 received another boost.

For the consolation of the hotter-blooded Scots among us, who chafed at this iniquitous forcbearance even while their manly

molars were crunching the unoffending marrow of the truceful turkey, we record with pride and satisfaction that the gods of war and

violence were presently kind to them. It so was that on a certain bleak morning in mid-December there was a wanton attack on the

unfortified New Arts Building by several thousand unregenerate denizens of Science Hall (genus hoodlum,—vide Kingston Standard).

Then was there a bonnic battle in the cold corridors. Then were there "bloody noses and cracked crowns," and many shattered window

panes to boot. Then, too, did the men of T5 Arts foregather swiftly. From the musty atmosphere of the Latin room they came, from

the dubious resorts of the Club Room and of Senior Math., and they did smite the fiery Philistine hip and thigh. And at the end, when

the invaders, not unlike the hosts of Pharoah, were sloshed triumphantly out of the building in waves of cold and murky water, they

were bedraggled but ecstatic men of Arts ’IS who manned the stonny hydrants, and who steered the writhing hose.

Our versatility and recuperative powers were again signally shown on the occasion of our Social Evening. On the unimpeachable

assertions of John Muckle and the Journal, wc are constrained to repeat that never was Social Evening like this one. From the hop in

the hall-ways to the Utopiantics in the Red Room, and from the caviar in the Club Room to the Spearmint aftermath and the snail-like

oscillation homeward, everything was edifying, efficient, and altogether lovely.

But in nowise did wc divorce ourselves from the world of College sports. With cheerful audacity our Soccer team booted its

way from one victory to another, till it emerged as Faculty champion. In Rugby our warriors bade fair to do the same, but T3, in

some inexplicable manner, purloined the honors. Hockey yielded the Year a hard-won trophy, and the Ladies annexed a championship

in Basketball. In the Intcr-ycar Debates our orators lost by the narrowest of margins. Perhaps these apparent chastisements of fate

32

were providential. Just as much learning is reputedly of doubtful value, so might an over-dose of glory have proved our undoing.

That the prescription was of nearly correct proportions, however, our subsequent history will amply prove.

The Junior Year is something of an anomaly, but the Junior himself a most fascinating creature. He stands at the half-way

house, looking back over the two years that are gone, and forward over two years yet to come. He has discarded both the

prccociousness of the Freshman and the unwonted energy of the Sophomore, but he has not yet assumed the dignity of a Senior, Hie

gentleman Junior, if he be not faithless to his type, has nevertheless his distinguishing characteristics. Having worn off the last tinge

of verdigris, and gotten “wise to the customs” of the Soph., he has blossomed forth into stiff dress shirts and patent pumps that pinch,

he has worked off five classes and a half in two years, and he yearns for a roomier field of action.

The result is a definite change in his bearing. The pictures of championship teams of bygone days, that hang on the

walls of the Club Room, no longer lure him. Nor haunt him more the checker and crokinole boards that he patronized in his youth.

He seeketh his Journal with a studied disregard of haste that contrasted! strongly with the riotous rush of the Freshman and the almost

pristine ardour of the Soph. He is good-naturedly tolerant of the Mental Phil, or Politics man who jostles him rudely in the corridor

in his haste to be before-time at the lecture. There is nothing the gentleman Junior deprecates more than haste.

The lady Junior, in like wise, is impatient with her Freshette sisters who rave about the accents of the lecturer m Junior French,

or who bewail the sharpness of the rock splinters collected on Geology expeditions. For does not the lady Junior now take Honours

lectures in both French and English, and has she not attended at least three College Dances since she ceased to be a Freshette.

For indeed, when one by devious courses has attained to the full stature of a Junior, one begins to acquire useful Knowledge in

good earnest. For some time we had been dubious of the economic value of lectures, and we proceeded now to put our theory to the

test by neglecting all slope-able lectures, with the intention of doing three hours' plugging in the Library during that lecture space.

This proves so successful a substitute that we conclude that an hour's really intelligent work at home will produce as large results as

three hours in the Reference Library. And thus the Junior trips blissfully along till April,—when he is plucked. Which is perhaps

one of the most treasured experiences and privileges of one’s Junior Year. . .. The Junior Year of Arts '15 was, we imagine, much like other Junior Years. Our Year Meetings were less cnthusiastically

attended than of yore. With W. G. MacIntyre as President and J. A. MacGregor as Secretary, the business of the \ear

was intelligently disposed of. while Cecil Putman’s queries on constitutional points added spiciness to the debates. \ ear Championships

were rather less plentiful than had been their wont. Nevertheless, we won the Inter-year Debating senes. J. E. Forbes and John

McKinnon putting the Senior orators to rout, while J. S. McCormick and Harvey Campbell took the measure of tl.e .Sophomores. He

Rugby and Socce^r championships allured, but alas, eluded us. The Men excelled in Basketball, and the Ladies of the Year coralled the

; in their first three honours in Inter-year Ilockey. .

Taken altogether, Arts T5, at the close of their Junior Year, were able to look back upon a glonous heritas

years, and to face the fateful Senior Year with hopes of a splendid future. How fateful, in more ways than one. that last year was to

be, we had, alas, no knowledge. ... .. Two months before the members of Arts '15 re-gathered for their final year, every hrsl-rate power in the world, save one. \\a

grappling in tire most colossal war in history. As a part of the mighty British Empire, Canatla. too. was playing her part m the conflict.

and the effects of war, even at this great distance from its chief theatre, made a deep impression on all phases of our College life.

The answer of Queen's to the slogan, "Business as usual,” was two-fold. She sent the pioneer Canadian University contingent to the

front of battle, and she is helping strengthen the sinews of war by training the rest of her sons to grapple with problems both at home

and abroad. The consciousness of war has noticeably subdued the usual happy atmosphere of Queen's. Not that there is a whit less optimism

and determination, but the realization of the terrible stakes that are being played for, must ever have a sobering effect. The regular

College functions were held, as before, but the customary spontaneity and enthusiasm were quite evidently restrained, for always there

was the overshadowing recollection that sons of Queen's were in the midst of the perils of war.

Of the chief events of our final year we shall speak but briefly. So far as numbers went, we were very nearly as strong as in

our Freshman year, thanks to members who came in during the last two years. With an Executive in which J. S. McCormick was

President and Angus McIntosh Secretary, an attempt was made to liven up the meetings of the year by frequent special programmes.

It is notoriously difficult to maintain equal interest in these meetings in the last two years, but the record of our last year was

conspicuously good.

The most sensational of our year teams was "Shag.” Pilgrim's mighty Rugby machine, which galloped away with both the

Inter-year and the Inter-Faculty honours, and rolled up an aggregate of points unheard of in the memory of the oldest post-mortem.

Basketball our men won for the second year in succession. Both the Ladies and the Men of the Year made heroic bids for championships

in Debating, but the gods were unpropitious. What spare moments the Ladies could find in October and November they improved by

delving in the exhilirating mysteries of Ground Hockey.

The A. M. S. election was a glorious vindication of the merit of '15 candidates; every one of them won his place. Jack Gilchrist

was ma le 2nd Vice-President, John L. McKinnon, Committeeman, and "Wid” Holmes appropriated to himself the famed Athletic Stick.

In Dramatic work, Miss B. Gilhooly and W. P. J. O’Meara were shining stars. And so the year moved swiftly on. Christmas saw the

departure of several of our best-known members with the second contingent for overseas, while most of the men of the year became

diligent members of the Officers’ Training Corps. A special Convocation on the 18th of February for men of all Faculties going

overseas, came as a further sobering incident, if such, indeed, were needed.

Our history draws to a close. As a Class, we graduate in what is, perhaps, the most prodigious year in world annals since the

birth of Christ. Few of us have illusions as to the gravity of the situation. Events are every month occurring which have no parallel

in history by which they can be judged, and are occurring so rapidly that the human mind reels in the attempt to comprehend their real

significance. The dogs of war are hanging at the throat of Europe. The wives and children of to-day ~re the widows and orphans

of to-morrow. Engines, the ingenuity of which is nothing short of diabolical, are murdering men by regiments at a time. Nameless

atrocities, which somehow we had thought were the relics of a disorganized civilization, have been multiplied and made even more

terrible by the increased efficiency of man to destroy. It is all as yet so distant as to seem to us unreal; so prodigious as to seem

impossible; so savage as to shake our faith in human progress.

Canada is responding to the need of the Empire and of the world, and in the front rank of Canadians march the men of Queen’s.

We are proud of the men of Arts ’15 who have gone to the front. We have tried to express our appreciation in an inadequate sort of

34

way of dedicating to them the Year Book of their graduating year. That they are followed by the good-wishes and affection of their

class-mates and their Alma Mater, we need not tell them. They have responded to the call for service because they are strong men

with strong convictions, because they realize, as only in a period of peculiar stress a man can realize, the sublime assurance of a

Tennyson, that

“Life is not as idle ore,

But iron dug from central gloom,

And heated hot with burning fears,

And dipped in baths of hissing tears,

And battered with the shocks of doom,—

To shape and use.”

Finally, at the parting of the ways, there comes to those of us who cannot go beyond the seas, the strongest call to service that

ever challenged a graduating class at Queen's. What there is to come, we do not know. Our business is to play our part as men and

women with unusual privileges and unusual responsibilities. Thousands of the world’s leaders in thought and action are being swept

out of life in the tornado of war. To whom shall the people look for men and women to replace them, if not to the graduates o our

Universities? As never before in the cycle of time, this scarred and battered world will call for men. Shall the ranks of Arts a )e

found wanting in resolute men—men able and willing to lead Canadians where Canadians want to go? This is the challenge ot tie

age. We will not,—we dare not shirk it.

Because of the living spirit of Queen's which will not be daunted, at our parting on the brink of a nameless future, we bid each

other,—not Farewell, but Welfare! M. I. Beeshy.

MISS IRENE BENGER.

In the live little city of Port Arthur, overlooking the restless waters of Lake Superior. Irene lived her early years, and obtained her Public and High School education. She entered Queen’s in her Sophomore year in the Modems and History course. In her first two years at Queen's she hid her light under a bushel, but as Assistant Secretary-Treasurer in her final year she proved herself one of the most capable and dependable of the Executive.

There was a soft and pensive grace, A cast of thought upon her face.”

MILTON IRVEN BEESHY.

A tiny shallop, conveying the infantile cargo of M. I. Beeshy, set out on the pond of life

in 1891. After tentative tackings about the village of Ridgeway, he weathered the narrows of

the local High School. Then he shipped his pilot and steered his bark to 'Varsity; but his frail

craft came to grief on the rocks of Junior Math. Backing off that treacherous reef,

he coaste I the North shore of Lake Ontario, turned into Kingston harbour.land"docked in the

sheltered haven of Arts '15.

A master of the culinary art, a sometime collector of moths and beetles, Boy Scout

enthusiast, graduate of the Emerson Institute of New York and of the Elliott Business

College, Toronto, year Historian, year Debater, Senior Year Editor-in-Chief of 'Round T5.

Literary Editor of the \ear Book, he has a weakness for Club Sandwiches, canoes, and mid¬

night snowshoe tramps, aspires to Journalism, and is afflicted with sundry opinions. If pos¬

terity does not heed his effusions on the II. C. of L. and Canadian Bank Inspection,—so much

the worse for posterity.

“Lord, we know what we are, but not what we may be."—Hamid.

MISS LUCY BRYDON.

I-rom far-off Calgary di 1 quiet Lucy enter the ranks of '15. She graduated from Calgary

High School with Senior Matriculation standing, and took her first year of College work

cxtra-murallv. Cast year, however, the call of Queen's became too strong, and Lucy came

in to continue intra-murally her course in Moderns and English.

Her heart was in her work, and the heart giveth grace into every art."

46

MERTON BOWES.

Of all the seekers after knowledge, perhaps the most voracious that Queen's has yet seen

is Merlon Bowes. At an age when dime novels should have been protruding from his hip

p-cket lie-took a commercial course in the Ingersoll Collegiate preparatory to entering a law

office. .Finding that his aesthetic soul was starving on the scried ranks of precedents, docu¬

ments and Magna Chartas. he cast his eyes unto the hills and took his Matric. Me came to

Queen’s in 1913, joined the only year and proceeded to cat up first divisions. Mis propensity

for Merman literature. Schiller for breakfast, Goethe for dinner, and Lessing for supper, has

been condoned by his prompt action in joining the O. x . C. Bowes doesn’t know what lie is

going to be, but if he doesn't find some outlet soon for all he knows—well, you know what

happened the frog.

GILES W. BROWN.

Born in Lyn, Leeds County. Took Senior Matriculation from Brockville Collegiate in 1912.

and entered Queen's on the Governor-General's Scholarship in Classics. Me has since fol¬

lowed a Science Specialist's Course, specializing in Physics. Chemistry. Animal Biology and

Botany.

Giles is an excellent student, and has always placed studies first and play afterwards.

Although he has not taken an active part in Athletics, he has always been a keen supporter.

We hope to see him with us in Medicine next year, and we wish him success in his new line

of work.

47

MISS HELENA CAMERON.

Helena Cameron, a graduate of Alexandria High Sehool. entered Queen's in the fall of

'll on a general proficiency scholarship. In the halls of Queen's she has shown marked ability

in every branch of College work. As Historian and Debater, she has upheld the honour of

the year, and by her efficient work on many committees has proved her excellent executive

ability. Owing to ill-health, Helena has been obliged to remain at home this year, but we

Hope next year to see her back at Queen's.

MURRAY CAMERON.

We see before us a product of Middlesex County. Bom at Glemvillow, he there received

his early training, and while yet a wee laddie entered Strathroy C. I.. from which, in 1912, he

secured his Faculty Entrance with honours. He entered Queen’s that fall, and gravitated

naturally to Arts ’la. He has devoted himself with considerable energy to a Science Special¬

ist's course, which he hopes he will find useful in teaching.

“May never wicked fortune louzlc him.

May never wicked men bamboozle him.''

“So unaffected, so composed a mind,

So firm, so soft, so strong, vet so refined."

48

HARVEY B. CAMPBELL.

Carlisle, Ontario, awoke one morning to the fact that it was greatly honored by the pres¬

ence of the personage mentioned above. As he himself has put it. he got his start at the old

Eighth Line school-house. Later in life he attended Georgetown High School and Hamilton

Collegiate, receiving his Senior Matriculation from the latter. After a few years spent in

Saskatchewan, he entered Queen's in the fall of '12, where he once again exhibited signs of

genius by joining himself to Arts '15.

He was a member of the Year Executive in 1913-14, and as Orator of the Year made a

speech that few of those who heard him are likely to forget. In his Junior Year he was a

member of the team which won the Inter-Year Debating Championship. Though lie quite

frankly admits that he never won any medals or made any Intercollegiate records, we of '15

know him for what he is and regard him highly.

"Here work enough to watch

The Master work, and catch

Hints of the proper craft, tricks of the tool's true play."

MISS RUTH CAMPBELL.

The capital city always sends out capital girls, and Ruth is one of them. Graduating from

the Ottawa Collegiate in 1911. she entered Queen's that fall on the Literature and Philoso¬

phy course. For four years Ruth has been an active member of the Journal staff, and has

always been willing to help her Year in any capacity.

"Count her a friend in faith and practice.”

49

ANGUS J. CAMPBELL.

Angus hails from Elgin County and received his early education at Shedden. He secured

his Junior Teachers' after two years at Dutton High School, where he displayed exceptional

ability. After teaching three years in Ontario and the West, he came to Queen's in 1911. At

the end of his first year with us he returned to the West, and took his second term at the

L niversity of Saskatchewan. He is a man of sterling qualities, whose genial nature won him

many friends at Queen’s. His undoubted ability should assure him success in his determined profession.

"I have no ambition to see a goodlier man."

MISS BESSIE A. CHOW.

Bessie received both her Public and High School education in the schools of Kingston.

She entered Queen’s in 1911, and ever since her Freshette year has been a willing worker in

the interests of '15. She has served on numerous committees and was Assistant Secretary- Treasurer in her Junior Year.

“She has the truest, kindest heart."

50

MISS CAROLINE MAUDE CHALMERS.

Caroline Maude Chalmers attended Public and High School in Sudbury, taking the Bell

Scholarship in general proficiency. She entered Queen's in '11 on an English, Moderns and

History course. She received her degree last year and is now Vice-President of the Faculty

of Education, but she has remained loyal to her year, has been a willing worker, and the luck¬

less convener of countless refreshment committees.

“How grave yet joyous,—how reserved yet free,

As light where friends are,—how imbued with love

The world most prizes, yet the simplest yet."

MISS OLIVE GHOWN.

Here is another fair member of T5. A Kingstonian by birth and education, Olive is so

unassuming and retiring in her disposition that few suspect her of harbouring that keen sense

of humour and that knack of making quaint observations, which her friends enjoy so much.

That Olive is also one of our most capable girls is clearly shown by her faithful work on the

Y. VV. C. A., the Levana, and the Choral Society Executives, as well as on many year com¬

mittees.

“At whose sight

All the stars hide their diminished heads.”

51

MISS ELIZABETH CMOW'X.

•T faith she hath the wanderlust,'” seems true in the case of Elizabeth, for California,

Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and Kingston, all contributed to her store of know¬

ledge ere Queen s added the crowning touch. She has always been one of our most energetic

workers, for, without neglecting her Moderns course, she has been Poetess and Levana De¬

bater for 15, a member of the Choral Society and prominent in sports, particularly in Basket¬

ball, as captain of our championship team. Elizabeth has the enviable reputation of always

being on time—a rare enough accomplishment, indeed.

“And panting Time toiled after her in vain."

MISS EVELYX B. CLARK.

Evelyn B. Clark belongs to Odessa and to one of the old LT. E. Loyalist families. After

graduating from Napanee Collegiate, she attended Regina Normal, and has proved herself a

sympathetic and efficient teacher. She entered Queen's in 1912, and in the College circle has

found many true friends.

“With an eye to see

Life’s sunniest side, and with a heart to take

Its chances all as Godsends."

52

J. G. COUNTRYMAN.

In Eastern Ontario is a village called Morewood. Near this village the object of this

sketch was born, and in its schools he received his education. Grant always was a precocious

youth; he took his junior matriculation at the age of 13. His ambition, however, refused to

be checked at this stage, and a few years later he entered Morrisburg Collegiate, where in

1911 he received his Honour Matriculation. He entered Queen's in the fall of 12. joining

Arts T6. The superior opportunities of '13 presently attracted him more strongly, and he

joined our ranks in October, 1914.

Grant has taken an interest in all sides of College life. He was frequently to be found in

the Gym., where he displayed no mean ability in basketball, wrestling and boxing.

He purposes after graduation to enter Law, where we have no doubt at all he will meet

the success he merits.

“A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows."

MISS LILYAN COCHRANE.

Lilyan joined us in T2, on Senior Matriculation, Gananoque claiming the credit for her

early training. From her childhood days, when she used to drop stolen handfuls of soda into

the vinegar bottle to see it “fizz," Lilyan has exhibited a fondness for Science. If her past

successes be any criterion, she will receive her Specialist's degree this spring as one of our

youngest graduates. Her sunny disposition has won her many friends.

"She has the jewel of a loyal heart."

33

LEIGH S. CRUESS.

Leigh S. Cruess, kvhose genial countenance is hereabouts displayed, hails from Lindsay-

wav. What education he had prior to coming to Queen's in the fall of '12 he secured at

Lindsay Collegiate, whence he emerge^ with the Mowatt Scholarship in Mathematics. Since

coming to College he has exhibited a remarkable penchant for Pall Malls, Rugby, and the

Differential Calculus. His work at outside wing on “Shag" Pilgrim's great Rugby machine

last fall was no small factor in our winning the Mitchell Shield for the second time. Civil

Engineering will no doubt claim him as a victim in due time.

“He never followed wicked ways except when he was sinning."

MISS OLIVE M. CLARKE.

Olive is a Dundas girl, a graduate of Kemptville High School, "a girl’s girl," a woman

with the heart of a child. At once a friend of old and young, her best friends those who know

her best, Olive has a lively wit and a fund of quiet humour that will help her and her friends

over the hard spots of life. During her stay at Queen’s she has taken her part quietly in the

real work of the University.

“How the best state to know?—it is found out,

Like the best woman,—that the least talked about.”

54

MISS XORA G. DEWAR.

Aylmer, Quebec, is the native hamlet of Nora Dewar, but at the age of three she per¬

suaded her parents to move to Ottawa where she might receive the benefits of a training

suited to her powers. At Ottawa Collegiate Nora covered herself with glory. When she came

to Queen’s with Honour Matriculation she showed her good taste by joining Arts '15, while

the Year showed its good taste by electing her Vice-President of the Senior Year. She has

also served on the Y.W.C.A. as Treasurer. Her good-will and faithfulness have won the

admiration and esteem of all of us.

“In friendship noble; in spirit sweet and wise.

With health and beauty glowing,

In cheeks and lips and eyes."

FRED G. DAY.

Frederick George Day, born at Orillia, Ont., in 1S93, is a son of Mr. I. C. Day, a Queen's

graduate, now Inspector of Schools for East Simcoe. Fred secured his Honour Matriculation

from the Orillia Collegiate in 1910. After attending Normal at Calgary, he taught school for

some time in Alberta. He entered Queen's in 1912. Besides being a diligent student. Fred

has taken keen interest in class athletics, winning a place on '15's Soccer, Hockey, and Bas¬

ketball teams. His ambition is to become one of the successful lawyers of Edmonton.

"The door invitingly stood open wide,

I shook my dust and set my staff aside."

HAROLD T. DONALDSON.

He is generally known as ‘‘Don," and his wondering eyes first opened on this interesting

sphere somewhere in the neighborhood of Millbrook {vide Canadian Atlas). Port Hope High

School and Lindsay Collegiate infused in him a certain amount of erudition, so that he taught

school for a couple of years, and finally entered Queen's in the fall of 1912. He has devoted

himself with considerable industry to the Specialist's course in Math., with occasional recre¬

ation in the way of inter-year Soccer and Rugby. He was Treasurer in his final year.

"LTntil we are built like angels, with hammer and chisel and pen,

We will work for ourselves and a woman, for ever and ever. Amen.”

MISS HELEN DOOHER.

This is Helen, originally from Lombardy, though her High School education was received

at Smith's Falls. She is a happy-go-lucky little Irish maiden, never hurried, never worried,

bent on getting all the fun possible out of life. Nevertheless, she can be serious, and work,

and has always heaps of ideas for our programmes. Shall wc ever forget her gallantry at the

hresheltes Reception in our Senior Year? The Ladies' Hockey team realized her worth in

goal when they won the championship, and this year she is our poetic genius. Helen has a

naive little charm all her own which makes friends for her everywhere

"It's the song ye sing, and the smile ye wear,

That's a’ makin’ the sun shine everywhere.”

56

JOHN JAMES DUNLOP.

John is yet another of the famous “men from Glengarry." He received his Public and

High School education in the village of Williamstown and entered Queen's and Arts '15 in

January, 1912. While managing to enjoy the social side of College life, he has done credit¬

able work in study, and in his Junior Year made his mark in boxing. He will be remembered

for his ready wit and general good comradeship. He purposes to enter Law. and his quali¬

ties are such as should there insure him success.

“He never defers and never demands.

But, smiling, takes the world in his hands."

MISS BESSIE EBY.

Kingston claims Bessie as all its own. After graduating from the K. C. I.. she joined our

number at Queen's in the fall of 'll. Athletics have claimed a goodly share of her interest in

the year. She was no small power on our championship Hockey team in our Junior Year.

Bessie's genuine friendliness anil kindness to all have made her very popular among her

class-mates.

“A girl of such a genial mood,

The heart of all things she embraced.

And yet of such fastidious taste.

She never found the best too good."

57

WILLIAM O. ERB.

Willie O. Erb entered Queen's in his Sophomore Year with the Mowat Scholarship in

Mathematics. His preparatory education he received in New Hamburg, whence he matricu¬

lated in 1910, and at Berlin Collegiate, taking his Entrance to Faculty in 1912. In Berlin he

won the Principal s Medal" lor bringing the greatest honour to the school.

At Queen's Willie has maintained his reputation by brilliant work in the Math, and

Physics Specialist course, where he has frequently led his class.

“Oh, 'e’s little, but ’e’s wise,

’E’s a terror for ’is size.

An’ 'e does not advertise,

Do yer, Bill?"

—Kipling.

MISS EFFIE A. ELMER.

,, „ E^e ,'S. 3 .C°'ed °‘ ‘,,e Limes,one City. She attended the K.C.I., and entered MacDonald lall, Guelph, m 1910. The very next year she felt the lure of "Queen s College colors" .0

strongly that she forthwith became a Fresheltc. But she remained only tivo years in our

midst, for m September, 1913, she became the wife of Dr. Malcolm Gibson, Queen's 'P and now resides in Simpson, Saskatchewan.

“Such a maid,

As though in Cupid’s college she had spent

Sweet days, a lovely graduate.”

58

MISS FLORA FAIR.

Flora matriculated from Kingston Collegiate, and since the fall of 'll has been a promi¬

nent member of Arts ’15. In her Sophomore year she made a distinguished Vice-President,

and has always been noted for her willingness and ability in all committee work. A song from

Flora is always in demand, and in her Final year she was pianist in the College Orchestra. At

College, as everywhere else, her bright winning manner and loving disposition have won her

a large circle of true friends, who will always have more than a passing interest in her future

career.

“She’s as charming a girl as ever you'd meet,

With her quiet manner and smile so sweet."

ELMER VINCENT FORBES.

Elmer was born on a farm near Maitland, N.S., attended the rural school, and afterwards

Truro Academy for one year. Going West in 1909. he later entered North Battleford High

School, from which he graduated with a Junior Matriculation scholarship, and entered Queen's

in 1911. With typical Scotch tenacity and thoroughness he has pursued a successful course,

specializing in Philosophy. He was a capable Treasurer of his Sophomore year, and served

with credit on the Y. M. C. A. and Q. lT. M. A. executives. His solidity of character and

Christian zeal insure his success in his chosen life-work, the ministry.

“There's a divinity that shapes our ends,

Rough-hew them how we will.”

59

JAMES ERVIN FORBES,

"Jim" was born oil a farm near Maitland, N.S., of hardy Highland Scotch ancestry. He

received his preparatory training in Kennetcook Public and Battleford High Schools, anil

came to Queen's in 1911. He has justified the confidence of his fellow-students by helping to

tvin rater-year championships in Basketball and Debating. In addition, he has ably discharged

the duties of such important positions as member of the University Debate Committee, Secre¬

tary of the Q. U. M. A„ President of the Philosophical Society, etc! His strength of character

and Ins Scotch love of Metaphysics make sure his success in the Honour Philosophy course

and afterwards in the ministry, his chosen work.

“Basis Virtutem Constantia.”

MISS EDITH A. FOREMAN.

J Collingsvood, Ontario, is Edith's home. She received her elementary education at the

Public School of that town, and is a graduate of its Collegiate Institute. She entered Queen's

in 1911 with the class of'14. but. after spending a year at home, perceived the error~of her

former ways and became a loyal and enthusiastic member of our year. An excellent student

popular with her class-mates, Edith played centre on our year Basketball team, and has taken’

a wide interest in other phases of College life.

“With many a social virtue graced,

Yet still a friend of solitude.”

60

MISS JESSIE FYCKES.

Miss Jessie Fyckes’ birthplace was a diminutive village called Moulinettc, situated on the

banks of the St. Lawrence. She attended High School at Cornwall and came to Queen’s with

the class of 1915 with the distinction of being the Freshette least burdened with the weight of

years. Despite her youth and small stature, she had an extraordinary endowment of brains

and powers of industry, and easily surmounted the difficulties of German script and French

pronunciation and other ills common to the first year. She was noted for brilliant class work

and first divisions on examinations, and completed her course with such ease and rapidity that

this year she is resting on her oars at home, with only one extra-mural class necessary for her

specialist’s degree.

“For she is wise, if I can judge of her;

And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true;

And true she is, as she hath prov’d herself;

And therefore like herself, wise, fair and true;

Shall she be placed in my constant soul."

—Merchant of I'cnicc.

WILLIAM GEORGE BRYANT FRASER.

A member of the Fraser clan and a native of Simcoe County, he received his preliminary

education at Bradford High School and Albert College. Belleville. After two years' teaching,

he entered Queen’s in 1911. He expects to register in Theology next year, where his con¬

scientious work will mean success.

“I was not bom for courts or great affairs,

1 pay my debts, believe and say my prayers.’’

NORMAN VICTOR FREEMAN.

Norman Victor Freeman was born in April, 1S92, at Inverary. Ontario. His father, a

well-known country practitioner, was a graduate from Queen's with the class of ’87. Norman

matriculated from Sydenham High School in 1910, and entered College after teaching a year

in Opinicon, Out. At Queen’s he has taken an active part in the College Orchestra, and has

devoted his time chiefly to the study of those scientific subjects most closely related to the “Out Door Life.”

“When I dipt into the future far as human eye could see;

Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.”

—Lockslcy Hall.

MISS NELL GEMMELL.

Nell received her High School education at Sault Ste. Marie, where report has it she was

one of the cleverst of her class, and on the winning Basketball team as well. In 1912 she

entered Queen's, where she proved herself a distinct acquisition to the year. Nell was one

of the best Hockey and Basketball players in the ranks of all '15, and during 1913-14 was

convener of the Levana Athletic Committee.

62

MISS BEATRICE C. GILHOOLY.

Beatrice was born in the Capital, and graduated from the Ottawa Collegiate with her

hands full of medals in English and History. But, as if that were not enough, she rambled off

unconcernedly with the Williamson No. One Scholarship in the same subjects, with the pro¬

ceeds of which she paid her first fees to G. Y. At Queen's she has found interest in every¬

thing, hut especially in the Dramatic Club, in whose plays she has taken an important role in

every year of her course. Arts T5 and the Levana Society have profited greatly by her unex¬

celled executive ability. She is a pocket edition of Irish wit and humour, leaving a ray of

sunshine wherever she goes.

“The sun and the wind are akin to her.

And she is akin to June."

JOHN GILCHRIST.

Jack came into being at Wiarton, Ontario, where he got his Public and High School edu¬

cation, and after four years’ teaching entered Queen's in 1911. Here he has taken a high

standing in all his classes. His genial smile is familiar among the boys, and his winning ways

have won him the offices of 1st Vice-President of the A. M. S., Secretary-Treasurer of the

Association Football team, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Boxing. Wrestling and Fencing

Club. A clear thinker and a forceful speaker, Jack is bound to succeed in Law.

“A merrier man I never spent an hour's talk withal."

63

CHATHAM G. D. GRAHAM.

Chatham was “cordially welcomed" to Queen's in the fall of 1911. Before that time he

had first strained the spring scales at Lindsay, Ont., had passed through Public and High

Schools there, and then, after two years on a B. C. mission, found himself at Queen’s. With

'15 his executive and oratorical ability has been valuable, and in Rugby he has contributed

to the glory of the year. His Final Year in Arts T5 inspired him with even greater mission¬

ary zeal, so that his time was divided between the council chambers of our year and the

peaceful vistas of Divinity Hall. Here his “quiet” but genial disposition has made him many

friends, and as a “deacon" his future success should be assured.

“He was six feet o’ man.

Clear grit and human nature."

MISS MARGARET GOYAX.

Margaret is a well-known member of that enthusiastic Glengarry band that has come to

Queen's from Williamstown High School. In the fall of 1911 she entered College as one of

Arts 15. Margaret has enjoyed the social as well as the academic side of College li fc. She

has also served gladly in the various offices of Curator, Treasurer, and Vice-President of

Levana, and Secretary of the Q. U. M. A.

“A countenance in which did meet

Sweet records, promises as sweet."

64

MISS GRACE M. GRANT.

Still another prominent member of Arts 15 claims W'illiamstown. Glengarry, as her home.

Grace entered Queen's in 1911. a demure little maiden with the McLennan Scholarship as a re¬

putation to maintain. Since that time, but without losing a whit of her sweetness, she has devel¬

oped into one of our liveliest co-eds. She has taken a very active part in all sides of College

life, social and intellectual, and has had her full share of executive work. She was Vice-

President of our Junior Year, is our Permanent Poetess, and has held numerous offices in

Levana and the Y. W. C. A.

“I find earth not grey, but rosy."

BLAIR GRAY.

Blair saw his first sunset near Komoka, ©fit. Since then he has risen considerably in the

world, and at present reaches an altitude of 73.S9 inches. In Strathroy Collegiate he exhibited

the marked avidity for Mathematics which still characterizes him. He graduated from there

in 1911 with honours in Math., and joined himself to Arts ’14. But a year's absence served

to clarify his vision, and on re-entering College he of course joined the noble year '15.

I-Iis specialties are Mathematics and Levana.

‘‘Truly, in my youth, I did suffer much extremity for love."

JAMES ARNOT GALE.

Jimmie was raised on the sod in Wellington County, five miles from the picturesque vil¬

lage of Elora. He matriculated from the Fergus High School. The rumors he heard of the

higher criticism in our Theological Halls have not altered his original intention to enter the

Ministry.

His services to the Year have been marked along social lines, for he was a prominent

member of the famous Male Quintette, and a versatile and jovial good fellow.

“Thus, heroes! thus the vigorous combat wage!”

MISS ETHEL R. GUTHRIE.

Ethel left the Renfrew Collegiate with honours, winning the McLaughlin Scholarship.

She entered Queen’s in the fall of 1912, and continued her splendid work on the Moderns and

History course. Yet withal she has found time to serve her Year in Debating and in Basket¬

ball. The Levana Council and various Committees have benefited by her good judgment and

executive ability.

’To those who know her not, no word can paint,

And those who know her, know all words are faint."

66

WILLARD S. HOLMES.

"Wid" was born at Glen Stewart, Dundas County, some 20 odd years ago. After com¬

pleting his primary education he entered Iroquois High School, where lie took an active inter¬

est in both work and athletics, especially in football. He passed his Teacher's examination in

1907, and after attending Model School in Morrisburg and teaching several years in Eastern

Ontario, entered Queen's in 1911 on a Science Specialist course. Though much of his time

was spent in laboratory work, “Wid" was much in demand for committee work, and played

Rugby and Soccer Football for his Year. This year he developed into one of our best for¬

wards. In his Junior Year he was Vice-President of the Arts Society, and in his Senior year

a member of the A. M. S. executive as holder of the Athletic Stick. After graduation he in¬

tends to continue teaching in Saskatchewan.

"The man o' independent mind.

He looks an’ laughs at a' that.”

MISS GRACE E. A. HAMBLIN.

Grace Hamblin graduated from Ottawa Collegiate and entered Queen’s on Senior

Matriculation in the fall of 1911. The winter of 1913-14 she spent at home, writing off suc¬

cessfully two extra-mural subjects. Grace is with us again in '15, and her bright smile and

ability to engage in jollity and mischief, will not soon be forgotten by those of us who are

privileged to know her.

“Thou art too elvish, faith, thou art too elvish!”

67

HAROLD WILSON HARKNESS, B.Se.

Marry came to College from Cornwall High School in the fall of '09. He took a suc¬

cessful course in Mechanical Engineering, graduated with Science '13, and is a member of the

Permanent Executive of that year. Last year his fellow students honored him by electing

him President of the Alma Mater Society.

Successful in his studies, diligent in his duties, and with good humour not effaced by

apparent seriousness, Harry is one whose College lias benefited him, and who has benefited

his College.

“This is the porcelain clay of human kind.”

J. M. HAZLETT.

Jack was born in Kingston. In the Public Schools and Collegiate of the Limestone City

he acquired not only mental knowledge but the knack of punting the pigskin. He entered

yueen's in the fall of 1911, and forthwith won a place on the half-back line of the first

Rugby team, and has held the position ever since. He is famed as the best punter and one of

the cleanest sports in the Intercollegiate Union. He has also proved a worthy student and has

served on many Executives. As Committeeman in the A. M. S., Vice-President of the Rugby

Club, Captain of the first Rugby team, President of the C. I. R. F. U., his frank and jovial

manner has made him a favorite with all. Jack intends next year to enter Medicine.

“In dimensions and the shape of nature a gracious person."

68

JACK" GEORGE JOHNSON.

“Jack" was born in London, England, in 1887. After serving an apprenticeship as black¬

smith in the world's metropolis he came to Canada, and entered Queen's in 1912 with Junior

Matriculation from Albert College, Belleville. As Marshal of ’15 in its Freshman year, Jack

collected his share of paint in the usual “Rush." When urgently needed he was usually to be

found disturbing the soul of the Club Room piano, or else splashing gleefully in the Swim¬

ming Pool. At present he is farming in Alberta as a hobby, teaching on the side, and hopes

to land his degree extra-murally.

JOSEPH A. IRWIN.

Joe comes from County Kerry, and, like most North of Ireland men. has something

"Scotch" about him; he has a Scotch nose.

He came to the Canadian North-West in 1908. After matriculating in Manitoba Univer¬

sity. he joined our Year at Queen's. Reading is his hobby; in his Junior Year he was a most

efficient Literary Editor of the Journal. His services on the Y.M.C.A. and Q.U.M.A. Execu¬

tives have been invaluable. Last year he was the class Prophet. His sterling character will

make him a successful minister, for, to misquote Shakespeare,

"In him is wit, and worth, and wisdom.

And the power of speech to stir men's blood."

69

J. SAN FIELD JACKSON.

To look at him, you would never guess his name was Sanfield; so we call him "Tack" for short. 1-Ie began life in the early '90's on the breezy uplands of Wellington County, near Glen Allan. In the course of a varied career, he got his secondary education at Fergus H. S. and Guelph Collegiate. Faculty of Education occupied his attention in 1910-11, and after teaching for a year he entered Queen’s on the Science Specialist course in 1912. Jack's present ambition is to master German.

. . . “For ‘Deutsch’ and doubt distract His troubled thoughts, and from the bottom stir The hell within him.”

—Milton (adapted).

MISS JEAN M. JOHNSTON.

Kingston has been generous to T5. In the person of Jean Johnston it has given us a musician whose skill, botli on the piano and the violin, has proved invaluable to the Year, and to the Students' Orchestra as well. Jean is fond of the social life at College, but she has dis¬ covered the secret of keeping it from Injuring the exam, results in April. This year she is showing a fondness for the Consulting Library which is an earnest of future success. She will serve her Year in future on the Committee of the Permanent Executive.

“A smile frae her wad banish care, Sae charming is our bonnie Jean!’'

70

WALTER P. KEARNS.

Walter was born at Cliesterville, Dundas County, in the scliools of which lie garnered a

few rudimentary facts which he has since found useful. Being possessed of an insatiable

desire to find out other things, he entered Queen's in the fall of '11 and made his bow as

a Freshman in Arts. The tenor of his ways has been remarkably even, although he did not

decline to diverge from them long enough to help our Year team win the inter-year Hockey

championship in 1913. He is taking an Honour course in Political Science, and has his eyes

fixed on Osgoode Hall. His sojourn with Arts 15 has won him many friends, who predict

for him a successful career in his hair-splitting and nerve-racking art of converting Law into

the elements of common sense.

“The very best fellow ever was born."

W. C. KENNETH KEILL.

A bright, vivacious youth, originating in Collins Bay, Ont., ever on the lookout for the

sunny side of life, Ken Keill joined Arts '15 in October 12. Before that, he had lugged off

the $150.00 Honour Matriculation Scholarship at the K. C I. His friends are many, and they

are unanimous in hoping that “Ken” will have the successful career he deserves.

“His eyes twinkled in his head aright,

As do the sterres in the frosty nyght.’’

—Chaucer.

71

MISS RUBY KILGOUR.

Ruby Campbell Kilgour received her early training at the Cornwall Public and High

Schools. She then took Faculty work at Toronto, and taught till she came to Queen’s in the

fall of 1912, when she entered T5 in its Sophomore year. Ruby has taken an active interest

in the athletic as well as the academic side of College life. Besides playing Hockey and Bas¬

ketball, she was Poetess of her Year in 1914, and a member of the Y. W. C. A. Executive.

“In thy face I see,

The map of honour, truth and loyalty.”

ROY M. KINES.

Stratford Collegiate saw this cheery, bright-eyed youth before he turned his steps to

Queen's. In 190S-09, still in the Classic City, he attended Normal, and taught for a couple of

years. We are sorry not to have him with us this year, but we wish him success in his extra¬

mural efforts, among the rose-bushes of North-Western Saskatchewan.

He was a consistent athlete, and played successfully on the championship team of his

Year in Rugby, Basketball, and Soccer. Those of us who know him will long remember his

optimism and sincerity.

“By nature honest, by experience wise,

Healthy by temperance, and by exercise.”

72

JOHN- II. KNOWLES.

John Knowles’ educational existence began in Lanark. After graduating from Lanark

11. S.. lie taught Public School for two years near his home town. Ambition’s hand then

gripped him and pointed him Queen's-ward, and thus it came that he set out with our goodlie

companie of martyrs of 1911. He has specialized in Math., and he certainly can cipher. But

John's interests are by no means confined to astronomy and the Calculus. He has acted effi¬

ciently on various committees, and on the Executive of his Year as well. His genial manner

has won him many warm friends, who wish him every success when he leaves Queen's.

J. L. LAMONT.

J. Leslie Lamont, mathematician, physicist, and good fellow in general, received his High

School education in Brussels, and after teaching school for three years entered Queen's in

the fall of 'll. to listen to Professor Matheson's dissertations on the Binomial Theorem,

and to worry over "Billy" Baker's problems in Dynamics. He has served his Year on various

committees, and as Secretary, and at present is Secretary of the Math, and Physics Club.

Froth what we know of Leslie, we have no hesitation in prophesying for him a successful

future.

"Let us so live, that when we die even the undertaker will he sorry."—Mark Twain.

ALEXANDER D. LAMONT.

Huron County and Brussels High School had to join hands to produce our ready-witted

“Alec.” His brimming optimism and good cheer have made him a general favorite. He was

Marshal in our final year, while his ability as a debater and his general business sense have

made him invaluable on Executive work. “A. D." is famed particularly as a Math. man.

“A man that fortune's buffets and rewards

. Hast ta’en with equal thanks.”

JOHN P. MARSH.

John was bom at Quebec, educated at Quebec High School, and matriculated from Wood-

stock Baptist College. In the fall of 'll he entered Queen's on a straight B.A. course. A

member of the Choral Society, and for three years its Secretary, and a working member of the

Dramatic Club, he lias made himself distinctly useful to these and other College organizations,

and has made many friends. This year he joined the 5th Company of Queen's Engineers,

and went to Ottawa with the second contingent preparatory to leaving for England.

“For the Dream is the child of the better self,

But the Deed is the man.”

74

MISS JANET WRIGHT MAUS.

Claiming Ayr as her birth-place, Janet Mans secured Normal Entrance from Plattsville

Continuation School in 1912. In 1913 she entered Queen's, having previously taught for a

short time. Before that time, however, she had taken several classes extra-murally. She is

taking the Specialist course in English and History.

Her quiet manner and sweet face have won her many friends, who know that Janet will

prove herself a worthy daughter of Queen's, wherever she may be.

“Faithful, true, and good,

Wearing the rose of womanhood.''

JOHN E. MUCKLE.

Jack is a product of Blenheim Public and Continuation Schools and of Windsor Colle¬

giate. In 1907 he graduated from the Canada Business College. Since coming to Queen's he

has been a participant in most of the phases of College life, and a diligent worker for his

year.

He had the good fortune to receive a Lieutenant's commission in the 3Sth Battalion C.E.

F., and is going overseas with the second contingent. He hopes on returning to continue his

work in Divinity, where his many friends will wish him all success.

“The secret of success is sendee.”

75

E. J. MELVILLE.

Like Robinson Crusoe, he awoke one morning to find himself on an island. But it was an

island in the St. Lawrence, and he passed his juvenile years there very happily, fishing, and

swimming, and now and then going to school. In September, 1908, his man Friday disap¬

peared, so Ed. struck out for the mainland in search of him, locating him finally in the person

of ‘'Gar” Kiell.

After matriculating from Regiopolis College, lie entered Queen's in 'll with the class of

’15. His perpetual good nature here won him many friends, and he has done valuable work in

various branches of sport. Last year he captained our Year Basketball team to a champion¬

ship. and duplicated the performance this year on the gridiron.

“He plays a little, works a little, and fusses now and then.”

MISS JESSIE H. MAITLAND.

Her home is Brewer's Mills, put., she graduated with honours from Gananoque High

School in 1911, and came to Queen's the following fall. In her Specialist course in English

and History she has proved herself a proficient student. She has exhibited considerable exe¬

cutive ability in committees and in the Y. YV. C. A., and was a member of the Choral Society.

“A certain brooding sweetness in her eyes.”

76

MISS ESTELLA M. MORELAND.

Estella was bom under a luck}' star at ‘‘Forest." near Sydenham. Ont., where she received

her early education. A graduate of "S. II. S." and Ottawa Normal School, she joined us in

Queen's in 1911. A member of the Choral Society, ever faithful to her year, "Stelle” has

stood for the best in College life and has won many friends who see for her a bright future.

"None knew her but to love her.

None named her but to praise.”

DAVID L. MacDONELL.

"Davey'j made his debut on the world’s stage in Lancaster, Ontario, and not long after¬

wards graduated from the Williamstown High School. lie then displayed great good sense

by coming to Queen's just in time to join the Freshman year with Arts '15. "Davey" is a

good student and a sterling little athlete. Wrestling and Hockey have thoroughly proved his

ability, and this year he was the unanimous choice for Captain of the year Hockey team. His

willingness to be useful when needed has made him highly esteemed by all members of the

year. He is also our Permanent Marshal.

"Keeps his counsel, does his duty.

Cleaves to friend, and loveth beauty."

77

MISS CHRISTINA F. MacDOUGALL.

Chrissie was born at Lin Clung, China, and came to Canada at an early age. Her early

education she received in Spencerville and Prescott, Ont. After attending Kingston Model,

she taught school for two years. When she entered Queen's in 'll she speedily proved herself

a born leader, whether in a Y. W. C. A. meeting or a Levana frolic. Of the Y. W. C. A. she

has been both President and Secretary. Sports appeal to her, too, for she was a member of

the '15 Ladies’ Championship Basketball team in our Sophomore year. After graduation she

will devote her energies to work in the foreign field.

“She was active, stirring, all fire.

Could not rest, could not tire.

To a stone she might have given life."

JAMES ARNOT MacGREGOR.

James Arnot MacGregor was born in Morewood. Ontario. In '07 he passed his Entrance

to Normal, attended the Ontario Normal School at Ottawa in ’08-'09, and for two years

wielded the rod. But eager for higher learning and a higher sphere of training, “Mae”

came to Queen's in 'll, and after two years in Arts crossed over to Medicine '17, still con¬

tinuing his work in Arts. Books, however, were not the only good he saw at Queen's. His

executive skill and sunny smile has won him many an honorable position among his fellow-

students. His trophies include: the honour of securing the largest number of votes ever

made by any Committeeman in an A.M.S. election; Junior Year Secretary of Arts '15;

delegate to the Kansas City Convention; Treasurer of the Y. M. C. A.; Manager of the Dra¬

matic Club; Chief of Police; President of Choral Society, and last but not least, a member

of the famous Arts ’15 quintette. In sports “Mac” played on his year and faculty champion¬

ship Rugby and Soccer teams and his year team in Basketball. Such a list of services indi¬

cates the spirit which will characterize him as a true son of Queen’s.

“A warmer heart death ne’er made cold.”

78

w. g. macintyre.

William George MacIntyre entered history at Clearwater, Manitoba,* bom of Scottisli-

Canadian parents of lighting stock. Educated in the home school and Brandon Collegiate, \V.

G. next took two terms at Normal, where by leading his class he proved himself quite above

normal. After teaching from W-’ll, a desire for further training turned his steps toward

Queen's and to Arts '15.

"Bill has shone as an all-round man. In scholarship he has excelled, leading three

classes in one session, and winning the Lochead Prize in Politics. But hooks have not monop¬

olized his time, for he has served as year debater, committee worker, and Junior Year Presi¬

dent. In Athletics we need only mention first team Soccer. Harriers, and Track Club, not to

omit our own redoubtable Rugby team.

L nselfish, sympathetic, and modest to a fault, he has won a widening circle of friends,

who were not at all surprised when the call of duty took him overseas with the second contin¬

gent of Queen's Engineers. He is followed by the best wishes of all of us. and we trust that

after he has distinguished himself in war, he will return to win the greater victories of peace,

which his talents and ability will naturally bring him.

“Per ardua."

MISS IRENE MacGREGOR.

Irene MacGregor, better known as "Wee Mac,” was born at Maxville, Glengarry. She

attended High School at Alexandria, and entered Queen's in 1911 with the class of '15. During

these four years she has been famed for several things—a star hockey player on the champion¬

ship hockey team, a near-red head, Scotch music, and a jolly laugh.

“A rosebud set with little wilful thorns.”

79

R. J. MACKENZIE.

‘•Bert’’ came to Queen’s from Port Arthur, although his birthplace was Presque Isle,

()ntario, and his school days were spent at Bruce Mines. Blacksmithing, construction work,

and school-teaching prepared him for his University course. Few men at Queen's have taken

as active a part in College affairs as he. Football, wrestling, the Choral Society, and dozens of

Committees, have known his value. His genial nature, wide experience, and sincerity of

purpose assure him success in the Ministry.

“How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

To rust unburnish’d. not to shine in use!''

MISS BLANCHE E. MacLEOD.

Blanche MacLeod, though not by birth a "blue-nose,” attended both Public School and

Academy in Truro, Nova Scotia. After obtaining her Teachers’ and Senior Matriculation,

she returned in the fall of '12 to her native Province to attend her father's Alma Mater.

While here she has served with credit on several executives and committees, and we have

found her one of those valuable girls on whom we can depend when we want work carried

through.

“Beauteous and self-serene,

Never dreaming of that mien,

Fit for lady or for queen.”

80

J. S. McCORMICK.

"Jim” hails from old Dundas, where he received his early training in the Public and

Continuation Schools of Morewood. He attended Cornwall Model in the fall of '07. For

three years he served at “Knight of the Chalk and Brush/’ but experiencing a profound desire

for further knowledge he waited for the class of '15 to arrive, and then came with them to

Queen’s.

Registered in the Honour course in English and History, "Jim has not confined his

attention to study alone, but has played inter-year Soccer, inter-year and second team Rugby,

was an inter-year championship Debater in the session of 1913-14, and President of the Final

Year. In every way an all-round student, Jim continues still

“With unwearied fingers drawing out

The lines of life from living knowledge hid."

miss jennie McArthur.

The Canadian “Soo," with its roaring rapids and shrill sirens, claims Jennie. There, at

High School, she dreamed over Wordsworth's lyrics, and read with thrilling interest of the

glorious deeds of Wellington. In the fall of '12 came the call from Queen's to continue these

budding fancies in the Specialist course of English and History. A quiet member of the year

in some respects, to her friends she was yet ever bright and interesting.

"And she's twa glancin', sparklin' cen!”

SI

MISS EVELYN McDERMOTT.

Another of our Kingston girls, Evelyn enjoys the distinction of being the only one

mathematically incline I. So marked was this inclination that even while taking preparatory

work at Notre Dame Convent, from which she graduated with honours, she was p aiming out

her College course in advance. So Junior Math., that bugbear of all fair co-eds„ had no

terrors for her. „ . , , Success has also favored her in other branches of study, for not once lias she defaulted

in the spring. Incidentally, Evelyn believes that skating and dancing are good exercise, and

practises them accordingly.

“She is very well acquainted with matters mathematical,

She understands equations, both simple and quadratical.

JOHN ALEXANDER McINNIS.

A big man with a clear head, and the faculty of saying what he means forcibly and

logically,—that is Alex. Melnnis. His reputation as a speaker has pursued him ever since

he attended the Owen Sound Collegiate, through his homesteading days in the West, and

especially here at Queen's. When he was President of our Sophomore year, we heard him

overwhelm the Freshman debaters, and this year his fine work in the Intercollegiate debate

brought him further recognition. In sport his specialty is heavyweight boxing, and he has

represented Queen's in the Assault-at-Arms. Of course, he is a Grit, but then, each of us has

his failing.

“A1 that he spake it was of hygh prudence,

And short and quyk and fill of great sentence."

82

MISS MAMIE V. McDOUGALL.

ANGUS McINTOSH.

Angus spent his early years' and got his early training at Elsinore, Ontario. He joined

ns at Queen’s in 1911 after receiving his High School education at Port Elgin High School

and Owen Sound Collegiate. In College he has served with credit on the Arts Society and

Q. U. M. A. executives, and in his final year was Secretary of the year.

His kindly engaging qualities and his industry have won him the respect and friendship

of all who know him. He purposes next year to enter Theology. May his deserts always

equal his merits.

“Say not that the struggle naught availeth.”

Though Mamie came originally from Bolsover, Out., she attended Jarvis Street Colle¬

giate, Toronto, and Lakefield Continuation School. '15 received her gladly in its Freshman

year, and more so since she brought to it the Stratton Scholarship, along with honours in

the MacDowall. Mamie has had her full share of executive and committee work; she has

worked on committees numberless, she was Secretary of Levana, Prophetess of '15, and is a

member of the Permanent Executive. Nevertheless she found time to get a good deal of

keen enjoyment from the lighter side of College life. Her sunny disposition has endeared her

to all her friends.

"Bright was her face with smiles, and words of welcome and gladness

fell from her lips.”

S3

MISS NORMA E. McFEDRIDGE.

Norma graduated from “Batescourt,” Kingston, and for two years was an enthusiastic

member of our year. She left College in 1913 to follow artistic pursuits, but her abilities as

an artist have always been at the service of Levana, and she has not ceased to take an active

interest in College persons and affairs. She is also a musician and an accomplished cook, and

her ideal disposition is envied by all her friends.

“Here's to the woman who has a smile for every joy, a tear for every sor¬

row. a consolation for every grief, an excuse for every fault, a prayer for every

misfortune, an encouragement for every hope."—Sainle-Foix.

John l. mckinnon.

A native of Grey County. John L. McKinnon received his Public School education near

riceville, spent his High School days in Durham, and attended Stratford Normal in 1908-9.

After teaching for three years he entered Queen's in 1912, with Arts '15. He has specialized

in History and the Globe and has held, among other offices, those of Treasurer of T5,

A. M S Committeeman, Treasurer of the Arts Society, and Sheriff of the Arts Concursus.'

In UM4 he was a member of the team which won the Inter-year Debating championship.

John s outstanding characteristics are his executive ability, his fondness for politics, and

’! of ®Peech- He 1S a little inclined to hero-worship, and has placed upon pedestals

Sir Wilfrid Latiner and the Editor of the Globe. We expect some day to find him occupy¬ ing a similar position himself.

MISS JANET McXABB.

Janet is one of our many representatives from Ottawa. She matriculated from Ottawa

Collegiate, and entered Queen's in the fall of 'll. She was unable, however, to attend the

lull session of her first year, and so joined |15 in her Junior year. She has taken as her motto,

\\ hatever is worth doing, is worth doing well," and it has consistently brought her success.

“Serious her face,

Modest her mien, whose thoughts

Keep pace with gentleness."

J. L. McQUAY.

“Len" was bom at Pickering, Ontario, but at an early age removed to Foxwarren, Mani¬

toba, and took his preparatory training at Portage la Prairie Collegiate. He came to Queen's

in the fall of 'll. and has specialized in History and Political Science, taking consistently high

standing in both. He intends to enter Law. “Len" has been one of our sturdiest athletes.

For two years he held a place on the first Rugby team, was a member of the Queen's squad at

the Intercollegiate Assault-at-Arms in middleweight and heavyweight wrestling, and proved

his worth as an excellent all-round athlete. He is one of our number who enlisted for over¬

seas with the second contingent. We know he will give a good account of . himself in the

great “scrimmage" on the continent, and we trust he will return safely to take his proper place

among the constructive minds of future Canadian leaders.

85

MISS ISABELL McTURK.

In the fall of '12, after two years spent at Western University, Isabell transferred her

allegiance to Queen's. She was bom at Lucan. Out., and it was there she received her

Public and High School education, and matriculated with a Scholarship. “Bubbles” joined

the year '15, among the members of which she lias made many warm friends, all of whom

will agree that

“She's pretty to walk with,

Witty to talk with,

And pleasant, too, to think on.”

WILLIAM G. OLIVER.

William G. Oliver was born of Scotch parents near the village of Staffa. He graduated

from Seaforth Collegiate, attended Model School and taught for two years. After a couple

of years at 'Varsity, “Bill” determined to finish his course with '15 Arts at Queen’s. He has

spent his summers for the past five years in the Canadian West, either on mission fields or

teaching. At present he is attending Normal School at Regina. His many friends at Queen’s

miss his pleasant face and his six feet of good-nature in this our final year.

"And gladly wolde he lerne, and gladly teche."—Chaucer.

S6

WILLIAM PATRICK JOHN O’MEARA.

W. P. J., etc., always just plain “Bill,” is another graduate of Ottawa Collegiate, and

entered Queen's with the Nicholls Foundation No. One Scholarship for English and Mod¬

erns. He was an exemplary President of our Freshman year and one of the first debaters to

represent it. He has played on all our Football and Hockey year teams, and on an Arts

Inter-Faculty championship team in both these sports, has served faithfully on all sorts of

committees, and has been a great source of strength to the Dramatic Club each year.

“BiH's” clearness of mind and versatility will make him a formidable lawyer, and his

generous heart has long ago earned for him a warm place in the esteem of his fellow students.

“Who mixed reason with pleasure an l wisdom with mirth."

MISS MARY O’NEILL.

“May" O'Neill entered Queen's from the Vankleek Hill Collegiate on the Williamson

Scholarship in English and History. She joined T5 in its Sophomore year and has since been

an enthusiastic worker for her year, especially on the Basketball team. Her attractive per¬

sonality has won her many friends.

“ 'Tis not her air, her form, her face,

'Tis the mind that shines in every grace."

87

MISS MONA OSBORNE.

A graduate of Arnprior High School, Mona came to Queen’s with the Freshman year of

Arts '15. Here she lias taken an active interest in the many-sided phases of College life and has made a host of friends.

“Kindness by secret sympathy is told."—Drydcn.

AMBROSE ALOYSIOS PAOLI.

“Amby” is a graduate of Prince of Wales College, Charlottetown. P. E. I. Afterwards

he was engaged as instructor in English on the staff of the College de St. Francois Xavier, at

Riviere du Loup, P.Q. He came to Queen's in 1912 and entered on the second year of a

combined course in Arts and Civil Engineering. He needs no other recommendation than

the fact that he has been elected Rhodes Scholar for his native Province for 1915.

ELMER W. PILGRIM.

“Pill's” early days were spent in Bruce County, and at the age of fourteen he took

Horace Greeley's advice and west West. He attended High School in Battleford. Sask., and

graduated with a scholarship to Saskatchewan University. Since coming to Queens he has

held more offices than there are letters in his name. Among others, he was Secretary of the

A. M. S., President of the Arts Society, member of the first Rugby team, prominent in

Hockey and Basketball, and culminated his brilliant athletic career by transforming our year

Rugby team into the greatest scoring machine seen on the campus in many moons.

“He hath a heart as sound as any bell.”

89

CECIL EUGENE PUTMAN.

Having fittingly completed a successful course at Ottawa Collegiate by winning the

Governor-General’s scholarship for Classics, “Put” entered Queen’s in October. 1911, with

the class of '15. Although out of College the following year, he remained a loyal member of

our class, and turned up again, “as large as life" when we entered on the third lap. He is

specializing in History and Political Science, where his logical mind and thoroughness of

method early distinguished him. We are looking for “Put" to do big things in the future.

“His worth is warrant for his welcome hither."

BERNARD I. RIELLY.

"B. I." first kicked his feet in the air at Sydenham, Ont., and it was there, too, that he

received his Public and High School training. A graduate of Ottawa Normal, lie was the

eminently successful principal of St. Mary's graded school, Kingston. In College he has

taken first-class Honours in nearly ever)' examination, and won the prize in European His¬

tory in 1913. He was Secretary-Treasurer of his year in 1911, and for three years Chairman

of the Arts '15 Debate Committee. He is an excellent speaker, which will stand him in good

stead in the legal profession which he purposes to enter.

"The worthiest, sir, that ever country called his!"

90

ADRIAN ILDERIM REVELLE

Born in the County of Frontenac, in the latter part of the 19th century. Attended

Sydenham High School and obtained his Normal Entrance in 1911, entering Queens in the

fall of that year. He intends to follow law at Osgoode after the fall of Berlin, but mean¬

time he is studying military tactics with the O. T. C.

‘‘Learn, nor account the pang;

Dare, never grudge the throe."

IAN E. REVELLE.

Ian is a son of the Limestone City, although his early training was secured in Hartington

Public School and Sydenham High School. He obtained his Faculty Entrance in 1911. and

the same fall came to Queen's, where he has been specializing in English and History. He

is speedy on the cinder path, and the cartoons which add to the life of our Year Book come

from his ready hand and fertile brain. His manner is unassuming and pleasing, he is thor¬

oughly well liked by his class-mates, and his ability should find him a cosy little niche in the

Temple of Fame. “If you get simple beauty and naught else.

You get about the best tiling God invents."

—Fra Lippo Lippi.

91

MISS MYRTLE V. REYNOLDS.

Myrtle attended Western University in her home town of London for three years, win¬

ning the Governor-General's medal for highest standing in her final year. From Western

she went to Toronto to take her Faculty of Education. With all this knowledge stored in her

little head she came to Queen's in '13 to obtain a Specialist standing. Here she has sustained

her reputation as a medalist by capturing the Alexander gold medal in Prelim. German. She

has also been a prominent member of the Dramatic Club, and has made for herself a wreath

of friends.

"A miniature of loveliness, all grace,

Summ’d up and ’closed in little."

MISS DOROTHY E. RONEY.

"Dorrie" is another of our Kingston girls, who entered Queen’s with Senior Matricula¬

tion in the fall of 1911. Always a cheerful and willing worker, her bright smile and warm

heart have found her many true friends.

"Her air, her manner, all who saw admired ;

Courteous, though coy, and gentle, though retired.”

MISS FLORA M. SCHOFIELD.

Flora was born, brought up, and educated in the Limestone City, and entered Queen’s

with ’15 on a pass course preparatory to Civil Service. She is one of those inconspicuous

members of the year, whom everyone knows and everyone likes,—genial, vivacious, and full

of a good humour that makes her a delightful companion. Site is very optimistic, and has a

faculty of imparting her bright view of life to her friends. But she combines successfully

with this light-heartedness a great diligence at work, and the eight o'clocks she missed were

might}' few. With an unusual fund of common sense, and a charming naivety of manner,

she is, in truth,

“A dancing shape, an image gay,

To haunt, to startle, and way-lay."

CAMPBELL C. SCOTT.

"Scotty" was born near Perth, and attended Perth Collegiate. Long before he entered

Queen's he gave promise of future athletic brilliancy by excelling in various lines of sport.

Perhaps his favorites were running and baseball; be was a slab artist of unusual ability. At

Queen's he has excelled in Boxing, Wrestling, etc., has played on the first Rugby team and

was a member of the Intercollegiate track team. Add to that the fact that “Scotty" was a

first-rate student, and we find unanimous agreement in pronouncing him emphatically an all¬

round man. He was one of the first to offer his services for overseas, and left Queen’s in January of

this year with the 5th Company of Canadian Engineers (Queen’s University Corps) 2nd con¬

tingent. He takes with him the heartiest wishes of his class-mates for a successful military

career, and a safe return to his native land.

"One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward.”

93

GEORGE E. SHORTT.

George E. Shortt, a son of Dr. Adam Shortt, was born within sight of the University,

and grew np in the College atmosphere. He attended Kingston Collegiate, Trinity College

School and Ottawa Collegiate. At the latter institution he was President of the Lyceum and

editor of the school paper.

Returning to Queen's in 1911, he joined Arts To. He was elected Prophet, Editor of

"Round '15," Arts representative on the Political Science Club executive, and manager of the

year hockey team which won the championship that season. Next year he was elected to

manage the year Rugby team, and was nominated for the A. M. S. Committee. He was also

on the Journal staff. After his second year he took his classes extra-murallv. but has kept in

close touch with the College.

"And if I laugh at any mortal iking.

'Tis that I may not weep."

JOHN R. SHEPPARD.

John is a native of Berlin, and received his educational training there. In 1910 he secured

his Normal Entrance and Junior Matriculation, and in the two years following both parts of

his Entrance to Faculty. In the fall of 1912 he entered Queen's on a Science Specialist

course, and since then his name has appeared in the first place of Division One in most of his classes.

94

MISS KATI-IERIXE J. SIMMONS.

Katherine entered Queen's in 1911, another worthy daughter of the K.C. I. In her Sophomore year she was pianist of ’15 and a member of the Choral Society. Although •Karn" forsook her class-mates in the spring of '14 for the sterner duties of life, her cheerful

smile may yet sometimes be seen about our College halls.

“A reason firm, a temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill."

J. M. SINGLETON.

J. M. is another of those Athens stars. Bearing the name of the famous blind poet, John Milton, he possesses in a measure some of the same characteristics, the most prominent of which is his philosophical insight. He first came to Queen's in ’OS. when he joined our friends of Science Hall. Ill-health forced him to leave College at the end of his second year, but after three years spent in Saskatchewan he returned to Queen's in the fall of '13. and allied himself to Arts T5. In his final year he successfully captained a debate against

the Juniors. “A proper man as one shall see in a summer's day."

95

MISS WILHELMINA SLY.

“Winnie" came to Queen's from Athens High School, bearing in her pocket a gold medal

for General Proficiency. She has ever been in great demand at our year meetings, where she

has frequently charmed us with selections from all the poets. She played wing on our

Junior \ ear Hockey team,—and we won the championship. To know her was in itself a

liberal education.

The light that lies in woman's eyes,—and lies, and lies, and lies, and lies.”

GORDON E. SNIDER, B.A.

Like so many of Glengarry's favorite sons, Gordon received his earlier education in wiL hamstown High School At Queen's he has developed to a high degree his earh lasL for

Classics and English. He graduated in 1913, and the same fall became a member of Arts '15

manl altlV?™^ 19 ^ he l'rar'1 » «11 to enter Medicine. A genial man m all Ins ways, he has formed a wide circle of friends.

"Great love I bear to a’ the fair;

Their humble slave and a’ that."

96

HERBERT L. SPANK IE.

The picturesque readies of Wolfe Island were the first to hear the early declamations of

this future Canadian statesman. We have known him as a man of many parts, of more than

ordinary ability, and withal of striking presence. In executive work he has shown unusual

talent, serving on the Arts Society, and this year on the Permanent Executive of Arts T5.

His splendid work as Prosecuting Attorney in 1912 in the Arts Coneursus and in the A. M. S.

Court in 1915 marks him as a man of great promise in Law. This year, as Intercollegiate

Debater for Queen’s, he exhibited that logical, persuasive eloquence which we take to be but

an earnest of a notable future. Everyone who has heard him in the Dramatic Club will recall

his skilful interpretation of the leading role in the play, "You Never Can Tell."

"Yet I doubt not thro' the ages one increasing purpose runs,

And the thoughts of men arc widen’d with the process of the suns."

—Locksloy Hall.

MISS ANNIE MARGARET STEELE.

The light of day first beamed on Annie in the little village of Avonmorc, Out. There,

too, she received her early training, and passed her Normal Entrance examination with hon¬

ours. In the fall of 1911 she came to Queen’s. A faithful and diligent student, she has yet

found interest in the many-sided activities of College life, while her radiant smile and

cheery disposition have gathered true friends to her from every part.

"It is easy enough to be pleasant,

When everything goes like a song;

But the girl worth while is the girl witli a smile,

When everything goes dead wrong."

97

JAKE STEEN.

Morewood, Ontario, claims the distinction of being Jake’s birthplace. After receiving

bis Public and High School education in the schools of this village, he spent three years in

imparting fragments of the knowledge obtained to the rising generation, coming finally to

Queen s in the fall of 'll. Being fond of the Sciences, he registered in the Science Special¬

ist course, and has pursued it with excellent success.

His quiet Celtic humour and retiring disposition, combined with a strong personality,

have won him many friends. He has served his year on the Soccer and Rugby gridirons as

well as on the Debating platform, and Arts '15, in recognition of his sterling qualities, has

justly honored him by making him its Permanent President.

‘‘Nature has copies which Art cannot imitate."

ALFRED JAMES STRUTI-IERS.

A. J. crawled into existence in a little log cabin somewhere in the Dakotas. He learned

Ins A B C s at Stratford in ante-phonetic days, and distinguished himself at Collegiate by

throwing Stevenson's boots through the third-storey window. Taking Education at Toronto,

he taught in Manitoba and took extra-mural work for three years.

Since entering Queen’s last year, he won the Lochead scholarship in Economics played

on the year Hockey team, was an energetic Secretary of the University Debate Committee and grew some moustache.

“Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;

Pie thinks too much; such men are dangerous."

98

HARTLEY MUN'ROE THOMAS.

> w\

Hartley Munroe Thomas was born in Montreal. A Methodist minister's son. he received

his elementary education at numerous points in Quebec and Ontario. After taking Honour

Matriculation work in the K. C. I., he entered Queen's in the fall of 1012, on the course in

Political Science and History. On the outbreak of the European War he was appointed war

editor for the Regina Province. From his fondness for first divisions we foretell a brilliant

future for him.

“His only books were woman's looks."

MISS IRENE TOOLE.

Gananoque, the "Gateway to the Thousand Islands," is the home of our dear little

“Toolie." Having obtained her Teacher's and Matriculation with honours, she came to

Queen’s in the fall of '11. A girl of sterling character, Irene has won the love of all her

class-mates by her bright and sympathetic ways. She is a faithful student, but she always

finds time to take a keen interest in the social life of Queen’s. Here's to her future success!

"The very pattern girl of girls."

99

MISS ALENE MARIE TOVELL.

That's Alene Marie Tovell upon the page

Looking as if she were alive; I call

That girl a wonder now; Queen’s College

Labored busily a while, and there she stands.

Wilt please you sit and look at her? She came

From Sydenham, her father js a doctor there, of note.

Honours in English, Journalism, deep debate,

For these she looks at you a thought more earnestly,

But not less kindly. She had indeed

A mind, how shall I say ? so keen to grasp.

So easily impressed; she learned whate’er

She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.

Oh, Sir! she smiled

Whene’er I passed her—and who passed without

Much the same smile? and so we love her_

Then why not witness, calmly gazing.

If earth holds Slight,-BIS|truth—above her?

MISS NELLIE GRACE TOTTON.

Nellie was born near Stirling, Out., where she received her early education. She "rad-

uated from Campbellford High School, attended Normal in Peterboro', taught two yea's in

Ontario and a summer in Saskatchewan, and entered Queen's in the fall of ’ll. In the ranks of ’15 her happy sociability won her many friends.

100

MISS LUELLA TRAVES.

I.uclla came to Queen's in 1911. Site is a graduate of Sydenham High School, whose

halls have furnished so many loyal students to Queen's. At College KLu” has specialized in

skating, taking Pass, Prelim., and Final Honour classes. She was a member of our Inter-

year Hockey team in our Junior Year. Her merry manner has won her a host of friends,

and we know success will follow her in her future career as it has done in her College life.

“What! care killed a cat,

And therefore let's be merry!"

W. RUSSELL URLIN.

"Russ" came originally from Dutton in Elgin County, and received his early training

there and at St. Thomas. After teaching several years in Ontario and the West, he heeded

the demands of his ambitions and trailed into Queen's as a Science man of 'll. He thought

better of it next year! however, and transferred to Arts '15 and a Mathematics Specialist

course, which he has pursued with credit.

A man whose industrious habits never lessen bis cheery good nature, lie is respected and

esteemed by all who know him. As Secretary of the Permanent Executive, the members of

Arts '15 will find him a ready and capable intermediary.

“Thou art e'en as just a man,

As e'er my conversation coped withal."

101

MISS VIOLET WARREN.

i

Elliott, Ontario, claims credit for the primary education of this demure and brown-eyed

maiden. Then Perth Collegiate, which has sent forth so many illustrious sons and daughters

to Queen's, continued the good work. The lure of Queen’s first drew her, in 'll, to the

Faculty of Education, but the very next year found her in Arts '15. Such was her diligence,

her modesty and her shyness, that on only one occasion did she appear before the public eye.

On that occasion she thrilled us with her eloquence as a Levana debater, for '15.

"You are an elegant scholar,

Having the graces of speech, and skill in the turning of phrases.”

C. B. WHYTE.

Born in Leeds village. Quebec, but graduating from Moosomin Collegiate. Saskatchewan,

C. B. Whyte came to Queen’s in 1911 on a preparatory course for Law. A good student, lie

has also been conspicuously successful in College Athletics. He was a member of the first

Rugby team, and in Hockey his brilliant rushes were more than once the feature of a hard-

fought Intercollegiate game. In College circles his quiet but manly bearing made him many friends.

"And you should have the sun and moon to wear,

If I were king.”

102

J. J. WILSON.

Lucky Jim was bom at Guelpli, and took second place in liis class at Fergus High

School with one and one-half years' attendance. At Toronto Normal in 1908-09 he obtained

highest marks in practical work, and was President of the “Lit." At Shallow Lake, one of

the two schools where he served as Principal, Jim took extra-mural work with Queen's. He

joined our illustrious year in T3 and has been here ever since. He hopes some day to be a

Normal School lecturer, and. as he doesn’t fuss, why shouldn't lie?

"All experience is an arch wherethro’

Gleams that untravell’d world, whose margin fades

For ever and for ever when I move.

—Ulysses.

MISS EMILY MILDRED WILSON.

This fair Canadian-American came to Queen's from Cattle Creek, Michigan, in the fall

of '12, although her High School education was derived in St. Thomas Collegiate, where she

took her Honour Matriculation.

From her attendance upon her first Year meeting, Emily has been a loyal and promi¬

nent member of Arts'15. She has served on various committees, and last year was appointed

cartoonist for the Year Book. Her artistic abilities were also shown in the clever design for

the Queen’s Calendar for 1915.

Her winning manner has gained her a host of friends in the halls of Queen's. She

expects to graduate this year in the "course of time.”

“She liked whate’er she smiled upon,

And her smile went everywhere.”

103

NORMAN ROY WRIGHT.

Norman made positively his first appearance at Stewiackc, Nova Scotia. After attend¬

ing Public School and Truro Academy, he went West in the autumn of '09, where he

engaged in mission work for three years. His academic career has been badly interrupted by

sickness and war.—Honour Matric. at North Battleford H. S., was followed by a year at Sas¬

katchewan University, and that by a year at Queen's.

N. R. has the distinction of being the first member of the year to respond to the country’s

call, and he is now a kilted officer with the Royal Nova Scotia Regiment, first contingent. All

hope he may return with even greater distinctions.

"Worthy fellow; and like to prove most sinewy swordsman."

MISS FLORA A. FORSTER.

Born in Gananoqne in 1S92, graduating after three years' attendance at Alexandria High

School with the McLennan Scholarship for highest Junior Matriculation Standing in Glen¬

garry County. Flora Forster came to Queen’s in 1911. In May, 1913, she moved to Kingston.

In February of the same year ill-health compelled her to leave College, and on September 7th

she passed away at her home on Upper William Street, and was laid to rest in Peterborough cemetery.

Her sweet and unaffected disposition had made for her a host of friends during her

sojourn at Queen’s, who deeply mourn her untimely death.

"And from her fair and unpolluted flesh

May violets spring!"

PAUL F. SCAMMELL.

Paul was born at Tamwortli, Ontario, but came at an early age to live in Kingston. He

graduated from the K. C. I., and distinguished himself by winning two scholarships at

matriculation. A member of Arts '14 during his first year, he saw the error of his ways and

threw in his lot with '15 in the very next year. At the end of his Junior year he left Queen's

for the Department of the Naval Service at Ottawa, where he completed his degree extra-

murally. Those who know his sterling qualities expect to hear from him in the future.

“He was a verray parfit, gentyl knight.”

REGINALD MILLER MacMULLEN.

Reginald was born, in his early days, at Duns ford. Out. The "small boy" stage of his

metamorphosis was shaped by the home school. Thence he passed on to Lindsay Collegiate,

where, according to some authorities, he was noted for successive changes of lodgings. After

leaving Collegiate, he taught four years, and then came on to Queen’s, where he has been an

active and loyal member of our year. Earnest, jovial and industrious, Reg. has the qualities

which will assure success for him in his chosen work, the Ministry.

“Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit."
