    Meeting for a few minutes. I think we cannot, while meeting in St. Mary’s School, avoid an unanimous vote of thanks to one who was not only originally a prime mover in the organization of his colleagues, which led to the formation of the School, hut who has also, by his daily, almost hourly, attendance during the erection of the building, been the cause of that remarkable commoclious- ness and adaptation to its purpose which has been the subject of comment. And—what is to those engaged as Lecturers of more importance than all—the same active and steady mind has, by its moral influence, kept up a tone of gentlemanly scholarlike and Christian feeling among the pupils, which is a peculiar comfort to those who take to heart the honour of their profession. It is scarcely neces- sary, after this preamble, to name Mr. Spencer Smith, the Dean of St. Mary’s School, as one from whom it is impossible to part this day without cordially thanking. The motion having been seconded by Dr. Sib son, was warmly received, and briefly responded to by the Dean, who said that the Proceedings of that day afforded him an ample reward for his imperfect services.
