Excerpt from University of Ottawa Review, Vol. 4: September, 1901 It behooves me, as Rector of the University, to make a few remarks on the occasion of the closing exercises of this scholastic year. It is a pleasing duty for me to do so on account of the very flattering report that I have to present to our friends and well wishers with regard to the present prosperous condition of our institution. Our year's work has been, indeed, most satisfactory from every point of View. Students and professors have contri buted towards this successful result. We have had, this year, the happy experience that devoted and zealous professors with honorable and studious pupils constitute a perfect college home. Our sincerest wish, then, is that the young men confided to our care during the year may, by their upright and manly conduct, deserve the same praise at the hands of the good and self-sacrifi cing parents to whom they will soon return. It is a great satisfaction to us to note that every student yes, I may even say, without exception - has made a profitable use of the opportunities so abundantly offered him in this University for the development of his moral, intellectual and physical faculties. We believe and maintain that the moral training is the most impor tant, hence it should come first. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
