    or position with others. In this respect Dr. Dickie has ren¬ dered a service to this College, for which I am truly grateful. Hot less useful has he been as a Member of the College Council in his turn, and as a man of sound judgment and ex¬ tensive collegiate and general knowledge, whom it was always safe and satisfactory to consult. As a Member of the Senate of the Queen’s University, through which body Dr. Dickie was appointed our Examiner for the degrees and exhibitions which they confer, I can state that he held, in the estimation of his distinguished colleagues, the highest position in regard both to the knowledge he pos¬ sesses and the judicious application of it in conducting exami¬ nations. In common with the other authorities here, I regard it as an honour to this College, while due to Dr. Dickie, that last year he was selected as Examiner, in his department, of the candidates for the appointments in the East India Company’s Service. Whilst many distinguished Professors are in various quar¬ ters unable to control their classes, Dr. Dickie, by a union of firmness and kindness, has always secured the observance of discipline in his class-room. Taking, therefore, into account the learning, the earnestness, the experience, and various resources of this Gentleman, I think it would be difficult to find any one, in all respects, equal to him as a Professor.
