Blake scholarship in Moderns and Mathematics, and first Edward Blake scholarship in Moderns and Science. • This is not the first time that this clever young studenthas won • dis- tinction for himself and brought hon- or to his school, • as he has been all along most successful. Last year in the Faulty of Education CkaTiliza. 'lions he was •one of three students' in the province who, baying taken both pants, passed in both taking honors in one. Douglas carries his himors lightly and is extremely modest in regard to them, but such a school record re- flects credit epoa his mental abilit- ies, and no less upon his application. It also reflects credit upon the school'. which turns out such students and the citizens of Clinton have reason to bo proud of the record of the E.T. Douglas' many friends, both old and young in Clinton, join heartily in congratulating him and, will watch with keen and kindly interest his tarter at the University.
