CURRELLY Head of Ontario Museum Started Rife Work on Manitoba Mission Field-A-Chance Changes Career Caravans of loaded camels, freighted motor barges' slowly moving down the Nile, and from thence loaded steamships sailing across the'seas to many lands—in such a way has the appeal of the antique thing and the love of that which is ancient and shrouded in mystery been communi cated to the outside world for many years, says a writer in the Toronto Star Weekly. Egypt, that land of a wonderful ancient civilization, with its hidden tombij and its veil of mys tery and romance, has intrigued our modern minds, and .has lured many of the most intrepid into the search for its secrets. Many famous arch aeologists have been before the pub lic notice in the past few years, but of special interest to Exeter as one of our own fellow-citizens, is Prof. Charles Tripk Currelly, direc tor of the. Royal Ontario Museum, who has done important work for Egyptology in general, and for the museum at Toronto in particular. The ways of the gods aqd of the fates are known to be strange, but it is not often that a man begins his career as a< Methodist lay mission ary in the districts of Manitoba, and in a few years has become known as an eminent “ ................. discoveries but this is life story. archaeologist, with many in Egypt to his credit; part of Prof. Currelly’s Born in Exeter was born in Exeter, Ont., in and graduated in the natural He 1876, science course in Victoria University in 1898, after which he began lay missionary work in the Dauphin district in Manitoba. After two years he returned to the university to supplement the theological train ing with the study of philosophy, political science, Greek and Hebrew. Here he met Prof. Mavor, who was instrumental in persuading him to go to France to study social and political conditions. Before he left London, however, Prof. Currelly met th© great Egyptologist, Prof. Lin ders Petrie, who was head of the Egypt Exploration Fund, and who was just leaving on an expedition to the eastern land. Prof. Currelly was offered the position of assis tant to Prof. Petrie, which he ac cepted Prince career 1902. on the advice of his friend Kropatkin. In this way, his as an Egyptologist began, in Prof. Currelly has spent many yeai’s in Egypt and on the continent, excavating and studying relics, has personally to his credit the covery of the tomb of Ahmest, Pharoah who is spoken of in the Bible as tlie king “who knew not Joseph.” Lie also discovered sevex-- al other important relics belonging to this king and his reign. Prof. Currelly had beexi interested by Chancellor Burwash in the foun dation of a Victoria College Museum which idea latex- became that of a university museum, and Prof. Cur relly became official collectox- fox- it. He has made many trips to the east and to tlxe continent to obtain anti ques and curios and other valuable objects fox* the museum. Indeed, he has been personally responsible obtaining much of tlxe wonderful lection now under his care at museum. He knows the history the value of his collection and a trip through the museum witK/xim is a wonderful education. ■ s Prof. Curreiiy is not only interest ed xxx archaeology and exploration, by any means. He is also a suc cessful farmer and slxee^-breeder, and perhaps a trip over a rural On tario farm with him would prove as instructive as the trip through the museum, and would possibly be as strange and wonderful to many city people as the mysterious Egyptian collection. . .
