We have been led to make
t1iiese remarks because We have
before us a volume written by
Dr, Charles T, Currelly, Can-
ada's most outstanding archaeo-
logist, who boasts that he came
(front, Exeter. Few nien in their
lifetime can view with such
satisfaction . their achievements
las Mr. Currelly. He was respon-
Bible for the establishment of the
I Royal Ontario Museum, recog-
nized as one of, the finest in the
'world, and he was director of the
museum until his retirement re-
cently.
In, an autobiography called
"I Brought the Ages Hobe," Dr•
Currelly tells the fascinating
story of his life from school days
in Exeter until his retirement.
One would expect a book by an.
archaeologist to be deadly dull,
but this book is bright, breezy
= and witty,, as he tells of his ad-
ventures in tracing down, and
building up his magiiific6nt cel -
lection often with little or no
funds, and the many interesting
people he has met.
* * * •
I was a youthful undergraduate
at Victoria College when I first
mot Dr. Currelly. To Students he
r was already somewhat of a fabu-
lous figure. He had just returned
from Egypt, where by chance
and persistence he hadjoined in
London an Expedition to Egypt
1 udder the direction of Sir F'lin-
f 'dors Petrie, the rioted archaeolo-
1 gist. This chaiiged his whole
1 life. He was• headed at that time
for the ministry and served ler
some time as a student Mission-
ary in Manitoba—a rather un-
happy adventure. Ile decided to
give up theology and become an
1 archaeologist. Dr. N a t h a n c 1
1 Burwash, at, the time chancellor
of Victoria, ntet . him :.in London
• and encouraged him. He also
saw an opportunity to establish
a museum in connection with
1 Victoria, But this • was later
found impractical. For several
years he took part in various ex-
peditions in Egypt, Crete and
Palestine and visited most of the
museums of Europe.
* •'r..1
Returning to Canada in the fall
of 1065 he ntet Sir Edmund
Walker, head of the Bank of
Commerce and a patron of the
arts. He told him of his dreaitl
of Starting a trtuaeum in Toronto.
Walker became greatly ..,inter-
ested and after his return to
Egypt he receLved. a •letter from

Easton reported Wednesday.
"In many clubs we have had
just 'as many, and sometimes
moge, members. than last year
enrol on opening night," he said,
There are always a. number who

Exception to the trend was
experienced Tuesday night

He 'wrote; "I 'waited most anxi-
ously and niy heart sank as front

Blake roared "''rubbish'." There
was a niotttent's pause add then
the roar continued "give him fif-

powered to spend that atitourit
of money and in due course he
received notice front Prof
Hutton that he had been appoin-

bluntly to Sir James Whitney,
then premier, and told him if
there WAS any objection in the
House to voting $400,000 for a
new 'museum he would put it up
himself: The outcome was that
it was decided to proceed with
the museum By using every
