Convocation Week at the Pro.
vincial University.
The week ending June pith was in
many respects the important week of
Ileo year at the University of Toronto
Le portant because, for those who
were graduating, it marked, the cul-
mination of four years of study and
the commencement of their life's work.
Never in the history of the University
have so many degrees been granted in
one year—there were this year one
thousand and ninety-six graduates in
Arts, Medicine, Applied Soienee and
Engineering, Education, Forestry,
Music, Agricuiture, Dentistry, Law,
Veterinary Science, and Pharmacy.
•
But the newly - fledged graduates
were not by any mesas the only peo-
ple concerned in the activities ef Con-
vocation Week. The Alumni, Keratic
ates of almost all previous years, were
back in large numbers at the Univer-
sity to renew the acquaintances and
the interests of earlier days. The
"twos" and the "sevens" held class
re -unions and it was inspiring to see
graduates of the yeara 1872, 182.7,
1882, 1887, 1892, 1897, 1902, 1907, 1912,
and 1917, men and women who have
attained distinction in various 'walks
of life, enjoying the companionship'
of, the college friends of years ago.
Truly, the University of Toronto has
reason to be proud ef her thousands
of graduates. In his address to the
alumni, Sir Robert Falconer stated
that the year just closed has been in
