' Truly,in fact, is 'the Univity of
Western Ontario your "University_ Of
all of the graduates of the University
last spring, in all courses, 85 per cent.
were from Western Ontario. There
were last year 148 students 3Y['attend•--
mance from Huron County. It is there-
fore reasonable and right that the
University has Always been interest-
ed,in and concerned 'with the activi
ties within Huron County.
One of the most. inspo'rtanit parts of
any Y University, the most important
actually after the students and stiff,
ie' the library and it is With great
pride that eve have one of the finest
working libraries in Canada with more
than 174;000 volumes, under the cap-
able direction of Professor >Lan-
don, who wrote, among other ks,
the fascinating story of `"Lake Huron."
Professor Tatman, who has long been
associated with our library, likewise
has made the history of Western On-
tario his chief interest and has com-
piled from many old records exciting
facts About pioneer life in this part
of Canada.. Dr. bbl, our President,
has for many years shown a specific
intert"t' in Huron County; his book.
'Taint Running No More," a story of
the river at 'Grand Bend, is pleasant
and delightful reading. ..
The work of Mr. Jury, the curator
of, our Museum, is almost specifically
directed toward the Indian and Prov-
tier history of Western Ontario. Mr.
Jury's interests and activities in the
excavation of Indian camp sites is a
stimulatingresearch, and through his
efforts much is being learned about
the community life of the Indians who
made Western Ontario their home in
centuries past; The Huron Indians,
the' Neutral Indians, and the Tobacco
Indians living its different parts of',
Western Ontario, each had their own'.

would preserve these Indian sites for

that stories to be told would be of real

`ot only is Western Ontario rich in
Indian history, but it has, had 'a color-

Although something, is known about
the "origin of Seaforth and the 'sur-
rounding municipalities, a great deal
yet ,remains to be learned. Laid out,
approximately in 1850, by three men,
Patton, LeFroy and Bernard, Seaforth
was named. after Seaforth, in Scotland.
Potton, a law partner of the famous
John A MacDonald in «Kingston, Le'
Froy and Bernard, lawyers in Barrie,
apparently came to Seaforth; there
must be a story there! The adjoin-
itg village'•ef 'Edthondville and Sea -
forth combined: to complete a station
on the Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail-
road which was completed in 1858, al-
most ninety years ago. .Eglnondville
is call after Anthony Van Egmond, an
interesting character. Born, in Hol-,
land, he served with Napoleon, is said
to have liken on the famous retreat
from 'Moscow, and there joined the al-
lies and served with Blucher at Wa-
terloo. Coming to America and then
to Waterloo County, he got a job
building roads for the Canada Com-
pany
ompany and thus settled at Egmondville.
With the Rebellion of 1837, this man

at Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge
