for its thorough work and for the able schol- ars it graduated into the more advanced uni- versities—Doctor Anderson won and still re— tains the affection and admiration of nearly every student in the higher or in the humbler walks of life who passed through his hands. As an instructor his success has been phe- nomenal and the results will never be fully realized nor fully appreciated by the present generation—great and generous though its appreciation undoubtedly is. Pupils privi— leged to sit under the Doctor have carried off scholarships medals and prizes in the leading universities of Great Britain, Canada and the United States.

Not only as an educationalist but also in the realms of science and English litera- ture, as well as a lecturer on the plays of Shakespeare, on the writings of Sir Walter Scott, of Robert Burns and on the wonder— ful life of Savonarola of Italy is Doctor An— derson eminently distinguished, having lec— tured with marked acceptance before popular audiences in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Doctor Anderson is a gentleman of un- blemished character, eminent scholastic at— tainment, wide visioned, of a largeness and breadth of view and sure direction of en- deavor which have ranked him with the fore- most professors and scholars in Canada and earned him the reputation which justly en- titles him to be named “the Arnold of Prince Edward Island.” His motto has ever been:

“I live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the heaven that smiles above me And awaits my spirit too; For the cause that needs assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, For the good that I can do."
