Abstract
McGILL University of Montreal, which has just been celebrating the centenary of its foundation, has shown of late a capacity for attracting prodigious benefactions, such as may well excite the envy of less fortunate institutions even in America. A gift of 1,000,000 dollars from the Carnegie Corporation, New York, βin recognition of the noble and devoted service and sacrifice of McGill towards Canada's part in the Great War,β was followed by subscriptions last year by citizens of Montreal and graduates amounting to more than 4,000,000 dollars, a grant of 1,000,000 dollars by the Quebec Provincial Government, and 1,000,000 dollars for medical education from the Rockefeller Foundation of New York. To few institutions has it been given to receive within a short space of time such magnificent tributes from such various sources.
