    of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields to Westminster Abbey. If, insteiid of the re-interment of the body—lifeless for sixty-six years—Hunter could have been restored to life in this world, it is only reasonable to conclude from the opinions expressed in several of his writings that he would have greeted the “Origin of Species” with great delight, and would have given it the readiest and fullest acceptance. For these amongst other more general reasons does our College, with special zest and gladness, beg to offer to the University our best wishes for the success of these Memorial Ceremonials, and to thank her for affording us the pleasure and satisfaction of joining with the representatives of the liberal arts and sciences from all parts of the world in this tribute of honour to the name and fame of one of her most illustrious sons. Henry Morris, President.
