He .had endeared limself to the whole cooistunity by he interest he had taken in all its icsivities. He probably did not know r. what high esteem he was actually ;eld. Lord Bledisloe said that he was ;ratified at the eulogistic welcome he tad received. He had conic to the wr.chccn with no speech prepared, ;ut had intended to speak on the spur ?f the moment, basing his remarks op ihe eloquer.ee of the president in h'.. : vclcominc: speech. That speech had jeers so short that 51 gave him very 'ew pecs on which to fcar.g any observations. His Excellency expressed his pro'ound regret at the death of tho "ounder of Rotary in New Zealand. Sir Zleorse Fowlris. He was a man of the highest integrity and jdcals. The work te did in education alone would ears; tfm a place in the annals of New Zealand. but his influence extended fai sevor.d the two colleges with whiclt te'was most intimately concerned. Hi? Excellency also referred to Mr T.
