Professor Hewitson, who was a member of the council from 1903 to 1922, and expresses to his widow and relatives its deep sympathy with them in the loss they have suffered. On the retirement of Professor Hewitson from the council the members placed on record their high appreciation of his valuable services to the University as a councillor. _ They now gratefully acknowledge that since his retirement he had used every opportunity by speech and pen to point the University and the community to high educational ideals. During his mastership of Knox College, extending over a period of some years, many of the University students were brought under the influence of his personality, an influence which will be an important factor for good in their lives. In other ways also Professor Hewitson had consistently shown great public spirit and had been a leader both in the church, of which he was an ornament, and in the general activities of this city.” It was resolved that a copy of tin’s resolution be sent to Mrs Hewitson.
