He then removed to Williamstown in the county of Glengarry, where he became minister of the Church of Scotland. Dr. John Bethune Actg. The future acting-Principal of McGill, the Rev. John Bethune, the younger, was born at Williamstown, Glengarry County, in January, 1791. He received his education at the school of the Rev. Dr. John Strachan at Cornwall, already referred to.
Sir William Dawson was Principal of McGill for thirty-eight years, more than a third of the century that has passed since the establishment of the University, and almost half of the period since its actual opening.

I've really started my book at last. And I find the fellows here know nothing whatever about literature. There isn't even a library in the place."
McGill University, June, 1912. ONE. The Hostelry of Mr. Smith I don't know whether you know Mariposa. If not, it is of no consequence, for if you know Canada at all, you are probably well acquainted with a dozen towns just like it.
