The colour came to his cheek; it was a repulse inflicted only on idle men who could not be trusted beyond the eye of the Dean of the College. The Vice-Principal seemed to expect him to ask the reason of his proceeding; as Charles, in his confusion, did not seem likely to do so, he condescended to open the conversation. It was not meant as any reflection, he said, on Mr.
"Knowing this to be true from experience, the principal and vice-principal of the Philomathian Institute will do all in their power to keep their pupils in the paths of wisdom, and pleasantness, and peace, as Shakspeare, the sweet swan of Avon, says. In one word, it will be the object and aim of Mr. and Mrs.
The Vice-Principal was given land behind the College to enable him to make a garden, "on condition that he would not interfere with the Bursar's garden." The Governors and the Board of the Royal Institution were unwilling to encroach upon the meagre capital to pay for ordinary running expenses.
Fluxion, having occasion to go on shore, invited Paul to accompany him. "It will not seem much like Sunday to you in Rotterdam," said the vice-principal, as they landed at the quai. "I supposed the Dutch were very strict." "Some of them are. Look down that street," said Mr. Fluxion, as he pointed to the broad avenue which bordered the great river.
I was informed by the vice-principal that a report relative to Napoleon was sent from the College of Brienne to that of Paris, in which he was described as being domineering, imperious, and obstinate.
Between 1849 and 1852 very few meetings of the Governors were held, owing to the absence of the Governors from Montreal.

Stand by the jib-halyards!" "Anchor a-weigh, sir!" said Cleats, who was doing duty on the forecastle. "Hoist the jib!" "Up with the jib!" repeated Peaks. As the anchor came up to the hawse-hole, the jib filled, and the vessel began to move. "Cat and fish the anchor!" called the vice-principal; and his order was passed forward. "Cat and fish the anchor!" exclaimed Perth.
Our equality of age brought us together in the classes of the mathematics and 'belles lettres'. His ardent wish to acquire knowledge was remarkable from the very commencement of his studies. When he first came to the college he spoke only the Corsican dialect, and the Sieur Dupuis, who was vice-principal before Father Berton, gave him instructions in the French language.
Accordingly, Vice-Principal Leach received £55 of the £404 in arrears; L. D. Montier, the Lecturer in French, was given £4 of the £34 due him, and the others were paid very small amounts in proportion for a year or, as in the case of the Vice-Principal, several years of work. A grant of £25 was asked for by the College authorities to purchase books for students, but it was of necessity refused.
Mountain, Principal of the Royal Institution, on December 11th, 1844: "The Board of the Royal Institution, at the request of Professor Lundy, Vice-Principal of McGill College, and in consequence of a variety of circumstances leading them to believe such a step expedient and necessary, met at Montreal on the 14th November, and, as Visitors of McGill College under the Royal Charter, entered into an examination of the whole affairs of that Institution.
