co-operation with me in my work. As regards civil myself the longer I have the honour of administering the Government of the Colony, every day do I feel more and more how grateful I am for the opportunity of being placed in that high position. I learn every day new things connected with the administration of the Colony, things which are of daily increasing interest to me, and among them this College of Medicine, which—I say it in all humility—I know very little of before I had the honour of administering the Government. I know very little now about all these things, and it is a great privilege to me to assist at anything in connection with which my knowledge is not as extensive as I could wish it to be. I therefore simply say that every time I am asked to take the chair at such meetings as this, I always welcome the opportunity, because it gives me a great opportunity of learning something of the working of the Colony. (Loud applause.)

This concluded the proceedings.
