St. Paul's College has undergone maay vicissitudes, but the person-

To-day, after twenty-one years' service, as he is about to lay down the headship in favour of his younger brother, Mr. Evan Stewart, we would place on record our pro- foundest gratitude to him for all he has done. I hope, Mr. Stewart, in the years that remain to you of service in this Colony and I hope they will be many) you, with the experience you have behind you, may be privileged to see. equally Chcouraging results.
