TEXT OF ADDRESS

Following is the full text of Dr. Wbitton's address:

"Sammy." Dr. Robertson. whose memory this leclureship honours. served The Island. and the much broader constituency of The Marl- tlmes and clnssiclsts everywhere. in the rich ripe scholarship of his living; and. dying, he bequeathed them the memory of a strong up- right character, proving how great can be the impact upon a whole community and generation of even one life. grounded in the service of honour and of truth.

"Rejoice ys dead. rejoice where'er your spirits dwell. Rejoice that yet on earth your

fame is bright And that your names. remember'd day and night Dwell on the lips of those who love ye well. 0 O I Now ye are starry names above the sun ye t'lImb To light. the gloom of time with dcathlcss flames.'

Lord Tiveedsmulr. tso Group .Captain ”Ronnie" Stewart. whom we know as "P.F).l.” Stewart in Canada.” tells moi. said of Dr. Robertson. ”l-is is a man whose

likes and dislikes I think I would share."
