PLEA FOR TOLERANCE Dean Buchanan Speaks to Rotary Club and Tells of Development Of Universities in Canada Greater religious, political, economic and International tolerance was the plea of Dean Daniel Buchanan of the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia, in an address yesterday before the Prince Rupert Rotary Club on the subject of "The Universities and the Public."

C V. Evitt presided and Introduced the speaker and thanked him at the close. Visitors present included C. C. Mills, Roy Summers. O. P. Lyons, Dr. H. N. Brocklesby. Pete Sunderland. Dr. W. A. Rlddell. Otto Young and O. C. Walker. A welcome home was accorded to Harry Rochester, who made his first appearance at a club luncheon In a number of months, the chairman remarking on how well he looked. Dean Buchanan remarked on opening that the primary purpose of a university was not conferring degrees but conserving and increas ing knowledee. It was not designed to help people to make money. Tracing the growth of the Uni versities of the East the speaker mentioned that King's College, an Anglican Institution, was the first 0 be established in Canada. It was open only to those who subscribed 'o the thirty-nine articles of faith This" led to the establishment of Dalhousie In Nova Scotia. A building was erected with funds secured during the War of 1912 when the Canadians, held if small American xrt and collected port dues and 'ook the money back with them to Canada. For twenty years the building was not used and, when inder Governor Dalhousie, it came o life, in SDlte of the fact that It 'vas founded as a protest against he excluslveness of the Anglican University It refused to take on its ctaff a prominent Baptist and this led to the founding of Acadia University, a Baptist institution.
