Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Ottawa Collegiate Institute, 1843-1903: With Contributions by Ex-Pupils and Friends of the School Thanks are due to S. J. Jarvis for pictures; and to all Trustees, Principals, Teachers and others who kindly loaned their photographs, to illustrate this volume. Special thanks are due to all the contributors, for without their aid the book could not have been produced as it is. The names of all contributors may be found at the end of their articles. Special mention must be made of the Editorial Committee for their time and care in editing the book as the work entailed a great deal of labor. Men tion should also be made of D. A. Campbell, B. A. And A. H. Mc Dougall, B. A. For special help in compiling the lists of medallists and graduates respectively. It was impossible in a volume of this size to deal exhaustively with all questions of interest in the history of the School, therefore a selection had to be made. It would have been well if more space had been given to the work of many teachers - other than the head-masters - who have given good service to the School during portions of the sixty years; in this respect the book fails. Among the illustrations it was desirable to include the photographs of many of the illustrious ex-pupils of the School, but the numbers were so great that it was utterly impossible to make a selection that might not give offence. Those that are given are oficials, withothers in groups to illustrate events in the School's life. In future volumes most of the illustrious sons and daughters of the Institute will obtain proper recognition. Let it be borne in mind that this is only the beginning - this is the first volume of the history of an institution whose life and influence will go on forever and forever. To those who may be disappointed, and there will be many, we would repeat what a Roman Emperor once said Hope not for the Republic of Plato; but be content with ever so small an advance, and consider even that as a gain worth having.
