Queen's College.
One of the most' striking events at the recent University Commencement was the conferring of the  degree of Bachelor of Electrical Engineering on the  late Frank Marsh McCutchan, who enlisted immediately after passing his examinations, but before the degree  could be conferred. He was killed at the front, but, by special resolution of the Council, the degree is granted  to all those who are in this position. The Dean of the  Faculty (Prof. Payne) read a brief account of his career,  and the whole audience stood while the  Chancellor conferred the degree.
