William Pai ne William " , Wanton , George Sproule , ephaniah Kingsley , John Coffin , Ward Chipman and Adino Paddock . 1 3 1 5 On December , 78 , the memorial received the favor of able consideration the Governor in Council , and it was “ ordered That the attorney - general (Bliss) and solicitor - gen n eral (Chipman) , with all conve ient speed , be directed to pre ” pare the draft charter of the said I nstitution . r min n w e e e e t . The signers of the memorial , men Paine and Chipman were Harvard graduates . Wanton was a son of the Governor of Rhode Island and first collector of customs of the City of St . j ohn . Sproule was a native of Long Island , Y f n - N . , and a terwards for ma y years surveyor general of New n Bru swick . Kingsley was an eminent merchant of Charleston , k C . 5 . , and a "ua er by religion Coffin was from Boston and had a distinguished military career , being at the time of his death (at the advanced age of eighty - seven years) a General i n the British army .

Doctor William Paine , the first of the signers of the memo a s a a . rial , w native of Worcester , M ssachusetts At the peace 1 f‘T' in 78 3 , he obtained from Governor Parr a grant o ete Island in Passamaquoddy Bay and went there to live . Writing from 1 4 : thence in August , 78 , he says “ M y situation I like - very much ; my lands are certainly well located , and if M rs . Paine could content herself I should be well pleased . Her obj ection is that the children cannot be properly edu ca ted"This island will soon be a place of conse n im th r n i r n B u ce e i c a l o t i riti h Amer a . q e , and ult ately p p p s ic ’ Paine s expectatio ns were based upon the proximity of the ’ L E ta n fine harbour known as g , near the mouth of the Bay of n . w a s 1 Fu dy Dr . Paine in 78 5 elected a member of the first House of Assembly for the County of Charlotte and appointed first clerk of the House . I t is said that at a dinner party given by Doctor and M rs . s f Paine in Worcester , M as , shortly be ore the outbreak of the Revolution , some of the Whigs refused to drink the health of i otto voc the King , until John Adams adv sed them s e, to comply , saying , We shall be able to return the compliment . Accord ingly Adams immediately afterwards proposed the health of " n his Satanic M ajesty , the Devil Paine was very indigna t , ' but his wife with ready woman s wit turned the laugh on ‘ Adams “ - by saying , My dear , as the gentleman has been so kind as to ’ drink the King s health , let us by no means refuse to drink to his frie nd . I n 1 78 6 the Governor -in - Council ordered that acres of land in the vici nity of Fredericton be devoted to the main t ena nce of the Provincial Academy of Arts and Sciences . And 1 9 in the session of 7 3, the House of Assembly resolved that an 20 for annual sum , not exceeding £ 0 , be allowed the purpose of assisting in the erection of proper buildings for the Academy . The site selected was near the present Christ Church Cathedral . The Academy was at first little more than an old time Grammar I n 1 w a s School . 8 00 , however , it established by provincial ” charter as the College of New Brunswick , and five years later there was added to its annual income the sum of £ 100 derived from the rentals of its lands . From time to time the grant was i ncreased until in the time ofSir Howard Douglas ( 1 8 29) it had reached a sum equivalent to currency , and this continued to be the annual legislative gran t for current a s a s 1 . expenses until late , at least , 8 98 T he enesis o the niversi o N ew runsw ic G f U ty f B k . 5 1 8 1 1 . I n the Rev J ames Somerville , M .A . , LL . D . , became Principal Preceptor of the Academy , and on M arch 25 , 1 8 20 , the same gentleman became the first and only President “ ” of the College of New Brunswick . He was succeeded at M . cCa w le . A . r the Academy by the Rev George y , B , of Windso , N . S . These two eminent teachers were associated in Academic n and Collegiate work for the next sixtee years . The staff of the college proper consisted of Dr . Somerville alone , as we learn from his address to the first and only graduating class of 21 1 2 the College of New Brunswick , delivered on February , 8 8 , in which he observes : “ To assert that one man , although his abilities and acquire ments were greatly superior to mine , when thrown upon his in i own solitary resources , could perform what in similar st t u the f tions is business of five or six , would savour more o the vain boastings and empty pretence of an emperic than the iffi nc modesty and d de e of a scholar , but I can confidently say ” I have done what I could . A . The Candidates who were admitted to the degree of B . , on this oc casion , were Samuel Denny Lee Street and Daniel A . H . Smith , and on the same day Timothy R . Wetmore , B . , ’ . a un . of King s College , Windsor, was admitted B A d e dem Street , the first graduate , was a younger brother of J udge t he . George Frederick Street and of Hon John Ambrose Street , - attorney general of the province in 1 8 5 1 . He entered the ministry of the An glican Church and was for forty -one years * rector of the Parish of Woodstock . The three gentlemen j ust mentioned were the only graduates of the College of New Brunswick . The building in which their degrees were con ferred stood not far from the site of the Cathedral . 2 1 2 The provincial legislature , on M arch 5 , 8 3, passed an act to enable the governor and trustees of the College of New Brunswick to make a conditional surrender of their charter , having in view the obtaining of a Royal Charter from the f crown . Soo n a ter the arrival of Sir Howard Douglas in 1 4 August , 8 2 , the site of the new college building was chosen , ’ and during t he next two years the sound of the workman s hammer was heard in the construction of the nobler and more enduring college building that still crowns the hill back of 1 2 Fredericton .

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in simi­ lar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrange­ ment, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessz'ng at probabilities, have in­ volved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost with­ out number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa,- records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible.

Tefferv! THE DAY OF SIR JOHN MACDONALD A Chronicle of the First Prime Minister of the Dominion BY SIR JOSEPH POPE K. C. M. G. TORONTO GLASGOW, BROOK & COMPANY 1915 PREFATORY NOTE WITHINa short time will be celebrated the centenary of the birth of the great statesman who, half a century ago, laid the foundations and, for almost twenty years, guided the destinies of the Dominion of Canada. Nearly a like period has elapsed since the author's Memoirs of Sir John Macdonald was published. That work, appearing as it did little more than three years after his death, was necessarily subject to many limitations and restrictions. As a connected story it did not profess to come down later than the year 1873, nor has the time yet arrived for its continuation and completion on the same lines. That task is probably reserved for other and freer hands than mine. At the same time, it seems desirable that, as Sir John Macdonald's centenary approaches, there should be available, in convenient form, a short r6sum6 of the salient features of his vii viii SIR JOHN MACDONALD career, which, without going deeply and at length into all the public questions of his time, should present a familiar account of the man and his work as a whole, as well as, in a lesser degree, of those with whom he was intimately associated.

    Paul Kane's Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental

    I.S. MacLaren Paul Kane’s Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental Canadian Nationalism Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America (1859) helped make Paul Kane (181-71) a native Canadian, “a founding father of Canadian art” (Royal), and a figure of Canadian nationalism. The solitary wanderer began and ended his travels in Toronto. This was his hometown after immigration from Ireland in about 1819, and again after his travels to upper Lake Huron and Wisconsin in 1845 and to Vancouver Island in 1846-48. It was in Toronto that what were thought to be his most accomplished works came into public possession in 1912, in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum. They taught generations of southern Ontarians what Indians look like, as Katherine Hale’s romantic poem “Cun-ne-wa-bum” illustrates well. As a father of Canadian art and a hardy early Canadian traveller in a vague tradition rooted in the voyageur, Kane served Canada’s need for heroes before and after Confederation. He is not on record as ever having corrected the sobriquet of “first native artist in Canada,” bestowed on him in 1852 ([Hind], “Provincial” 6; qtd. in Harper, “Ontario” 18 and Painting 115), seven years before his book identified Little York as his “native village” ([vii]), native not being the complicated descriptor that it is in Canada today. The construction of him as a solitary wanderer and yet a symbol of an entire nascent country grew complicated. So too did the aims of his Wanderings. Was it meant to narrate one man’s effort to record

    New Brunswick A story of transformation presented by Next NB/Avenir N-B In this and virtually every other culture, a university represents knowledge and enlightenment. We are a repository for cultural values and we can be an instrument of reform. In our commitment to truth, we can and should challenge the status quo. John D. McLaughlin President, University of New Brunswick It is time for New Brunswickers to talk to each other. Our province and our region face some challenges, which means both must confront some difficult questions. Just as our nation seeks to redefine its role in the world economically, militarily and diplomatically, so too must New Brunswick’s citizens decide for themselves their place in Canada. Next NB/Avenir N-B will do that through a series of discussion papers it will release between February 2004 and June 2005. These papers will be supported by public forums held throughout New Brunswick and will culminate with a conference in Saint John. Next NB/Avenir N-B will be a bilingual project to reflect New Brunswick’s bicultural nature and its distinction as the only officially bilingual province in Canada. Next NB/Avenir N-B is a unique opportunity to explore what New Brunswickers think about themselves, their province and its place in Canada and the world. Please join us in the conversation.
