Extract

I am happy to have been given this opportunity to pay tribute—a warm personal tribute, and a tribute from my colleagues and the University which I represent—to the distinguished Department of the University of Toronto whose half-century of accomplishment is being celebrated in this series of lectures. Though longevity provides the occasion for the celebration, it is quality that we honour. Distinguished as its history has been, at no time has the Department of Political Science in the University of Toronto commanded more respect among economists and political scientists than it does at present.

I welcome, also, the opportunity to pay loyal tribute to the founder of the Department of Political and Economic Science of Queen's University whose work did much to set the direction and the tone of teaching and studies in Politics and Economics, not only at Queen's University, but elsewhere in this country.
