[At Last by Charles Kingsley]@TWC D-Link bookAt Last CHAPTER XIV: THE 'EDUCATION QUESTION' IN TRINIDAD 15/31
Verteuil. Henry Court. M.Maxwell Philip. His Honour Mr.Justice Fitzgerald. Andre Bernard, Esq. The last five of these gentlemen being, I believe, Roman Catholics.
Most of the Board of Education were also present; the Principal and Masters of the Collegiate School, the Superiors and Reverend Professors of St.Mary's College, the Clergy of the Church of England in the island; the leading professional men and merchants, etc., and especially a large number of the Roman Catholic gentry of the island; 'MM.
Ambard, O'Connor, Giuseppi, Laney, Farfan, Gillineau, Rat, Pantin, Leotaud, Besson, Fraser, Paull, Hobson, Garcia, Dr.Padron,' etc.
I quote their names from the Gazette, in the order in which they occur.
Many of them I have not the honour of knowing: but judging of those whom I do not know by those whom I do, I should say that their presence at the inauguration was a solid proof that the foundation of the new College was a just and politic measure, opening, as the Gazette well says, a great future to the youth of all creeds in the colony. The late Governor's speech on the occasion I shall print entire.
