MrArlhur, professor ot history st Queen's Univer sity, In the course of sn address to members ot the Canadian Club at luncheon on Saturday. In Chateau Laurler. Professor McArtbsr spoke on: "The Legacy of New France." He reviewed the historical background ot the early French settlers la Canada and Its Influence on them and their attitude lo lite and contrasted It with the influence ot Puritanism on the early English settlers on this continent. Both had played a part in the establishment ot Canadian characteristics. Give Hnlutlo.
